Medford

Last week we got to visit my family in Oregon.  We had such a good time, as usual, and it was sad to leave, knowing we probably won't be back until Christmas.  The boys did great in the 8 hour car ride.  Blake slept almost the entire time and took a bottle in his carseat like a champ so that we wouldn't have to stop for me to nurse him.  Landon mostly chatted about what he saw out the window, played puzzles and watched movies.  Landon is not a great car napper (something he definitely did not inherit from his mom) and on the trip home was a little over nuked.  I think all 4 of us were more than ready to get out of the car by that point.  

This was the first time that any of my grandparents had gotten to see Blake.  It was really special to show him off and let them love on him.  He was great and didn't seem to mind who was holding him!  Landon was also much more comfortable around my grandparents this time too and really showed them lots of love, which made my heart soooo happy!

Decided to take a little snooze!

Great Grandpa Lamson's turn to love on the little man

My cousin came over with her new little baby girl, they are only 2 weeks apart in age...she was such a doll

So precious

Blake was such a great baby when others were holding him

A little reading time with Great Grandpa

Not only are Landon and Blake blessed to have such wonderful great grandparents, they are SUPER blessed to have wonderful grandparents.  Both Jared's parents and my parents are so good with the boys.  They are willing to exhaust themselves to make sure that Landon has a good time and gets to experience all sorts of fun things!  It is such a fun thing to see how excited Landon gets when he sees his Grandpa and Nana (my parents) and his Papa and Grandma (Jared's parents),  what a blessing they all are to us!

While we were in Medford, besides lots of visiting, Landon got to go to the park, 

play in the water 

Hoses are so much fun!

and visit Grandpa's work!  

He was a little unsure about going into the mail truck but my mom said that he had a great time 

Soon, Blake will be able to tag along with his big brother and experience all of these fun things too, but for now naps are pretty darn exciting!

Crazy that we actually got a decent family picture, where our 2-year old was willing to look at the camera!

What a fun trip we had...only wished we all lived closer so we could visit more often!
