So Reid got a bit sick when my dad was here. He started acting really grumpy, drooling a lot, and he had a bit of a fever. No big deal. Then he got these red marks on his face. I thought that was a little unusual, so I called the nurse and she said it was a strain of the herpes virus that kids get in the spring. HERPES??!!! Apparently it's just a severe case of cold sores, and when kids get it for the first time they get really sick. When I took this picture I thought this was as bad as it would get. Not so. Reid got at least fifteen red marks on his face that turned into pus-filled cold sores. Gross. I didn't want to take a picture because it was so disgusting! We then noticed that he had countless sores in his mouth. The poor kid was completely miserable. Of course, it's super contagious so we had to keep him quarantined for three weeks! He as a trooper though, and now he is back to his cheery self eating his full weight in food each day!

Fun Times
So May has flown by for us. We had both of my parents come for a visit, Nate's summer school has been crazy, and Reid and I have both been sick. I gotta say though, I have been blessed with wonderful parents! I am so glad that I got a chance to see them both. I have missed them so much being down here! There are both so loving and helpful, and I don't know where I would be in life without their support. I think Reid feels pretty lucky too!
Papa Comes to Visit!
As soon as my mom left, my dad flew in for a visit as well. We are just so popular! We had a really good time, but unfortunately Reid and I both got sick, and because Nate is so busy with school my dad had to take care of us. What a good guy, and what a lame way to spend your vacation! We still had plenty of fun though. Apparently too much fun.
Reid and my dad and I went on a hike to test out the hiking backpack my mom got us. I have always wanted one of these, and was so excited to give it a test run. It was wonderful! I plan on doing a lot of hiking this summer!
At the top of the trail having a snack.
I love this picture. I think Reid looks so much like Nate here!
On the way down my dad carried him, and he must have some kind of soothing power because Reid totally zonked!
I didn't take any pictures on our sick day, but we went to the park just before my dad had to leave, and Reid just loved swinging with Papa!
Higher Papa!

Higher Papa!We were so sad to see my dad go. He is always so helpful and thoughtful. He mowed our lawn, cleaned up our yard, and took us out to eat several times. He is such a great dad and Grandpa! We love him so much!
Nana Comes to Visit!
Horray, horray Nana came to visit. We had a such a great time! We did so many fun things, and she totally spoiled us ( as Nanas are prone to do!). Before she got here she went to California with a friend, and brought us all back some goodies. My personal favorite? She went to build-a-bear and made Reid his own personalized dog named Pesca (after a fictional dog I used to write stories about as a kid). Reid loves it, and so do I!
Nana got Reid a summer wardrobe, and here he is modeling my new favorite shirt.
We went up to Sundance and had a blast. This place is totally up my mom's alley. I think she wants to live here now in hopes of catching a glimpse of none other than Mr. Robert Redford himself.
The restaurant food was delicious as you can see.
"Nana, will you pleeease get me some baby uggs? All of my friends have them." And so she did. More on those later.
Yay for water.
We were sad to see her go. Nana sure knows how to show us a good time!

More peek-a-boo
So, I actually got some good pictures of Reid playing his favorite game. I'm sorry, but I just have to do one of those annoying "I think my kid is the cutest rants." We have taught Reid how to say "I love you," and it's the cutest thing ever. Although it sounds more like "I um yuooo," I do love it so.
This is my favorite. What a happy little lad.

Does this look like Focaccia bread to you?
So, I tried to make my own focaccia bread the other day, and this is what I came up with. It looks more like garlic mashed potatoes to me. It's OK to laugh.
