Birthdays and More

On Friday, July 25th Haley, Xander and I loaded up the Envoy and headed north to Grandpa and Grandma Oey's house.
Brenna was back for a week from Washington and Theresa and Dean came up to see her, so we couldn't resist making the trip. Too bad Tracy had to work till 5 that night and couldn't come with.
Haley had a full morning because we didn't have daycare, so she watched him for three hours before I got home. We fed Xander and got in the car, hoping he would take a nap at least part of the way.
We stopped at Tracy's office to say goodbye, then we hit the open road.
To my surprise both Haley and Xander were soon asleep. I figured it wouldn't last too long and that we would be stopping in Watertown, but neither woke up till about 5 miles to Grandpa and Grandma Oey's house!
When we got there we hung out with Grandpa and Grandma for a while, then Haley and I headed to the lake with Dean and Grandpa since Theresa and Brenna were already there playing on the jetski. Grandma wanted some alone time with Xander, so she was happy.
Haley had a great time on the Jetski, watching while Theresa, Dean and Brenna took turns skiing. I took some pictures of that which are linked on the page.
When we got back it was time for the birthday meal.
Theresa had her birthday on the 26th (happy birthday) and Brenna's is on the 30th (happy early birthday) and since Haley's is on August 6th, we had walking tacos in their honor. We also had a Dairy Queen ice cream cake to celebrate.
Great Grandpa and Grandma Remund came up to celebrate too, which was nice, and everyone had a great time with Xander. It was the first time Dean got to see Xander, so that was cool too. Now it's just Uncle Isreal that hasn't had a chance to see him.
After supper Theresa and Brenna headed back to the lake, so Grandpa and Grandma gave Haley her birthday present a bit early. Haley didn't realize Xander was wearing her birthday present right away, but was very happy with her new Marshall Tiger jacket which will come in handy this fall.
Xander slept well, though he did get up nice and early like usual.
We hung out on Saturday morning before eating some sweet potatoes and heading out once again.
I didn't think I would be lucky enough to have him sleep again, so imagine my shock when he slept the entire way home again! Haley also got a nice nap in.
All of us were happy to see Tracy when we got home after a nice trip.
