A Rexburg Adventure!

This last month has been a crazy one. With flu,vacation, and school starting we have been a busy family. In the middle of August we took a trip to Rexburg (the kids and I) to see Maren and her fam. That trip is one of those where it's so much fun but so much work at the same time. We are basically single parents for a few days. Maren is one of those friends who I will know my entire life. We see eye to eye on so many things that we just "click", I guess. What I didn't realize a few years ago but I do now is that because we are such good friends our kids will likely be as well. During our trip there were a few disagreements about who got to sit by Carson. Bailey and Emma like him quite a bit. I hope they can stay friends as they grow older, it would be kinda fun.




Our trips can only last just a few days because with 6 kids between us things can get pretty hairy in a heartbeat. Here are just a few things to describe our trip.

staying with Maren in her beautiful no stove, cupboardless house (but we had a microwave)

• watching the rain and thunderstorms roll in



• eating out of grandmas YUMMY garden



• staying up till 5 o'clock am getting a good "talk" in with Maren



• feeling groggy the next day, especially after my incident at the vet. How embarrassing



• DEALING



• getting dumped on at the splash park for a Millhollow yogurt



• hearing the kids giggle as they play



• lawnmower rides



• hot tubbin'



• eating lunch & walking through the beautiful BYUI gardens



• just hangin' out at home doing what we do best--being moms
  
  Thanks Maren---You're so great!!
