Exhaustion

I took my trip to Minnesota this past week. I loved every second of it! I got to play with my nephews, and cuddle the babies. I have to tell you, being up at night is nothing new, since I am a mom, but being up at night with 2 babies, is something else. I can officially say, I never want twins, but I totally relished the time I was with Lucy and Max. I can also add a new hero that I look up to, to my list. That would be my amazing sister in law Carrie. Our week was jam packed with baby feedings, diaper changes, clothing changes (for babies and mommies), naps, lots of giggles, and lots of food. Carrie and I snuck off to the mall of America on Saturday morning. That is definately huge, and will be even more fun when we go out as a family and take the kiddos. It was so nice to enjoy girl time though. I am always so comfortable with Carrie, I can pretty much say anything, and we never run out of things to talk about. Things I will never forget about my trip: Mick saying, "I no want to" about everything (pretty funny after a few days of hearing it!), Sam talking my ears off (it is so cute!), Mall of America, "discussions" with Jeff and Carrie, Twilight watching (Carrie and I watched all 3 movies), playing the piano in the atrium at Mayo Clinic (that is an amazing place), sticking babies in carved pumpkins just for a picture (they are super cute by the way), bonding with Max and Lucy, new baby smell, baby sighs, and baby smiles. Life didn't stop while I was away. Back home, Wyatt had Red Ribbon Week. It was crazy hair day so...

Isabelle was pretty sure that I was never coming home, and told me so on the phone Thursday night. She was ok the next night, and when I told her I was coming home, she informed me that it was ok, I didn't need to. This is the best thing. My husband painted my wall I've been wanting to paint.

Isn't it beautiful? I am so happy that he did it for me! My kids carved pumpkins. I was telling Carrie that they do it every year, without me, because I usually have mutual or something else going on.

Wyatt got to go fishing with our Uncle Steve and Jared. They also went to the elder's quorum activity that evening. Here is a picture of Wyatt wearing Uncle Steve's hardhat (and Wyatt's favorite football team).

A lot has happened in a week's time. I am just so thankful I was able to go out and help Jeff and Carrie with the twins. I will never forget it! Thank you Minnesota Scows! I miss you already!
