A little time off

Steve's family hadn't seen Rex since he was 6 weeks old. We thought it would be nice to go visit. So Steve took an overdue vacation and we went to see them. They live in Las Vegas but both Monique and "Big" Nate (little Nate is Steve's little brother) work in St. George. We stayed at his grandparents home while they too were off on a vacation.

It was just the five of us, Steve, Rex, Monique, Nate, and me. We wish we could have seen Krystal, Mike, Tyson, and Nathan. We'll have to plan another trip.

It was nice to have some time to sit around and visit. We got caught up on some much needed sleep and of course some shopping.


Our second night there we went over to Steve's aunt Melissa's and Ned's home for some pizza and Guitar Hero. Steve attempted and passed his first expert song. He was pretty proud of himself.


Steve has a ton of homework so the idea was that he would get it all done while we were there. That didn't happen. I think he only worked on it for about an hour at the most. But he did get some quality time in with Rex and that is more important than school.
