ARGH!!!!

So when I pulled in from my trip I was greeted by the restoration team. At first it was just going to be a fix in the laundry room but it has now gone to the kitchen. So we are totally blocked out of the kitchen and laundry room. Stuff is piled in the front room and family room. So we are living in the bedroom and bath. We might drive each other crazy soon. lol The workers have been great it is just inconvienent. I think we will be spring breaking in Rexburg. ha ha ha

5th Grade Patriotic Program

Last night we got to go to Colton's 5th grade district Patriotic Program. They did on outstanding job. It made me almost cry. He is getting so old and we are very proud of him. Love you Colt!!!

One Hell of a Trip!! Day Three!

Day three was the Welcome Home!! Aaron did an outstanding job. We missed him so much and are happy he is back. Jennifer and B where so nice to offer the brand new house as a hotel. Thanks so much! It was great to hang out with everyone!







Well that wasn't the end of the trip. We flew out that afternoon. After a weather delay of 1 hour. When we got to Vegas we had to go see the sites so it was a short sleeping night. We had to be at the airport at 4 am. Ouchie Ma Ma! Everyone was a titch on the grouchy side. ha ha ha. Then when I arrived home there was a Restoration truck at my house. ARGH!!! More to follow in later posts.

One Hell of a Trip!!! Day Two!

Day two we decided our only option was to rent a car and drive to Phoenix. So we started our day off with a buffet breakfast for $20 a person. Then we finally got the car. Of course we had a gps but someone was too impatient to enter the address before we started off. Which lead to a wrong turn that added an additional 2 hours onto an already long drive. lol So 6 hours later we finally made it to Phoenix. We meet up with everyone at Famous Dave's Yummy Stuff!


Then we went to a Baseball game. It was lots of fun to see the Royals and the Padres. It was a bit chilly (the entire trip) so much for SUN!!





It was great that we had finally made it to our destinations and great to see everyone!!

One Hell of a Trip!!! DAY ONE

Day on of the a trip with the Sorensen's. We decided we where going to fly down to Aaron's welcome home. We had it all worked out.....or at least that is what we thought. 1st flight was delayed 7 hours. We missed our connection in Vegas. The airline was less then helpful. We found ourselves with no hotel, food, or car and no chance for a flight. We finally found a hotel and caught a taxi. We made the best of it and it was still lots of fun!!
Paul and Brax surfing the web in our 7 hour long delay.

Ashley enjoying the complimentary pizza and one 55 cent soda. lol

This is Ashley and Brax reaction to the phone call their Dad placed into customer service at the airport. Big eyes means Big language. lol

Here we are stranded in the Vegas airport with no food, hotel, car. Starting to be a long day. lol

After standing in line for 1.5 hours to catch a taxi we finally, we made it to a hotel!


At the end of our long day Ash discovered a unidentified thing in our bed. Gross!!! It was so late we where told just to get in bed. lol Needless to say we slept on top.

Double the FUN!!

It is the best day ever:) We had our double birthday!! Oaklen chose to go swimming in Jackson, and I chose to eat at Bubba's!!!!! We had lots of Fun!! Then Sunday we did presents and cake. The kid was on cloud 9 for the entire weekend. He insisted on a tiger cake and Ryan didn't disappoint. He had a hard time waiting to lick the black letters. You can imagine black everywhere. lol I realize there will be a day when he says really Mom sharing blows, but until then it is Double the FUN!!!

O - Out of control
A - Amazingly loving
K - Kind to your brothers
L - Little ball of FUN!!

Idaho Wind

The other day we had extra strong Idaho wind. The kind that rips big old pine trees out of the ground and ripes shingles off. Well the Colton, Dagen, and Shelton asked if they could go outside. I was like No it is just not safe. So they presisted to the point I said ok fine if you get hurt your problem. (Bad mom moment). They about blew away, but no major injuries. Once again they where right they had a great time.

Another Performance by Oak
