Trip to CO!!!!

Hey all,

We got back from our Colorado trip last night! It took 31 hours on the way there driving all night and about the same on the way back all night as well. We had lots of fun seeing tons of Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and more while we were there. Azariah was the youngest Grandkid coming in number 28 and he met a cousin there that was the 38th Grandchild (just a month younger then him). Some weren't able to make it and those who did weren't all there at the same time but that gives you the idea of how big this side of our family in. We got there on Saturday night. And on Sunday there was the Anniversary party which was a blast seeing everyone as well as celebrating Grammy and Granddads 65th wedding anniversary, which does not happen that much any more. We did lots of stuff while we were there and enjoyed it so much. Azariah actually did really well in the car. He got lots of attention there getting held a ton by the various cousins and loved every minute. He started to get a cold on the way back and got tired of the car but still did really well. Well, I'll try and put some pictures of the trip up. But I just wanted to say we all got home safe and sound and had lots of fun on the trip. What a blessing it is though to have such a wonderful family! We love them all.

Life!

Well, I have been meaning to post for a while, but haven't done it! Azariah however is getting bigger and bigger and the rest of the family is having so much fun with him. There are a lot of firsts! Only a couple months ago he went on his first Bike Ride, and in the last week he has started solids. He also found his thumb and almost prefers his fingers and thumb to the bingki, apparently he is the only thumb sucker of the all us kids! :D Today he has also figured out that he has this amazing thing in his mouth that he can move around and make noises with and if you poke it out far enough there is a cool breeze on it! So tonight at Apologetics he was clicking and clacking and humming while he played with his tongue and the rest of us tried to listen to the Men speak on the three Apologetics topics. :D One of the biggest "First things" he has done will start tomorrow when we leave the house up to Jos for 10 days and travel to Colorado for Thanksgiving and our Grandparents 65th Wedding Anniversary. You can pray for safe travel and that both Azariah and the other kids will be able to last in the car for 2-3 days all day and night there and back and not start pulling their hair out. I'll try to get up some more pictures of our trip to CO and of this growing boy. For those who read this to see.

When I began this post I was just gonna write a post with no pictures! But when I decided to just add a couple ...well it got out of hand :D We seem to have million pictures of him and all so cute, so here are a few pictures for ya'all to see.

One day while everyone was gone except for us we got a little crazy! :D Here is one of the pictures we took. (Yep, thats an orange mustache that Malachi has from some juice he drank).

He likes to hang around with Jos a lot! :D

This would be Azariahs First Spa!

Well, this isn't the greatest picture but thought it was funny and there you have Azariah with his hands in his mouth :D

Yep, Jed got to be the King getting pulled around :D I think this is Azariahs first Wagon ride too!
