My family decided to take a weekend down at the house in St. George this past weekend. It was so nice to have all the family together, especially since Austin and I will be moving soon, I've been wanting to get in some good quality time with both sides of our families.
Being as it was 108 degrees outside, I am pregnant, Becky is recovering from her ACL surgery, and Dad just finished running the Aaronic Priesthood and Action camp we were a pretty lazy group. But, oh was it wonderful :) We played games, swam quite a bit, watched movies, made good food, and laughed alot.
Really, the biggest goal of the whole trip was to get Daniel, our 13 month old nephew, to giggle and smile as much as possible. This kid is so expressive it's just so fun to get him going. The funniest success was in the pool Saturday night. Austin started squirting water into the air with his hands and this fascinated Daniel. His little blue eye got big and round, he puckered his mouth into a forever "ooooo" shape, straightened his whole body and sporadically clapped his hands as fast as he could. Jenn and Josh taught him some signs and clapping means "more" and "please" or Daniel, at least :) Ya...describing it doesn't do it justice, but we were all laughing straight for a good 15 minutes and not one of us had a camera. Baby's are so fun :)
Being around a little older babies has got Austin excited to have our baby come. It melts my heart when we are in the grocery store and we see a little one babbling in their mother's grocery cart and Austin leans down and whispers in my ear, "I can't wait!". He really is like a little boy waiting for Christmas to come! End of June, Love. All most there!
Oh Heidi. you make me laugh... sorry this should be commented on your last post. I am glad things are going well and that you were able to have fun with family! Random question, did your parents ever get a package from me? I sent it before I left, and I think I put your name on it instead of theirs.
