Today PJ is wearing our favorite onsie(it has a tie, its his business onsie). We tried taking a picture while he was still, but since that rarely happens we went for a blurry happy picture.

PJ's Vacation Highllights
We are back in Seattle. Its good to be back at home but always sad to leave sunny Medford and the G-Rents. We had a fantastic trip! I apologize that there haven't been many pictures; we forgot the fancy camera at home. We were having too much fun to snap much more than just a few quick iPhone pictures.
Wednesday, we celebrated the country's birthday with a parade in Ashland, and then a walk around the Ashland festival. In the evening we headed over to Uncle Todd and Aunt Beth's house for a family BBQ. PJ's had several highlights for the day - Lots of hugs from mom, dad, G-Ma and Poppy, explored the G-Rents garden and orchard in his jammies, shared mom's ice cream, swimming with dad, corn on the cob and a late bedtime!
On Thursday and Friday we had lazy mornings just enjoying each other's company and relaxing. Poppy and Ry went golfing both days while G-Ma, PJ and I went to Kid Time. We checked out Kid Time on Thursday and went back and did some cleaning on Friday. Kid Time is a great place for kids of all ages to explore with art, puppets, and make believe in several different settings. G-Ma is helping out to make the place even better. It was fun to go see the project and let PJ explore. PJ's highlight of the day was having lunch with G-Ma. He loves his G-Ma, especially when she shares her food and drink! Friday evening we went over to the Batzer's house for a nice BBQ with Aunt Sami and her family. PJ loved playing with Aunt Sami's two nieces. We had great conversation, got all caught up with Aunt Sami and her family, and had a delicuous meal! We missed Uncle Troy but we know we will see him soon! (Come on Baby Hammell, we are all excited for your arrival!!!)
On Saturday we had a nice hike at Ashland Lake with the G-Rents. We walked along the lake and had a gourmet picnic afterwards. On our way home we stopped at Sanctuary One to see all the animals G-Ma hangs out with a couple times a week as a volunteer, giving educational tours and doing whatever chores need to be done. My favorite were the pigs, I think PJ most enjoyed the goats since he got to touch them.
A great trip! PJ definitely wore out the G-Rents with all of his demands to be picked up and put down and picked up. If they were ever worried that he would forget them because they are not next door I think this trip solidified that he will always know who they are and loves them so much!

Talking to Uncle Troy
Here is a picture of G-Ma and PJ talking on the phone with Uncle Troy (in Korea). Uncle Troy can see how excited his nephew was to "speak" with him, since PJ didn't do any actually speaking.
Corn on the Cob
We discovered this week that PJ loves corn on the cob! He is so dang cute eating it.

Bowl Hat
We are at G-Ma and Poppy's house which means PJ has unlimited access to kitchen bowls, spoons, cups, etc. I know this picture is blurry but its hard to get a picture of a busy little boy walking/running around just after eating a delicious G-Ma breakfast.

Poppy's Hat
PJ loves to take the hat that you are wearing and put it on his own head. He won't wear a hat that fits him, but just about anything else he will try and put on his head. Today he decided Poppy's hat is the best. He just kept taking it off and putting it back on.

On Our Way to Medford!
Vacation has started! In just a short 8-9 hours, we will be in Southern, Oregon with G-Ma and Poppy! I have been slow with my phone and capturing picutres so I will provide a visual. PJ is in the back seat with several toy options and snacks, the back of the VW wagon is occupied by Cheyenne and two large bags. And of course the car topper is filled to the brim with hiking boots, golf clubs, the BOB, and the kid carrier backpack.
UPDATE: Just after 9pm, we made it! PJ was so excited to see the G-Rents he stayed up for about 45 minutes, going from Poppy to G-Ma and then repeating.

Adult Night
Last night we had a night out with some friends, while PJ slept soundly in Jake and Tashi's care. The evening was all planned out by our hosts, a mystery dinner with a delicious 4 course meal. Ry was assigned to play a detective and I was the coroner. We had to act and dress the part. I got to wear scrubs (best excuse to be super comfy at a dinner party) and Ry dressed like Magnum PI. 2 hours of prompted questions, joking around and good food it was revealed that I was the murder! A fun evening!
