Stranded In Sandy...

Last weekend Darren and I went down to Utah to attend our friends sealing and visit my family. The sealing was absolutely wonderful and we're really glad we were were able to be there. Darren and I were married in the Salt Lake temple so its always really special for us when we get to be in one of the sealing rooms again. Thanks for inviting us guys!

Later that evening I took my little brother over to his homecoming date.. He is so cute! :) We went shopping for the shirt he was going to wear, and went and got the corsage for his date. So cute! I drove him over to his date's house then went inside to meet her parents and take some pictures and embarrass the poor guy. Hopefully he didn't mind having his older sis tag along too much. I along with my little sisters actually stuck around the rest the evening to help serve dinner. It was a lot of fun too! Poor guy... ha ha.

Sunday morning I woke up in loads of pain and within a few hours I was bawling my eyes out. Seems I picked up a kidney infection, and it has not been fun. I had to go to the doctors and pee in a cup and all that awful stuff.. We had planned to come back home that evening but I was in so much pain, and Tray wasn't feeling so great either which we found out later was due to an ear infection :( so Darren decided it would be best if we stayed behind at my Mom's so she could take care of us. Which she did and I can't thank her enough! My parents and my siblings were amazing and kept Tray entertained constantly so I could rest. Within a few days though Tray decided he liked my mom more than me. That was interesting! He would kick and scream when she would leave the room but didn't even notice when I left. How rude! Ha ha I'm glad he loves her so much but I thought I had at least a couple years before he started picking her over me. (She absolutely loved it) He had to be with her, constantly attached to her hip, even while vacuuming. She had to hold him in one arm and push the vacuum with the other. And only she could bath him right it seemed.. I'd try to take him but he'd cringe away from me. I must just be a mean mama ha ha oh well.

I got to spend lots of time with my family though, which I loved. For fhe on Monday we played hide and go seek! It was fabulous! We turned out all the lights and played. Tray kept giving away our hiding spot though the little stinker. Ha ha my 16 year old brother attempted to hide in the dryer. It was hilarious! He's not a little guy by any means. So funny...

Then on Wednesday I decided to go get my hair cut. It has been in desperate need of a trim probably since Tray was born.. gross huh? But I finally went and got it cut. I had forgotten how nice it feels to not have inches of dead hair.. ha ha I do like cut tho.. What do you think? Later that evening my friend Angie and I went to my little sisters Vollyball game. Ang and I used to be on the team so it was fun to go together. We came to the conclusion though that we probably shouldn't go to too many. We were yelling and screaming.. parents were glaring at us.. people were scooting away from us ha ha We ended up sitting on the bench too so we could be RIGHT up in the action... My poor little siblings. They're never going to want me to come to Utah again. Probably embarrassed the poor girl.

Tray learned quite a few new things while we were there too... He learned how to play the piano...



How to eat things right from Grandpas mouth....



My dad also taught him how to climb the stairs... (sorry the video is sideways)

It was a good week but I did miss Darren a lot . He was supposed to come get us Wednesday, but that didn't work out. Then he was gonna come get us Thursday, but our fabulous car broke again. So my mom got to drive us all the way back to WY on Friday. I am very thankful that she did, otherwise we would probably still be in Ut. Ha ha I miss them already, but its good to be home..
