Elko and Eureka

Chris's grandma passed away this past Sunday, so Monday we headed down to Elko to say our goodbyes. It was a vary sad couple of days, but we all know she is in a better place now. It is always sad that it is the bad situations that bring people together, but it is always good to see family you do not get to see on a regular basis. It was good to see Chris' aunts and cousin Edna as wells as one of the newest members to the family baby Thomas (Edna's handsome baby boy). It was a very short trip, but Chris and I were very happy to be with family during this hard time.

Since we were in Nevada on Wednesday we decided to head to Eureka to see Nana's cousin Donna. The kids just call her Aunt Donna. They loved working in her diner for a night, and riding on the 4 wheeler. It was a good way to put a smile on all of our faces after a long day. Thank you Donna for having us!!

Bless Hope's little heart she was so sick the entire trip, but was such a little trooper. She tried with all her might to keep smiling, and to try to make everyone happy. Brady is still a little to young to completely understand what was going on so he was his hyper self the whole trip, well that is until Wednesday morning when he started throwing up. It made the trip back very long. Having two sick kids and a sweet little baby getting really tired of being in her car seat made a 4 1/2 hour trip an almost 6 1/2 hour trip :(


Even though she was so sick
she was still as cute as could be!Brady playing his psp and wearing his ghost busters shirt.
He said he had to wear it so Grandma Wright knew
he was not scared of her or her ghost, and that he still loved her!
I just love the way his little mind works.
Zoey thought the hotel was cool.... So much new stuff to get into!


Hope and Brady with what Brady called the
coolest fake man ever!
It was a wooden cowboy in our hotel in Elko
By the end of two very long days Zoey was ready to just go home!!
