James and I were lucky to have both of our parents in town these past 2 weeks, so that has been great. It's nice to have family time to look forward to after a long day at work. Mom was so great to buy us goodies from Shirley's Bakery and everywhere else she could think of. DELICIOUS! If you live in Utah and you haven't had Shirley's cinnamon, raspberry, orange, or blueberry rolls, then you need to go... tomorrow. We also got to spend quality time watching the Olympics and to eat out every night. Now THAT is something I appreciate.
I most enjoyed Pizzeria Seven Twelve on State St. It's too "girly" for James's taste, but I thought it was delicious! Then, two of the nights Mom was here, she let me stay with her in her hotel while James and the Paxton guys went on a man trip in the mountains. James came back a true mountain man (see picture below). Mom loves to spoil us, and I don't think she had such a bad time herself being away from responsibilities and all that. Thanks Dad! I know how hard it is for him to have her gone. =)
Well, this is after he "shaped" his beard. Then in perfect timing, James's parents came in town the day after my mom left. We had a picnic in the park with cousins, and took a tour through his aunt's house, which is so old (newly renovated now) that it has leftover pieces of granite from the Salt Lake Temple as part of its exterior. The next day, we had a lovely plan to go to Park City with James's brother's family and his parents; however, I guess I should've known the 1st week of school would make me sick! I was pretty sad about my weekend being taken away from me, so I made myself go with James to Salt Lake to watch them eat tons of meat at Tucanos. You know I'm sick when I don't find food appetizing. James's parents still paid for the mandarin oranges and rolls I ate. So nice. Here we all are after lunch...

I heard poor James and Marc should have traded cabins . . . James stuck with all the "snorers" and Marc the sole "snorer" in his cabin. At least James gave Marc the smart idea to sleep in the kitchen. Now if I could only get Marc to sleep in the kitchen here! That is absolutely HORRIBLE about your class size, you must be in the Nebo School District like my sister was! At least you have a light at the end of the tunnel . . . your LAST YEAR!!!!
Man Christie...33 kids, are you kidding me! They better get a new teacher because that is torture. I'm glad you were able to have fun with family though and I hope you're starting to feel better.
