Our lives the past couple of weeks

So, it has been a very busy and fun couple of weeks. I won't bore you with all the details just a few highlights and a slide show of all the pictures. My mom flew in from Utah on Thursday the 28th of Sept and the next morning the kids and I drove to San Diego with her. We stayed at my grandparents home for five days and had a wonderful time with them. My grandma planned a party for all the cousins, aunts, and uncles that live there. It was a lot of fun to see everyone and to have my kids get to know my cousins kids (their second cousins???) The had fun driving around in Granny and Grandpa's red converable and I had fun trying to keep Wyatt from jumping into the swimming pool. Wyatt also enjoyed his first toasted marshmellow. Monday we took the kids to the beach. Wyatt went crazy and loved every second of it. That night we went to my aunt Nancy's for dinner. Tuesday we drove back to Las Vegas. We stopped and visited with my mom's friend she met in the fourth grade that she hasn't seen in 30 years. Nate called while we were driving home to let me know that he was leaving town until Friday and would be gone before we got home. (He had been in Idaho for work while we were in San Diego.) I was sad we were going to miss him again, but Wednesday after taking my mom to the airport we drove up to St. George, UT where Nate was working. We stayed up there with him until Friday. I took the kids to a wildlife museum and a dinosaur museum that didn't have any dinosaurs! It just had impressions of dinosaur footprints that were found in the area. We also spent some time at the St. George Temple's visitor's center. They had some really need exhibits- if you haven't been and have the chance you should go. Since we got home Friday I have been trying to relax and rest up from all the traveling but Mara and Wyatt don't like to rest. Wyatt is sick, but still has more energy than I know what to do with. We let the kids paint some pumpkins yesterday. They can't wait for Halloween. I spent the day today making and canning salsa- I hope it turns out. Well, that is about it. We had a wonderful time on our trips- Thanks Mom, Granny, Grandpa Don, Nate, Aunt Nancy and everyone else who helped to give us so many good memories of the last couple of weeks.
