Hutch's Hostesses - With the Mostessesssess

Dear Oklahoma. I didn't know there were such wonderful people living there. 

I mean, ya, I had met my Aunt Sammie and Auntie Lauren before and they are pretty wonderful but who'd have known every person I was about to meet would care so much to want to hug all over me and shower me with love. I will say, it was HOT down there. I preferred to be naked as much as possible. 

Auntie Sammie - I love her.

I finally got to meet my cousin Benjamin.
Although he was at my birth, he was too little to come into the NICU.
Cousins for life, amigo.

Ashlyn, Meg and Conner loved on me a ton.
They let me stay at their beautiful home and have a party there.

Mommie's college friends Jen Jen and Steph.
They are absolutely as great as she said they were. 

This is Brent. He and I would talk shop quite a bit.
Thanks for saving me from all the chicks, Brent.

Momma's Bestie and my new friend Kadence. I think I am in love.

Uncle Chris decided to hold me for the first time.
I think Kadence was thinking, "Oh no you di-n't."

Mommy and Cousin Benjamin

Ben and Aunt Sammie

Even Grandma Cinda came down from Kansas.
She knows how to hold me JUST RIGHT!

I met Aunt Dana for the first time this trip along with my cousin Karsen.
They surprised me by coming to my party! She's pretty.

Chantel knew Mommy and Daddy before they were married and worked together.
They hadn't seen her in almost 6 years.

This is Denise. She has a perma-grin while holding me.
Everytime she smiled, I smiled back. That is a great feeling!

Daddy went to school with Amy. She brought her new husband!
Thank goodness too, we needed more dudes.

Momma kept calling Kendra, Kidd.
It was so confusing because she was an adult.
Geesh.

This is Amy again. I can't wait to see her in October.

Auntie Lauren - I couldn't get enough of her.

I think they had too much punch! That is not me in the middle.

KC was teaching me a thing or two, about a thing or two.
Maybe when I get older, we can go see Jimmy Buffett together.

I am pretty sure Aunt Sammie wanted to keep me forever. I love to snuggle her.

Just like Momma likes to snuggle Benjamin. 

I got to see Grandpa Kathol on the way home when we stopped in Kansas.
We were talking about motorcycles and the Chiefs.

This is my other cousin Kennedie. She just got her drivers license and that freaks me out. :)

All in all, I traveled well. It was good to be home but it gave me something to look forward to when I go back down to the southern pan.

Thank you all who were at my party, and who were there in spirit! I really had an outstanding time - I would even ride in my carseat for 8 more hours to do it all over again!

With love,
Hutch
