This past week, I hit the road, just me and four kids, and drove to Illinois to visit my folks. Opa and Oma wanted to see Danny so I went the whole way by myself. I left Hyrum, Emma, and Porter there for the next three weeks. Honestly, I have no idea what on earth I am going to do with myself over these next few weeks. The house is just so quite, it's disconserting. Anyway, while there the kids had fun, and I know they still are. I only got a couple of pictures of them playing in the water in the backyard because the batteries died on my camera.
Emma getting Oma to fix her goggles for her, or as she calls them, her "gobbles."
Hyrum running away from Uncle Keith spraying him with the hose.
Dan wasn't too sure what to think.
Hyrum being silly and Porter trying to dodge the spray.
He thought those goggles were freaking awesome.
Emma posing.
Dan in his goggles. He loved those suckers, was trying to put them on all the time we were there and then would get really angry because they just wouldn't go on!!!
Porter loosing his britches.
Dan just running around, having fun.
Well, we left brothers and sister behind, and Dan and mom made the trek back to Utah on our own. These two pictures of him sleeping were just too cute. Top one with him leaning on his arm.
And of course, falling asleep while sucking on his drink. He traveled GREAT!! He was so good and mom was so proud. I am so totally tanked though. Slept from like 8 last night until 7 this morning and still had to leave church an hour early because I was so tired, I hurt. Took a great nap and am doing alot better now, but I'm not too certain how much I am going to feel like helping with the drive up to Washington. Oh well, hopefully a week off will help. Now, all I have to do is clean the whole house. . . I wonder if Dan will actually let me do that???
