Weekend Get Away

Landon and I... and the boys were able to get away for the weekend. No DJ jobs, no weddings, no work around the house (however, it really needs it)we were able to get away. Are final destination was St. George. However, getting there was a joke. Landon had to drive some Artificial Grass to Las Vegas and drop it off. So we were able to drive his boss' Tahoe which was totally decked out with leather seats, sun roof (my favorite) and even DVD screens in the back of the head rests for the boys. It was nice...wish it was mine. Nevertheless we had to tow four huge rolls of A.G. which slowed us down. So Landon and I thought that if we left around 7:00pm we would get to Vegas around midnight. Perfect...so we thought. Well we didn't leave till 9:20pm. We got through the pass OK with the trailer and we were on way. However, when you see the red and blue lights flashing behind you, you s**t your pants. Especially when your husband just got hired to a police department and he hasn't even started yet. Try explaining that one to the Chief. Not only that, I had climbed into the back seat, not wearing my belt, because Shane was crying and wouldn't stop. But to our dismay it was because the trailer light was broken. Boy did we need to change our pants after that. The police suggested that we pull over to the next off ramp and try to fix it. So we did for about an hour. Then the thought came to me, where are we? We haven't even passed the outlets in Barstow and by that time it was midnight.
So we had decided to stop at a 24hr service stop for trucks at Lenwood ( the outlets in Barstow). Yeah we were there another two hours. But was it fixed?...NO!! By that time Shane was still awake and I really wanted to just leave. So we did. We had arrived in Las Vegas at 5:20am. So from 9:20pm to 5:20am on Thursday night we were driving. We were so tired. But both boys were happy and very much awake. We had to drop off the turf by 8:00am, so we sat in a motel parking lot and let the boys watch movies while Landon and I slept... if you call that sleep.
After we dropped the turf off we just went straight to St. George. I love St. George, it is so beautiful there. Wyatt loved playing with his cousins there. They have a pool, spa, scooters, and a dog, so everything that will keep a two year busy for hours....I loved it. It was so nice and relaxing. Landon and I just did nothing there. Expect to go see his grandma....which was the main reason for going. She hasn't been doing so well, so we wanted to go up and see her.

I love these pictures. Shane was not afraid of Maddy (the dog). He had his fingers all in her mouth and he loved it. Poor Maddy

As mentioned Wyatt loved swimming in their pool. But in this picture he looks like a little boy, not a toddler. He is totally losing his baby face. I'm sad...but he is still so cute

We were trying to teach Wyatt how to ride the skateboard on his stomach, but he wasn't getting it. So I started to show him by me getting on the skateboard. He saw that and ran and jumped on my back and thought it was some kind of ride. And yes I look so terrible. That is what I look like when I haven't slept in 24hr plus and no shower....yeahhh sexy.This is sweet Grandma Joyce. I wanted to take a few photos of her and our family. She is such an amazing women. So this picture had such terrilbe lens flare, but I wanted to show what a wonderful view Earl and Mari have from their backyard. It's beautiful at night. I loved seating there in their spa looking out on the view....Wonderful!!!This is so funny. I wanted to take a picture of Wyatt on the scooter. So I told him to look at me when he got on. However, he thinks he is some kind of model and he totally posed for this picture. When he saw me with the camera pointed towards him, he ran to the wall holding the scooter and looked down and said "Cheese!". He is such a funny kid.
