baby w

friday morning began my adventure back to our college town. i decided to grab breakfast on the way to the airport to pick up stac. mcd's was along the way. and i have wanted to try the one dollar breakfast burritos. i also decided i would try one of their much advertised coffees (including my own endorsement with my handwriting used on a print ad). i had tried a hot, vanilla latte this past winter. and it was way too sweet. so i decided on an iced mocha. again. i felt like i was drinking sugar water. there was no coffee in that thing. highly dont recommend the specialty drinks. so on my sugar high. i raced to the airport with enough time to park. and greet her at the gate. this is something i dont always calculate enough time for. but, when i fly. i know i always love the feeling when you are walking off the plane. of seeing that familiar. smiley face. to greet you.

we loaded up. swung by la pad. as i forgot my present for baby ryan. and we were off. to the land of cheap gas. inexpensive cuisine. and a weekend of baby smells. time flew by. chatting for the 3 hours. as well as there have been major improvements made to the highway. so i think the time has been cut down by atleast 30 mins. if not more. we strolled thru town. slowing down to take pictures of our old college houses. that look even more suspect from the outside. which i can't even imagine what they are like inside. and made our way to the winsteads house.

it was a delightful weekend. stac and i had to fight over who got to hold baby ryan. we got to pick out all his outfit changes. including the cutest space invaders pjs. we dined on springfield style cashew chicken. well some of us. i strayed and ended up with dark cat meat and broccoli. the weekend was also spent playing guitar hero on the largest tv. it was more like a movie screen. i am now hooked. and thinking i might need one for my wii. i also bonded with little rowdy winstead. the big doggie brother. we snuggled. and i took him on walks. and lots of petting. it was so good to see lowa. j-dub and baby ryan. cant wait to see him again. when he doubles in size. thank you winsteads for sharing your weekend with the two crazy aunties.
