So we are finally back from SLC! I haven't drove there by myself in over 5 years, yes I am a chicken, but my mom and I made it there alive on Tuesday night! The shooting of Mystery Diagnosis was a little harder and more time consuming than I thought, but it was fun to help my sister out! On Wednesday I watched my sister do alot of silly acting, but none of it was really as funny as I thought it would be, mainly because she was reinacting events that were serious and sad. Caleb was such a good sport though, he had to cry alot and be a little sleep deprived the first day. At the end of the day I think we all were ready to hit the sack!
On the second day we spent the whole day at Primary Children's Hospital. Being there again was a little weird especially for Amber and James...you both are the strongest people I know!! Caleb dressed up like a baby girl again (poor kid) and we hooked him up to a couple machines and the shooting began. He was a great little actor...at times James even called him an over actor (He did the crying scenes very well)! At one point I even got to stand next to my sister and pretend to be praying--which we did alot of when Averi was in the hospital.
So overall I now have 2 famous children and one extrodinary famous sister! She did great! I have a new respect for Amber because seeing Caleb have to act like a sick baby was very scary and almost more than I could handle, luckily I knew it was just pretend.
We also just recently had Stake Conference and I actually took something from it! Ben, Caleb and I went to the adult meeting on Saturday night. The speakers talked alot about the importance of family. Jeffery R. Holland said "We don't bear children to raise them, we bear them to save them." This hit home for me. I vowed after that to be a better mommy to my two little babies! We are trying harder to spend time as a family, so we'll see how it goes this week.

Jess,
I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate you! I am sorry I tortured little Caleb so much. He is so adorable, I'm glad we got to bond more. You are the best sister!
Love,
Me
Wow, sounded like quite the weekend. ...I just had a funny thought; if Caleb looks just like Ben, and poor little Caleb had to be dressed as a girl.... then is it correct to say that Ben was dressed as a girl over the weekend!? I did see him with Elisa's masscara on once....
You changed your blog!!! You need to teach me some awesome blogging skills!
Wow! That looks so crazy...I can't even imagine what it's like to go through something like that and just pretending with my own baby would be hard. I bet he was a cute little girl....but he really looks so much like a boy I can't quite imagine it! :)
