Happy Birthday Whit!

 Happy Birthday Whit!!!  To celebrate we went up to Jim and Karyn's cabin for a few days.  Many thanks to them for letting us do that--we had such a wonderful time!  We got up there Wednesday afternoon and Whit opened up some birthday presents.  

 Nothing too fancy, but I did get him a mug for his sodas :)  Now if we ever get to go to the movies again, refills will only be $1.  And he loves to use it around the house because it keeps the ice frozen.  Kind of a weird present, but he got some new fishing boots as well.  He'll love those next summer. :)  After we opened presents we went down to Oakley for lunch/dinner.  It was Winston's first time in a restaurant.  He did ok, he was asleep for a bit and then he wet his diaper.  Since it's just a little restaurant, the bathroom didn't have anywhere to change his diaper.  So Whit took him out to the truck to do it.  Poor guy, it was really cold out and I don't think he liked that.  He ended up peeing all over the truck!  Yikes!  We are having so many fun adventures with Winston :)

 Whit put him in the carrier so he could do things around the cabin.

 And he got him to fall asleep in it!  I still haven't been able to do that!

 Winston just loved the cabin and was so good up there!  He would just hang out on the ground and look around.  I think he was trying to just take it all in.  He must be bored of our house, since he never lasts more than 10 minutes doing this at home!

 He even smiled for a bit!  

 Friday night our fun friends came up to play some games and spend the night.  We played blockus,

 read some magazines,

 and I won poker!  It was kind of silly really--I'm not that great of a player, but I just kept getting the right cards and ended up winning everyone's chips.  It was pretty fun :)

 Our friends also introduced us to a new game called Mister X.  We loved it!  Whit especially loved being Mister X and trying to hide from all of us.  He had to wear this visor so we couldn't see where he was looking on the board.  It was pretty funny.  It worked though, he ended up winning!  Go Whit!

 More of Winston just hanging out :)

 Winston and I are matchy matchy stripes :)  Didn't even plan that one!

 Before we left Whit made us a nice lunch--paella!  It's something he learned to make on his mission in Spain.  It's totally delicious and I loved it :)

Winston just loves his dad!  I do too :)  

Now we are home again and back to normal life.  I had to go back to work this week, which was a little rough for me.  But my sweet sister and mom took turns watching hWinston and I think he enjoyed spending time with them.  He's slept for 4-5 stretches the past few nights, it's been so heavenly!  We're hoping that it lasts for awhile :)  He really is such a sweet baby and we just love being together!
