We let the kids light off a few fireworks and sparklers. Monday morning Bryce went home. We took Rex to the bunkerville park to meet up with some friends and watched the fireworks. He did really well even though he was super sleepy. When we got back home Gary and Olivia came over to light off the rest of their fireworks - one of them made a loud noise and that really scared Rex and he was done for the night, but it was super late anyhow.
The following weekend Penny & Luther drove up from Cali for a visit! It was great to see them and for them to meet our little dude. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend much time with them because we had a vacation planned! So the next day Jadon took his first trip on a plane (he did very well)!
We went to Paonia Colorado to visit Chad's side of the family. Chad parents went with us as well. It was really nice to see Bonnie, Terry, Cody, Brandi and the girls!! Paonia is a really small town but it was really pretty and cool. Chad and I enjoyed taking walks in the morning. You can walk anywhere you'd like in that town. Bonnie cooked a thanksgiving style dinner for all of us which was really nice of her. Cody and Brandi took us around to some of the local vineyards/wineries! That was really cool, we were able to sample wine at each of the places and we bought a bottle of each of our favorites and then they were so kind to send them back to us!! It's such a family friendly place there that we brought the babies with us to the vineyards and also to the little local brewery... pretty cool!
Last weekend there was a little going away party for Olivia, she is going to go stay with her mom for a year. We've gotten to know her really well and we're going to miss her. I hope she enjoys her time with her mom and family!!
Looking forward to next month and the month after Rex will be 1!! Yikes time is FLYING!!!
