Easter Weekend

I want to start with last Wednesday, when I took Stetson in for his first set of shots. I know, I am a little late, but better late than never. I have to say that it was probably harder on me than it was on him, as he is a very tough little guy, he only cried for about three minutes. As you can see, he was pretty impressed with his snoopy band-aids.

On Friday we went with my sister, Candice, her three kids, and four of my siblings to the Rec Center in Cortez. It was a lot of fun, especially at first because we were some of the only ones there. Stetson loved the water, and proved to be quite the little fish. His favorite activity was the lazy river, so we went round and round. It amazed me how relaxed he was in the water. Then, when we had to get out of the water for ten minutes, he went right to sleep!

Saturday afternoon we drove down to San Juan Hill. It's pretty sad that I have lived here almost all my life, and have never been there! We met my family down at the Riverhouse Ruins. I am a typical first-time mom, and forgot to bring sunscreen, or a hat, or anything else to protect my baby from the sun. My mom, however, is a very experienced mom. She got a paper towel and some yarn from her truck and made Stetson a little hat. He looked so cute - and he didn't get sunburned. He did get a little too much air, followed by a tummy ache. Since Kenny had already hiked up San Juan Hill, he tended Stetson in the car while I hiked up with my family. It is really amazing to think that the pioneers made it up that hill with horses and wagons! I am sure they had some help from above.

Sunday just happened to be my birthday, along with Easter. Kenny made us a yummy breakfast, and Stetson found his Easter basket. He was more impressed with the basket than anything that was in it! After church we had a wonderful dinner with all of my family. Overall, it was a great weekend! Happy Easter!
