Being by myself is not something I get to do very often. With kids this age it means day and night I am on duty. Even getting a shower without a little one saying, "Mom! 5 minutes!" or "Mom! Carter has no pants on and is outside!" or "Mom! Tyler won't stop chasing me with his Light Saber!" you get the idea. It was awesome!
I flew out Thursday night and Suzanne picked me up at the airport. She was the only one who knew for sure I was flying in. I got to see her beautiful new house and play with her boys. Being the fun Aunt instead of the mean mom was such a fun break! Aisea loves food. A lot. So cute!
Back to the birthday, mom was surprised to see me and I had a great time hanging out with the adults and not chasing kids around the whole time. James and Amber were staying at my parent's so once the kids went to bed we got to hang out and philosophies the issues of the world, or at least debate the smaller things of life.

Congrats guys!**
We had a birthday get together with all the siblings at Suzanne's and had an amazing cake she had made. Happy birthday mom!
The next day was Conference Sunday. We headed up the hills to see some fall foilage and I am so glad we did. I had forgotten just how much I miss seeing ALL the leaves turn. We have trees that change here but not like that. WOW!

My nephew Enos had his 4th birthday. Did I mention Zan makes awesome cakes?!
I loved being there. I loved seeing my family. I loved getting the much needed time-off. I loved playing with the kids and talking with the adults. I loved coming home and seeing these cute faces again.

We surprised my dad for his 70th a few years ago. He v\cried like a baby to see all of his kids there but one. So glad you got to see everyone. sometimes you just have to spend the money it is well worth it. Hope all is well with your fam we are trying to hang in there. And i will post more I promise.
And I loved it too! Thanks to one and all for making it happen--especially Dee for sending Di and for Suzanne for making cake(s). Love to you ALL!
