Jeff's schedule at work got changed for the next month or so and because of his old schedule and new schedule merging, he ended up with a 6 day weekend last week. We decided we needed to get away for awhile and headed over the mountain to
Klamath so the kids could visit with Grandma Bonnie and Papa Chuck. For the most part we had a wonderful relaxing weekend.
Grandma Bonnie
bought some buckets and shovels for kids to play with while they visited.
Rayden and Parker broke them in eagerly! They played out in the dirt and gravel almost everyday while we were there and got good and dirty in the process :)
Rayden had to have a few tea parties while we were there of course! On this day she had some yummy hot chocolate, she said it helped her sleep "
sooooo good!!"
Parker was being silly there and chewing on his shirt a lot. He thought it was
hilarious and continued to do it because of course we were all laughing at him! Bonnie said Jeff did this when he was little too.
Jeff helped his mom fix some of her sprinklers when we were there too. While they were doing that we were looking at all of Grandma Bonnie's pretty flowers. She had some
gorgeous lilac bushes blooming and they smelled wonderful! She got some pots and put some starters in them for me to take home but
unfortunately we forgot them there :(
Sunday was a hard day for Parker and I. Parker got up in the morning and he was throwing up and had
diarrhea. No fun. Luckily he did not have much in his belly and was just throwing up water most of the time. He definitely was not himself and kept laying down on a blanket in the living room to sleep and every once in awhile you would find him laying on the kitchen floor. Poor guy. We got him to take about a 4 hour nap and he did seem better when he got up. We all sat down to eat a yummy steak dinner and that is when I started feeling horrible. I ended up in pain and throwing up until about 3 in the morning and still felt really cruddy the next day. I was really thankful for Bonnie, she helped out with the kids
sooo much and took care of me :) Rayden and Daddy ended up sick with the same thing a few of days later.
It has been warm here lately and Rayden has been looking forward to swimming season. Papa got the pool all cleaned and filled and she was eager to try it out. it had not heated up quite enough for some of us yet but she didn't care. On Memorial day Papa and Uncle Jason took the kids into the pool. Rayden loved it of course and swam all over the place with her trusty floaties on her arms. Jordan did not care for the pool at first, but quickly warmed up to it and started having fun. Parker has been in quite the mood lately and that didn't change when he got into the pool, he just fussed the whole time so we finally took him out (he still continued to fuss!) I am looking forward to when it gets warmer, then I will be more than happy to join them :)
