So this morning we woke up and got ready to take off from my brothers to head back to Portland to see the rest of my family. It was the prettiest day out so far this week and i so wanted to just go to the beach and enjoy the sun. But we couldn't because we had to meet up with some of my family at Blue park in Portland for a picnic. Plus on our way there to stop in Mcminville to visit with Nick's sister in law Tiffany and his niece and nephew. Saying goodbye to my dad brother sister and sister in law was so hard for me. I tried to hold back my tears but as soon as i hugged my dad the tears started flowing. I couldn't control my emotions and I cried like a baby. We left Newport way later then we had planned so we weren't able to stay in Mcminville for very long. The drive was so beautiful, we stopped a few times to look at the Ocean and take some pictures.
The visit with TIff, Cam, Teegan, and some of the family was good. We visited for a while with everyone then went outside and played in the sun with all the kiddos. There was a little play area for the kids, the boys had a blast. Cameron loved playing with his cousins and wouldnt stand still. We tried to take some pictures all together but he wouldn't cooperate very well. Teegan on the other hand was all smiles and she actually let us love on her. It really bummed us out we couldn't stay to long but my aunt was already on her way to the park and we still had a hour in a half to drive. So we said our goodbyes and continued on our journey.
We got to Blue park at about 4pm, i was so anxious to see a few of my family members who i didnt get to see last week due to them all being sick with the flu. We met up with my aunt Mary, uncle Ted, Cousin Darek, his wife Kristi, baby Luke, my second cousin Makenzi and a couple of their friends. One of them is a professional photographer who wanted to take some pictures of the boys! She does amazing work and i was more then happy to let her take some of them. I didn't know how well they would do though because it aint easy to keep them still for very long. She ended up take at least 100 pictures or more of them. At first they were being difficult and it was a challenge to get them both to look and smile at the same time. I'm pretty positive though out of all the shots she took a few came out way cute. Not to mention there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We stayed at the park eating and visiting for at least 3 hours till the sun went down.
After we left the park we headed to the hospital about 20 minutes away to visit with my sister/cousin Brynda and baby Gibson who's fighting for his life. It was so hard to see him and not break down. But i had to keep strong for her and not cry. I pray he will make it through this tough time and have the life that we all had hoped for. I do have hope he will make a full recovery and believe everything happens for a reason. God knows how your life will play out and he knows when you're suppose to truly die. So with that i have faith in him and the life Gibson Lee will have!!!!!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH GIBSON LEE AND BRYNDA DAVIS! Everyone who reads this please pray for these two amazing strong people i love! Thanks!
It was a long day we were all very exhausted from the long drive. We still had to stop by my Aunt Kari's to say our goodbyes to my grandma Betty my Aunt and her boyfriend. The time was flying by and when we got their it was already 8pm. SO we couldnt stay long, my Grandma made all four of us food due to us not eating all day. IT was delicious i love when my grandma makes food. She also bought the boys a couple toys for the ride to California, something i didnt at all expect her to do! But she always seems to know exactly how to put a smile on my face and now the boys to ! :) I love my grandma a lot and hope we all get to see her again very soon! As soon as we left we headed to my cousin Darek's house to finish packing get some sleep and take off early tomorrow morning. It was a long day and im nervous about flying tomorrow, dont know what to expect.
