My 6th State!

Back on the road again. I think I'm starting to mold to my carseat. Now it seems like we're headed West, back towards Portland. We drove on all kinds of back roads... some of them don't even seem to have names. Yoder gave mom and dad some pretty interesting directions - kind of like "turn right at the second, no... maybe it's the third road, once you pass through Maybell, Colorado... you'll be in Wyoming in no time." Anyway, the road in this picture is one of my favorites - it's the last 30 miles before we got to the Wyoming border. I'm glad we are on this road trip.... I'm getting to see the whole West. Wyoming is my 6th state: Oregon, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Utah... and now Wyoming!

Happy Mother's Day

We spent my mom's first Mother's Day in Colorado, at my grandparents' house in Basalt. My mom just loves it when I actually sit still on her lap. It doesn't happen very often, because most of the time, I love to squirm around or try to stand up - basically, I pretty much never sit still. So, since today is Mother's Day, I figured I'd hang out with her for a few minutes on her lap. She loved it - and look at that big glass of wine too! And yes, we really did need those jackets, blankets, and hats, even though it's the middle of May... as a matter of fact, it snowed the next morning!

Where am I? And how did HE get here?

Last night, mom and dad put me in my car seat and started driving. Not so unusual... but the next thing I knew, I woke up and discovered that we're definitely not in Portland anymore! The first thing I remember is having breakfast at a place called Denny's, somewhere in the middle of Utah. I felt a little out of sorts until mom pulled out my best friend the Ugly Doll.... as you can see, I was surprised that he was even there, because I thought he lived in Portland!! Still don't know how he got here.... Mom and Dad told me that we are on our way to Colorado. They looked REALLY tired, by the way.... I think they stayed up all night driving.
