Grandma Bonnie recently fell and broke her arm. She just had surgery the other day and is doing pretty well. She is a pretty tough lady! She kept saying, "I'm fine, I'm fine." We sure love her and are glad she got to meet Luke!
Grandma's house is full of wonderful "treasures" for little boys. Mark found this pipe thing. At one point Estefan had one too and they were sword fighting.. thank goodness no one got their eye's poked out! (I'm such a mom.)
There is also this old buckin' horse that Dustin remembers playing on when he was a kid.
I think this is the only horse Estefan will ride!
After our visit with Grandma Bonnie we headed down the mountain to Cedar.
We stopped in Red Canyon for a photo opp!
The sunset was beautiful over Cedar mountain!
Around 7 we got to our hotel room. The kids were SOOOO excited to stay in a hotel. Dustin got us some Pizza Hut and after baths we watched Matilda and went to bed.
During the night Dustin and I awoke to the cough.. you know the cough that proceeds puke. Yeah, that one. Allie must've eaten way too much pizza cuz she puked her little brains out. After we got her cleaned up and beded down again.. I swear as soon as I got to sleep I felt a little "tap, tap, tap" on my shoulder.. "
Mommy Lauren, I'm wet".. "
Did you pee the bed?".. "
No, I'm just wet." Well the wet wasn't water.. Estefan had had an accident. So I got up to help him get changed and beded down again.
Insert a 2AM feeding
.. "tap, tap, tap".. "
Mommy Lauren..I'm wet again." Rinse and repeat...
But the sweetest thing, that I think helped me get through the night was Allie's prayer. After cleaning up various bodily fluids and returning to bed Allie started talking in her sleep. At first she scared the crap out of me (not literally, thank goodness) because she was talking so loudly. But then I realized she was praying.. in her sleep! It went something like this.. "
Heavenly Father, Please bless us to feel better and get some sleep. And bless the food, we're thankful for it. Name of Jesus Christ Amen." AMEN sista! Then we all fell asleep.
Oh did I mention the time changed during the night. We had to get up and eat the only til 9AM complimentary breakfast before 11AM church.. 9AM Utah time plus the time change was 7AM Nevada time.. ACK! Well we made it to breakfast and I stood in line for a half hour to make waffles. Tourists are pretty feisty when they haven't eaten!
Then we made it to church, early I might add, and got to be there for this little guy's blessing. Dustin stood in the circle and Jayson did a great job and gave a beautiful blessing.
After Sacrament meeting we had a lovely lunch with the Whetman's and headed home.. were we all fell asleep at 7PM.
THE END
P.S. We made it through the time change. I think. Now we're all jazzed for another big weekend! My brother is getting married tomorrow!!
P.S.S.
Jack and Gaye only have 32 days left until they are home from their mission!!
