6.28.11


May 17th we flew to Las Vegas and Gammie and Grandpa picked us up. You did well on the flight thank goodness. We didn't get to Cedar City until about midnight. You woke up when we pulled into the driveway. That night you would not let me put you down do move luggage. You knew you were in an unfamiliar place. The next day you were comfortable with grandpa but it took you several more days to warm up to Gammie. We drove to Southern California to go to Disneyland and Seaworld w/ dad, your sisters, gammie and grandpa, and the Lamonts. You were such a good sport even though these were very long days for you. At disneyland you loved the Jungle Cruise and It's a Small World. At Seaworld you loved the animal show and afterword that show, Gammie and Grandpa took you to the stage and a Macaw sat on your shoulder, but we didn't get a photograph :(  You also saw other extended family. We stayed at the Rueckert's house (Luisa-dad's cousin, Marc, and their Jacob), we also visited with the your Uncle Jun, Aunt Shannon and their sons Luke, Matt, and Wes (5 days old at the time), Grandpa Tim and Grandma Karen, Great G-ma Marianne and Great G-pa Gordon, one day we drove to Fountain Valley and spent a few hours w/ Grandpa Murray, Uncle Ryan and Danny. We went to the beach and visited my brother, Grant's gravesite. We all had a great vacation. We stayed a few more weeks at Gammie's and Grandpa's. You loved rocking on the Tiger toy they had, going on the 4 wheeler, when grandpa fed you treats, feeding the cows, going to the aquatic center (they had a little slide that you did about 20 times every time we went), and playing outside. While we were there you learn to use a lot of signs: food, more, thank you, please, car, book, and milk. Recently you have signed Jesus. Now if you could just use them regularly. You also have a few books you love to read over and over and over. You come sit on my lap and hand me the book and expect me to read it to you. Of course I do, how could I refuse? Sunday we cut your hair very short. Tonight family come to visit for a week (g-ma karen, uncle tyler, g-pa tim, g-ma marianne and g-pa gordon). You're an exceptionally cute, little boy. I love you to pieces.
