Weekend in St. George

The kids and I are at my mom's house in St. George UT. I came down a few weeks ago with my sister for my mom's birthday. That was the logest I have ever been away from all my kids at once! (we were here 2 days) Anyway, my mom's horse had a baby the day before her birthday, so I wanted to bring the kids back to see her. We were going to come back the very next weekend after I got back, but Afa's aunt was going to be in town for a wedding, so we stayed to visit with her. Then the next week I had picked up shifts over the weekend. So we had to wait a few weeks, and now there are two baby colts! The neigbor's horse also had a baby from my mom's stalion.
It's Monday now, and we've been here since Friday. On Saturday we got to see my aunt and uncle (my mom's brother) who were here to see my cousin who lives in my mom's ward. My sister Genasee and her husband Rich got here Saturday night on their way home from Yuma, AZ, where they were visiting Rich's parents. Saturday was Genasee's birthday, so we made a birthday dinner and cake. Mostly we've just been hanging around at my mom's house. A few times my two brothers who live two blocks away came by.
Genasee and Rich left today, and the kids and I are going to be leaving in a few hours. Afa is very nervous about me driving, but he couldn't come with us because he has to work. He is now working in Jackson Hole WY, so he wont be home all week. Sometimes it's hard when he works out of town, but I'm happy that he's working. It helps a lot that his sister Fa'atonu is living with us, so I don't have to worry about the kids while I work.
I promise that I am going to post some pictures on here soon. I don't have my camera wih me, I just wanted to take advantage of the internet while I'm here.
