A trip to St. George

In May Tate and I drove to St. George with my Mom and Grandma for my cousins wedding. It was a beautiful wedding! I wish I would have taken pictures but I forgot. We had so much fun and wish we could have stayed longer than just the weekend. Here are a few pictures.

 

Mom, Grandma, my Aunt Kathy and Natalie. We roomed next to Kathy and her four grandchildren, which Tate absolutley LOVED!  

Tate and Nonna early in the morning, Tate loved having his Nonna and GG there.

We swam as much as we could but not as much as we wanted, expecially Tate. He loved having Natalie hold him while in the pool, well he just loved Natalie.

Tate and I just before we left to go to the reception.

Tate and Nonna.

Tate was dancing at the reception it was so cute! Doesn't he look so handsome!

Relaxing in the room.

The drive home. Tate loves ice and so this cup of ice kept him occupied for a lot of the drive.

St.George FUN!

A few weeks ago I had to go to Cedar City for work for a Team Meeting at the Fresh Market there. It was my first time being away from both Tate and Josh since Tate was born, and well it was weird, I missed my two Guys so much. Especially since I was away from them for two nights. I drove down to Cedar city Wednesday morning, and then went to St.George thursday evening, it was a surprise for Jess, she had no idea I was coming and I loved it!!

Josh, Tate, Steve and Chelese drove down on Friday afternoon. Once they got here we all went out to eat with Heather at Pasta Factory and just visited.

I have to back up a little bit.....all week while I had been gone Tate was really fussy, he wouldn't eat, was sleeping okay, but very very onery. Crying almost constantly, but then he would be fine, so we were thinking, his eye teeth are coming in, it has to be that.

Friday night after I gave him a bath, I noticed a Large lump on his left side, in the low abdomen/hip area. I touched it and he started crying like crazy. I ran him down stairs to where Jess and Heather and Chelse were to ask them what they thought and all said hernia, so off the Dixie Regional ER we went. ( it was after nine so no insta care).

The doc looked at him and felt around as Tate screamed his head off, and said yup its a hernia, keep him calm all weekend and when you get home Monday call your Pediatrician and he will see you. Keep him on Tylenol as needed for pain, but if he stays calm it shouldn't bulge.

So thats what we did, Tate got whatever he wanted all weekend!

Here are some pictures of our Trip.

2 places I have to go every trip, Pasta and Pizza Factory, thanks TJ for the best pizza ever!! It's just so much better getting it from the REAL PF!!

It wouldn't be a STG trip if Jess didn't take a self portrait with my Camera!!

Pictures out on the Truck! Sophie and Tate

The Girls, I miss these girls more than you know! My BFF's!

So this is what Saturday consisted of, swimming, eating, more swimming, laying in the sun, and umm eating and SWIMMING!! Hotel Shattuck is by far the best! Thanks Heather for letting us crash at your house. It was so fun to relax and swim and play with the pups and of course get to finally visit with you and Jess!

Steve and Josh Playing in the pool, us girls were all pooled out! :)

St.George & Valentines & Car.....

I was determined to go to st. george for Presidents day weekend. First bad thing: I found out I don't get Presidents day off from work, so trip cut short, no big deal. Second: ummm I can smell anti freeze... no big deal, Josh and his Dad look at the car, everything looks fine, watch it all week. So Friday came and all was well and off we went with Chelese and Steve in tow. Just in case we forgot how to get there, Steve brought his GPS woo hoo
Tate had Aunt Chelese and Uncle Steve in the back to keep him company

The Cagles also went to St.George and Saturday we all enjoyed a day at Snow Canyon!

oh it's been way too long since we have had one of these self portraits! Love ya girl!!

I love this place, I seriously miss it more than I ever would have thought. It will always be home to me!

Hiking in Snow Canyon on the "cow Pie" thats what I call them, I think they look like red cow pies, I don't know why but I have always thought that.
Our little family

Tate at the sand Dunes, He actually enjoyed playing in the sand

I had to get a picture of this, Daddy's Hands ( love that song)

Little Miss Sophie filling her shirt with sand, yeah she threw that at me after I took the picture

Eating at Pasta Factory

The Bentley's treated us very good on Valentines Day. They had treats for all the kiddies and us Moms. TJ Made a delicious Breaksfast!! and TJ took the guys golfing at a 4 star golf course in Mesquite, called Wolf Creek.

We spent the weekend at my Aunt and Uncles house, the Nortons! It was sooo good to see them. I love them so much. They are my second parents, they have been such a big part of my life. I lived with them for a while when I was in St.George and I just love that whole family. Thanks Jeff and Deb for letting us bombared your house this weekend. I am so mad I didn't get any pictures with you! Next time for sure! Love ya!!!

Well Third: we made it all the way to Clearfield and our car started to over heat, quickly Josh pulled over and well needless to say we ended up waiting on the side of the road for it to cool down, 5 minutes from home ended up taking another 30+ minutes. We finally made it to the clinton exit, Josh and Steve pushed us down the exit ramped, we coasted down the street and into the chevron parking lot where Josh's Dad rescued us.

Well a week later, a new radiator didn't fix it, so our car is at Ken Garff Nissan, we found out today that it has a Cracked Block, NOT GOOD! Hopefully our warranty will cover it. Ken Garff submitted it to Nissan that it should, hopefully they agree.
