Visiting The Grandpaaa in the hospital

Jon’s Dad has been sick and finally went in to get checked out. And then his liver started to fail. So we packed up bags and picked up some Aunts and Uncles and headed to Utah. We were praying that it was NOT to say goodbye.

  We spent a good portion of our weekend visiting The Grandpaaa in the hospital.

He still made it fun for these two. Because that’s how he is.

With all his boys. Grandpa started getting better. Yea. 🙂 So Sunday afternoon we headed back to Phoenix. Still waiting on all his labs and tests and such to find out what is going on.

32nd birthday

Since we were unexpectedly in Utah for my birthday I got to go and have a visit with my sweet Grandma. Jon and Regan were at the hospital with Jon’s Dad having just the boys time. So we got to have some fun shopping and visiting for just the girls time. Woot!

Part of shopping was getting me a birthday flan. Do you like my super annoyed mom face? Ya. My little buddy was having a melt down because, 1) He didn’t get to make me a cake, and 2) the cake I picked was full of dairy and eggs. Not kid friendly. This was strictly a grown up dessert. We did buy dessert for the kids and Jon (he doesn’t do flan). IMG_0400

And here we have a fake smile, because I had Regan melting down off camera. It was a happy sad day/birthday. Lots of fake smiling.IMG_0401

Kaylee was being hysterical. She was super happy to be singing to me.IMG_0404 IMG_0409He was truly devastated. My birthday flan was a last straw emotionally for him. Too many big feelings happening too close together. He misses our foster kids, Grandpa is in the hospital, he had to miss his first ever school field trip, and one of his favorite school friends birthday party all on the same weekend. So ya, my birthday flan broke him.

Nathan baptism and family birthday parties

Sweet Nathan got baptized and all the local cousins got to celebrate his special day with him. I love these silly people and their amazing grandparents.

Our local clan is hopefully just going to keep growing. I love having so many nieces and nephews nearby to love on as much as our crazy busy lives allow.

Nathan wanted king piggy for his 8th pinata. So king piggy he got.

Sara (my birthday buddy) decided to throw down a challenge on my pinata skills. I love this girl and am only slightly scared for what next years request will be. 😉  Pretty much a perfect Saturday. Baptism, all the kiddos, and 2 birthdays celebrated.
