Baby Blessing

This was the weekend we were to go over to Ellensburg and finally see the newest member of the Morgan family, Blake. He is Jesse's nephew, son of Casey and Liz. His baby blessing was taking place on Sunday and we knew we were going to go, but we decided we didn't want to just drive over in the morning, cause wow that would be early, so we made a loop starting Saturday by going up to Seattle and staying with another one of Jesse's brothers Nathan and his wife Raya. We always love staying with them because of all the sisters in law, and there are a lot, I am probably closest with her and Jesse is really clos with Nathan. Plus they have a daughter that isn't too much older than Peyton and she is really nice to him. She is actually the one that inspired him to walk so we were hoping the same thing would happen with the talking but no luck. Unfortunately, we didn't leave Ony as early as we would have liked and we didn't get to do too much Sat. but we did go out to dinner (mexican) then out for ice cream (Cold Stone, yum!) and back to the house for some Office viewing. They are huge fans and put us to shame, but it is fun to watch with someone else.
The next morning was all about early rising and lots of driving. We had to be up and out by 8 o'clock which meant waking up P. He was suprisingly good in the car but had a minor melt down at church, tradeoffs. Luckily, Jesse's cousin was also having his baby, Addison a tiny little girl, blessed that day. A little 2 for 1 action. That was neat for Jesse to be in two circles in one day, though.

After, we went to local park and the kids got to run themselves ragged while we had a nice little meal. Everyone elses kids crashed out and took naps but ours, can't stop him. Worked out well though since he slept the entire way home, yay! Three hours, what a joy! It was nice to be able and hang out and visist with everyone, it has been a long time since we have seen some of his family, and we hadn't been able to see the babies yet. Peyton's cousins had fun trying to play with him at the playground, taking him down slides and stuff. He wasn't going for it, we had to let them know he is just too independent for that, just let him throw himself down head first. Good weekend, got some quality time with the car, always love that!
