sorry mom. goodness all she wanted was just one normal looking picture with her grandkids- is that too much to ask? im afraid so.
we saw this face a little too much this trip..
hmm. whatcha got there?

now this is a real photo shoot...
grandma actually fell onto that rock so we all just stood around her.. :) jk.
it was a little windy for hemmers hair
love this pic.
grandma with only some of her great grandchildren- there are lots more.
we are missing Maddie and Brody
visiting grandma crouse- love her.
dad was fixing a tree that fell down... he was holding it up from behind when he asked us, "is it straight.." - i laughed so hard... um. no.
well.. as most of you already know... Maddex and i made a trip back home to visit my family. it was an interesting trip. i wouldn't really say we had a ton of fun.. we never really got the chance to.. but what i will say- is that it was so nice to be with my family... to be able to see them and be around them -even if it was laying around all day- we still had a nice time. Maddex and i got really sick while we were back there. we took Maddex to urgent care on thursday- the verdict was an ear infection. that night M. started vomitting- the came a fever and dehydration. friday, cousins Jen and Stac came to visit. friday night, mom and i took M to the E.R.... oh what a long night- thanks again mom. im grateful for you- i wouldn't have wanted anyone else there with me- (so scary without Tanner). M got an IV and some medicine. saturday, i was sick all day- (no details please). sunday, less vomitting. monday, still sickies. yet i insisted that we make the trip to gabes- yes well- it wasn't the trip i had dreamed about... (just ask Maddie :). tuesday, lots of meds- anti-d...zofran...tylenol & some pepto. then it was on the plane and off to vegas.
OK.. since i got out all the grubby stuff that happened- i have to say- it was so nice to see my cousins. it was so sweet of them to come into town and visit. like always, we had a great time.. just relaxing. the kids all played so well together- it reminds me of when i was younger, playing with my cousins. it was nice to be able to visit with my grandma crouse and to go through all the family pictures with her. i love my grandma crouse- i dont get the chance to show her enough, but i do. shauna and i talk 100 times a day- so i don't feel like we live far from each other... i practically know everything that goes on. i wish everyday though that we lived right beside each other- it would be waaay more fun than ichat. it was so great to be at Bmans 1st birthday. i will always be so glad that i was able to be there for that- considering i'm not there for a lot. thanks again for having it while i was home. i just love going home.. yes, i call pa home...and vegas..vegas. when i was on my death bed (not literally)frustrated and upset i said to my dad- i just want to go back home- knowing exactly what i needed- he then reminded me, "andrea, you are home." i loved every 500 kisses that Maddie gave me- and the "out of nowhere i love you's". she is my sweetheart- we will never replace each other (as i often fear) we share something special. out of all- my favorite thing was seeing my grandma. she makes me so happy... she is my best friend. i can't imagine making a trip back home and her not being there- i get so excited to see her when i go back- i love nothing more than her playing with my toes in the car :). lastly- my parents... not being around them i sometimes forget all that they do, but when i visit- i am reminded why they are such wonderful parents. i was so grateful for the priesthood blessing my dad was able to give Maddex and i. he is such an amazing dad. thanks again for always picking me up dad. my mom- simply the most amazing mother i know, not to mention a great new photographer :). she is so smart. i feel so lucky to be able to learn from her. she drives me crazy sometimes... not going to lie... but i absolutely love her to death... and love being around her. i wish i could be more. i love going home... i miss it.
well... there ya' go, that was our trip in a nutshell... a big one that is.

Aww I'm sorry you guys were so sick on your fun trip...that's scary you had to take Maddex to the E.R. You guys were throwing up?? Um, no thanks. I'm going to be a terrible mom. Hahaha! I'm glad you guys are back safe and healthy though. Seeing these pictures makes me miss you guys even more! Seriously...call me and let's hang out! I'm getting my braces next week so you need to see me one more time before then so you don't forget that I'm actually not too ugly for Landry. Hahaha ok now I just sound like an idiot. bye.
Great post! Besides the sickness, it looks like you had an amazing trip. And I totally started laughing out loud at the picture and post of your dad putting that tree up 'straight'. Gosh, that brings back so many memories of laughing frenzies w/the Crouse/Krause's. Your family is so hilarious!
