Wonderful Wednesday

1) Dad is STILL cigarette free! That makes it 20 days! I am so proud of him. I can't remember if I said why he's quitting so I will share that now. My dad wants to be able to spend more time with Alexis and he wants to be more healthy. GO DAD!

2) Luther is home today and will be home tomorrow. I love having my hubby home. I wonder what we will do today.

3) Alexis is getting smarter everday! She found her toes yesterday. What fun things to chew on.

4) Cheyenne came over yesterday to play with Alexis. I was able to shower and do my hair! (For those with young children you understand how AMAZING this is!)

5) Seeing "The Dark Knight"! OMG this movie is so awesome. It was a great ending to Heath Ledger's career/life. It was very exciting and thrilling.

6) Alexis is very photogenic. Here's one with aunt Chey's cell phone.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and a good Pioneer Day for all of you Utahns!

Fun Game...

Here is a fun little game - Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.On your mark...get set...blog your memories!!

It's Raining, It's Pouring

Finally a break from the heat. It is currently raining, HARD! So I took some pictures of Utah's well needed rain. :)


Here is a video of the rain in action!

Teething

Well it is happening. Alexis is teething. She has been drooling profusely for a month now and chews on her hands constantly. Today she has been so uncomfortable. You barely touch her mouth and she cries and cries. My poor baby. What's worse, I can't find her baby Tylenol. So Luth and I went to the store and bought a new bottle and we also picked up some baby Orajel. I hope my little one cuts that tooth soon so she is out of pain for awhile. But today starts the long journey ahead.

Wonderful Wednesday

This has been a very difficult week for me. So it is very important for me to do the list this week.

1) Steph and my Mom are alive. I got pictures of the wreck and they are lucky they survived the crash.

2) I will get to spend more time with Luther. (I won't need to worry about play practices, meaning more time for hubby and me!)

3) I have realized who my real friends are. Thank you Sarah and Lindsey.

4) The yearly family sleepover. My grandma did a Disney theme for the treasure hunt. It was very cute.

5) I apologized and was forgiven! It feels good. :)

6) My dad has gone 13 days without a cigarette!

Yesterday

So yesterday was a bit stressful. All day long I was waiting for a call to see if I made the part I auditioned for. But that isn't all that happened...
My dad came and picked me up at about eleven so I could go with him to Wal-mart to get my Grandma some soda. On our way back to her home we get a call from my sister saying she and my mom would like to meet for lunch at Fazolli's. Instead of going to my grandma's first we decided to just head out to meet them for lunch. We get to Fazolli's, no mom, and no sister. We then get another call. This time it's my mom, bawling, telling my brother to give the phone to my dad. She tells my dad that they have been in a car accident. My mom said that she was alright but she wasn't sure about Stephanie. So there we go to the corner of 7800 s and Old Bingham highway. My sister's car looks terrible. My dad (who is trying to quit smoking), is taking it hard. I take the kids to ice cream. (They don't need to see what is going on.) They load Mom and Stephanie into an ambulance and then off to the ER we go.
My mom looks fine. They take x-rays of her chest and back. They see nothing and she gets dismissed. Stephanie is SORE. She was struck by the car on her left hip. I thought it was broken. They get x-rays and nothing. They send her home. They spent 3 hours in the ER. I was there for awhile then took the kids home and dropped off Lexie at my Grandma's and went back for my dad, mom, and sister. Holy Crap!
I still haven't heard about the play. I couldn't sleep last night because I kept imagining what could've happened. My sister is lucky to be alive and my mom is lucky she wasn't hurt too badly. I know that today they are going to hurt. And silly me keeps wondering if I could've prevented it. But there is no way that I could stop that guy from running that red light. God works in very mysterious ways, we were only a light away from their accident. Satan also has his ways, with all this stress I was worried that my dad would break down and have a cigarette. He is still smoke-free! Hooray!
* I didn't make the play. I just wish I didn't spend five hours at call-backs! Grr!
