Spring Break

I am finally going to get around to posting about our spring, or should I say winter, break. I took the kids down to Lehi on Tuesday and met a friend for lunch at Chile's. Of course after sitting in the car for a few hours, they were not about to sit nice and quite while I caught up with an old friend. After fighting them for an hour, we decided to finish up and leave. Beau of course decided he was ready to leave sooner than us, and ran out of the restaurant. He was sitting on a bench just outside the door, so we got our stuff together and went out to join him. When we got out, he was gone! I started calling for him and searching the parking lot. He was no where. By this time, a nice lady and her daughter stopped to help and asked if I would like to call the police. This made me start to freak out. I soon noticed a girl coming out of the "take out" door and knew that Beau had to have gotten curious and went in. He had gone in the door and back through the restaurant looking for me. I was so relieved to finally find him and have him in my arms. Not the best way to start off our little trip.

The next day I took Bailey to Primary Children's for a sedated MRI and EEG. The tests went well, but she had a hard time coming out of sedation. She was pretty groggy the rest of the day, and got sick. That night she still couldn't eat anything and I was a bit worried. But she woke up hungry the next day and was able to eat a little breakfast.

On Thursday I took the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium. Beau loved everything about the aquarium, and stayed right by mom the whole time. I got Bailey out of the stroller to run and climb with Beau, but she still didn't feel well, so she took my hand and lead me back to the stroller. The aquarium was a little small, but we had a great time. That afternoon I was able to visit with my friends I taught school with. Rebecca brought her cute kids. Her little girl is Beau's age, they had so much fun playing, she did not want to go home.

Friday Clay drove down with his parents and we met him at his brother's house (Chad). The guys spent the day cutting down a huge pine tree. The kids had a great time playing. Beau and Alyssa play so well together and Bailey loves to ride her Thomas the Train. That night we went to dinner with some friends from Clay's mission. We haven't seen them since we got engaged nine months ago. We had such a good time visiting and my kids were actually really well behaved.

Saturday was little Claire's birthday, so after running all our errands, we went back to Chad's house for a party. I wish we lived a little closer - the cousins play so well together and have such a great time. I also got a great craft idea from Jamie. I had to take a picture so I could come home and make my own.

Maybe putting this up in my house will hurry things along :)

Sunday we just packed up and listened to conference on the way home. We had such a nice time, but it is always great to get home.
