WHILE MOM'S AWAY...

     Actually this starts with Daddy being away.  He went to NY on a business trip for 4 days.  We missed him much.  But he had a good time and was able to see a Broadway play, eat well, and hit the Metro and Natural History museums while there.  However while he was away, mommy and the kids were glad to be home after a week of traveling.  We grabbed a slew of videos, some treats and food and snuggled up in a nice cool house with blankies and pillows surrounding us at all times.

I then dropped the kids off at Grandpa and Grammy Allen's house for a night so I could head out of town with my friends.  Todd wasn't getting home til the next day. 

Grammy & Gramps are always so great.  They took the kids with Aunt Heather and Jackson up to Ogden to ride on the train.  They just loved it.  I was also very grateful to them for tending the kids on their anniversary that day.  They are always thinking of others.  Even when it wouldn't be their first choice.  It was also Todd's birthday that day.  He wasn't flying in until 8 that night...so neither of them had much of a celebration.  We will have to do that this week. 

Todd picked up the kids and they had a great weekend while I was away.

He let them play outside and run errands with him all day on Saturday, then he took them up to the canyon with his family that night to roast hot dogs and hang out.

He even got the two kids up for church at 9am and went to hear about the ward splitting.  He took the kids to dinner at Grammy and Gramps cause Aunt Heather is still in town.  The said they had so much fun with all the cousins.  I got home that night and he had put little Lyssa's hair in two buns, the best he could.  My heart melted.  I love that man.
