On the road again....St. George

***From October 17th***

Grandpa Dale's 90th and Grandma Barbara's 80th Birthday's with a big family bash.

What a great looking family. Moments like this make the 6 hour plus trip with two young children really worth it. We left Friday morning, and made our way south. We spent a good hour traveling 20 miles due to construction. During this time Zane would ask for more fruit snacks (about every two minutes). Jacob slept through most of the construction. (YEA) We arrived around 5:00 in St. George. Checked in to a great hotel, right by the pool changed and made our way to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

We had such a wonderful time getting to see my Uncle Al and Aunt Tess and their kids. I don't think we have seen them since I was prego with Zane.

(Grandma Barbara looking stunning - can't believe she is 80!!)

The next day back at the hotel, Zane and Ry were swimming (I was out shopping with Jacob). I received a phone call from Mitta telling me what Kass had had to jump in the pool to rescue Zane and Ry. Evidently Zane had on floaters - but wasn't trusting them. So he was trying to hold on to Ry - who isn't big enough or strong enough to support them both in the water. The result, two children taking on water fast. So like the super hero he is Kass jumped in fully clothed to rescue them both- YEA. The day is saved. Sadly we had one loss - his cell phone was in his pocket and after trying to revive it for several days we had to call it a loss (Sad)

Zane now tells everyone the story of how his Daddy jumped in the pool to save him - "he is my life saver!"

Kass was a wonderful daddy during the party. He let me visit with my family while he followed Jacob around and tried to not have to be a hero twice in one trip. (Jacob will try to climb anything.

So glad that we had the chance to see so many great people. We are lucky to be related to such great people.
