Airplane + Touchdown = Football

Brodes and I are now in Idaho. Yesterday was the first day that we got any significant amount of packing done. That is why I am here if I never mentioned it. My mom is moving and needed help packing. Her husband is driving semi-truck and can't be home to help her. My grandparents are here but my poor mom has to move by the end of this month and her husband is delayed. At this point they are not sure if he is going to get home until the 31st and my mom doesn't have anyone to help her move. :( I feel awful for her and am praying that they will be able to get out in time. Otherwise they have to pay next months rent and she doesn't have the money for the next months rent because she spent extra money moving. 

Anyway I wanted to tell you about the first part of our trip. It was actually really fun traveling with Brody and my mom. If I hadn't already thought that Brody was the greatest kid ever he is even greater! He was a ROCK STAR traveler. :) When we left Minneapolis Brodes didn't cry he was excited. Loved the airplane. When we were taking off my mom and I clapped and said YEAH and Brody chimed in, threw his hands up in the air and yells YEAH!! It was pretty cute. 
He sat great in our laps during flight. We had a layover in Denver. As we were coming into Denver my mom tells Brody that the plane is going to touchdown... Brody once again threw his hands in the air but this time yells "Football"!! It was hilarious. He was excited to be in the airport terminal because he got to run around. He was in striped orange and blue footy pj's and was running up and down the terminal squealing and saying hi to everyone. He got a lot of attention. Back on the plane he sat in grandma's lap while we took off, looking out the window he waved and said bye bye during take off. My baby didn't fall asleep until the last 20 minutes of the flight. So basically he was up until midnight. He didn't complain or cry once. OF course once we landed he woke up by the time we got to my mom's house and got Brody to bed it was 2am minneapolis time. Poor baby. He was awesome though. I was a proud mommy. 

Since we got here we have been running errands and packing. Today we are going to Mountain Home Idaho. My mom is moving there. We have to move some stuff out there and then she has to rent storage. It's going to be a busy day. I miss you all. I will write more soon.
