Gramma's Back

On Monday Jan 2nd we went to Utah to drop Nathan off and to pick up Gramma. Nathan went to Boston for a week for a National Math Conference. It was a huge conference and a great opportunity for him to interview and network for a job. He had one interview with Georgia University and an unexpected interview with The University of the Virgin Islands. He put his application out to one of the math boards and the Virgin Islands contacted him. With Hannah needed to see a neurologist, we don't feel like we should move to the Virgin Islands but it was a little fun to think about it.

Luckily, I wasn't left only with four kids and my mom was able to come out. We still stayed with our normal routine but it was fun to share it with my mom. We did some form of exercising almost everyday. Mom taught me two weigh routines to do at the gym. It's intimidating to try to lift weights and do lunges with all the guys around who are into serious body building, but the more I do it the easier it gets. The kids love to play at the gym.

In the afternoon, the kids got some Gramma craft/game time. They love the one on one time as gramma helped them individually with a puzzle or craft. It also reduced their tv time significantly.

On Saturday, we went to Idaho Falls so I could go to the Temple. Gramma took the kids to play at the mall. I really enjoyed the break and don't make it to the Temple very often.

Unfortunately, Gramma got pretty sick on Sunday and had to go to the doctors.

Nathan came back around 1:00am Monday morning and gramma stayed around to go to Robert and Hailey's dance recital Tuesday night. We then took her to the bus on Wednesday which it is always hard to see her go. 

We were running errands yesterday and Robert asked where we were going. I told him JoAnn's. He promptly told me he didn't want to go to JoAnn's and wanted to go to Gramma's house. After I tried to explain that we couldn't because we need to take an airplane to get there. He decided he wants to be a pilot so he can fly the airplane to Grammas house.  He was very bummed that we couldn't go right then.
