A “Great” Day

 - by Brittany

After church on Sunday, Oct. 16th, we headed to Carson City to visit with the rest of the family.  Unfortunately, I did not get out my camera. We did get to visit with Bepe’ and Paka (Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma McCulley), along with Aunt Sharon, Aunt Rhonda, Uncle Ben, Jeanae, Uncle Bill, his wife and daughter. It was a party. I didn’t see Jameson till we went to leave. Ella was attached on the other hand, but did ham it up enough for everyone to see how cute she really is. After a few hours of enjoying our visit, we headed back to Sacramento for the remainder of our trip.

And keep the twins happy

We got home Saturday afternoon. Kevin called in a drunk driver on the way home. We followed her for a long time, and even passed a cop who had his radar gun out. But no one ever stopped her, so we decided to get away from her. (We followed her for about an hour.)

Later that evening, Kevin picked my brother, Weston, up from the airport. he came up to help drive Christina back. Sunday morning, they got up and out of here by 6 am. Jameson was a little confused where everyone was when he woke up. After spending over a month with friends and cousins, he didn’t really know what to do with himself. It was time to finally get back into our routines, and get our lives back to normal.

New pets

Thursday, May 26th, the sun actually came back out. We hadn’t seen it in a few days. While the other kids were napping , the two older boys got to play outside. Our grass grew like crazy while we were gone, and the boys loved to play in the jungle out back. They added their dinosaurs to the jungle, and then had to feed them.

Kayden and Jameson were being real men as hunters and gatherers. By the way, I got in trouble for taking this pictures and getting too close to the animals. It was not ok that I wanted to take pictures, and Jameson made that clear.

We’ve lost control

Wednesday, May 25th, we had some visitors. Jayci, my cousin, was visiting her parents on their way to California. They are in the process of moving from Alaska , and lucky for us, we were a stop on their way to their new destination. Also, lucky for us, they had reasons to come to our side of town, so Christina and I didn’t have to pack up the 5 kids. The kids ran and played, or more like, our kids ran and played while Jayci’s sat so nice and quiet. Mont, I think, was a little overwhelmed by the boys. We finally got him out of his shell when we showed him the box of cars. Then he was in heaven. Miss Emmy slept through all the noise, until she got hungry. Then she decided to grace us with her beautiful eyes. At 7 weeks she was just starting to fit 0-3 month clothes= she’s tiny. She was still smaller at 7 weeks then my kids were when they were born. I got to love on her once Ella went to take a nap. (Ella gets jealous.) Before they headed back home, we tried to take a picture. This was the first time all 7 of the “Judd great-grandchildren” have been together. And this was as good as we got.

Back- Jayci (holding Emmy- 7 weeks), Kayden- 5 (Christina’s), Brittany, Ella- 14 months (Brittany’s), Jameson- 3.5 (Brittany’s)

Front- Mont-21 months (Jayci’s), Jenna-15 months (Christina’s), Drew- 2 (Christina’s), Christina

At least most everyone is looking. I especially love my aunt’s feet in the picture. I didn’t crop them out, because I love them too much. Just shows what she’ll do to help us out. All the kids were a little mad that they had to stop playing in order to take a picture. We literally had to “catch” a few of them as they tried to run by. In case you miss Mr. Mont’s face, here is the other picture where some are actually smiling, but not all are looking.

I’m so glad we got to visit with them, and they fought the traffic to get here and home. Who would have thought the place we all got together would be at my house in Washington?
