Trip to Puyallup

Baby B and I took our first plane ride together to visit our family in Puyallup. She was a great passenger, but it was a long day. The way back was a red eye flight--still miserable, but she did sleep during that whole flight! During our visit, Baby B got to see both sets of grandparents, all of my siblings, their kids, and even Mr. B's sister Carly. Grandma Louise had an Easter egg hunt for all the cousins, and baby B found some eggs! Afterwards, Aunt Laura took pictures of baby B and her cousins in beautiful spring dresses. From left to right are Lindsey and Jamie, baby B, and McKenna.

On Friday, we went to Lindsey's 3rd birthday party, which had a Dora the Explorer theme. Awesome food, and Aunt Kelley got baby B her first pair of shades, pictured here with Grandma Louise and Poppy-daddy. Baby B enjoyed wearing them. Uncle Patrick put a Dora pinata head on baby B, and what a funny picture! She didn't mind that either--what a sweet baby.
baby B and the kids really enjoyed each other, and I think Uncle Ben enjoyed her most of all! Here he is with baby B. He is really good at making her happy! We miss him and everyone now that we're back in Atlanta, but it's nice to be with Mr. B again. And of course, as many of you know, I got braces put on the last week of March. Here's a picture of baby B and me on Easter Sunday, with my lovely new look! It's actually not as bad as I expected. I will be wearing braces for 18-24 months. And we are counting our blessings that so far, our Heavenly Father has blessed us to be able to afford them. I feel like it's no coincidence that our tax refund was the same amount as the down payment for the braces. Now we just have to work out monthly payments, and the Lord will definitely provide.

Looks like you had a lot of fun with your family! It looks like you enjoyed yourself. I really liked the picture of all the girls in the brown and pink. Also, good look with your braces. I had them back in high school, and I really didn't enjoy it but maybe you will!

The Dora picture is so hillarious! And I didn't even notice the braces until I read that you had them on, isn't that funny? You look great!
