Our weekend

So, this past weekend we decided (totally last minute) to take a quick trip to Michigan to see Chris' family and especially his grandmother.

It was an 'interesting' trip (to say the least) and I'm only saying that because our little Jay Connor had a few 'episodes' of (what we lovingly dub) "THE ANGER"

Anyway, it all started out okay...

Jay and I, right before leaving the house in the shwa, cool, calm, collected and hair still wet (mine...not his)
A well deserved rest at the first Michigan rest stop just over the border...my nerves were running away with me (as they always do) and we stopped for a little bathroom break and to stretch our legs...no, we are not pulling a Britney Spears by driving with Jay on our lap.

A few self portraits of the family...they didn't quite work out too well...but you get the drift:)
A self portrait of yours truly, doing what I do best...look silly
Jay happily plays with his book...

And then passes out.

After we got to our 'final destination', it was time to just relax with family and let Jay get his wiggles out. He was happy to play with Kenzie and Hailee and was just thrilled to see his Papa, Nana & Aunt Jaime.

The next day started out fine, he was in a decent mood, but he had been working on this awful stuffy nose and it was killing his appetite and making him kinda grumpy...(we took this pic just because we love the bib...that's all)
That evening, Jay had been running on very few naps (he refused to take any) and was just cranky. We tried our best to entertain him and then try to calm him down...
Jay with daddy
Jay and Hailee...
Hailee is such a sweetheart, she just LOVES her "hey boy" (cousin) and took every chance she could to kiss up on him and play with him.
This is Jay riding his 'pony'...all the other kids were doing it :)
Upside down time with daddy...I do NOT like this stuff, but Jay loves it.



TIRED Beastie
Okay, here's the best part of the whole weekend (ok, not the *best*, but definetly the most memorable and funny!)

Jay was taking a bath on Sunday evening and was almost done, when Hailee came into the bathroom. She was ready for her turn...but instead of getting Jay out, I suggested to Jaime that we just put her in with him and they could play...

Jay was not amused.

He started bawling...he was jealous and angry...so much so that he was just kicking a fit in his bathseat and we just had to take him out.

He was just so bothered that Hailee was in *HIS* tub...he wouldn't have it! Silly boy...but seriously now, I'm going to have to keep a tight rope on that jealousy thing. He had issues with Hailee sitting in Nana's lap and was furious when daddy picked Hailee up! Ugly little green monster!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay...so this is this morning (monday) . Jay and I had an awful night. He and I were awake with each other till about 4 am, when I crawled into where Chris was sleeping and *begged* him to take Jay... (sure enough as soon as Chris gets him...Jay falls asleep).

So, before we left on Monday morning, we took some pics of all the cousins together.

Jay had seemed to forgive Hailee for *intruding* on his bath and his Nana...(eyeroll)
I just simply love these pictures...Nana (Jo) took them on her camera and I had to swipe them. Jay looks simply goregous!

And of course, our weekend would not be complete without a few pics of Jay with his grandma!
Some of the four of us...

And of course Chris, Jay & I with grandma.
All in all, we had a great weekend...it was relaxing (except for the insanity of this morning and being exhausted all the way back to the shwa).
