Weekend in St. George

We went to St. George for the weekend to visit Marshall's sister Miranda and her family and also to celebrate my birthday. We got to St. George Thursday night. Marshall took me to dinner and to see Brian Regan at The Tuacahn that night. Thanks Miranda for watching James!

Brian Regan was hilarious and I laughed the whole time. The opening act for Brian was Kermit Adeo. He was really funny too. I totally could relate to all the parenting jokes and at one point Kermit said, "It's great being a parent. I feel so proud to have a one year old boy, not only because he's one year old but because I can now say I've kept another human being alive for ONE WHOLE YEAR!" I feel that way with James sometimes. He's been sick a lot over the last couple of months, he gets a lot of bumps and bruises but he's tough and still kicking.

James had a cold last week but was starting to feel better when we left to St. George. Little did we know he had passed his germs on to us. Friday morning Marshall woke up feeling really yucky and I got pink eye! I've never had pink eye before and it was miserable. We didn't let our ailments stop us from enjoying our trip. We went hiking in Zion's with Miranda, Eric, Gavin and Maya. Miranda is 7 months pregnant so Eric and Gavin hung back with her while the rest of us went for a hike. James rode in the hiking pack with Marshall. He loved it and he could see a lot.

Maya was a good hiker and kept up with us.

Saturday we went swimming. It was a beautiful day. My eye was already feeling better and Marshall just took it easy. We were entertained by Maya and Gavin.

Sunday we went to church with Miranda and then left to drive home. It was really weird celebrating Mother's Day without either of our Mom's since they are both serving missions. Now that I'm a mom I definitely appreciate my mom more than ever. I hope all of the Mom's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Monday morning Marshall went into see the doctor because he felt worse and had a fever. We found out he has a sinus infection. I'm amazed how tough he was the whole weekend and willing to still have fun even though he wasn't feeling well. He's one tough cookie! Thanks Sweetie for the fun weekend!
