I didn't write about my mommy vacation but I thought I should now. I had looked forward to this trip for at least 1 year. Every moment when I thought I just might loose it I thought, its okay I am going to visit my parents all by myself for 5 days. Just knowing that one day relief from life was coming helped me get through each day. When the time finally came it was better than even expected. I slept!!! I slept till at least 11:30 one day. It was truly amazing. We shopped, we ate (at really really nice restaurants), we went to see Grease and met Taylor Hicks, we shopped some more, we sat in the jacuzzi, we did what we wanted when we wanted. I can never thank my parents enough for my vacation from reality. They just might have saved me from loosing my mind. I am so glad that we all got together for our little girls + dad trip. I recommend it to all!

Mommy Vacation
Posted by Our Family at Tuesday, July 07, 2009 4 comments
We went to Idaho (swan valley) for the 4th of July which is also Talan's birthday. We had a lot of fun. The boys love riding their dirt bikes and 4 wheelers. It was definitely a fun filled weekend for all. We had few mishaps which is odd for us. Usually all of our trips are full of mishaps and multiple problems. Its actually a wonder we ever leave the house. Last time we took the trailer and 4 wheelers out Matt lost the keys to the trailer which lead to going into town for bolt cutters. I hope one day we will be able to look back and think all these happenstances are funny! Anyways, Talan turned 3!!! I can't believe my little Talan is growing up. We all wore our army gear for the 4th to show our pride in America. Tyler looked like a little military man in his army garb while shooting his water gun. Talan was so excited for his presents the anticipation has been building for weeks. So when it came time to open presents I though he would be so excited over his much anticipated power glide scooter. No, no, he showed the most excitement over the card his Grandparents gave him which played music when opened and a chap stick we gave him. Why is it that the dumbest of things always captures the most emphasis?? Anyways, the kids loved the fireworks. I do to. I think there is something super special about fireworks. Oh well, a new day, a new dollar as my dad says. Back to real life.

Easter and Trevin's 1st B-day
Easter Sunday was Trevin's big 1st birthday! I can't believe my little guy is one. It is so great! As a birthday present to his mom, he slept through the night for the first time ever. I can't think of a better present except for the jeans he asked my mother in law for which, he didn't get! If you are wondering, Trevin asked his Grandma Mower for a pair of Seven jeans size 25, dojo cut. We are still waiting Vickie don't you worry we know you will come through for us sooner or later. Tyler and Talan were so excited to dye eggs and to go on an Easter Egg hunt. I love having kids they make holidays so much fun. Matt and I stayed up the night before getting everything just so. We put together the Easter baskets, stuffed the eggs, got food prepared, and put together the sand box that Grandma Gould got the kids for their birthdays this year. We were so excited to get the kids out in the sandbox with all their new sand toys. We wake up and it is snowing! There is no way we were going to play in the sand. Yeah, all that lack of sleep for nothing. That seems about right don't cha think? Talan got his army four wheeler that he has been begging for. Both Tyler and Talan have popped a few tires off the ground so far. Its a good thing it has a kill switch on it. I can already tell that kill switch is going to get its fair use. Tyler is holding out for his dirt bike. It has to be just perfect for him. I swear there are days when I wonder how such a girlie girl like myself got 3 boys well, really 4. I don't know if I would even recognize myself if I went back 10 years and saw myself through a window. All this outdoor stuff, camping, 4 wheelers, Moab, I would probably laugh and say yeah right keep dreaming. I guess all that matters is that my family is happy and whole. A family that plays together stays together.
