St. George Cruisin

We decided to get out of the COLD INVERSION and escape for a little R&R!!! We were planning to go with some friends, but when they decided not to go...it didn't stop us we still wanted to go. So we packed up of Friday and left and made the 4 hour trek leaving about 2 and getting there just after 6. It was a lot different having to stop for potty breaks, drink/snacks, and the yucky mess of Shaylie's Blowout. Mylie didn't sleep even a little on the way down. She was sooo tired, but too excited to see her cuzzies. So we got there, grabbed some dinner and put the kids to bed and played games and the wii. Mylie was having a hard time going to bed. We anticipated her sleeping in the girls room in her big girl sleeping bag....WRONG. We took her binky away just 2 days prior to this....not a good idea. So I gave in and gave her the binky and she was out....in Kamri's crib.
*good thing is that since we got home, she never asked for the binky again*

Saturday was fun. We got up and went to feed the ducks. Mylie was loving it. I have deprived her long enough from feeding ducks and she was having so much fun just playing with her cousins and watching what they do. After, Chris and Nate were STUCK in front of the TV watching 2 full games of football. The kids played outside on bikes and things ALL day. So Mindy and I decided to go to the craft store and make a carseat cover. We picked out fabric, and Mindy went to town on the sewing. She is AMAZING! It turned out SUPER cute...I love it!


Sunday we were not going to come home, but due to the weather and storms we decided it was probably best. So we went to church and came home and ate some dinner and made some cotton candy with the new machine and then packed up to head home. Mylie threw a fit and didn't want to leave her cuzzies. We started driving at about 6:30 and the girls slept the entire way. I carried Mylie to her bed dreading what time she was going to wake up....and she slept all night. It was so much fun to stay with them and we had such a good time. Too bad it was so short. We will have to come again!
