Quick Trip to Cedar City

On Sunday, we made a quick trip to Cedar City to go the baby blessing of our new niece Sydnee. After church, we went to the park to eat and visit with all the family. There was so much good food and it was so nice to see everyone and catch up. The weather was really nice and the kids had so much fun just being able to run and play with all their cousins. We don't get a chance to do that very often so they live it up when we do. I, however, was not the best photographer, I was to busy visiting with everyone. But of course, when you have that many kids running around, there is usually someone that winds up with some kind of injury, and this trip, Brendan was the lucky one.

He had been swinging and then he came running across the grass with blood running down his face. He apparently either fell or jumped from the swing, but landed on his face and skidded across the dirt. His nose is all scraped up, swollen, bruised, his lip is fat, and I'm just waiting for the black eyes to appear. He was pretty tough, once was we got him all cleaned up, he was ready to go again. The poor kid looks like he's been through battle though. Especially since a couple nights before this, he cut he foot open on the plug cover on our toy room floor and has had to wear a big bandage on it. He has wounds literally from head to toe. Poor kid! Life is really tough when you're three.

It was a fun day and the kids were all worn out. It's so nice to be able to turn them loose and just let them run. I just wish we could all get together a little more often, although, I could live without the injuries.
