to utah and back

well, i've been sewing and sewing lately (you can see the projects on the other blog), and then we went to utah for tim's wedding (nick's brother). Nick's sister and dad flew us out (holy cow!) as a surprise to everyone else. Their reactions were priceless! We hung out and played guitar hero, the wii, and tons of board games and card games. Ate pizza, chips, soda, and all sorts of junk! We had so much fun!! We got back tuesday evening and are settled back home. Mom's back in town for a week or so, so benji's having fun with his nanna. I'll post pictures from the trip soon, and here's a random picture of jenee's cute feet.

My Celebrity Look-Alikes

*temple trip

*i see you

*mama, feed me!

that'll just break your heart! when they were washing (the van) and I was clicking (the camera), she was sobbing; poor dear!

*washing off the weekend

here are my two sweeties, washing the van! Our purple bullet sure endured 4 trips to and from huntsville this weekend, and more to come tomorrow. We came back from our "trip" to huntsville on saturday evening and nick cheerfully suggested we wash the van. Now, when he says we, he usually means ME! We got Benji in there, and I tended to Jenee' who was crying. well, actually I let her cry so I could take some cute pictures! Then I went to feed her, therefore I got out of washing the van! Yipee! One less thing for me to do! Aren't they too cute? I know I use that word all the time, but I just can't help it.

*huntsville

well, it's noon and I've now been awake for a little over an hour. how lucky to have slept in you're thinking - oh no I didn't! Nick had an appointment last night at 7 half way to Dallas (2 hours away), and said he probably wouldn't be home until 11pm. So, around 11:30 I fell asleep on the couch watching a movie; somehow I found myself to bed because when I woke up at 3 Nick wasn't there!! I went around the house looking all over for him, and then I checked the garage. Empty! So I call him, and he says, "I've been waiting for you to call me" What an odd thing to say! Apparently he didn't have our home phone number, and my cell phone had died the other day and I failed to charge it. Well, it seems his tire blew out, and then the spare blew out (after only a 1/2 mile of driving on it). He'd been sitting at a gas station next to the Huntsville maximum security prison since 11:30. So, I packed up the car and drove 1 1/2 hours to get him, and 1 1/2 hours back. We all settled back into bed at 7 am. I'm completely surprised and very happy that the kiddos actually went back to sleep. I thought I was doomed to stay awake until their nap times. well, we're going to have to get a tire sometime today (after Nick wakes up - he hadn't slept in 24 hours, so I guess he can sleep in a bit more) and drive all the way back up to H'ville. Joyful. I had such fun plans for today too, oh well.
