So to kick off May, we took a few days off and drove down to
Mesquite, NV. My parents have a condo down there we rented for a few days and
met up with some old college friends. It
was sooooo fun!! Our friends that stayed with us have a little boy about the
same age as Cooper and they were adorable together. They were both waking up at about 5 am
because they were so excited to play with each other. The first couple nights there, Cooper was up
every hour asking to play with Ralphie and made us walk out into the living
room so he could see that Ralphie was still asleep and couldn’t play yet! We swam and ate junk food and just caught up
for a few days. On the Saturday we were
down there, we had a big reunion with friends from our old apartment complex in
Rexburg. A couple live in Vegas, and one
came down from Idaho. We kinda took over
the retirement complex we were staying in.
We ended up with 10 adults and 6 kids!
It was so cool to see everyone and meet all the new babies that we
hadn’t seen yet! We are definitely going to have to make it a yearly thing.
We
dove home (9! hours) on Monday and had bought some cheap tickets to a Braves
vs. Giants game in San Francisco. Poor Cooper did so good in the car but I
think he has happy to be home now not in the car for a little while. The game
was hot and we lost but it was still fun.
We also made a trip to Sacramento to go to the temple. We stayed with The Walkers for the night and
they were able to watch Cooper for us while we went. Then we got together with them and another
set of old college friends for dinner that night. Cooper loved being able to
visit with his friend Isaac and Levi and Sophia! We might have to make that a monthly trip.
