vacations and the work it takes.
Josh really needed a break from work, so we went out to visit his mom and step dad in Colorado for the last week in February. We drove out there and Jerron did pretty well. Our little Chihuahua Toby had a hard time staying in one spot, even with the sedative we gave him, in fact he was kind of like a mean drunk. If the sun moved from where he was laying he would crawl over the seat and lay on Brutis, who did not appreciate it but did nothing more than give him a growl once in a while. Brutis did not need a sedative because he doesn't move much anyway. We learned our lesson though, Toby does not do well on sedative, he did much better on the way back without any.
The first day we were there Jerron was able to stay at grandma and grandpa's house with grandma while Josh, Scott and I went had Pedicures. It was my first ever and it was pretty cool, the man who did mine knew Paula and was very nice, he lit up when he realized who josh was because Paula must have been talking about him, he said, "oh, you're the son that is moving out here." Not quite, but at least we know that is what Paula would like. Ha ha. Then Joshua and I had a couples massage, which was nice.
Scott said later that night, "the electronics must know when someone who knows how to work with them, because they just get nervous and stop working." By the end of the trip we had replaced one tv, 2 laptops, their surround sound system, their modem and router, and installed a new Blu-Ray player. It was pretty to pick out some awesome stuff for them and they were pretty impressed with the new toys, especially the surround sound and Blu-Ray.
I thought Jerron was coming down with another ear infection on what was originally going to be our last day, thankfully it turned out he was just teething. The last full day we were there I ended up having food poisoning or something, drank some hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting, that was horrid. Never want to do that again.
It was really fun to see Jerron play with his aunts and uncles. It is so funny because they seem more like cousins because of the age differences. He really enjoyed when the music therapist came over and he was able to play the drums and everything. Between the music session and the play room we aren't sure he loved the most.
The dogs loved the attention! Toby made really good buddies with Kamar. This was surprising because Kamar does not usually like animals, but he loved to follow Toby and hug him. I did do photo shoots for all the kids, and the dogs ended up being in a few with them.
Now we are back to normal life, it is hard to adjust back. My least favorite part is the packing and unpacking. But it was worth it. Josh needed the break and he was able to pick up a few massage techniques he wants to incorporate in his practice.
We are happy to announce that Josh will be taking his nationals so he will be able to finally do a massage business in Utah. He travels to home to get massages in the comfort of your own home, making it more convenient and saving you from arranging for care for your child while you get a massage. We have decided on the name Balance Touch Massage. We are still working on a motto, so if you have suggestions feel free to shoot them our way.
Jerron is working on his little vocabulary, but so far does not week too worried about it. He can now say mama, dada, daddy, cool, no, yeah, and other words that no one else would understand but his mama. He likes to make monkey sounds and growling like a bear. He loves to pet his animals and especially loves when Toby will play ball with him.
This Jerron is such a joy in our lives! Never could I have imagined the love I feel for this little man. It still amazes me to look at him and try to comprehend that we created him, and it is hard to imagine life without him. We are just so grateful for him and the ways he has enhanced our lives. He truly is a gift from god.
We have been very blessed with so many things. To have a steady income, health coverage, a home, animals, family, friends and the gospel are such great blessings we hope we will always appreciate them.
