Trip to Utah w/ Gma & Gpa

I am laying in bed not feeling very well, so I decided I would kill a little time and blog. I don't know what is wrong with me, but I am not moving very far away from my bedroom tonight.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, we as in Mom, Dad, Kinlee, Jerika & I went to Utah on a Friday to go to 2 weddings and also a viewing. We left on Friday morning and while we were on our way to Utah mom got a phone call that her cousin's husband had died. So when we got to Utah, we went to Shelby's house and then went over to my cousin Lisa's daughter's wedding. It was nice to be able to do a little something with that side of the family. We don't see them very often. Then we got dinner at my new favorite, Panda Express (there is one coming to Idaho Falls soon). We stayed at Shelby's house that night. The next day we did a little shopping and then went to my (almost was my neice) Kylee's reception (long story), but her mom is one of my really good friends. It was so nice and I can't believe she is even old enough to get married!! Then we had dinner at panda express again. The highlight of our trip however, was the early morning Mariachi (?sp?) Band playing in the neighbors garage at 6:15 by my brothers house. There were at least 6 mexicans all dressed in sombraros and suits playing trumpets, etc. You all know what a morning person I am, well Shelby is even less of a morning person than I am. Needless to say he was not happy about the band at all!! It did however make for an early morning and we were up and ready for breakfast much earlier than we had anticipated. It was also mothers day and I got to spend most of my day with my girls and my mom, which was awesome. When we got home from Utah Ray had us a Mother's Day dinner cooked and ready. He is such a good husband!! I love that guy!!

I don't know why it always happens to put my picture first, even though I don't tag them that way. Whatever, that is how it is going to stay. Whenever we travel with mom and dad, mom rides in the back with the girls and I ride up front to take care of dad.

Pretend this is NOT my dad on my Blog, he gets really mad when I post pictures of him anywhere online. But, isn't he cute?

Speaking of cute, look at precious Kinlee in the back seat. She was not a very happy camper this whole trip. It is a good thing we love her, because sometimes she is a LITTLE hard to deal with. She left all of her stuff, clothes, DS, etc. at uncle Shelby's house, I guess I need to be a more responsible mom when it comes to stuf like that.  I am not even sure what she packed, Jerika made sure she had everything she needed.  What good girls I have. Grandma and Jerika were pulling faces at me. I think sometimes they all get sick of me taking pictures, but some day they will all thank me!!

This was on our way to Kylee's reception in Bluffdale. Ashlin, Shelby and Kelsie decided to go with us, so it made it all that much more fun. Kinlee had to sit in the same seat belt as me though, which didn't make for a very comfy ride.  Can you believe Ashy is graduating next week?  We are getting so old!!
I think I am going to sleep now, hopefully I will wake up feeling MUCH better tomorrow.

Teacher Appreciation Week

So, I think I can do everything!! Work full time, take care of two children alone during the week, Young Women's President, run kids to lessons, help at the school on Fridays, etc., etc., etc., but I guess that isn't enough!! So, I volunteered to help with teacher appreciation week at Kinlee's school. Well, this time I needed backup!! We had to color LIFE SIZE pictures of the entire Incredible Family with crayons. Well, mission accomplished, thanks to Jerika, Kinlee and Allisa. They turned out pretty cute, but I didn't get a picture of the finished product. Oh, I also made book marks for all the teachers at the school. Yes, I do need a huge vacation!!

I think this is how we all felt by the time it was done. I must say we did an amazing job.
FYI this post is for you Debbie. I will try to do better!!

Setting up the trampolline.

The girls really wanted to put the trampoline up (thanks Kate!!) and it was warm enough of couple of weekends ago. The problem is that it really hasn't been warm enough to jump on it since then. That is me outside with my family and I was really helping put it up!!

See the silver tarp on the shed? Doesn't it look nice? Well, within the VERY WINDY weeks since putting up the trampoline the wind has torn it to shreds!! I a just really wishing that we have a summer this year. I am beginning to wonder. Last week we even woke up to snow. Hopefully it will warm up soon. I keep reminding myself how much I love it here!!
