Santaquin & Playing with Wes

We took a drive to Santaquin yesterday. Iveth and Diego invited us down for dinner. Before we got to their house, we went by Payson to see where Corey's mortal basically life began (since his parents are both from Payson and met and got engaged there). We drove by Grandma Curtis' house and then by Helen's house, and told a few stories about our memories surrounding the Payson Onion Days.

Our detour made us just a little late, but it was ok. When we got there, there were a lot of hispanics on their way out after the Sunday mass. One family stayed around and so we didn't visit that much with I&D cause we were talking with them. But it was nice to see Iveth and Diego and the kids all had fun playing. They were mostly running outside shooting laser guns at each other. We stayed inside where Corey shared the hololens thing with them and Father David. Corey rented that for a work project. The kids have enjoyed playing with it sometimes and Iveth and Diego thought it was fun too.

Pictures of Father David wearing it are on Corey's phone. It was fun. Corey and Diego and Father David played Jenga. Corey is pretty much a jenga master. 

So it was fun. We are a little sad that they've moved on and are far away and are so busy. But it's nice that Father David comes by to visit us. He came by for dinner last month and is coming by again on the 30th. 

Here's the daily photo of Peter sleeping, with his cute little feet crossed and tucked under his tummy. Such a cute little boy.

Wesley and Peter were playing their fun pretending to shoot each other game today. 
It can also be called the "I died, kiss me, I'm alive!" They shoot each other with their finger guns or zap each other with the force laser beams, then they die. If Peter dies, Wes will kiss him or he might eat him. 
Usually they only die one at a time, but today they both died at the same time, which makes it a little trickier for one of them to be the hero.
Wes was dead and couldn't speak. I tell him "Peter! go kiss Wes!" and he dutifully revived himself and went to do his prince charming job. 

One of the many reasons that Wes is Peter's favorite is because he will show him pictures of Disney cars on his computer and he'll also play the Cars songs. Peter was in Wesley's room listening to the Cars soundtrack tonight.
He was looking through a duplo lego cars instruction book that came with his birthday present last week (It arrived late, and I didn't wrap it, but Peter was ok with that)
Wes has left him in there listening to the music, but Peter found and put on the hat on his own. We thought that was pretty cute. And Wes was reading him this Disney Pixar Character Encyclopedia book and they looked at all the Cars characters. "Who is that?" Peter says: "Quee" So easy, Wes, give him a hard one!
None of them are hard for Peter. Peter is a little Cars fan just like Wesley was. I remember more than a decade ago, when Wesley was 3, after Hyrum would leave for kindergarten, I'd put baby Abi down for a nap and would turn on "McQueen" for little Wesley to watch.
