Cousin Time

Mylissa and Rob finally went on a vacation together.  They went on a Caribbean cruise with some friends.  We were supposed to take their kids the first weekend but their kids got really sick (RSV).  So sweet Marilyn kept the kids and took care of them.  (Mom and Dad were still on their trip.)  When Mom and Dad came home they got really sick too so Marilyn saved the week and took care of them.  Luckily by the second weekend, the kids were better so they came down and stayed the weekend with us.  Saturday I took the kids to the movie. Shan and Rob stayed home to work on their basement. Matt stayed home with Tanner because he would have been a disaster during the movie.  We went to see the movie "Padington."  It was a really cute movie.   Towards the end of the movie, it had a scary scene.  Caleb was sitting next to me and I looked over and he was crying.  He was worried Padington was going to die.  I quickly reassured him and had him sit on my lap.  Luckily the scary scene didn't last long and the movie ended happy.  Everyone laughed a lot and had a good time.

The kids were playing in the basement when Bridger came up and told me he was a Jedi.  Then he said "Mom, take a picture of me!"  I love the robe and the two light sabers.  The kids have been looking forward to this sleepover.  So we put all the kids in the front room, even Caleb.  It was a late night but eventually everyone went to sleep.  Bridger and Caleb have developed a very sweet friendship.  Caleb wants to do everything Bridger does.  Bridger likes having a buddy to play super heroes with.

Sunday morning, the kids played a bunch of games together.  Twister was their favorite game to play.

Aliyah even slept over.  But Shan came and got her before their church at 10:00.  Shan was very impressed that I curled her hair and made her look very cute for church.  I was very impressed that we made it to church.  All the partying caught up to Caleb and he crashed during sacrament meeting and feel asleep for most of it.  We skipped out after sacrament meeting and headed home.  Mylissa came down for dinner and picked up her kids.  They've had such a fun time playing together.
