hawaii, vomit, and everything in between

welcome back shawn,darcy,orin,and the pattersons in encinitas! heard your trip was fabulous-then i wouldn't expect anything less since you were in hawaii. it's so nice to live out your dreams through loved ones! (if it were up to mason we'd be living in hawaii like yesterday) we've enjoyed hearing of all the fun things you did and saw while in paradise. not to mention all the delicious food you ate-wish we were there. someday we'll make it back(mason is quite determined) we've had an eventful week ourselves with the kids getting sick starting with sila on monday-she threw up chinese food we had the night before(it's not your fault carrie!) then nani followed suit(without the crying and drama) and lastly mese ended the week with a bang-we were up(actually mason was up with him) last night(and the night before)-i don't know, 3 times with mese crying about how he didn't feel good and he couldn't make it to the bathroom to throw up-i guess we're just not meant to get more than 4 hours of sleep at a time. such is life. today we had our relief society enrichment birthday brunch and it was a breath of fresh air! i'm so glad i went(even with a sick son-sorry everyone). mason and shawn are helping randy mart move today so i dragged the kids to church with me and i think they did fine-hopefully no one will get the bug that's going around our home(and other homes i hear). and poor little orin even got sick-but was still a trooper and smiled and laughed and played. so, another week another dollar and i've got to go-i hear something buzzing in mese's room and i'm afraid to see what it is!
