Grandma Johnson and Trip to Anchorage

The trip to Anchorage went great. We left the dogs at home and had a neighbor kid come over and take care of them. I was a little nervous about that being their first time being watched but they did very well. I left a lot of treats for the kid to hopefully lure them and get to them to listen if they decided to mis behave. Haha they did awesome though, I really should give them more credit, especially Bubba. Anyway my mom and I flew into Anchorage and I got to use the family truck to pick up Traivs from the airport on his way back from Utah. It was a pretty cool reunion, I don't think he anticipated missing Wyatt so much. He spent a few extra minutes kissing on him before me so I KNOW he missed Wyatt a lot:) He bought him a bunch of little shirts and toys and it was very nice to have the family back together. We got to stay with Questa and Jesse in Anchorage and it was a very relaxing nice first night, with some awesome Thai food, haven't had that for a while so I was very excited! The next day we got to visit with Nana Laura for a minute and then we went shopping from about 10am to 4pm, yup shopping ahh just what I needed, a little retail therapy. Wyatt must have known I needed to walk around the mall aimlessly or something because he didn't make a peep the whole time and slept in his car seat! Perfect shopping buddy! That night we headed to Uncle Will and Aunt Lyndas for some homemade dinner and go to visit with the whole fam, and Wyatt got to meet his second cousin Liam who just turned a year! It was really nice seeing everyone with Wyatt for the first time. They just loved him, they all mentioned how much he looked like Uncle Rex, and yes he does! I remember Aunt Linda telling Grandpa, " man its like looking at my baby brother." Haha very cute, they all mentioned he was much cuter in person and they loved being with him. The next morning Aunt Lynda watched baby Wyatt for us and we went to breakfast with Grandpa Delbert, that was only the second person I have left him with, and I did surprisingly well but I was definitely missing him on the drive back. Anyway he was perfect and slept the whole time she said:) That night we got to go out to Red Robin, oh yeah I got a big fat hamburger, fries and vanilla milkshake, I had been dreaming of it ever since we got to Kodiak! Overall the trip was good but went way to fast. We will have to make a trip very soon. The flights for Wyatt for awesome too, he slept the whole there and the whole way back. Good baby!

Newby men

Well my mother has come and gone. She was a huge help and enjoyed her time with her first grandson. She especially liked the fact they had matching hair, haha it was cute, she also agreed he definitely looks like a Newby boy. We had a lot of fun with Wyatt. The weeks she was here seemed to be when he really started vocalizing a lot and making more and more noises, especially in the morning. She did a lot of site seeing, and especially enjoyed the over abundance of bald eagles out here, their everywhere! The dogs really enjoyed mom, they slept on her lap and in her bed with her every chance they got. We did a hike to Fort Abercrombie with Wyatt and he seemed to do well in my backpack, however the walk in the jogging stroller did not do so well. He was screaming the entire time, guess we will wait to try that again! We are hoping she will get out here again with my dad and brother in the summer, but ticket prices are just outrageous right now so we will have to see. I could tell my mom got pretty attached to little man, and it was very hard for her to go. Wyatt will be in your arms again mom, don't worry!:)
