Visiting the fam - April 2011

Due to the rigors of med school, poor Jordan had to stay behind while Jude and I spent a week in Utah. I felt so guilty leaving him all alone. I don't know what I'd do without my little family for a whole week.

I love this picture -Daddy's missing his boy already. Jordan was trying to soak up all the cuddle time he could before we left (this was the night before)...
Hanging out in the airport,watching the "choo-choos" pull the luggage to the planes...

Here he is, watching a plane take off! I thought Jude would LOVE flying since he loves reading about, playing with, watching, (etc.) airplanes! It all seemed to be going smoothly until about 30 seconds after take-off when Jude panicked! He was crying and trembling, frantic for a way out!  It broke my heart, but I guess it's somewhat of an intelligent thing to do, right? I figure it takes a certain level of intelligence to be afraid of flying. It took me a minute to calm the little guy down (it helped to shut the windows) and he got better with each flight - thank goodness!

Reading stories in the morning with Aunt Marie, Kellen and Janers!
Cuddling with Grandpa Tom! Jude loves his Grandpa... makes me wonder if it's in part due to the similarities that Tom and Jordan share? 
He loved playing with Grandma Huish!
"This is the way the gentlemen ride..."
Jude was obsessed with this set of cars at Grandma Lynne's! Here he is playing with cousins Kessa and Taya.
Visiting with some of my gal pals... Rachy, Sammy, and Ash (with her adorable new baby Jaxon!)
Playing with the cousins... A typical shot of crazy Kellen in motion!
Jude loves messing with his Uncle Petey the Pug (especially pulling on his curly tail). Fortunately, Pete is a patient, kid-loving pooch.
We took Jude to an Easter egg hunt (sort of... he got one egg!) up on USU campus. I thought I'd turn him into a "True Aggie" while we were there (despite all his squirming)!
My little Aggie!  
You've gotta love this little grin with the tongue out. (I'm pretty sure I used to draw smiley faces that looked a lot like this on all my notes and stuff back in sixth grade...)  I realize now that I wasn't all that great about taking photos, but we had a wonderful trip! It just flew by too quickly.

I love the pictures on the "A"! They are so cute! I'm glad you had an enjoyable time visiting family. Too bad we weren't in Utah at the same time to see you!

Fun Pictures! It reminds me that I need to take my kids up to visit USU. They are very obsessed Aggie fans! Can't wait to see you guys again!
