Gammy and Jessy visit Ohio

This past weekend  Gammy Yaggie and Jessica visited us here in Ohio.  A lovely visit was had by all.   Here are some pictures and tidbits from the visit. 

The visited started with spoiling Toben and Fiona with gifts of course.  Cant expect anything less from Gammy!

Then of course, it was Jessica's turn because she just turned the the big 1-6.  Yep, look out!  Soon-to-be-driver on the loose.  :)

Toben LOVED having Jessy around to play with

He still made time during the visit to check Facebook though.

 

 

 

 

Fiona has just hit the 6 month mark and is now successfully feeding herself!  Cheerios!
So, she was due for a well baby check up and Gammy and Jess were able to tag along.  Yay!  But we had to get three shots, Boo!
We learned from her appointment that interesting enough she is 27 & 3/4" at 6 months old.  Toben was 28" a couple weeks after his first birthday.  My babies are growing completely different! 

Saturday, we walked around Downtown and saw the Farmers Market and some shops.  Here is a shot of Fiona and Gammy in the children's section of a very nice independent Bookstore, Paragraphs.



Later, Toben Jessy and I went to the Hiawatha Water Park.  What a good time!  Although, we did spend most of the time there in the 1 foot baby pool with Toben.  :)

We did enjoy some refreshing slushys as we sat pool side.  Yum!

:)

Jessica and I both got the courage to go down the huge yellow and blue slides in the back of the next picture.  

Chocolate!

Later that evening we enjoyed S'mores around the campfire.  We all ate until we couldn't eat more.  Then we happily reminisced about Jessica's experience at 'Beaver Camp!'(Beaver One, Beaver All, lets all do the Beaver call... )

Mouth full of marshmellow!

Here's one of Zach... dont want him to feel left out.  Beaver, what?

On Sunday we drove to Chillicothe, Ohio for a family reunion.  I kid you not, at one point we were driving through a corn field to get back to the reunion location!  Super-hicks does not come close to explaining my mom's mom's side of the family.  LOL.

My Moms Uncle Sunny

Yes, that is fresh ink! A couple weeks prior he had his late wife's pic placed on his heart.  It was from when they got married when she was 16 years old.  No joke. 

Sunny's great grandson and his sister Jeraldine's great grandson

Lots of Food was eaten.

Fiona was protesting nursing all day, and just a grumpy teething sassy-britches.

It was a beautiful field that ended with a pond.  Fishing Reunion trophies were given out for those that caught the largest, smallest, and most fish during the reunion.  I told you, super-hicks.  :)

John Ash, 85, raised my grandmother Jeraldine

Its always nice to talk to older people about what they remember.  Especially because my grandmother passed when my mom was only 3 years old...so, none of us ever got to know her.  :(

On Monday, they had to head back to PA.  I could tell Gammy wanted to pack the kids in her bags and take them home with her. :)

Toben just wanted everyone to stay and watch him fly the new airplane he got at the reunion from children's raffle.

Toben wanted to have Jessica stay with us forever.  He misses her the most I think.

Hope you both can come back often!
