Home Sweet Home

Greg has been dying to get rid of Axton and I so that he can go golfing. Well he finally got his wish. Axton and I went to San Diego on Monday for the week to stay with the fam (Greg's). He did pretty good on the car ride there, although he didn't sleep as much as I would have liked. Trying to hand a kid treats and toys when you are driving is kind of tricky but we figured it out. He loved all of the attention that Grandma gave him even though it turned out to be a crazy week for everyone! He wasn't quite as sure about Grandpa but that was probably because he wasn't around as much. I never realized how busy you are when you are bishop, only 4 more years (maybe)!!

Kim and Josh (Greg's sister) have decided to move to Gilbert! We helped them get everything loaded in their U-haul and on their way here. They moved into the same apartment complex as us so we should be seeing a lot of them! More people to swap babysitting with! That makes 4 of the 6 kids living within a mile of each other. I am so glad that we moved here and have so much family near by. I don't think I could have handled Las Vegas by ourselves.

Greg flew in Thursday night to spend the weekend with us, since he is obsessed with San Diego. The best part was when Greg got in the car and Axton flipped out. You would have thought that Greg was a stranger by Axton's response. He screamed for a good couple of minutes and was trying so hard to get out of his carseat and in to my safe arms. It was so funny! We went to the beach (no camera) and Axton got to taste the wonderful salt water. He also managed to take a huge bite out of the seaweed while we weren't paying close enough attention.

The highlight of the week was getting to read books! Greg would strongly disagree with that though, he wasn't thrilled that I spent Axton's naptimes reading and ignoring him! Good thing he didn't get there until Thursday and I didn't have a house to keep clean. He hates it when I find a good book because I can't put it down and other things get ignored. My sister-in-law Katie convinced me to read the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyers, so I read 3 of the 4 books in about 4 days (that's almost 1800 pages). Now I have to wait for her to finish the 4th so I can steal it from her. I am dying to find out what happens and if Bella doesn't end up with Edward I'm throwing the book in the trash! Don't hate me if you don't like the book, truthfully I like just about anything since I am so reading deprived these days, and I never have been very picky about anything.


Sorry there are no pictures, we really didn't do anything to exciting but it was a great week to relax with the family. I am looking forward to our next get away at the end of the month. I tell ya what that is after it happens.
