.: Fianlly a New Hip! : )

Well, a couple of days before Ryan and April took off, my Mom finally got her second hip replaced. She wasn't looking forward to the surgery, but we were all so ready for her to be done with it! It's been bugging her for a long time, so it came at a good timing. She did great! She had the surgery on Thursday last week, and she went home on Monday! I just went over to Moses Lake on Wednesday, and she is doing so great! This surgery went a lot easier then her last one, so hopefully her recovery time will be shorter. Anyways, we are so proud of her and strength. Conner is just starting to crawl, so he is definently ready for his Grandma to chase him around! : ) My Mom got her surgery done in Spokane, and Ryan and April were flying out of Spokane on Saturday. Jess and I told Ryan and April that we would love to give them a ride to the airport. It worked out good because then we got to go to the hospital and keep my mom company. We went over to Spokane on Friday in Jess' truck. It was snug, but fun. I sat in the back in between both the boys, and Jess, Ryan, and April sat up front. It was a fun ride that we'll probably take about years down the rode! : ) We stayed the night at a hotel, and Jess got up early Saturday morning to take them to the airport. It was so sad to see them go, but exciting at the same time! It will be nice for them that Ryan's getting started with Medical School, but fun too since they are on a tropical island out of the country. We sure do miss them tons, but we are really looking forward to going and visiting them! : )

Conner looking at me wondering what was going on!

Emmet was trying to go to sleep! Cute little guy!

Jess, Ryan, and April chatting away! It was too funny to be sitting behind them, and seeing them all cozy in the front! Yes, Ryan and Jess had some funny jokes going on all day about sitting by each other! : )

Conner and Emmet are getting so fun with each other! That's another thing that I am way sad about, because since we lived so close to them, we hung out a lot their last couple of days in the states. Conner and Emmet would have had so much fun hanging out by the pool with each other. Well, their planning on moving back this direction when Ryan's done with his residency, so they'll have to become best buds then! We are looking forward to it! : ) I love this picture that we took of them at the hospital when we were visiting my mom.
