Well it's been a hectic week here at my house with much going on. I guess you will see with all the next posts coming up what I have been up to.
Last Tuesday on the 14Th My sister Ashley, her two daughters Kaylee and Taylor, my brother Darrik, and Brooklyn and I made our way to visit my grandparents in New Mexico. Darrik wanted to see my grandparents before he left for his mission, both of them have been getting worse medically and my mother doesn't think they will be around much longer. We tagged along to visit with them and for them to see Brooklyn for the first time.
So the road trip there was kinda bad, ok that's an understatement. It was horrible. Brooklyn hadn't gotten in any naps the whole way and she wasn't happy about being in her car seat. She did sleep the last hour there because it was her bed time and she was exhausted!! I thank Darrik and Ashley for not kicking us out. Although Taylor had thrown up shortly after driving through Payson. We now call her Mini Marc, if you know what I mean! We got in at about 8:30 our time, which was 9:30 their time. Aunt Laurie and Uncle Mark let us crash at their place which was very kind of them. That night we hung out with Todd, Kallie, Mark and Laurie. We kept them up late talking and chit chatting.
Then on Wednesday we went over to my grandparents to visit with them. It was tons of fun talking with them and enjoying their presence. Darrik was riding Grandma's wheel chair all over their little home and us older girls didn't give it any thought. He spent so much time in it I wanted to see what was so kewl about it. I somehow got him out and found why he enjoyed it so much. Man her wheel chair goes so fast and was a blast. So then Ashley got on it too. We had so much fun that we then had races on the main street. Grandma got a kick out of it all.
We left on wednesday afternoon, early evening. The trip back was so much better, Brooklyn slept or the first hour or two and then went back to sleep when it got dark at 7. When she was up she didn't even cry. It was a better day for her, thank goodness. 
I love my Grandparents so much, they have done so much for me and have been such great examples! What big shoes to follow in, I hope I can be as great as they are!
We enjoyed our time with them and were sad it had to be such a short trip. We were so glad we went and spent time with them. Thank you Dad for providing that for all of us! It was a great experience and without you it wouldn't have been possible.

Whoo hoo, what a fun adventure! That's awesome that you got to spend time with your grandparents, and I agree, wheelchairs are an awesome source of entertainment :)
I so wish I could have been there!
