We headed to Utah while Ben was going to do an internship in Idaho Falls. He was here for Lucy's blessing and then headed off Monday morning.
Sunday: little Lucy's blessing day. After a beautiful blessing, we went to the park for some food and fun!
NoticeCarly's 'holding' Lucy's binky:)
Monday: Hogle Zoo. Cody liked the animals and LOVED the train ride. Macey preferred to sleep and stay out of the sun, I sure hope that changes because Cody wants to live outside in the summer.
Tuesday: Jungle Jim's Playland. Mom or Steph...I need your pictures! Cody was in his element. I stuck him on a little roller coaster that went really fast in a big seat by himself. I was worried it would go too fast, but as it started he got a look of pure excitement that lasted the entire ride! He also liked the bumper cars, but since I had to ride in it with him it wasn't as cool. He kept telling me to get out:) I also got to see Becky and Brett's newly finished basement, it's beautiful!
Wednesday: A little hang out time and time for Macey to relax and get better. She took two Really long naps and her fever broke.
Thursday: A little shopping and lunch. That night Amy, Jessi and I took a girls' night and went to Seventeen Again (again!). On the way there some random boy in a truck next to us took a picture of Jessi with his phone and I caught him. He just laughed and held up his phone. Random! Jessi is gorgeous though. I love girls' nights.
Friday: Cody rode Isaac and the tractor at the farm. I rode a little too...someday I'll be a pro. At least I better be, because I guarantee someday we'll have several horses so I might as well enjoy them!
Happy Birthday to Micah, she's 3! We sang happy birthday to her, then while they were eating cupcakes, Micah sang "Happy birthday to me." Clayton (my nephew) was listening and sang happy birthday to me back. She sat there a second then said, "no...happy birthday to me." Clayton parroted it back and a never ending conversation started. Micah got several pricess dressed and her cousin Spencer (from Brett's side) tried one on. Ben would have killed me if Cody was wearing one of those:)!
That night Ben came home (Utah home that is)!!! I never know what to say about his experience, and honestly he's not the best reporter. He saw a mare foal a little black colt. They did a bunch of equine work, some small animal stuff, and overall I think he had a great time and got to see what the clinic was like.
Saturday: Hogle Zoo, part 2 with my family (at this point my card was full and I don't have any pictures of this either:( anyone? send me pictures). Right after the zoo my parents drove down to American Fork to see Lynette who is pregnant and due in a week and has a
blood clot. We hope everything goes okay and we're praying for you Nette. We had a great time and can't wait until we come back!
A good friend of mine told me that if you shave your baby's head, their hair will grow back thicker. So, since Macey is still basically bald, I thought I would do a little experiment and test that theory and see if it works for Macey. We did it to Cody and it totally worked - but he was 13 months old - so I don't know if it was because he was bound to get hair eventually or because we buzzed his head.
The vet school had their open house. Cody got to feed and sit on a cow and we took a ride on the draft horse. This weekend Ben is in Seattle at the Emerald Downs race track. They were at the races yesterday, went on a tour and also went to some clinics and were with some doctors checking horses. Last night they slept in a barn in hopes that a couple of the mares would have their foals. Four were close, but none did last night:(. He's coming home today!
