I can't wait to show you all the cute pictures!
The pictures I'm talking about are from mine and Elliott's crazy trip to Montana. . . I say crazy because we got up at 4 am on Friday morning, took three flights to get to Missoula, MT at about 5pm (7 our time) went to Auntie Bethany's shower then we stayed up till about 1am (Elliott did not stay up) and then got up at 4 am again to start going home. . . oh and now for those super cute pictures. . . I FORGOT MY CAMERA. . . I can't believe it either if you're going to do something super crazy you at least want proof right? Well I have none. It's actually probably better that way I don't know if you all would have liked the picture of the very mean man that sat next to us just looking instead of offering any help while Elliott was freaking out on the way to SLC better, or the one where he was freaking out on the way to Missioula where a woman asked if she could show me how to calm him down (he freaked out on her even more, which I know I'm bad, but it made me feel better) he did finally fall asleep about 20 min. before we landed. . . or maybe you all would have liked the picture of the unhappy episode we had in Denver on the way home better. Maybe it was a blessing that we have no proof of the trip except a phone picture of a happy Elliott with Bethany before we left. He loved all the time we had in Montana (10 hours) but 3 of the 5 flights were not so fun! I think we'll wait till Mark can travel with us for our next trip!

You brave soul! I am so glad Elliot yelled louder for the woman that wanted to show you how to calm him :). Maybe I shouldn't say that, I'm sure she was trying to help. I do wish that people would offer help rather then criticism. Or smiles of encouragement rather then mean looks.
You are an amazing mother Desi! I think about you and think WOW, that is one loving and amazing mother! :)
You do so well. It is so hard when your baby is crying. I seriously feel my shoulders get all tense and I just am so tight. Others with looks of disgust or disapproval just make me want to cry. But who cares what they think. There are loving and helpful people out there though. I thank heaven for their support.
I'm sorry I am being so open about my hard times.
But in RS a couple weeks ago the teacher shared about her sister on an airplane with her two kids and no one else. She had two VERY unhappy children and a lot of stress from all the previous travel any way a woman came over and gave her a big smile and offered the assistance of her older children to make the children laugh or play. It worked... and I big lol burst into tears at the charity of this deed! I'm sure everyone was wondering why I cried at this story... but it was amazing. It still makes me teary-eyed.
I think you are the perfect mother for Elliot! He is so lucky. I'm sure he loved Montana.
Hey girl,
I didn't know you went to MT with Elliott! Good girl- very brave. I have been there believe me. Planes and kids often don't go well together. Maybe the other passengers were praying for patience :)
