Another adventurous day
Today Hunter got to go to the airplane museum with Papa, go with Daddy and Papa to see Memaw and Papa Steve where he got to play in dirt, feed horses and just be outside in the sunshine.
Then this early evening he discovered "the jungle" in the back yard!!!!

We went to Chuck A Rama last night for dinner and Gookie went to town. This messy face is NOTHING compared to the finished product. But unfortunately I didnt get that on tape. Just imagine another layer of chocolate brownie on top of the raspberry face you see here.
Last Saturday Papa was watching Lawrence Welk. Hunter was pretty fascinated by the tap dancer. So I got out my clogging shoes and Hunter had some fun.

What's up
My parents have been here for a little over a week and it has been wonderful to have them here. But most importantly they have been able to rest and feel better. My mom was able to see a urologist the day after they got here and was put on some anti biotics. It has made the world of difference. When they first got here they both did not look well at all!! Mom was just miserable and both were tired. It was really hard for me to see them like that. But with in a few days and good night's sleep they have perked up greatly.
They are freezing here after being in Africa, but the really sad part is, we are too!! I have had the heater on the past two days and it's JUNE!!!! Ugh, eastern Idaho!!
We have planted my garden, gone on a drive through cache valley, and just enjoyed eachother's company. Oh yes, and of course have been watching the world cup. They have taught Gookie to put her hands up and yell "GOOOAAAAALLLLL" And Hunter will shout in excitement at the t.v. just like Papa!!
I am so lucky to have my best friends all here! My parents, husband and kiddos. Being the youngest, I got to live with my parents and it was just us 3 all through high school, and I got to really know my parents and strengthen my relationship with them. So I am grateful for this time that Hunter and Gookie has to build a relationship with them. Hunter LOVES Grammie and Papa. He is like their shadow. Yesterday Papa took Hunter on a walk down the street where they are building a building. They got to see the tractors in action and saw bird eggs and then went to the store and got some chips and orange soda. That;s what Hunter wanted to eat. HUnter LOVEd it. Hunter was given a piggy bank which is actually in the shape of a giant crayon. He calls it a rocket. He has been collecting money to buy a buzz lightyear. Papa gives him coins everyday and last night Grammie, the kiddos and I went to find a buzz lightyear at the store while the Papa and Brad watched Avatar. It was so cute to see HUnter hand over the money and buy it himself. He was pretty proud about it too.
On Wednesday they got a couple massage as a present for moms bday and father's day from all 7 of us kiddos. I think that has really helped them out too. Mom had horrible knots in her neck and shoulders and dad had some in his lower back from the 20+ hour airplane ride.
The dr. they saw yesterday minored in African Studies and he spent 2 hours with them yesterday not only to check their health but to talk about Africa!!! He wanted to hear more and said he wanted to go to their home coming, which wont be here. But I suggested they do a FHE or something.
My mom has a follow up appointment with the urologist today and they both get bloodwork done on monday and then see the dr. on wednesday. So they are here atleast until then.
Yesterday was just freezing and we went out to eat. Mom looked at me and said "I hope the heater is on in this place or I will get pneumonia" (sp?) And I said "if you do, you will have to stay here longer and that's part of my plan!"
Love having them here and cherish this time together. They are getting better bit by bit. Yesterday Dad/Papa was telling me how it is so good to see Mom back to herself. He was really worried. she has been in pain, tired and just miserable for so long, he was worried that she wouldnt feel like normal again. And I know Mom was really worried about that too. So we are all glad that they are getting better and rested before they move on in their next adventures.

This time 5 years ago.....
It was definately warmer than it is now! But it was my first semester back from my mission. I was ready to conquer the world and have fun. I had great roommates and great classes. In my history class there was a guy who sat in front of me and he had the broadest back ever. Yeah, I mostly stared at his back and didnt pay attention. Then I saw this guy in the library and went up to him and talked to him. I later emailed him regardng free fishing day. He had mentioned he liked to fish, so I figured he would know if it was really free fishing day. A week later, our first date was fishing. I wonder where this guy is today? Oh, he is vacuuming the house for me! LOVE HIM!! Happy free fishing day every one in Idaho. It's saturday!!

FURIOUS!!
I have to vent. I had EVERY WHITE THING I OWN in the dryer and brad put his coat and jeans in there to "de wrinkle" well guess what was in his pocket? A FULL GRANOLA BAR!! Every white thing i own is ruined! shirts, g's everything!! I am sooooo furious!! and it is clumpy brown spots on everything!!!! UGH!! I seriously could start crying now! i really need to start my period and get this pmsing over with!!
Girl's nite out and other updates.
Last night was our girl's night out. We went to the bead place and made necklaces. I made my first necklace (with major help from my Mother in law)! I love it! It was fun to be together, make something and talk and laugh. Thanks for those that came. Now we will have to get together often to make more necklaces!! I am addicted!! Its nice to make something, a couple of somethings, cheaper than it would be to buy from the store. It was really fun.
My parents are flying in to Salt Lake on Tuesday. Then they have to take care of getting their car registered and a smog test. I told them to just come to idaho because we dont have to worry about getting smog checks done! ANyway, my brother is going to drive them here in their car thursday. We all refuse to let them drive themselves. We are treating them like the are weak and feeble because right now they are!!! But in time they will get their strength back and then they can make their own decisions! Just kidding mom and dad! We are all just worried about you and love you very much.
Gookie has had the same symptoms of ANOTHER uti. they wanted to do these procedures once she was infection free. SO i was just about to call when the same symptoms started showing up again. So instead of taking her in and having her try to pee in the bag or get another cathater done, I just put her back on the anti biotic. It's been 3 days and today she is back to her happy self again. Poor girl, something is just not right.
Starting tuesday we are supposed to have real june weather!! YAY!! Brad and Hunter went on the father/son campout and it rained. So there were plenty of puddles for hunter to jump in and they went fourwheeling and got all muddy. They arent back yet but Brad called to let me know Hunter is DIRTY!! I am glad. He needed it. Hunter is a boy who needs to be outside and doesnt care if it is cold, snowy, hot, rainy. And it's good for him to get some Man time with his daddy, uncles and Papa Steve. Hunter has always been a man's baby and he loves his uncles and papa steve. Good memories to make together.I am just worried he learned to go potty on a tree and will start to do that when he get's home. BEfore they left i told Brad to stress to HUnter you only go potty outside when you are camping!!
