We had a nice time, and Mia was surprisingly calm on the 7 hour drive, although she had a fever on the way there and for the first 2 days, so that sedated her quite a bit. It was great meeting new family members, including the other Jennifer Klentzman (now Jennifer Dean so I am for now the one and only if you can believe that out of all of these relatives there was only 1 jennifer... how is that possible when everyone else I know in my entire life is named Jennifer?)
Mia absolutely LOVES fishing. Luckily, this pole came with its own fish attached, but she spent all the time she could at the water casting and reeling!
And a picture of Mia and I cooking in our cute as buttons matching aprons that Jenny sent us! I wear mine all the time now just because it is so cute, and Mia wore hers to Walmart with her houseshoes, of course.
So my little teenager told me the other day after an extensive fit-throwing, screaming kicking event in the car when I told her to behave or she was going to get in huge trouble when we got home that, and I quote, "NO. YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME!" to which I responded, oh yeah, well that is funny coming from someone who can't do anything for themselves... I could put you in time out, I could spank you, or I could just not feed you anymore so you had better watch your mouth. I know, not the most mature thing to do I admit, but never before have I actually wanted to wring her little neck like I did in that moment. Boy are we in for a mouthy next 20 years... we both really need this next baby to be a boy just to reduce the amount of attitude and hormones in our household! The cashier at this kids store in Salt Lake told us that the two times in a woman's life she is filled with the most hormones are during pregnancy and between the ages of 2 and 4, so poor Rexy-poo needs a nice quiet football buddy I think! More later... I have Reece (Mia's 4 year old cousin) and her today, so I am a bit tired out. I am already second guessing the desire to have a boy and we've just had him since last night...
