Cabin Trip...

Orrin and I were lucky enough to make a 5-day long trip up to Alturas and stay at the Callen Family Cabin. We spent the vacation with Grandma Sandra, Auntie Manda (and all the kids,) Anne and Rob's family, and a little of Papa Tash! Rob had borrowed a friends boat and I was able to do quite a bit of wakeboarding (which I have missed very much)!!! Orrin was okay on the boat, but HATED his life vest!! We were able to spend a lot of time just hanging out on the beach and enjoying to beautiful mountain air. Like I mentioned in my earlier post Orrin is not walking, so that was pretty difficult with many bad things to trip on or get into, luckily we had no injuried! The last day we were there we made a trip down to Redfish where we layed in the sun, and Orrin actually played in the water. We went on a paddle boat and floated around on a little blow-up toy! We very much enjoyed ourselves, but we were very happy to get home to daddy!!! Here are some fun pictures of the trip!

My sister, her friend, Orrin and I all took a road trip up to Salt Lake City to find my sister a prom dress. We stayed over night at Little America and had a great time. We drove up Tuesday and Orrin surprisingly was pretty good for the whole three hour drive. We did some shopping went out to eat at Olive Garden, swam that night, then woke up to an all day prom dress shopping marathon. We ate at a cool Brazilian restaurant, (I don't know what Todd is complaining about eating that stuff on his mission, I would eat it every day for two years if I could!) Luckily found the dress and came home. We took tons of pictures of the great trip!

Todd and I were blessed again this year to get to go to Cabo San Lucas for a week. We are so grateful of my sister-in-law and my parents that offered to watch Orrin the whole time we were gone. We thought for sure we were going to bring him, but last minute they all decided together it would be better for us to be able to go alone. We left the day after Valentine's and spent Sunday through Sunday there. I missed Orrin as soon as we left and felt like such a bad mommy for leaving him, but quickly realized the trip wouldn't be as good as it could be if all I did was miss Orrin. We were lucky my mother and father-in-law were down there with their computer and we got to see Orrin over the web-cam. We spent the week with them, Brad, Amanda, and Jenny. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to go again next year. Todd, his dad, and brother got to go deep sea fishing and enjoyed it for the most part. We got to go zip-lining which was so much fun and I am so proud of Toddey for doing it (he is very afraid of heights.) We also met a family down there that had a son the same age as Orrin. They we on the way to go to eat dinner every night selling chicklets and little things so we would stay and chat for quite a while. It helped with me missing Orrin to see a little baby about the same age. I wish I could have brought him home with me, I fell madly in love with him!! I am so blessed to have a husband that can give me the luxury of leaving for a week. It is much needed for him, and I enjoy it to. When we got back I went to get Orrin and he cried when I tried to hold him, I was even more sad than I was when I left.
