PICTURE TAG!

It's a "PICTURE TAG" and this is how it goes. Go to your pictures and go to the 5th folder. Then open up the 5th picture and post it. Then tag 5 people when you are done. Have fun!

I TAG: Julie, Corynn, Melinda, Lonni, and who ever wants to play!

I only have one picture folder... so this is the lovely photo you get! Check out my sexy calves! We are getting on the bike, whom we do not know the owner.. to take a cute wedding photo and it turned out being our favorite one!

This is the one... yeah we like it!

SLEEP and Boogers!

2:13 AM
My left nostral is clogged and my right is runny. So I get up and spray in some saline solution-- in both --mind you-- just cuz I can. I lay back down on my back so all the mucus can roll back and upclog my nose!

2:28 AM
Now on my right side, rolling over to grab a tissue and look at the time. Now my left nostral is runny and my right to clogged!! So frustrating, but I just try to tough it out and get back to my uncomfortable sleep.

2:35 AM
Sitting up to blow nose

2:57 AM
I am woken up by a water spilling noise. I always have to have water by my bed before I go to sleep and Phil will occasionally walk over on his way back from the bathroom to grab a sip. Well, this always happens in the dark and I guess the cup wasn't in the normal spot so he missed, and spilled it on the pillow that was on the floor. No big deal we just left it and went back to sleep.

2:58 AM
I am trying to get comfortable again... not working. I lay there for a minute hoping that we are finally out of the 2 'O' clock hour... I just so happens to be...

3:00 AM

3:15 AM
After tossing and turning for 15 minutes I decided-- I am going to lay down somewhere else. I get my two pillows that I must sleep with (one for my head, the other for between my legs). Then I start digging around in the linen closet for a blanket, but I had to open the door across the hall from our room to turn on the light to see.. I didn't want to turn on the hall light and wake Phil up cuz our doors were wide open! So when I opened the other bedroom door, it felt so nice and cool in there. So I went to lay down on the lower bunk bed.. instead of the couch were I originally wanted to go. After laying down for 5.2 seconds I decided this wasn't a good idea. So I hauled my pillows and blanket out to the family room to lay down on the couch!

Who knows what time it was by now, all I knew was that it was a long night!

Tossing and turning on the couch.. sleep not working!

Try the bed again

No luck, then I start thinking about Stetson and hopefully he is still breathing.. because I know that he's got booger problems too. I layed there thinking about him (and about the eventful night that I could blog about.. it just gets better stick with me)

Finally I get up AGAIN and this time I don't take any pillows with me but I do quietly close both doors to our room

I go in Stetson's room, look at my precious baby and see that his chest is still moving up and down... hooray! Luck for me there is a recliner and blanket in his room along with a vaporizor.. vaporizing! I think that helped my nose a little bit because I sacked out right there on the recliner.. Hall le lu jah!

But it's not over yet.... So I am guessing at about 5 AM Stetson wake up crying. After I get the strength to wake up I get him and fall asleep feeding him. Once he is done I wake up and wondered if Phil has left for the Gym yet... he was supposed to get up at 5:35.

I put Stetson back in bed and went back to my bed (I'm really sorry if this is boring you, but some sort of punch line is coming, I promise) It's 5:33 and I think I woke Phil up cuz next thing I know he is getting dressed and I am already laying in bed. I was half asleep, but I asked him if he could get some "Mucinex" for me on his way home from the gym. He said, "Sure, you might need to remind me though"
I turned to lay on my belly.. not knowing he was leaning down to kiss me good-bye, I propped my head up to re-iterate what medicine i wanted, as I did so I bopped him in the mouth and made his lip bleed. Therefore, the word "muci.." was cut short. "sorry!" I said as he silently kissed me and left.

7:20 AM

He gets home and wakes me up... first thing I ask him is, "did you get it?"
"Yeah, but are you sure your not pregnant? Are you feeling ok?"
"Yes, it just my nose" I said
"Well, what is 'Metamucil' going to do for you then?"

"What? You got Metamucil? I don't have Diarrhea!
I was mad.. but I was half asleep when i asked for Mucinex I can see where is may sound like Metamucil.

Anyway.. that's my story!

UTAH!

This is after we landed in Salt Lake just hangin out in the plane for a second and Stetson was lovin it... along with his Zwieback toast!

Nifty little backpack contraption I borrowed from the Mills Fam in our ward... Thank you@!

Alright! Too add some essence to my house cleaning post... I did clean just about the WHOLE House before our LOOONG trip to Utah last week. I wanted to make sure that the house would be smelling fresh and looking decent for our arrival home. We flew to SLC on my birthday the 10th and my Dad and his wonderful wife Debby picked us up and brought us to my Mother in Law's in Payson. Which, by the way, my Dad and Mother in Law live in the same little town just south on Provo. It makes visiting a lot easier. On the birthday weekend then(Phils B-day was on the 8th), we were able to hang out with my Dad and Debby most the time, because my Dad was actually home and not out trucking.

Just a little advertisment for Southwest.. j/k


So Saturday night we went Bowling with everyone! Phil's Mom and Step Dad, Phil's brother Ryan (who just happened to be home from Trucking also) with his 2 kids and of course Stetson and my Dad and Step-Mom! It was so much fun. The FIRST game I really didn't care about my bowling stance or technique so I scored like a whopping 60 something.. if that. Phil won everyone in both games! So my Second game I tried a lot harder and was SO disappointed when I still didn't break 100.. I got 98. But I like to blame it on the fact that Phil bowled on of my turns while I was in the bathroom. I wasn't happy. (sometimes I'm can be a poor sport.) But, you know he probably knocked more down than I would have had they waited for me. It was just the whole idea that all of my turns weren't ALL Mine! He got 9 down for me, in case any of you were wondering. And I did get at least one strike and a couple spares that game... I was pretty proud of myself even thought I didn't get 100!

At the Bowling Alley...

Frys and Fry Sauce.. a must have

Stetson loves playing with Uncle Ryan

Look at my Hott TAN hubby! Then Pale white me : (

The following Monday, we went to Provo with my Parents and just enjoyed being in the cooler weather and seeing a lot more GREEN and mountains! They took us to lunch in Heber where they have a fast food place with a toy train track going around the whole place. I think it's called the Heber Creeper. Now that I think of it, I didn't any pictures of the train! But my Dad wanted to stop on the side of the road on the way home, so we got some good scenery pictures out of that!



Phil's mom was having to haul out 2- 5 gallon buckets of water everyday from under her sink because the pipes that drained the water were completely rotted out and leaking. So she had been living this way for a good while. But Phil decided to put an end to that! He and with a little help from his step-Dad they were able to fix it in one day! Hooray! Indoor plumbing is back again! And that is only one of the many things Phil did to help his mom around the house. He also chopped down 3 ugly and annoying juniper trees in the back yard and hauled them to the dump. He then finished the cute little wood fence she has in her front yard... what a great son. Then the rest of the time we pretty much sat around and watched T.V. But we did make quite a few trips into Provo for home depot. We actually went to the mall one day so I could go shopping! Phil said I could get some new clothes for my birthday... so I did just that! I got 2 pairs of pants at Gap and got like 5 downeast basics shirts... Yay for Utah and the Downeast Kiosk in the Mall!

Stetson decided to take a ride on Papa's Harley after church!

Stetson is enjoying his Easter present from G-ma Debby and his new cute outfit

Korry is such a fun uncle to play with too... and steel hats from!

Stetson was actually laying down and relaxing... just for a minute though so we had to take a picture


Gramma gave me ice cream!

Snug as a bug in a rug... or a baby in a bean bag?

All in all it was a nice get a way and totally worth it!
