Vacation Weekend!!!

For the weekend to celebrate Memorial Day, LJ and I were able to go home to Cambridge and spend some time with family. At the mere mention of going to Grandma's house... someone was a little giggly...




What a funny kid.

As soon as we arrived, little Miss Owynn (getting to be a 'big girl') decided that she was going to take care of LJ for a while...




Too bad that it only lasted for about 10 minutes and then LJ wasn't having it anymore!


Now for the REALLY exciting little tid bit.... For the first time, 4 generations of John Piper were together since the passing of the first John Piper (my great grandpa) - sure miss that wonderful man! Anyway - here is John Gilbert Piper (#2), Johnny Lynn Piper (#3), John Carl Piper (#4), and Jonathan Brian Piper (#5). As soon as I found out I was having a boy, there was no doubt that I wanted my son to carry on such an amazing tradition - and he has quite the name to live up to. Guess my work is cut out to make sure I do my best to raise him as I should.







~On a funny little note~ if you've ever looked at LJ straight on - you'll see that he has his great grandpa's ears.... :) I honestly hadn't noticed until this weekend. It was so awesome!!!

Following the very delicious and family favorite - Uncle Jerry's Ribs - this is also a common scene... Full bellied sleepy men! Gotta love it! Like father like son... Aren't they cute!



And since a litte someone didn't want to miss out on ANY of the action by taking a normal nap... he ended up falling asleep sitting on my lap while we were playing cards. He's such a little funny dude.




Leaving on Monday... After a long weekend of counsins (for LJ) and frisbee golf (grandpa), these two were exhausted following a delicious BBQ Chicken and fresh salad lunch (well... for grandpa, LJ had his cereal and milk) and while I was packing up the remainder of our things and taken them out to the Jeep - this is what I came back inside to find...



Needless to say, both were more than just a little tired. Grandpa didn't wake up until AFTER I had picked up LJ from his lap... :) And what a little trooper, LJ slept the whole way back to Boise! Gotta love him! He's such a good little guy!
