A vacation from a vacation

Our drive up to Utah seemed to take forever because I was so excited to finally see my family. We stopped in Sedona, Arizona on Saturday and spent the night and then proceeded to Utah on Sunday. We went through the Grand Canyon which was really pretty and then made our way to Seths Families house. The week there was pretty full as we cooked meals and cleaned out the family garage which took a whole day and 2 trips to the dump. I also shopped and prepared food for Seths Family Reunion. Well Seths Family Reunion is finally over and I am in need of a vacation. I planned, cooked, and supervised the reunion for 2 days 3 meals and over 70 people. Everything actually went really smoothly and I think that everyone had fun. We went up Friday night to Heber Valley Camp in Heber, Utah and had dinner and a talent show and then on Saturday we had breakfast, lunch, played volleyball and went paddle boating. Seth and I didn't really have that much fun because we were always working but I am proud of the fact that it was a huge success and I received lots of compliments on the reunion. We are now at my Grammies house in Meridian, Idaho and I feel a lot more relaxed. On the way up to Idaho I just started crying for no reason at all, I guess Im just really tired from too little sleep and everything that was going on. Seth and I have a hard time relaxing at his families house because its always messy and we feel like we should always be cleaning. Tomorrow we are heading up to Garden Valley to a cabin my mom rented. I am looking forward to relaxing and I will let you know how everything goes, also I will post pictures when I get back to Texas!

The final countdown

Tomorrow is the day! We will be heading up to Utah and Idaho for 2 weeks. We are leaving Friday night and will be making some stops in Sedona and the Grand Canyon. It should be lots of fun, the only part Im not looking forward to is being stuck in a car for about 50 hours there and back. Ill try to blog and keep you updated on what we are doing and when we get back I will post the pictures.

An anniversary forgotten......

So, Saturday June 14th was our 6 year anniversary and guess who forgot!!! Last night I took a look at the calendar and asked Seth if he realized what day it was and it finally dawned on him that we had missed our anniversary. Where has the romance gone? Unfortunately my husband has lost his way along the path of wooing his woman. The first couple of years he was pretty good, I would find a letter on my pillow or he would bring me a flower, but now nothing, we are lucky if we get to go on a date alone! To those other husbands who read this blog a woman always needs to be wooed!!! It makes her feel special and appreciated. Yes, life does get busy and hectic but we should always find time to nurture our marriage. It doesn't have to cost a single cent a short little love letter will do.

This blog dedicated to my significant other in hopes he will get the hint. :) hint hint.

A night on the Town

Seth and I were finally able to get out without the kids. We hit a little hole in the wall Bbq Pitt that was voted top 50 best Bbq in Texas, it was really good. Afterwards we went and saw Prince Caspian. I liked the movie and only wish that it would have had more romance, even though its not in the book. :) It was nice to have some time with just my hubby.

This is what happens when I blog

This blog is especially for Ashlea, she has been bugging me about writing more so I just wanted to show you guys what happens when Kade does'nt get the attention he wants. Kade decided to get into the Diaper Rash Cream. Not very fun to clean up because it is so greasy. Gotta love kids and their messes! :)

The Terrible Twos

Im contemplating not taking Kade out into Public until he turns 5. Lets just call him Hurricane Kade because wherever he goes he leaves destruction and mayhem behind. Today I took Mckenzie and him to a Magic show at the local Library, it was actually really good and Kenzi loved it, but Kade was horrible!!!!!!!! He ran around, threw things, and screamed his head off the whole time. I hate getting all those different looks from people ya know the ones of sympathy, annoyance, and why the heck don't you stay home looks! The sad thing is that this kind of behavior occurs daily. Maybe I should call Super Nanny. :) I cannot imagine having another child right now with as much attention as Kade requires, so for all those who are wondering lets just say it may be a couple more years!

Like sister Like Brother

My kids love to color. Crayons, Markers, Paint, Food...... Find a liquid or viscous object and they can usually create a masterpiece out of the substance. The problem is that instead of drawing on paper they choose themselves, the carpet or the walls. The other day Kade decided to get into my Mascara and draw all over himself. The funny thing is that Kenzi did the same thing at his age. At least Kenzi had the general idea where the mascara went! You be the judge, who did a better job at applying the mascara?!?
