This weekend my Mom, Grandma and Uncle Layne flew in to Dallas so they could see where we lived and then we all drove down to Houston to go to my cousin's wedding.  Though I feel bad that they had to endure a 5 hour car ride to get there I am glad that they came and to see us in Dallas and the road trip was fun (Harrison survived anyway!).  I actually let him face forward for the first time!  Yes, he is 21 months old but he finally reached 20 lbs. a month or so ago and I just haven't switched him because it is safer rear facing so--this was a treat for him (he had no idea that I was still torturing him by having him stare at the back seat!).  This a pic of my Mom and I at the Houston temple.  Lindi, Ryan's sis, lives in Houston so she was so great and drove to the temple, took him to a park with her boys and drove him back when we were done! Thanks SO much Lindi!  He had so much fun!!  He didn't even say good-bye once I got him in the car and he saw his four cousins!!


This week has also been crazy because I kind of started a job--kind of!  Well, anyone that knows my husband knows that he can't only do one thing at a time.  He does work for Blockbuster but he also has a trucker recruiting company on the side.  One of the employees not only recruited but she did some of the office work.  Well, is having a baby in a couple of weeks so I am see if I can handle doing the updating of spreadsheets and hires and stuff.  I am hoping that I can do most of it in the evenings when Harrison is sleeping....So we will see how it goes right?  Last week I was kind of "trained" by her and yesterday was my first official day (and was up till after 1:00) so hopefully I will figure everything out and will get it done MUCH quicker!  Hope all is well with everyone!

How fun that you had a road trip! I'm glad Harrison survived - I don't know how Eli would do on a 5-hour car ride... (he can barely make it on a 40-minute car ride!) the picture of you and your mom is so cute.

Sounds fun. I love it when family comes to visit us. Your Harrison is a good sport. Last summer we drove cross country with our kids, and honestly they are just barely starting to tolerate the car again.

Good luck with the new job. You are always great at everything you do. Ryan is lucky to have such a good employee!
