A weekend away

So occasionally I get the chance to head down to Salem and spend a "weekend" with my mom. It is always a much-needed break and I enjoy just sitting around talking with her. This last trip we had a nice day with the kids and spent some time outdoors.

Here is a picture of Jesse with some glasses that I used to wear when I was his age. Priceless....

We went to Mission Mill- an old mill that made yarn? Things out of wool? Maybe I really should look through the museum there more often. Anyway, they have ducks on a river that Jesse LOVES to feed.

My bald little Charlotte.

A group shot! Pretty cute I think. Again I must mention these are all taken by my mother's far more superior camera. I don't even want to put my pictures up because they would pale in comparison to hers. :)

Jesse being his mischievous self. Can you tell? Love it.

Again, like his father, pulling a face for the camera.

Me and my baby!

So cute!

She has turned into my little thumb sucker! I just think it is CUTE!

A few updates- Jesse wrote his first letter yesterday. It was "M" for momma. :) I feel loved. He has hit a coloring high in his life- he finds pictures online to print off and he colors them so fast I feel like that is all I do- press the print button for them to print! Also, we are moving at the end of February into something a little bigger, with some green spaces, and into a more private area. We absolutely LOVE this area and the ward we are in so we will probably be here for a while! My baby sister comes home on March 3rd from her 18 month mission in McAllen, Texas. We are really looking forward to seeing her again. Other than that, we are doing well! Andy is getting good grades in school and I am subbing, tutoring an awesome set of kids, and otherwise loving life! Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
