St. George

Last weekend we packed up the car and the kids and took a little road trip to St. George for Jeff's friend's wedding. It was a smooth drive there with just a little rain. We spent Sat. doing a little shopping before getting ready for the wedding. We got to the wedding just in time for dinner and a little program. Unfortunately, it was right around Jeffrey's nap time so he was being a little stinker. Then Hannah started crying too so we basically had to pick up and move out of the room. Jeffrey spotted some other kids running around a big water fountain outside and started chasing after them. Jeff and I took turns chasing him around until I asked Jeff to make Hannah a bottle. Here I am, holding Hannah chasing Jeffrey on the grass around a water fountain in high heels. I kept warning him to stay away from the water. Well, what do you think happened next? Yep! He fell in the water...head under and everything. Luckily, I was right next to him and was able to grab his sweater and pull him out. It wasn't that deep, but it was still terrifying and it scared the heck out of him. So I'm sitting there holding Hannah and a sopping wet Jeffrey screaming for Jeff. When Jeff finally saw us he knew right away what happened. In the mean time, as he was making a bottle for Hannah it exploded, so he was already wet. He was trying to dry Jeffrey off and I grabbed the bottle he made and the liner fell out the bottom and all over the place, including me. Needless to say, we packed up and headed back to the hotel. Jeffrey fell asleep before we even left the parking lot. Jeff did end up going back to see his friend. Unfortunately, we thought we left our camera at home and did not capture any of these moments.

We did later find our camera and were able to capture these pics of Jeffrey playing with this cute little girl named Cozy at McDonalds on the way home. Wedding disaster aside, it was a fun little road trip. And we have a funny story to tell!

Wow Holly! No posts for awhile and them BAM you throw down a few at once. I love it!
I love your story about the wedding and all the chaos. I am so glad we are not the only ones who have that happen. Sometimes when it gets too chaotic, Abram and I just stop and stare at each other, exhausted and finally just bust up laughting. What can you do? ha ha
Sorry we missed the blessing. Her dress is fabulous! Did someone make it?
Hope to see you guys next week.

Jeffrey told me that he fell into some water and it scared him, but I hadn't heard the whole story from you or Jeff. That is too funny!!! Also, Chase and Jeffrey's cheese picture is too cute.

What an adventure!

I once pulled Severin out from a hot tub while holding Helene in my arms. I was very frazzled at the thought of what might have happened if i wasn't there at that moment. I still remember his face with the look of intense fright pleading to me from under the water... very scary.
