My Uncle Mitch called this morning saying that he and my two cousins were in town to check out BYU and wanted to see us. I contacted my cousin Hillary and we met them at the Creamery on 9th to catch up ( in my case) and meet ( in Hillary's case). My cousin Michael is deciding which school to go to next fall and BYU is in the running. So we decked ourselves out in BYU attire and headed for Provo. I say that like it was easy. It was more like: wrestle a shirt on Hyrum pick up crying Noah, pat him a few times tell Hyrum to get in his chair so we can eat dinner, look for Noah's sock that Hyrum ran off with, tell Hyrum to get in his chair again, phone rings, pick up a crying Noah again and try to nurse him while picking up Hyrum's sippy cup off the floor get plates and dinner on the table etc. talk to Derek and realize that I need to leave for the ice cream shop in 10 minutes, franticly eat, get Noah in his carseat with only one sock on, go to get a blanket and see Hyrum walking around with Noah's other sock, put a hoodie on Hyrum as I get us out the door, put Noah in the car while Hyrum lays on the floor playing with his toys, get him into his seat and then get into mine and realize we are suppose to be there in 10 minutes and it takes 20. Needless to say it was a little frantic GETTING there but SOOOOO worth it BEING there.
I don't get to see my family nearly enough. Especially the ones in Michigan ( My uncle and cousins checking out BYU came out from MI ) Hyrum was having the time of his life with his cousins. He'd brought in one of his toys from the car and was sending it across the table as we waited and also while we ate our ice cream. When we were going to leave he ran off with Michael and Alex and when I got him into the car he kept saying and continued to say all the way home "I no want to go home! I want to really see those guys!" I really wish we could see them more. I want to really see those guys too!
Noah in his BYU hat before we left for the Creamery. He's my butterball that's for sure! :) Look at those cheeks!

They always say that once you have more than one kid something always happens when you are trying to get out the door. That happened to us on Monday.
