To the Ohio's

This last week I was able take a get-a-way/dental trip to Cleveland. I was able to be Bryan's patient for his western-boards. It was a really fun trip. I left Tuesday hoping that my kids would be good for their grandma and dad. When I heard later that day that they were doing great with Grandma I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. It was fun to see Bryan as Doctor Bryan - he will definately be a great Dentist! It was really fun to be able to play with Zach, Austin, and Avery and see their personalities. We played a lot of pretends - fighting bad guys, going to the restaurant, playing scientist in the dirt. Some of my favorite themes were: 1) While playing scientist outside in the dirt we discovered Indian clay. 2) Pretending the Dandelions were bad guys and shooting them with our water guns. Avery always seemed to get captured so I could save her. 3) my most favorite - I was eating breakfast at Red Robin with 2 cops and decided to rob it. Of course I was captured after a long fight and put in Jail. Luckily the cops on duty kept falling asleep and conveniently leaving their knife right by me to escape. Jail wasn't so bad since I was able to order anything from Red Robin that I desired while there. 4) fighting with their foam light sabers.

It was so fun to play such imaginative play - they are some smart energetic kids that I miss and had so much fun with. Thanks to Amy and Bryan for the free dental work :), the fresh pineapple and twizzlers, my new fashion trend, cds, and good memories. I really appreciate it.

By the time I got to the Airport on Sunday I was very anxious to see my kids - it's amazing how after not seeing them for a week they seem to change. How easily I forget all their cute details. I hope to never forget Whitney running to me and giving me the biggest hug ever at the airport - it still makes my heart melt just thinking about it!!

Amy and Avery were very generous and gave a bunch of Avery's old clothes to Whitney. She was excited about the clothes but was ecstatic about the "dance shoes" that she got. I was laughing so hard just watching her freak out over them. Travis had to get in on it too, so after climbing into the suitcase and checking everything out we put his new snow boots on him. It was definitely entertaining. Here is some footage. Thanks mom and husband for sacrificing your time this week to watch my kids - I am so grateful.
