Big Weekend

We sure had a big weekend. Tucker went to Milwalki and Chicago to take pictures on Thursday night and got in around 1am this morning. I had a law forum for work all day saturday, and when I got home the Wallace family, (Tucker's Mom's family) was a having a big party at the lodge. So I went straight to that and tried to be as social as possible going on little sleep since Weston had not had a good night the night before.

It was really fun to see everyone and I was so sad the Tucker wasn't able to be there to catch up with them all. Shadra and Patrick, Tucker's sister and brother were in town for the weekend so we had fun playing cards with them last night until Tucker got home.

This morning was church so we got up and went and as soon as I walked in the door I started feeling pretty sick, like pregnancy sick, cause I am.

So Grandpa Jerome helped watch out for Weston while Tucker taught his class, and then I got feeling good enough to change his diaper and walk around a bit with him.

He does this thing where he grabs your hand and pushes it in the direction he wants you to go to move something, or show him something. He was fixated on the fire alarm. The alarm had a plastic cover over it and he kept pushing my hand to the alarm. So I was showing him by touching the plastic that there is a plastic cover over it so no one accidentally sets it off. I figured it was probably on there pretty tight so you would have to really mean it if you wanted to open it. Apparently not! I bumped the bottom of it and it popped off!!! No big deal I thought, I'll just put it back. This was a very quick thought though, because not less than a fraction of a second latter, the fire alarm started going off!! Loud throughout the whole building! Everyone started walking out of classrooms into the misty fall day, luckily it had stopped raining for the time being.

I was pretty embarrassed but didn't know how to help, so I took my then freaked out baby outside and covered his ears until they were able to figure out how to turn it off.

Tucker, Weston and I were both done at that point, so we came back to the farm house and Tucker hung out with Patrick and Shadra while Weston and I took a little nap. Then we spent the afternoon singing Karaoke with the Beesley's it was very entertaining.

Shadra and Patrick left to go back to their respective cities around 5 pm so we took our little family home too and laid down for another nap around 6. Weston and Tucker were so out of it, I figured might as well let them sleep, so now I have finished the laundry, dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and finished my little saga on the big weekend.

Oh and Leilani and Rob got sealed this weekend in SLC and although we couldn't be there, I got minute by minute by minute picture updates courtesy of Terri! So in a way I feel like I kinda got to be there. Thank you Terri!
