Also this last week we got to go to St. Louis for a little mini trip. It kind of got planned last minute as Nick was trying to get someone to cover his call for him and it wasn't covered until the day before we left, but either way it was fun. We went to the Temple before it closed for cleaning for a few weeks, which was nice and then got a hotel for the night to have a little party. The girls were SO excited for the pool. I think we seriously spent 1 1/2 to 2 hours in the pool/hot tub. Kayley and Cora actually got in the hot tub with me and Kayley decided that she now loves hot tubs! This was Rex's first time in his little floaty device and he seemed like he had a blast watching the girls play! He did splash a little bit in the water, but he was really tired!
As you can see from this picture as he's about to fall asleep sitting up...poor guy! But he stayed awake the whole time while the girls played and then slept great at the hotel! Then the next morning Nick was very sweet and got up and went to go get us McDonald's breakfast and brought it back for us to eat in the hotel room (the hotel sadly didn't have breakfast, which is one of my favorite things to do in a hotel, don't know why, but it is!) So I was REALLY appreciative that Nick went out and did that for us!
Then we went to a few stores in St. Louis and made our way home, but on the way we stopped in Columbia to see our newest nephew/cousin Brady. Cora was so excited to hold him. Kayley was excited to see him, but for some reason didn't want to hold him.
He's already very expressive!!
And he's SO tiny compared to chunky cousin, Rex! Quentin about broke his back picking him up! Rex just loved playing with Butters...he absolutely loves dogs! Butters was very cooperative letting Rex play with him too.
Then we started to head home, but decided to stop at Pizza Hut (because my husband loves me so much again!) as this is one of my favorite places to eat! (Don't worry, he got one of his favorite meals the night before with Chick-fil-a!) Kayley the night before got her tooth knocked looser a bit from Daddy once again! He was playing with them, holding them up and dancing, etc and I guess she hit her mouth on Daddy's leg, knocking one of her already loose teeth a bit looser. So as she's complaining/tired at Pizza Hut about not wanting to eat pizza for lunch, she says to me with a disgusted look on her face, "This pizza has peanuts in it!" Then tries to pull the 'peanut' out of her mouth only to find it's her tooth. She was again a bit upset as she doesn't like losing her teeth as it hinders her eating, etc (I can relate as I remember feeling this way as a kid), but the tooth fairy did come and give her $2, so she was excited to put that money away to save up for a toy! Another funny thing Kayley said yesterday about Rex, "Mom he got cute from the cute factory in your belly!" She will also say things like, "Mom he's so cute I want to die!" And then she'll ask me, "Mom, when you look at him, doesn't it make you want to go to Heaven?" (spin off of her previous favorite thing to say about Rex making her want to die.)
