When you become a parent and begin to lose the amount of sleep most parents experience, you begin to wonder, "Was this really a good idea?" Then you look down at your sweet daughter or son and they look up at you and hold their arms up just wanting you to hold them. Of course you do just that, because in a short time they will be too big and too independent to be held by Dad and Mom. For a moment at 2AM you think, "Ya, its worth it!", but a moment later you remember that it is 2AM and you have to be up at 6:00AM to get ready for meetings! At that moment you think, "I think 1 child is just perfect!" I don't know how many other parents have felt or thought that, but I don't believe I'm in the boat all by myself. Luckily, all the good, sweet, and wonderful times more than over power that bad feeling and you really just want to have more babies! Well, I guess that is my thought right now. Man, I'm tired.....

Our trip to Brianhead Utah



We made our trek out to Brianhead Resort outside of Cedar City, Utah. The whole Leishman clan traveled the 9 hours by car on New Year's Eve, arriving in St. George around 6 in the evening. We spent the night there, driving the remaining 2 hours the next morning. We packed up and headed for Cedar City and Super Wal-Mart. Super Wal-Mart is great. They have everything you could possibly need. While shopping in the store, Justin Rivera proposed to Kelly in the cereal aisle. Of course Kelly said Yes! We are very excited to welcome Justin to the family. He is a great guy and will make Kelly very happy. While in Brianhead we spent 2 days snowboarding and 1 day snowmobiling. It was a lot of fun. Most of us had not been to the snow in years. We had a ton of fun and got to spend some time in the car chatting. By the way, Darcy did great in the car there and back. We were so blessed!!!
