Hello, California!!

This past week we all headed over to California to visit Ben's entire family! We flew out last Friday morning and discovered that our daughter is a major flirt and sleeps during all the flights! This was a huge relief for me, I was so nervous that she would scream and everyone would hate us! So many people commented on how good she was! She won the crowds over with her wave! While we were there we stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Rundle. They had all of Ben's family over for a get together and we got to meet everyone who put up with Ben in his younger days!
The following are pictures of Ben's family throughout the week. I will post pictures of our trip to San Diego next!
Love - Ben, Kori & Amelia



Ben feeding Amelia at his Aunt Debbie and Uncle Al's house. We stayed there the night before we left for the airport!

Amelia LOVED their dog, Pugsley!

Everyone was so surprised at how much he liked Amelia!



Hello!


He did hide under the table every now and then to escape her.
She loved when he would come up and sniff her!
Uncle David walking Amelia around.
Aunt Debbie playing pat a cake with her!
Ben's cousin, Elizabeth came over after her class was over. She graduates from college this June.

Uncle David helping Amelia with her snack!

Same picture!
Amelia had to have a bath after our Mother's Day supper. She pooped up the back at the restaurant. I really need to remember to pack extra clothes for this child!

I love my Daddy and I love my bath!

Grandma gave her mo hawk after she swam in the baby pool with her!
She was fascinated with Uncle David's shoe strings! Whenever he was around she went for them!
Aunt Debby and Amelia!
Uncle Al and Grandpa!

Grandma's best friend from school and Ben's godmother, Missy, came from Oregon to see her! She loved her necklace!

Of course everyone would love Amelia --- what isn't there to love? (Well, maybe the poop up her back!!) She must be related to her cousin Henry!! I'm wondering if she got a little tan while she was in California? Great pictures!!! Thanks for posting and can't wait to see your San Diego pictures!

That poor dog! Too darn funny! At least she's only following him around and not touching him all the time!

She's too cute, and it looks like she had fun winning everyone's attention!

Can't wait to see more!

Glad you guys made it home ok. I just want to tell you that after you left, the wind stopped, for like the first time in two months!!
Then the temp went up to 97-98 degrees. But alas I have also spent almost two months trying to get my pool chemicals just right and I finally got them perfect. Water temp is only 74 but it sure felt good.I sure do miss Amelia. Will you send her back please!!!
Later gater-Grandma Rundle

Looks like Amelia could be a Cali girl.
Here I was missing her updates and you guys are traipsing across the country, how fun! Do you have any plans to traipse to MN, so I can finally meet Amelia and give her a squeeze? I'm not quite as important as grandparents but.... :) lol!
Love Alissa
