Sunny Redding

This past weekend Landen and I went over with Janelle, Mikey, Casey and Natalie to Redding. Rachelle flew in on Saturday and got to hang out with us too:) The boys went on to Sacramento and went riding and to the races and us girls with our 4 boys (and another boy on the way) stayed in Redding and went to the water slides and hung out at the motel pool. We went to the water slides when they openedbut by the time it was 1, i believe, Landen was done. I tried to get him to fall asleep in the stroller or the chair and he just couldn't, so we went back to the motel and the boys took 2 hour naps and of course so did I:) Then we went to the pool and I will never stay at another hotel in Redding because the Red Lion has a 2-foot kids pool! I thought it was the coolest thing ever invented!!:) LOL I think I liked it better than Landen.

This trip was a great experience for Landen. He is so used to being only with me, his dad, my mom, sis or Wes so he gets nervous around other people. I thought he would be glued to me and nervous the whole time being on a trip with other families...but he did GREAT! By the time we got over there he was even warmed up to the guys...he ran around like it was nothing! Yay...I think he's growing up:) I was proud of him. I know the reason he did so good too was because we were with some AWESOME people. Janelle and her family are great people and I am so thankful to be able to spend as much time with them as I do. Janelle...thank you for being such a great friend and so good to Landen. Your boys are great and Landen sure loves you guys:) And Natalie and her family is just as great. I'm so happy to have met you Nat. Landen just loves all the boys and we have lots of fun with the Jones's:)

Now let me just say how much I LOVE Redding!!! Now I know why as a kid I always wanted to live there...because there is so much to do and it's SO nice!!
Here's some pictures I stole from Nat since I forgot my camera...I'm mostly good a that too...
