Im looking for.....

So i have been going to Yard Sales for the past few months looking for 2 twin beds. i want a head board,foot board, and the rails. I just want anything that is cute for a boy or a girl. It doesnt matter if it is in good shape, because im just going to sand it down and paint them anyways. So if your reading this and you have an old bed frames or anything, i will buy it. i dont want to go spend alot of money to buy something new that im just going to sand down and paint. So if anyone has ANYTHING let me know! SPANKS!!

Utah! (genius world record longest post)

So last weekend i was laying in bed late at night and i had this idea that it would be Crazy fun if we drove up to Utah to visit one of my bestest friend Chanci and also go to General Conference...So we arranged all of the plans to go and then we were Off..

We left Wednesday evening driving only 3 hours up to Paysen to stay the night at one of favorite ppl from College Melissa and her family. She has the cutest boys and there crazy full of life like my kids, So it was fun catching up with her. We got there pretty late, stayed up late, and we were off the next morning.
This is a picture of Taylor and Kaden at the Rossevelt lake...There so stinkin cute! i love when they hold hands!
My little Tay Tay!
Me and Jeremy at Rossevelt!
Kaden and Jeremy threw rocks over the fence at the lake...is that legal?
He was excited to see the BIG bridge......
and so Sad to leave!
SO i dont know what i was thinking...i brought one toy for Kaden and one baby for Taylor.WHO does that?We did have a DVD player and i brought a few movies! BUT honestly when you going on a 12 hour PLUS drive.......Mellissa actually gave Kaden a Thomas Train that he played with at her house, that he couldnt live with out. Thanks Mel that kept him intertained. So due to my Retardeness....Kaden found things to keep himself busy. He got in my bag, got all my change out and stuck the change in his toes on all 10 toes. He is awesome, even that he picked out all of the Quaters too. We had a good laugh over that one.
SO on Thursay we DROVE and DROVE and DROVE.......12 hours....it really only should have taken us 9 hours or less. ya! we had to stop at every cool place that Kaden saw (mainly Bridges)THis nice man that Jeremy talked to for FOREVER (while i chased my two crazy kids around the bridge) offered to take a picture of us! This is the Navajo bridge ( dont quote me, im not positive) Kaden loved looking at the Colorado River, and there ppl done there Rafting. IT was really cool. We also saw Volturs, my first time.....they look just like they do on the cartoons! WE made some lunch....and we were off...
Another bridge, somewhere on the way to Utah...this is a common look for Kaden these days, he puts is hands on his hips,smiles and rolls his eyes and he gets what ever he wants...SPOILED!
They were bumbed that they couldnt go on the old bridge!
Jeremy and I!
i had to sit in back with them a few times. intertaing them with my amazing voice, We sang songs OVER and OVER again, played peek a boo with the Driver, Daddy! Atleast they were easy to intertain!
9 PM- WE are finally here. We are so excited for the BEst weekend EVER....DUN DUN DUN!....Jk....
So this is a long story SHort....well not so short.

So before we left Taylor had been running fevers and had pink eye, nothing i couldnt handle. So when we left on Wednesday she was the only one sick. On Thursday my throat felt so dry,head ache, stuffy. Nothing a little Tylonel couldnt fix. So when we got there that night...Kaden was so grumpy,and exahusted from the long drive. Taylor took 4 naps on the way, and Kaden thought he was being a trooper and he took NONE! So we all didnt go to bed until like 11 Pm. (kids and all) Taylor refused to sleep in her pack and play, so all 4 of use slept on the full size bed. It was horrible, but it was so nice to be sleeping. We slept in until 10 which was awesome. We were ready for are first day in UTah, full of fun,exploring and being Busy Busy!
Ya, well Kaden was Sick, Taylor was sick, So they were just fussy fussy, and the last thing they wanted to do was get in the Truck and drive anywhere else. SO we thought we would go walk around Temple Square for awhile...
Salt Lake Temple!
Ya it was freezing. Poor Kaden just had a sweater, when i was getting him out of the Truck, i dropped his big jacket in the water. He loved all of the water falls and little pools there.
At the Vistor Center they have these Status...when we walked down there Kaden was like "Hey" Hey" HEY" was helling at this statue to talk back to him! it was halerious!
How can you say NO when your kids wants to go up and down the Escalator 10 times....Seriously 10 times!


So due to the weather and are kids not feeling very well, that was all we did that day. It was really fun to catch up with Chanci and just relaxe. We rented a movie that night and Chanci had a coupon for Pizza that she had for 6 years.....im glad we could help you finally use that coupon. lol.
The next day, we woke up from a basically sleepless night....Chanci and i decided to go shopping and Jeremy took Kaden and went shopping. We ended up picking up so much stuff to decorate or lonely room. It ended up being so cute....SHe will have to post some pics. I bought a few things, def not CLOTHES. i hate shopping when im pregnant. Taylor was getting grumpy, we ended up loosing her bottle in one of the stores, so we had to run to walmart to buy a new one. Ya i know, i know! i only brought one bottle for her on the trip. :_ So we all got home, the kids went to sleep, chanci and decorated her room...and jeremy went back out shopping around. When we were all rested we went to the Live Planet Aquarium. It was interesting...They had some cool stuff, Kaden was more interested in pushing the stoller then looking at anything. He is a very interesting 2 year old.
You could touch the Sting rays* it was pretty cool, this was kadens favorite part!




Ocotpus and a star fish, i wish the Octopus was moving around, and you cant tell how big the star fish was, but it was HUGE!So it was fun to go see all the animals, the spider,snakes, sharks, fishes. So that night we just played around, i made my famous spegetti and we rented another movie. By that night we were all sick besides Jeremy. I slept upstairs with Kaden, and he slept down on the couch with Taylor. We couldnt handle the four in one bed again. Another sleepless night for Kaden and i. waking up....couldnt breath, to Hott, To cold, need medicine....I felt horrible and you could tell Kaden didnt feel good either. We were going to stay another day, but ended up leaving around 11 A.M.

THe drive HOME! Imagine your kids being sick at home, Ya a million times worse when your driving in a car. I was dieing, Medicine every 2 hours, i probley said 10 words the whole way home, It hurt so bad to talk. i had the worst sore throat ever. By 8 Pm we were finally in flag....only 5 more hours until we were home.We ended up staying the night in Flagstaff, are kids had, had enough. WE stayed the night with my Brother n law Ryan. MAN....was that fun. He lives in a garage with a wood burning fire place, no carpet, NO BATHroom. IF you know Ryan that is totally his style he is a trooper. i had to go pee 5 times in the middle of the night, outside, i couldnt breath, Kaden couldnt breath cause of the fire place, we all 4 slept on one mattress, So by 4:45 am, i was ready to get the heck out of there. It took for forever to get home it seemed. I cryed as we pulled into safford and a few times on the way. We didnt even go home, we drove straight to the doctors office. Ear aches, pink eye, sore throat, We had it all.

Were home now.....It was such a good idea....I wish we would of all been feeling better, and that the weather was better. It has been so nice to have normal nap times, and bed times. I havent had a voice for the past few days so if you have called and i havent anwsered, that is why. im feeling so much better. i can actually breath out of my nose, it just hurts when i try to talk/whisper. My kids are feeling better and it has been nice to be home.

It's so fun to leave home, but so nice to come home! i just want to say thank you
to Chanci, Ryan and Mellissa for letting us stay with you. It was heaven to have little breaks from driving. It was really fun seeing all of you!
