Scott flew in for three days this past weekend. After 17 long days without him, we were so excited to see him. And he even had surprises for us! He got the kids a little candy bag, which they obviously loved. And for me... a surprise from one of my closest friends.
Melissa had a whole package full of encouragement! A book, a CD, some nail polish and the best list of things to look forward to. It was the sweetest thing and cried as I opened it. Its so nice to have such great friends. I don't think she knows how much it really means to me. Thanks Melissa...I love you.
The first few days we just hung out and enjoyed being around each other. The boys wrestled with Dad nonstop and I enjoyed some much needed downtime.
Then Saturday we packed up the kids and took a little road trip. We spent the day at Bear World, enjoyed some dinner in Idaho Falls and then spent the night in a Hotel across from the IF Temple. It was just what the doctor ordered. After a few weeks of hard single parenting, it was essential to have fun with the family. Getting away and having fun was a great reminder about how much I love being a mom and reenergized me for the last 2 1/2 weeks of our adventure.
I love this picture of Tayden taking a picture. He loves taking pictures, so make sure you don't miss the last post. (Its hilarious.)
Cache loved the train.
Tayden took the following pictures.
After a fun filled day at bear world, we went out to dinner at Scotts favorite place in the whole world-- Chuck-a-Rama. He was pumped. And so was Cache.
Our view was awesome. I laid in bed and stared at this magnificent building as the sun went down. Absolutely beautiful.
We ended the evening with a night cap swim and watching some TV in bed at the hotel. We all slept in, grabbed some continental breakfast and took Daddy to the airport. It was a sad goodbye, but our last one since we get to go home with him next time he comes.
Today also happens to be our 7 year anniversary. I can't believe how much has changed in the 7 years we've been married. I am so grateful to have him as a partner and helpmeet. He is a wonderful husband and father. It was hard watching him leave today, but I am so grateful for his hard work ethic and drive to take care of his family. I love him. A lot.
What a great weekend.
Can't wait to see him again.
