Saturday the kids and I left for Utah. I was finally able to take the grey car down so we could try to sell it and I picked up our white car from the shop. (I got rear ended on the way to church just to find out that church was actually canceled do to bad weather. Little late if people are already headed there; so frustrating). Anyway I got to do Maddie's hair for prom, it was so fun to help her get ready and see her date pick her up; she looked beautiful. Johnny and Emilee entertained my children by fulfilling their every demand. No Joke they had all the toys out, I'm pretty sure they ate an entire box of fruit snacks while Emilee made them popcorn, I looked down stairs and Johnny had made them a fort (he got some clamps out of this garage and clipped them to Emilee's new leather furniture). Next thing I know Johnny, Trig and Josie are all in the coat closet singing songs; then out to the mailbox so Josie could be a 'special delivery girl'. They were so cute to my babies. Josie cried when it was time to leave and she is still talking about going back. O Anglea was there too. She laid on the floor and told me what I was doing wrong while Hannah (I was tending her because her family went ice skating) sat on Angelas chest and ate popcorn. After Maddie left Johnny bought us dinner at Kirt's; it truly was such a fun night!
When I put the kids to bed Trig would not have any part of his crib. He just wanted to lay by Josie. Josie was excited about it but I think it kind of hurt my heart he is growing up so fast.
Sunday we went to listen to my parents speak in church. Because we were so sick we missed their Homecoming report and I wanted to her them talk. My kids were out of control all through sacrament meeting and I was so embarrassed. After the meeting I took grandma great home and she looked over at me and said, "O Lindsey what are you going to do when you have three kids". FAIL... Clearly there is no way she thinks I'm going to survive and she is probably right. Sunday night we had dessert at my moms with some of the family and then we were off to Addy's. I took Maddie with me for good company and so I didn't have to drive in the dark alone.
Monday morning Maddie and I spent every bit of three hours doing her make-up work in math, which was only ironic because at the time we were trying to get her all caught up she was currently missing her math class. O well it was fun to hang out with her and later we got Chinese so that was a bonus! Emilee brought grandma down and JD and Catherine stopped by to see Addy's new house, which is beautiful by the way. We had a good visit and then I got busy painting Addy's bathroom.
Tuesday We started painting the boys room and then I took Josie to Primary Children's for an appointment with a gastroenterologist. They tested her for deficiencies that I have been worried about so I'm anxious to get the results. She was so adorable at the appointment until they drew her blood. She has had that done more than any little girl should have to. (Just today we were driving in the truck and she said, "you know what daddy? I don't like that doctor that taked my blood out. He poked me and I was just Freaking Out, I don't like him, you know that?"). She is so adorable and its true she really was freaking out.
Wednesday we finished the boys room and I packed up again and headed back to my moms. She watched the kids while I went to the baby doctor. I really do appreciate doctors but it is so frustrating to go there, wait forever, pay them, and then they just say 'yep your still pregnant' and send you on your way.
Thursday we headed home. We were all so ready to go home and we really missed Dean. We were really lucky to be gone when we were, Dean was so busy calving it didn't sound like he would have had much time for us anyway. He had a lot of nights were he was out all night pulling calves or trying to save them. It sounds like whenever he was home day or night he was sleeping and then back out to take care of something else. Good news is he is halfway done calving. Honestly though the house was in rough shape; good thing he isn't a bachelor or his pad would be condemned for sure.
Josie had so much fun at Addy's she loves to play with Rio. They each took our cell phones and then walked around the house calling each other. Every time I got my phone back there was at least 30 calls to Addy's phone. Their conversations were short but there was a lot of them.
