Can we take it home?

J and I went to have her blood test taken yesterday. For being a six year old she gets excited for this. I have no idea why. As we were waiting I was trying to have her look at me and tell me what she did at school but she wanted to watch and then got all tense. The nurse man started yelling at her and I kinda wish I would of said something to him but I didn't. Anyway I will get to the point of my story. As we were leaving he had all the blood in his hand and J said "Are we going to take it home?" I replied no honey we are not vampires so I think we should leave it here. I turned and looked and all the staff was laughing. It was funny. But maybe you had to be there.

Murphy's Law

So driving the big SUV that I do one would think I wouldn't be getting stuck in the snow. So here's how my Tuesday went. I got up took the kids to school, workied until about noon. Knowing I had to drive to Hooper pick up the kids and then take J to her Dr. appt at Mckay by 1:30. I made it fine to pick up the kids and up to the hospital parked and as I put the car in park it slide over close to the car next to me. I was in a hurry and they could still get into their car so we went inside and I figured I would deal with it with the appointment was over. So an hour later we come back out get in the car and it was a no go on getting out of the stall. Every time I backed up I got even more stuck and then slide sideways. Now I consider myself a good driver and even in four-wheel drive I thought I could get myself out of that mess. But nope. So I rocked the car back and forth and to no aveil still stuck. Then finally I see the guy that parked on the other side of me get in the back of his SUV. I got out hoping he had a small shovel or something that I could use to dig myself out. As soon as I walked aroung the car I realize that it was the Dr that did my surgery in September. Lucky for me I was soaking wet and he didn't recognize me. With him and I pushing and pulling I finally got out. We were supposed to go to Ogden Regional for blood work but never made it. There was no way I was going to get stuck there also. Yikes. Long post.

Dilemma, Dilemma....

So for the past week Jace and I haven't been seeing eye to eye. It all started with him cleaning his room. He has a toy box under his bed that until recently he didn't know even existed.(That's where I hid the loud and big toys) He has started to dump all the toys from every basket and that toy box on the floor and refuses to pick it up. So I threatened to throw them all away. Now I know I shouldn't say things that I don't intend to do. But after last night I think I might. I asked him to go get his PJ's and when he returned he had them.(what a good boy) But when I went up to tuck him in he had thrown everything out of his drawers. Not just piled them on the floor I mean thrown them everywhere.(This is where you picture them hanging from the lights, over the door, all over his bed) It was a mess. I thought my head was going to explode. I told him again I was going to throw them all away and his reply was "go ahead mom, just do it, I don't want them" What do you say to that? This morning I was telling the sitter the story and I didn't think he was listening but I guess he was, because as soon as I finished the story he looks at me and says. "just throw them away" So tonight after we get home I am going to load them all up and make a trip to the dump (garage) for now. Wish me luck!

Fun Photo's

It's Over!

So here are a couple fun photo's.

Time Flies

Well I know I promised pictures of Maui but I haven't got to it yet. I can't believe it is December. I swear it was just July. Here is a brief history of our Trip.

Friday November 7th: Message at Beyond Spa in Layton then to the Airport we went. We arrived in Maui around 8:30 their time. Went and checked out the Condo then went to the grocery store. Eggs $6.29 a dozen. 12 Pack of Pop $6.59 Smallest jar of mustard $3.59 Maui PRICELESS.
11-08 Went to the beach, then later we went on the America II sail boat. Had a blast!
11-09 Up by 4:30 met the Scuba Shack dive boat by 5:30. Did a few dives, not the best but pretty entertaining. Poor K.C. got sick on the boat. Thanks for feeding the fish.
11-10 Again up early to Dive, Dustin went Deep Sea fishing, caught some fish but none were keepers. Then we went on a shopping trip to Lahaina. Dustin and I ate at Bubba Gump's everyone else went to Hard Rock. We had such a great time with just the two of us. He bought me the most beautiful lei.
11-11 We just hung out at the beach then went to a Luau that night. The food and drinks were great.
11-12 We went on the very long and bumpy road to Hana. 70 miles and 9 hours later we finished. Next time we will ride in the "Fun Bus" with everyone else. We will thank Christy for the laugh of the day. We stopped at a rest stop and she had on a pink skirt and tank, I guess when she came out of the restroom she had tucked her skirt in her swim suit. A lady behind her said something to her about it and without hestitation Christy replied"Well thats how classy people roll" We had dinner reservations at Cafe Ole that night. Prime Rib was killer, the Long Islands were also not bad. Yum Yum.
11-13 We got up and went to the Zip Line. We rode with Scott and Lindsey in the Jeep. This was by far very entertaining. It was so fun to see everyone flying through the air.
11-14 Our last day, we got up and did some cleaning at the condo. Julie and Lou headed to Lahaina again. Dustin and I stayed in Kihei with Chad and Christy. I have to say I don't think I have every laughed so hard. "Thanks Chad and Christy" Then we went and got our Tattoos. Since Dustin was a tattoo virgin I had to watch. He got a Tribal band around his leg and I finally got my Shamrock on my back. Chad and Christy came just as we were getting done and we went and got something to eat then off to the airport. I can't believe it's over. But I can say it was by far the best vacation I have ever been on. Thanks everyone!

Aloha and Mahalo!

Just wanted to let you know that the day has come for my long awaited trip to Maui. I am so excited, I don't know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I promise I will post pictures when I return. Mahalo!
