Too Much Too Fast!

OK too much has gone on since our last post and too much is coming up to keep updated on! Yesh! This time of year goes by WAY too fast!! you spend all year waiting for October to start celebrating the holidays and they FLY BY! Well I'll start backward and work my way forward! So we went to Flagstaff, we had SO much fun! I love my Brother and his family to death but I think next time we share a hotel with them, meaning my bro will be when we have a door to shut between us! But missing a night of sleep was worth the fun! when we drove up there it was raining hard! And it was COLD! 52 degrees was the high! Now I have been called a wimp but my Brother who NEVER gets cold, is a postman and delivers mail in shorts ALL year long, NEVER wears pants, was cold!! I was bummed about the rain cause everything that I had planned for us to do consisted of out walking downtown! but pushing strollers and holding umbrellas..how do people do that?? But after we ate and unloaded the cars it stopped and the Sun came out! IT WAS BEAUTIFUL! all the rainbows and glisten on the shops! so we hopped in the car and parked to go and find treasure! BUT 1st stop was to scare the pants of as many people I could with a tour at the world famous Hotel Monte Vista! lets just say a weird sensation at "Freddie Kruger's" room and a sneak down to the basement had us ALL on edge but the best treat was my cute sister in law who almost peed her pants, was DYING to get out of there! She was so happy they were booked because that was the hotel I tried getting a room at. WE found all kinds of stores, ski, hippy, kids toys the COOL old fashioned kind, and my FAVORITE a used book store! Now i would've stayed in there for hours the whole night actually, lock my in! but my other family was getting impatient! my sweet husband knew what we were getting into when we found it and was totally OK with my time taking it was comforting. We ate Yummy Mexican food and then the fun began back at the motel! I guess it WAS MY fault I wanted the Mexican food!! it was crazy manness going on! There was 4 adults and 3 kids and out of that only 2 girls but even Kim was overtaken by the Mexican food. I was SOO uncomfortable and didn't know such loudness could be made with one's body it literally woke me and others including the perpetrator!!Then came the SNORING!! Jake came into our tiny queen sized bed cause of all the craziness with body nosies and baby crying and all. HE stayed up ALL night asking me every 30 min or so if it was time to get up. We eventually "woke" up and started to get dressed and all proceeded to laugh at everything and everyone and talk about what they heard, no one had mention the gas coming out of uncle will and Jake said " ya and I heard someone gassing SO big all night too"!!( the F word is NOT aloud in my house so we say Gas) That got us all rolling! we hurried and dressed to continue our trip to Page another 2 hour drive to meet my Mom and Grandma! we had a Beautiful day to play in the park and have a picnic. my Mom was in heaven getting to play with ALL her grand kids at the same time! She was Pushing Jake High on the swings and he yelled out"this is the best vacation ever!!!" We all had so much fun! It was so sad to leave and go home. We miss Grandma and GIGI!! I'll post pictures later!

P.S. Happy Birthday Justin- hope you liked the Chicken salad I made for you!
