Jared's Zoo

This was a time "to sew"! I had a lot of fun designing and making Jared's nursery bedding. You can tell that he likes his new crib and elephant! Maybe he will like his room so much he will sleep through the night and take consistent naps! Unpacking his room was my first priorty when we got to Champaign. Cute little Jared!

Bear Laking

We had a great time at Bear Lake with the Holt Family. They were great hosts and they have a lot of fun toys. We especially liked the ATVs, Jet skis and the boat. They had wild animals all around- 240 stuffed bears and other animals lined the walls of all the bedrooms. We now know why it is called "Bear Lake"- Brad lost his shorts as he flew off the tube and the rest of us almost did. Luckily he had a swimming suit on underneath! Trevor held the record for hanging onto the tube despite wreckless boat driving and being airborne. He used his long legs in crazy directions to keep his balance.

Washburn Moving Co.

We had a great time in Utah helping Grandma settle in to her new house and helping Adam and Lisa move to Illinois. Dad especially liked the part of breaking down in Sidney, Nebraska. If only it had been Sydney, Australia! They have two speeds in Sidney,( according to Dad ) slow and slower. After 2 days, the part finally arrived and they fixed the car and Dad and Adam were on their way again. Dad especially liked the food there in Sidney because it helped him lose 12 pounds in 4 days. Just kidding! We don't know if he got food poisoning or the flu, but it makes a better story if he got food poisoning in Sidney. Mom got training driving a Uhaul and Trevor learned to pack a Uhaul, so we are ready to start our own moving company. Baby Jared slept the whole way to Champaign so he will never remember the move.
