Bedtime

I love bedtime at our house! The kids are so awesome and follow the plan of: Bedtime snack, Books, Brush then Bed. For a few weeks we would get the older 3 in bed and then Raychel would go and "bug" those who were in their beds. We finally figured out that she wanted to be like them and go to bed. So now we just put everyone to bed at the same time and it works wonderfully for us. Raychel usually plays for 10 minutes until she finally just lays down and sleeps. Aaaahhhhh. The joys of a quiet house.

St George

We went down to St George for the weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa Young. Gerald and I were married on G&G's 52 wedding anniversary. So we share anniversary's This year is 9 years for us and 61 for The Youngs. We went out to dinner on Sunday night. It is fun to see the kids with their great-grandparents.
That night at the motel, Raychel was not sleeping at all. Finally at 3am, we moved Carrson to sleep with Hannah, thinking that if Gerald and I put Raychel in between us, she would finally go to sleep. Not so. At 3:30 I got up and went out to the lobby. At 4:30, Carrson showed up and told me he was hungry. Seriously my 5 year old trucking around a motel during the wee hours of the morning. OK I was a little mortified, but grateful he found me. So he got an apple and watched Little Einsteins in the Lobby. Finally Raychel had fallen asleep, so we went back to bed. Raychel decided to get back up at 6, so Gerald took her and roamed the halls and sat by the pool. She does not like to sleep anywhere but her own bed. She likes to go, but not to sleep.

Well we made it through the night! James played the piano for Grandma & Grandpa and then Grandpa played for us. Carrson sang songs, Hannah did somersaults and Raychel cleaned off everything within her reach. Grandma will have to put all of her stuff back where it belongs since we put it all up to keep the baby out of it. We had a fun weekend swimming, playing and visiting.

We did it
