A Plane Family Story

Then the following day we made a stop in Tri Cities were we spent the evening with some friends. Thank you Amanda and Joe for letting us stay with you. The kids had so much fun playing with each other, and Conner was so enthusiastic about showing Izabella all of his cool toys.

This stand up piano was Bella’s favorite toy! She danced and sang and played even up till 2:00am. We tried to put the kids to bed, but they had plans to play all night long right along with their parents. Who stayed up just as late playing games. Thanks again Joe for being so patient with my peenuckle playing.

Amanda and Conner

Isn't he so cute, and he's growing up so fast!

Finally on Sunday we made our destination to Royal City, WA, my home. It was great to be able to see my family and there really isn’t anything like being home. I was so excited to spend so much time in Washington. I guess you could say that I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful job, and a job that has a corporate office in Moses Lake. This will allow me to be able to come home and visit any time I have to do training, which was the case this trip also. So Monday and Tuesday I spent in at work but Wednesday the fun really began.

Thursday was one of the greatest Thanksgivings I have ever had, even thought I really over ate. That morning we start off the day with biscuits and white country gravy. As soon as I was done making breakfast (with Russ) I moved into making things for the big dinner. My additions included, homemade gluten free Dressing, Rolls, and two pies, chocolate French silk and sour cream and lemon. Everything turned out wonderful and no one even said anything about the gluten free food. No one but Jenna who insisted that the gluten free rolls were the best she had ever had.
Izabella had so much fun playing with her cousins: Addilynn (Addi) and Douglas (Dougy) Kira’s kids. Unfortunately Jessica was the only one missing, but I guess being 8 months pregnant with twins is a pretty good excuse. We Missed You!!
After all this, the fun was just beginning! Dad was married on Friday and we were off to Hayden Lake, Id to enjoy the wedding and some family fun. The wedding was simple and perfect for Dad and Jeanna. And I truly enjoyed the presents of family. That evening dad and Jeanna volunteered to watch Izabella while Mike and I went swimming in the hotel pool. You may think this wouldn’t be any big deal, but this was no usual pool, that’s because we stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Hayden Lake. This hotel is the home of Raptor Reef, a pool play land including slides and a play land, and the Triple Play including, miniature golf, bowling, a full arcade, wall climbing, laser tag, and I can remember if there is something else or not. It was awesome!
After 10 days away from home we were anxious to get home. There’s no place like home. It was great to see family and to spend so much time with them. We are so glad that Izabella had the time to get to know everyone and for all the love that she experienced. Mike and I have been truly blessed to have such a wonderful little girl who is so happy and playful. We have been blessed with wonderful, loving extended family, a great friends, all whom we love very much. Thank you for your friendship and your love. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that your Holidays will be Wonderful also.
Merry Christmas to all…. (To be continued)
