Joe's work gave us tickets to Saturdays Jazz game, so we drove up there on Friday and spent the night with my brother, Alma, his wife, Matti and their kids Bella and Oliver.
We all had a great time with them, but especially Brenna and Braelynn. They are about a month older than Bella, so they get along great. They spent most of their time in Bella's dress-ups, complete with wands, wings and shoes that she was so good about sharing. When it was time to go, it was late Saturday evening, so exhaustion combined with not wanting to leave, we had three sad little girls and lots of tears. We left with promises of another sleepover on Friday. I can not count how many times I have been asked if it is time for Bella to sleep with us!
Matti is a nurse for the OB Airmed team and she took us up to her work to see the helicopter. That was cool, Joe loved it just as much or more than the kids.
The Jazz game was good, we had not been for a very long time, way before we had the twins, so it was really fun for us, it was nice to be just together, after a long week and weekend.
We really appreciate Matti and Alma for letting us stay with them and for being so good to us. Kudos to Alma, who watched all of our kids, plus his two while we were at the game!
We got home about 1:30 that morning, put sleeping kids in their beds and turned off our light about 2:00. Half an hour later, Braelynn wakes up saying she is hot and then an hour later, needing a drink, then saying her stomach hurt, and so on every 45minutes until 5:30 when she threw up all over her self and her bed! I put her in the tub to clean up her and her bed. Less than 5 minutes after throwing up she informs me that she feels all better now. I clean everything up, put her back to bed and crawl back into bed about 6:30, just in time to sleep for 1 1/2 hours before getting up for church. Fun.
