We were so lucky to have a fun trip to Utah to spend time with family. Unfortunately Rusty doesn't have time off yet so I went without him. My parents have a time share in Park City so the kids decided to bring their spouses and children and join them for a fun week away. With so many of us sharing space I'm just happy we're all still speaking with each other- j/k. 
It was an amazing moment on Sunday to look around the room and see kids everywhere and think in 25 years I'll be the grandma and my kids will be the moms and dads and I'll have a room full of busy little bodies that are "mine." Wow! What an important thing it is that we nourish good family roots now so that we can enjoy the fruit then. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing family. I hope I can do as well as my parents :) I think I'm really beginning to feel my mortality, but time seems to by moving so quickly I just cherish each day. While we were there my grandma's twin sister died and we found out my Aunt had a cancerous tumor growing on her brain. Life is so fragile and it takes so little to change everything. I try to remind myself often to enjoy my time and not wish it away.
I don't think we really "did" much in Park City. The kids went swimming at least once every day.
After our time up north we stopped down to Cedar City for a quick visit with some friends. Unfortunately we didn't have much time as I was reaching the end of my vacation tolerance. I've decided I'm not a very good single mom. Our drive home involved multiple stops for puking and a really grumpy 4 year old, so I was very grateful when we finally got home to dad.

It was just yesterday when I wrote this, and this morning I found out my sister (Renee) and brother-in-law (Tim) had terrible loss in their family. Yesterday Tim's sister was driving to a family reunion and was hit by a hydroplaning truck- Her 6 yr old daughter died instantly and she and her 4 yr old son are in the hospital. It is so heartbreaking! Once again I realize how grateful I need to be for the protection we received as we travel- puking and fitting 4 year olds are a blessing. I wish we could do more than simply pray for their family.
