Roosevelt...

So, this past Easter weekend we went to Roosevelt to visit some of our friends from college. They have 2 girls about the same age as ours and it was a lot of fun! They have been living in California and moved not too long ago, so we are glad to have them closer so we can see them more often. The highlight of the trip, especially for Saige, was that on the day we got there after we had only been there a few hours, their cat had babies!!! They were SO cute and it was fun to see them and experience that. One kitten didn't make it so that was sad but the rest of them seem to be doing well. It was so weird because right when we got there Lacey was telling Saige that their cat was going to have kittens in a day and a couple hours later Mat is calling from the garage for Holly to come out there and we go and there are kittens plopped in various spots on the garage floor. It is like she couldn't quite make it to the box or something. We were all worrying if they were ok or not and didn't know what to do. It was cold and here were these little babies on the concrete floor of the garage. She finally made it to the box with one of them when we came and checked on her and she had another one while in there. So, Holly picked up the 2 that were alive with a wash cloth and put them in with her and we had Mat try CPR on the one that was clearly dead. It was really sad...I guess Holly and I had our motherly instincts kick in cuz we were worried about them all night. We had to keep checking on her to make sure she was taking care of ALL the babies...Needless to say we all dreamed about Cats that night... :)Of course Sagie has already picked which one she wants to be hers and has already named it, "Cutie"... it's one of the orange ones...

They also had fun playing outside...

Misha and Raegen were trying to drive the car. They would be going and when they were about to run into something they would scream! It was funny. They pretty much just drove around in circles because they couldn't figure out how to turn...

Greyson enjoyed playing Rock Band with Rich and Mat. He is always bopping his head to the music and Loves getting into Rich's studio at home. Rich is hoping he is in to music as much as he seems to be loving it already...

We went in to Vernal and swam at the new Rec center. It was an inside pool thank goodness because it was COLD and RAINY all day! The kids were loving it!

Raegen, Mat, Lacey, and Saige. I don't think I got any pictures of Holly and me this whole trip. I guess because we were always the ones behind the cameras...

This part of the pool is kind of like a mini lazy river but alot faster...Misha wandered off from Rich at one time and got pulled into it. She was pretty scared even though Rich got to her quickly. I think it scared her pretty bad though because that night she was scared to go to sleep and while I was laying by her she was telling me in detail how scary it was and how she hates that pool and never wants to go there again. She told me the next day that she got "sucked off" in that pool....I was trying really hard to not laugh and ease her fears some more... I think I have her talked into going through with swimming lessons in June...

Saige and Lacey were loving it though and had NO FeaR!!!

The Easter Bunny found us while we were there and the kids were pretty excited about that. Except Raegen thought the Easter bunny was still there in the morning and was nervous to come out and see... She did NOT want to SEE him!!!

The girls checking out their goods. They woke up SO early!!!! We were all so tired after staying up late playing games and catching up.

Greyson checking out what the Easter bunny left for him... He was so mellow, just crawling around the whole time and he loved playing with Reagen's doll house. I should have got a picture of that, it was the cutest doll house with lots of little furniture.

Saige and Lacey were best buds while we were there. They were like two peas in a pod doing gymnastics, playing, checking on the kitties and going marble mining. Rich didn't get any pics of that but they had a blast! Mat had to do a special dance to scare away the bugs and lizards for Misha so she would go with them...Thanks Mat and Holly for a fun weekend!
