Vegas Highs and Lows

Highs

Driving to Las Vegas with my sweet little family
Having 6+ hours to talk/laugh/dream with Aaron (while driving)
Hyrum being the perfect little traveler, hardly making a peep of complaint
Playing word games in the car with Aaron
Making home videos at Elizabeth's house
Seeing Sushi
Lazy mornings talking to Elizabeth and watching the boys play in the playroom
Cheesecake factory at 10:00 p.m. with Elizabeth and Jayar
Spending the day with Aaron on the strip (with no baby!)
Elizabeth babysitting for us, twice
Perusing the Art Gallery of Impressionist paintings
Hyrum going to sleep for the night at 6:00 p.m. because of the time change
Watching Aaron finally relax after months of constant go (He golfed with Jayar two mornings and even got some reading in.)
Watching Hyrum discover the joys of slides at the park
Making Navaho tacos (yummy)
Going to Costco with Sushi and Liz
Changing Hyrum's messy diaper and finding a bright red previous digested game piece amongst the contents
Buying jeans for me and Aaron that actually fit and don't have holes
Watching Hyrum's delight in his cousins
Just having a change of scene and a break
The peaceful drive home

Lows

Sleeping through Hyrum crying in the night (Ooops!, I only found this out the next morning when I joyfully boasted to Elizabeth that "Hyrum finally slept through the night again after a 2+ week hiatus." To which she tenderly replied "Um, he was crying when we came upstairs...we had to close our door so that he wouldn't wake Luke.")
Staying up late and waking up early
Wanting to, but never waking up early enough to go with Liz to the gym
Spending more than we planned
Hyrum waking up in the morning at 6:00 a.m. because of the time change
Wasting time lazing around
Eating more than we should have
Breaking out (yes, zits)
Not seeing Susannah as much as we would have liked
Hyrum waking up in the middle of the night
Once again, planning to, but not going to Hoover Dam
Leaving early and missing the dinner at "Rosemary's" with Mom and Dad and the gang

Come back !!! We miss you guys. We had so much fun. Luke says "Hy-um" by himself without any prompts when we walk past Hyrum picture on the corkboard. Oh well, I'll just have to call.
