Labor Day weekend

swinging away!

 Over Labor day weekend we got the opportunity to head up to Scott's family cabin.  Scott wanted to go hunting, and we realized that Rivers had never been up there.  It was rough for him, so I think we may wait until we head up again.  It didn't help that the poor little guy cut a tooth and is such a light sleeper that he had a hard time sleeping.  He sleeps great at home, going to bed around 5:30 and sleep until 7:00 the next morning. But He just doesn't adjust well to sleeping away from home.
We left on Saturday night after the BYU game (yay.. that's a sarcastic yay).  We planned it so Rivers was all ready for bed and slept most of the way up there.  We got his sleeping stuff all set up and brought him to bed.  He slept for a few hours then was up ALL night crying.  The first night was only a few Scott's cousins, and an aunt, and they claimed they didn't hear him, the next morning we saw that pesky little tooth that caused all the trouble.
That was also the first night we've ever "co-slept" with our baby, and Rivers is the craziest sleeper ever!!!  We brought the portable crib, but he slept better in my arms, meaning I got no sleep.  The next night the rest of the hunters and families showed up and it was just way to noisy for him the sleep.  Plus it was cold.  I think we may do day trips from now on, and Scott will have to go hunting without us.  At least until Rivers is better at sleeping away from home.
We did have lots of fun, Rivers Loved the swing as always, and playing with all his cousins.  He also showed off his sweet walking moves for everyone.  We went on some fun 4-wheeler rides (us not the baby too loud and he's too small still, he's a little guy remember), roasted some marshmallows, bbq'ed, played with a dog, and we even managed to stay on schedule so Bubs took good naps and was cute most of the time (except at bedtime). 
We were grateful for the get away, and now Rivers can eat his cookies by biting into them so win all around right :)
