We Are Family...

David and I had a really fun weekend this last weekend. We went out to Eastern Oregon on Saturday, Pendleton to be exact, to visit David's Grandma and Grandpa Mosby. It's always enjoyable to visit with them. We went with David's parents, little sister, his brother and family. I am proud to say that I made it the whole way (3 1/2 hours) without stopping to go to the bathroom. Miraculous I know. We had lunch with The Mosby's and sat around and enjoyed their company. Grandpa Mosby recently got one of those little electric scooters. Let me just tell you, those things can FLY! He let me take out for a spin in front of the house and I had a good time with it. I almost killed myself a few times, but I am still alive today. Then David got on it, and he's a so funny. I REALLY wish that we had out camera because there were some interesting photos that could have been taken. I have vowed that from now on I am going to take my camera EVERYWHERE so as not to miss out on these time. Anyway, we loved the few hours that we spent in Pendleton.
Now on to the main reason for the trip to Eastern Oregon, Grandma Mize got re-married. Actually this happened in Eastern Washington, in Walla Walla (yes, I love saying I have family in Walla Walla, WA) Grandpa Mize passed away while David was on his mission. Since then Grandma has been alone. She has family around, but hadn't had any companionship. Somewhere along the line she met Ernie and has been so giddy since. So this last weekend they got married and almost all of her family was there for it. I can't lie, it was kind of weird that they were getting married. Grandma is 84 years old and Ernie is 91. Yes, that's right 84 and 91. I always wondered why people who were at such an age in life would get married, however once I saw them together I could see why they wanted to be together. And they are so happy.
It was SO much fun to be with David's Dad's side of the family. David and I were the only ones who stayed the night in Walla Walla because we were taking Grandma's sister to the airport the next day. So we went to dinner with all of the family that was in town for the wedding (minus David's family, they had to make the trek home), and we had SO much fun. I got to know a lot of people that I had never met before, as well as build relationships with people I had only met once or twice. The family REALLY reminded me of my family in how loud they were and how they had no problems teasing each other. It was SO much fun. We stayed with David's Uncle Steve and Aunt Becky. After dinner we played cards with them and had so much fun! I almost won until the last round when Uncle Steve caught me with 200 points. Yeah, all my smack talk went to pot at that point! :)
Sunday we drove home with Grandma's sister, and really enjoyed her company. We had an awesome weekend and can't wait to go out and see everyone again soon. We told Grandma that we will hopefully make it out there around Christmas time after Tucker is born. Hopefully the weather will permit! :)
