Visiting P-town

We had an interesting weekend. On Saturday, we went to Parowan because my mom and dad were visiting from Centerville. My parents moved to Centerville a few years ago, but they kept the house in Parowan (mostly because my siblings and I would not let them sell it). Anyway, we are glad that they kept the house because it is big enough for everyone to hang out when they visit. Also, my brother, Mike, and his little family live there while they hunt for a house of their own.

While in Parowan, Lincoln did not want much to do with anyone other than me, David or Daniel. He doesn't know my other family members very well. I could tell that it kinda hurt my mom's feelings that he didn't know her. She always jokes about moving back and having my dad commute to SLC and back.


Lincoln let my mom hold him just long enough to get a picture with her, my dad and Daniel.

While Lincoln was trying to show off his crawling skills, his 2 year old cousin, Austin, thought Link was playing horsey. Austin tried to ride on Lincoln's back...and you can imagine how that turned out. Lincoln fell flat on his belly. Although Lincoln was pretty ticked, it was really funny.

Lincoln also found the joy of helium balloons over the weekend. We found one at the house and he absolutely loved playing with it. He kept hitting himself in the face with it. He laughed really hard every time.

Shortly after we got home for the night, Lincoln threw up all over the place. I felt so bad for him. He seemed pretty miserable. The puking has continued into today. I think I have done more laundry over the last few days than I have over the last few weeks.

It was kinda funny because David's dad and I were talking about how when you have kids, you would do things for them that you would not even do for yourself. Right after he said that, I caught some of Lincoln's puke in my hand! I would definitely not ever try to catch my own throw-up, but when it involves your child, it's different. Maybe some of you are gagging at the thought of my catching Lincoln's puke, but to me, it's just not that big of a deal. I don't know....maybe I'm weird.

On Sunday, we went to a little birthday party for David's mom. She is such a great person. She's a good example of what it means to be Christlike. It seems like she is constantly looking for opportunities to serve others. It was fun to celebrate her birthday.
