Our weekend in Utah!

This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to spent the weekend with our family in Utah. What a thrill is was to see our kids and grandkids in Utah just before Christmas so I could feel like I spent the holidays with them too.

We had some pretty funny moments! The grandkids were so fun! First just seeing Ryder was a miracle in itself. He is getting so big, he's the cutest thing ever! He was cooing and so happy. We had fun just holding him and loving him.

We had some funny (not so funny at the time, but in hind sight they were) experiences this weekend. Sariah, was a little naughty this weekend. She was into everything, but she found candy in places that I'm not sure that Laura and Wayne knew was there. She opened Christmas presents that we not hers every time we turned around she was downstairs with either candy or a present. She was so funny! So, Saturday night Laura, Saundra and I went shopping. While we were gone we kept getting calls from the men (3 of them with 4 kids) that the kids were being naughty. Then we get this distress call that, Sariah had climbed up on the bathroom counter broke the door to the mirror and it went tumbling to the ground. Good thing nobody was in the bathroom with her or it would have been a hospital visit. Laura asked her what she was doing, she said getting the toothpaste for Aurellia. How could you get mad at that? She is just so cute.

On Saturday morning I woke up at 6, I really tried to stay in bed as long as I could, I knew that my kids wouldn't be up. So, I slip down to the kitchen and while walking past the living room I noticed that Sariah was up, so she came in the kitchen with me, I just held her in my arms and I thought maybe she went back to sleep, so I quietly said I love you so much, she said I love you too grandma. She is so darling. So, we had cereal together and talked. Sunday morning Michael and Sariah had breakfast with me, we talked and had so much fun. Michael is quite a conversationalist when given the opportunity. Then I heard Aurellia, I went in the room to pick her up and she was all smiles, she must get that from her mom because her dad was one grumpy boy when he woke up! I noticed that Michael and Aurellia were eating with their left hands. What a glorious day, someone just like me!
