The first week of July we went to Washington to see Scott Yeates return from his mission to South Africa. If we ever figure out how to add video to our blog we will add the video of us at the airport picking him up. Seeing Scott and all of the rest of my family and most of my extended family (on my mom's side) was so much fun. We love being home on the farm and Jarod thinks its fun to change the wheel-line, he volunteered several times to help Brett with this task. We ate, swam, ate some more, had some hayrides and boatrides, and spent many hours talking. SO FUN! Kellie was kind enough to throw a Baby Shower for me with all Quincy and Moses Lake women. She made the cutest invitations and had a whole Ladybug theme to everything. It was so cute! Since our little one's bedding is ladybug Kellie thought it would make a great theme so everything was red and black and super cute. We had wonderful food, also planned and prepared by Kellie. We had California Citrus Salad, BBQ Chicken Pizzas, 2 kinds of spinach dip, veggies, bread, and some wonderful blondie sundaes drenched in a maple sauce, YUM! We played a couple of games and opened some wonderful gifts. Everyone was so generous with their sweet baby clothes and blankets. Our child is never going to run out of things to wear! I can't thank Kellie enough for all the work she put into the party-she is such a great sister!
After visiting my family we went to Spokane and Chewelah to visit Jarod's family. We got to see our sweet little niece for the first time, Elle. She can scream and squeal louder than anything I have ever heard-I am surprised no windows have broken yet. Everyone was very excited to see us and it was great catching up with everyone. Jim and Jess are expecting to have baby #2 today so we hope all goes well with that-we are thinking about you! We also stopped by to say hi to Jarod's best friend's family, Don and Jodi Norris (we had to dodge a fire to see them but it was worth it). We love visiting family and wish we could do it more often! Hopefully we will see everyone not too long after the baby comes!!!
