Trek to Auntie Linda's

This past Saturday, Che'lyn and I decided to pack up the babies and head to Logan to see our dear Aunt Linda. Linda is nearly bed-ridden due to a pinched sciatic (is that how you spell that?) nerve. Nevermind the fact that she is also pregnant and that is difficult in itself. She felt bad that she had never met baby Hudson, so we thought it a great idea to go visit.

Hudson and I. Love the self-portraits, eh?
Aunt Mari Ann and Hailie were there, too, which made it an extra special partay. I bribed Hallie all week long by telling her she would get to go see Hailie  if she was a nice girl. (I would have taken her anyway, but she didn't know that...)
Linda and Mari took turns with the babies all day, which was awesome. Hallie had a blast with her cousins Ryen and Jack. Jack is about her age and Ryen is 6.
Check out this awesome look. Jack ventured down the stairs to go play outside with his underwear over his diaper, no pants, and awesome boots. Needless to say, he didn't make it outside like this. Darn those parents for properly dressing him.
Che' took it upon herself to do glitter toenails for all the females. Hallie chose pink, of course. So cute and ready for summer!
Hudson and Jace hanging out together. Jace has a onesie that says "Hudson's bestie" and I wanted him to wear it, but it is far too huge. Another time, another time.
Hallie loves Hudson and talks about him nonstop. She of course wanted a turn to hold him and to help put his binky in his mouth.
Che' and I left Linda's house with far more than we came with. See below:
Yes, that's right. This is part of the haul we made. Linda and Brad are having a girl and then they are done, so they pulled out all their boy clothes and let us go through them. We had to use the system like one of our rich relatives died and pick one at a time so that we both got our favorite items without fighting. Yes, the goods were that great that it might have been a full on fight if we didn't do it that way. I love Che's look in this picture because, yes, it was almost overwhelming!
Sorry for the low quality on all these pictures- the camera must have been on the wrong setting. I'm kinda upset about it, but what do you do?
Some group shots. These are REALLY bad quality. UGH.
Gotta love the fam! Oh, did I mention that Linda also gave me her old Kitchenaid? She got a new one for Christmas and sent me home with her slightly used old one. SCORE!! I have my mom's old one, which is 20+ years old and only has two speeds- fast and faster. That one quickly made a trip to the DI and our new one is proudly sitting our counter and has already been put to good use.

I told Devin that our trip to Linda's house was quite lucrative and I ought to visit more often. Of course the stakes are higher now...we have a full wardrobe and a kitchenaid, so next time she might need to provide us with a car or something. Ha HA! Just kidding. We are grateful to have such fantastic family and we love time spent with them.
