A Break?!

     Greg and I had the privilege of attending the baby blessing for this darling little guy, Logan. He's my cousins little boy and just about the cutest baby EVER! We felt honored to be invited and I was so happy to finally meet this cute baby in person!

      Then we rented this ⇣ for our four day trip to St. George. Greg called it the 'hunter orange special'. Initially we were going to get a little bigger crossover that wasn't bright orange and had a giant sunroof, which I was especially excited for but unfortunately the rental car employee found a chip in the windshield when she was taking it through the car wash and was unable to rent it to us! I was so bummed!! This orange car was fun to drive but not nearly as nice as the other car but it was still in the same category we paid for so we didn't get the option to upgrade.

 At least it wasn't hard to find in the parking lot! ha ha

     While we were away several kids came down with colds and apparently fell asleep in random places. Charlie not only napped on the kitchen floor with the puppy but also laid down next to her preschool teacher during reading time and promptly fell asleep. (Either she's sick or has very messed up sleeping patterns!)

    Meanwhile, Greg and I were quite enjoying ourselves in sunny St. George. Yummy dinners out and several yummy desserts, not the least of which was a banana split from DQ! We also went to the movies, the St. George Temple, (for the first time) had a great visit with our long time friends; the Cox's, went clay pigeon shooting and just enjoyed a few days away from reality.

     They actually asked us to be the witness couple at the temple session we attended. After getting a look at the temple patrons I realized we were about the only option because everyone else in attendance would have most likely broken a hip trying to kneel! Ha ha! I don't think there was anyone under the age of 60 aside from us in the whole temple.

    Well we made it back home safely. The kids are all still alive and relatively happy but not necessarily healthy but they'll be fine. We're not looking forward to the promised snowstorm for tomorrow but we're not yet secure with our water supply for the spring and summer so I guess we'll take it. It sure was nice getting away for a few days but I'll be paying for it for the next 24 hours while I try to catch up on all the laundry that's piled up! Thank goodness laundry is a chore I don't mind!
