Taxing or Relaxing?


ben went on his annual boy vacation last week to galveston island, texas. me and the kids headed to lisa's. we had fun playing and visiting and seeing my cousin and his family. he is living down there right now getting therapy. back in november he had a flu shot that left him paralyzed from his waist down. he is making good progress, but it is slow. we only had a melt down one day. i watched all six kids so that eldon and lisa could go to the temple. i loaded them up to meet up in ogden. bentley was soo tired and threw a huge fit beforehand (still no excuse). bridon peed his pants in downeast home. we ate at rubio's and came straight home to push the reset button for the next day. lisa's birthday was monday. we headed up to mom and dad's after church and spent the nite then enjoyed the day together. mom took the day off and we took the kids bowling. i treated lisa to a pedicure while mom watched all the kids and then mom even let us get in a 30 minute nap before hitting ice cream at gossner's and back on the road to home. i am ready to stay put for awhile!!! ben seemed to have a fun and relaxing trip....mine, well, you decide?! :)

You are such a trooper Maria! We will see once we get to Idaho, if I am brave enough to truck the kids anywhere by myself.

I think the boys should blog about their trip. I am sure we would find things out we don't really want to know :)
