i looked good...

...with 9 kids! kidding. my kids were in heaven this past weekend with their cousins getting to stay with us. parker and quincy missed school friday, and so did david, calee, cooper and molly, so we headed to the zoo. i definitely got stared at, but i didn't care. i did have d3 and calee to help also...so it wasn't bad. they were all so good, never ran off or got lost. although cons did get stuck on the other side of the gate at the petting zoo, and was brought to me in tears by a zoo worker. we rode the carousel and then made it safely back home with all 9. thank goodness for the 12 packer... we also swam at val vista lakes; i know all the tricks for getting kids nice and tired. the lap pool is heated, and it was a nice day. the kids had so much fun we did it again the next day. we all fell asleep before the byu game even started at 9pm. i was exhausted and so were the kids. since it was stake conference we headed to church with grandma cheryl, and when we got out everyone was safely home from vegas!
