The Roylance Family: The end of a great vacation!

The end of a great vacation!

Okay, so it wasn't exactly OUR vacation, but it felt like one the past few weeks! Joseph's sister Sarah and her family have been staying with us since Aug. 6th, and we have had so much fun with them! Ethan LOVES their kids, especially Hayden. They played together every waking minute. Our home has been filled with so much fun, laughter, sleeping babies, late nights of talking, extra dishes, laundry, and "coldie" chicken nuggets. (Their daughter Rebecca likes frozen chicken nuggets, much to Sarah's dismay!) They left this morning to head back to Vegas, and our home seems so empty and quiet, except for Ethan crying a little because he misses his cousins so much. We had a wonderful time, and miss them already!

Jerry and Sarah said...: I think I need to add a little extra money for this great post! We had so much fun. Hayden and Rebecca were so sad to leave your house. And I was so sad to come home to a house where I actually have to clean up after myself. Hee hee! Thanks so much for the great vacation. Now I think I'll go grab a "coldie"; August 17, 2009 at 11:25 AM

Sitting at a restaurant with cousins, Ethan leaned over and called out, "Mommy, can I have ribs?" I was surprised by this because he doesn't like to try new foods. I said, "Sure, do you like ribs?" He replied, "Yeah, are they chicken nuggets?"

While walking into the mall, Ethan was playing "spies" with his Spiderman glasses and secret spy pen. He turned to me and in his best spy voice said,"All right my friend, I'll check and make sure the ghost is clear".

Tonight as I was tucking Ethan into bed he said he doesn't want to grow up and be on the Jazz. He just wants to be a kid and stay on his soccer team. I asked him why, and he replied, "I don't think they have treats after the game when you're big".

I was laughing with my sister-in-law Sarah today about how crazy life is with small children. I told her someday we'll look back and be sad that we don't have any little people to clean up after or run around after. Right then Ethan came and asked for a spoonful of frosting. I laughed and told Sarah, "Someday Ethan won't be asking for spoonfuls of frosting anymore". Just then, Ethan piped up, "Yeah, maybe someday I'll ask for a spoonful of peanut butter!"

While driving over to Joseph's sister Rebecca's home one night, I gave Ethan the usual prep before playing with cousins. I said,"Ethan, I want you to play really nice with Hayden and Melodee, okay, and share." Ethan replied," Okay, who's Sher?"

Every time Alex starts to cry, Ethan comes and pats his face and says, "it's okay, I'm here".

While at his four year checkup, Ethan said "Is the nurse going to shot me?"

We were saying prayers with Ethan the other night, and right in the middle of it he stopped praying. After a few seconds, I told him to keep going. He responded, "I can't. I am just a little kid. My name starts with an E and a R. So I can't say my prayers."
