So Lets Start with my Most Recent Trip Home

So since having Gabe I've been going home every 2 weeks for about 2 weeks at a time. Its been nice, and makes the weeks go by faster. Most recently we went home for Easter. On our way from Ft. Lewis to Clarkston we encountered some not so nice weather going over the pass. Luckily Meghan was driving and we had enough stuff in the trunk to keep us going well enough. Once over the pass though it was smooth sailing and we made it pretty good time. Since Gabe is getting older he is, unfortunately, not sleeping as much as our first trip over. This leads to me sitting smushed in between two car seats while multitasking feeding Gabe and playing with Rylan. Both are pretty good travelers though, we only stopped once in Othello for gas, stretching and diaper changing. So after getting home and making our rounds the decision was made that Rylan would stay the night with Grandma Stacy while Gabe and I would stay at my moms. This made it so that Myles could get a good night sleep and we could get a bed for Rylan to put in Myles's room. The play pen was getting to small for him and he was waking Myles up.
2 days before Easter Grandma Stacys church had an Easter egg hunt a the park. I sprung Myles from daycare and packed all 3 to the park for the fun. Unfortunately the weather was not cooperating, I eventually took Gabe and Myles back to my moms and Rylan stayed with Grandma Stacy. As the time got closer for the hunt Meghan and I ended up taking Myles back out to join Rylan. They were in their own age group so that they would have a chance. Hidden in the eggs were numbers coinciding with prizes. Recurrent with last year Rylan found a number and won a prize! Myles was not so luck, but did have a lot of fun.
As Easter Day came Rylan woke us up at the crack of 6am, so sleepily, my mom and I, Gabe, Myles and Rylan began the day. Both boys got royally spoiled. In the living room were waiting Easter baskets from both my mom and I.
Then we were of to Grandpa Mike and Grandma Karen's for Easter breakfast. After a yummy breakfast made by Grandma Karen there was an Easter egg hunt. Rylan, Jeff, and AJ combed the front yard for the candy and coin filled eggs. Then it was of to Grandma Rae and Grandpa Bills where another basket full of goodies, an Easter egg hunt and a delicious dinner awaited us. All in all it was a long, and fun day. For Rylan being 2 1/2 and it being Gabes first Easter it turned out awesome.
The rest of our time there was spent just relaxing and visiting family. I got to take in a few movies with Meghan and Beth and my mom even took me to the bar. My first time drinking at a bar since turning 21, and not being pregnant!! Jared took me for my birthday but alas I could not consume!
Now I grace you with some pictures!
