Alright, let's finish up this visit.
On Saturday, Day 6 we were so tired from the beach, a late night and sick kids waking up in the night that we did not feel like doing much. The kids were still sick so we really couldn't go anywhere anyway. So, I just worked on Little Miss Priss's cake so it would be all ready for her birthday the next day.
The next day was All Day Meeting in Hemet, so that was nice. My mom took both kids home for a nap after lunch, so we got to enjoy the meeting without any distractions from our kids.
After Gospel meeting we had Little Miss Priss's birthday party and it was a lot of fun. She really enjoyed her cake as you can see in this video.
She was probably more interested in the ribbons on her presents than opening them. She really loved the stuffed Tigger my mom gave her. You can see her loving on it in this video.
Monday morning we packed up and headed back home. It was a pretty uneventful trip and the kids did better than expected. I had always dreaded having to drive all the way down to my parents house with my kids but it was so much better than I expected. Lots of snacks and treats sure helped! We didn't drive it all in one day. We stopped in Winnemucca, Nevada for the night and headed out early Tuesday morning, about 6:30. We got home just in time for the kids to take their afternoon nap at 2:00. All in all, it was a good trip. We had a lot of fun and I won't be afraid of driving down there again.

Surprise Visit Day 4 and 5
Okay, I've got to get this visit wrapped up. This is starting to drag on and on as I get more and more behind!
So, day 4 was August 9, my birthday! I'm 29 years old but I don't feel like it. That sounds so old. I keep thinking I'm still in my early 20's!
So for my birthday my dear husband took me out to all you can eat sushi and it was so good! He was so sweet to do that. He doesn't like sushi so he had Arby's first!
That was about it for my birthday. It was a nice day. I was so glad I was in Hemet. That's what I really wanted to do for my birthday.
The next day was Friday and we went to the beach. It was a lot of fun and a lot of work. The water was so warm! I couldn't believe it. It's usually pretty cold. It felt so good to swim around in the waves and catch a few waves on the boogie board. I wore myself out, though, trying to get out to the big waves. I didn't get to go into the water until after lunch and Little Miss Priss finally went to sleep. So, I really didn't get to be in the water for long but it was worth it.
Here's Little Miss Priss enjoying the shade. We got both of them these cute little chairs with their own umbrella at Wal-Mart on clearance for $5.
Mischievo had so much fun in the sand and water.
Here's Mischeivo and Big Brother buried in the sand.
A goofy picture of Little Miss Priss. This picture is actually a good picture of what she's really like. She's the biggest ham you ever saw. She's always making the goofiest faces.
It was so much work packing everything back up and getting it into the cars. Then we we got back to my parents house we had to clean everyone up and you know how hard it is to get all the sand off! Also, by the time we left the beach Little Miss Priss had a fever. We were supposed to be at Bill and Becky B's by 7:00 and we didn't leave the beach until 4:30 and it takes over an hour to get to my parents house from there. So, we didn't have a whole lot of time to clean up, eat supper and get over to the B's house. Since Little Miss Priss had a fever we left her with my mom and while we were gone she threw up. We didn't get home from the B's until 11:00, which is very late for us. Then on top of everything Mischievo came down with the fever, too, in the night. So, we had two fussy kids to deal with during the night. What a way to end a busy day! We were so tired on Saturday.

Surprise Visit Day 2 and 3
I guess I had better finish up about our surprise visit! I'm not doing very good about posting. I've been working on a cross stitching project, so that has been taking up my spare time. I have to work on it when ever I have the urge or it will never get done. Cross stitching isn't something I like to do for very long and I will go months or years without feeling like doing it. I got motivated to get this project done because I want to be able to hang it up in our addition.
We didn't do much on Tuesday at my parents house. Just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful weather.
Little Miss Priss loved playing in this little red car. She would sit in there and make motor sounds and open and close the door. It was so cute.
She also had a lot of fun climbing on and off of these little chairs. She's really starting to be a climber.
Here's a picture of Mischievo, Little Miss Priss and Big Brother. They all had fun playing together.
So, I guess there isn't anything more to write about that was very interesting. It was just a relaxing day and we were still trying to catch up on our sleep after driving all night.

Surprise Visit
So, on August 3, a Friday we went over to Aberdeen again to visit Steve and Kim. Mischievo got to ride in a combine on Friday night. On Saturday we didn't do too much but Mischievo got to sit in some more tractors. Here's a picture of him on a John Deere tractor wearing Clark's John Deere hat.
And here's Little Miss Priss with her Aunt Kim up in a big John Deere tractor.
On Sunday evening at 6:00 p.m. Aberdeen time, we left for my parents house down in Hemet, CA. That's southern California. It's about 13 hours from Aberdeen. We made it in 13 hours with two stops. We drove all night long and got to my parents house at 6:15 a.m. They had no idea we were coming! They thought we were in Aberdeen. When we got to their house the gate was shut of course and so my husband called and got my dad on the phone. My dad asked if we were on the road and my husband said "Kind of!" and then my husband said we were waiting for a gate to open and my dad's said "Oh really? Where?" and my husband said "We're sitting outside your gate!". My dad could hardly believe it! Here's Mischievo when we got there. He was still asleep
And Little Miss Priss was awake.
The weather was so nice at my parents. I was even cold at first! So, we had breakfast and then my dad went to work. My mom goes to swimming lessons with my sister, sister-in-law and their kids every morning so she said she would take Mischievo with her and he could swim. My husband and I stayed home to take a nap and so did Little Miss Priss. We were so exhausted. It felt so good to sleep. We probably slept a couple of hours but then I couldn't sleep very good anymore because it was so light and out. I was kind of excited, too, about being there.
Mischievo had so much fun playing outside at Nana's(that's what my mom wants to be called). Here's a picture of him riding around on a little battery powered motorcycle that she has.
Later that day my sister and sister-in-law came over and we all had a nice visit. I think everybody was at my parents house for supper, too. It was a very nice first day there. I'll have to do more posts for the rest of our visit.
