Lots of fun and so little time in WV

I have so many pictures from the last few days that I have finally decided to just try the slide show. We left for WV to see my entire family on Saturday morning. (You have got to read my mom's blog to see how our day started!) We filled up the mini van and got out of here by 9am. It was a crazy ride to say the least. I was starving and I made it known but my mom kept saying that we would just wait and see what Mamaw and Papaw had for lunch because she knew that they wanted to surprise me with Jim's spaghetti.....yum! We hung out there for a while and then went up to Peep's to hang out. Ellis loved getting to see Stitch and then he found a decorative bike (which Peep ended up giving him) that he loved and circled the house with it before we went to the benifit for Aunt Sarah Beth.

We saw tons of people at Aunt Sarah Beth thing so that was tons of fun. Alaire got to meet lots of people and Ellis had fun but seemed a little tired at the time. After the dinner we went straight to Peep's to get ready for bed. That night Ellis woke up with a fever so he and I were up from 1 am until 3 am. Alaire spent the night with my mom and they had a rough night as well.

Sunday was spent doing family photos with all of the grandkids on both sides. Peep's was first and went fairly well. After that we went out to lunch and then back for naps. Ellis still had a fever so I was surprised with how well the day had gone so far. Not surprising at all, Alaire was very agreeable for the whole trip, eating whenever, sleeping whenever, and letting whoever hold her. After naps we went for our second picture with the Ellis side. We were burning up and Ellis wasn't feeling great at that moment so it took a little longer but we ended up getting one that everyone was smiling in. After the picture we made usual trip the Baskin Robins and we were on our way.

I think we all loved our time there but I'm glad we are back mainly because of my little man's fever. He woke up without it but it quickly returned. We have been debating an ear infection all day and tomorrow will be the day we decide on going to the doctor or not.

I just read your Mom's blog and got all the info about the benefit from there! Glad it was such a success.

Until next time!
