the rest of our Billings trip

As you saw in the previous post, we went to Billings for the McKay/McKenna McWedding over Memorial Day weekend.  The wedding was on Friday and we were able to stay until Monday morning, so I got a few more pictures of our fun time there.  Nathan did something weird to the camera at the reception so the first few pictures are black and white, but it turned out kind of cute and artsy, I think.  Total accident!

Here is Nathan with his cousins Anna and Elizabeth.  They are two of Katy's (Jared's oldest sister) daughters.  They love playing downstairs at Grandma's house because she has a fun little room under the stairs filled with toys and dress-up items.  In this picture Anna is dressed as a peasant and Elizabeth as a princess.  Nathan is still in his Sunday clothes, although he had previously been running around with a fireman helmet on his head!

Here is Hannah with Jane, Katy's other daughter.  They are only about 6 weeks apart and this trip was the first time they had gotten to meet.  It was so fun to watch them attempt to interact.  Jane is on the left, she is the older of the two, and several inches taller!  It makes sense though that my baby would be smaller, considering the fact that I'm only 5'1" and Katy is several inches taller than me at least!  The funny thing is at birth Jane was 7 lb 14 oz while Hannah was 8 lb 4 oz! 

Here Jane is grabbing Hannah's face.  They are both in the face grabbing stage, which is so pleasant considering their razor sharp baby nails.  Hannah grabbed Jane's older sister Anna's face at one point during our visit.  I started apologizing and removing her "claws" but Anna said "That's okay, Jane does it all the time!"  What a sweet older sister!

Hannah crawling around on the Kirkpatricks' hard wood floor.

Jared with Hannah and his dad.

Katy and Jane.  This was such a sweet moment.  We really missed Sean, Katy's husband, this trip.  He wasn't able to come because of work, and I know Katy and the girls especially felt his absence!

Kelly, Annie, and Matt.  They are all so resistant to having their picture taken, but I had to insist because one of Nathan's favorite activities is looking at "pictures of Grandma" in the photo album, and we hardly have any pictures of Jared's family!

We drove home on Monday, Memorial Day, and I got to watch a couple of little boys for a family in our ward who was between day cares for the week.  We had them 10 hours a day Tuesday-Friday and Nathan was in boy heaven!  They were ages two and almost four so just a little bit younger and older than Nathan.  He is still asking, "Where did the boys go?"
