April snow brings May flowers

On Saturday this is what greeted us....SnOw!! Thankfully it'll warm up fast and melt it all quickly!
Jeter is starting to show his personality more everyday. He makes new faces like the once below. And can make lots of new noises. He says Ma and Da But doesn't know what he's saying so for now it's just fun to hear him practicing new noises. I love when he just says the same sound over and over, so funny!
Happy Jeter!

I have been going to a park nearby and it's fun just to get outside and get some sun on our faces!


Jeter at the Park!


Just trying out the sink...


And just smiling for the camera!


SO! This Sunday was little Logan's blessing in Kingman. We wake up bright and early get all ready and out the door, only four minutes behind schedule. Well 50 minutes outside of Flagstaff is the town of Winslow. As we enter this lovely town a big sign says "road closed 7 miles ahead, expect delays". Not good. The blessing is at 11:00am and we still have a good hour and a half to go! Well we come to a complete stop at 9:05 AM behind a semi. And we wait, and wait,...and wait. This was our view for SIX HOURS!!!!!



But that doesn't stop Kam, Jeter and I from having a fun day! We took pictures and ate a tasty lunch, used the internet on Kam's phone and had some good quality time together which doesn't happen much these days because of work and school. And Jeter was so good the whole time!


Daddy and Jeter getting some fresh air. It actually was a good experience because we were able to look at all the positives of the situation. Like the good weather, imagine if we got snowed in or something!


Our yummy lunch consisted of brownies, cheezits, and a yummy pasta salad I had made for the blessing.


Buuuut since we wern't prepared to eat in our car I got to eat with a serving spoon!


And Jeter munched on his bottle.


We finally got to squeeze onto the shoulder at about 3ish PM and drive don the on ramp. What really urged us to make that decision was the car beside us opening up the lane and we needed to use the bathroom :) It's funny how a situation like this could be soo miserable but the time really did go by fast and it was fun spending time together (don't know if being stuck in the car had anything to do with that haha) and just keeping a good outlook on the whole deal. When we got home we found out that the roads wouldn't be open until 10:30 PM !!!!!! yikes. There were several other accidents on our way back into town, just not a day to be on the road I guess!


**Shout-out to Nick in Hawaii for graduating this past weekend! Good Job and we can't wait to see you back in AZ!

Wow six hours?? Way to stay positive and make the most of it! Also, we should definitely go to the park together one of these days!

Good thing I asked you to make pasta salad so you didn't starve to death :) We were bummed you couldn't make it but we're glad you are safe and you're day wasn't too bad. Grandma Johnson was sad she didn't get to see Jeter since she hasn't met him.
