Cousins and Swine Flu (By Pam)

A couple o' weeks ago we had Jack for a few hours, and let me tell you the kid is adorable.
I could eat him up!
After Toby and Sadie went to bed, he was playing cars with Dan,
Dan would help him crash a car and he would LAUGH his head off. Priceless!
I will say it's hard to get a candid shot of Jack
as soon as a camera is out he turns smiles and strikes a pose.
Come again SOON Jack!

Then an even bigger surprise...The Hyde boys were here for the weekend from sunny Florida.
Sarah and the boys flew in so Sarah could have a weekend out with her cute Mother-in-law and the Hyde girls in Park City. And just like when she came in February...rotten weather showed up the entire time! Arg!
I LOVE how Ezra and Ethan call me "Sister Pam"
Mom had them on Thursday night
Debbie on Friday night
And they spent Saturday night with us :-)
The Hadleys brought them down to us after our Primary activity and stayed and played for a little bit. It was awesome to play with the Hadleys too.
Dan got pretty sick after building the trampoline in the rain and snow and was quarantined to bed, while I chased cousins and kitties.
Ethan LOVES the cats, and it's really cute to watch him chase them around.

You can tell that Ezra is an oldest child and he and Toby would butt heads a little bit, but I'm sure it was good for both of them. (They can both be punks)
It was awesome to see the Hydes, we totally LOVE those boys and hope they come back soon with Jesse and some of the Florida Sun.


So Dan has still been pretty sick, he is covering for another co-worker as is, and worked through it yesterday, but has been pretty miserable. Then Toby came down with a mild case of it yesterday and missed school. Today, they both seem a lot better.
I'm crossing my fingers and praying that it continues to skip me and Sadie. (So far, so good)

And then Dan tells me yesterday, that one of his bosses family's
(Dan works with both the husband and wife)
has been in Mexico for Spring Break, and their son now has all the symptoms of swine flu and they are getting worried about him. LOVELY! Praying for his sake and for the rest of us, that it turns out to be something else.

Fun to see so many cousins, but scary that everyone might have been exposed. If Dan is feeling better hopefully it was just one of your run-o'-the-mill illnesses.
I'm glad Sarah got to get out and have some child-free fun, even in bad weather.
Thanks for the photos! Cute cousins!
CUTE!! Dan is a GREAT sport to stay up and play with Jack! But with that kid who WOULDN'T want to play car crash! FUN COUSINS! Can't believe how much everyone is growing up!!

We didn't even know about Sarah and the boys coming until we read your blog. So sad we missed them. But it looks like pure cousin heaven for all the little ones.
