SHOUT OR CRY???

So this entire week we are sending Jordyn off to camp!! Pioneer Bible Camp to be exact! Mike went to it when he was young, and absolutely loved it! I on the other hand have never even heard of it. Well we decided that it was an awesome chance for her to discover a bit about herself and to become a better person! But seriously I'm not sure how i'm gonna handle this!

There are a few possibilities.......we are going to thoroughly enjoy her being gone (for a day or two) or Maycen is going to be so bored without her play partner that she is going to drive me up the wall or I'm gonna cry and continue to cry until I pick her up! I actually am expecting all three and there will probably be a few more emotions that'll come up while she is gone.

So until then I just want to let Jordyn know that she is a very special young lady! You have a mind of your own and let us know how you feel about every issue that you come across! Your not afraid to speak your mind....and I admire that about you (most of the time) ha ha You are very loving towards your little brother and sister. One of my favorite things to do is sit and listen to you read and play with Quinlan. You are very special and I am so glad that you are my daughter! I LOVE YOU!!

New Trailer!!

Here it is ALL 28' of it!!
This is what you see when you walk in (including the kiddo-S) haha
The right side keeps goin and that is where (my) bedroom is!!
This is the kitchen and yes it looks like we live in it cuz we transeferred everything from our old trailer to the new one! YIKES!!
And here is the bunks! They are awesome!!

Old trailer is now GONE!!

YEAH!! I put the trailer on KSL Monday night and got 300 hits within the first few hours! SWEET! Got a phone call that night with a lady saying she wanted to come look at it on Tues. morning! SWEETER!! Well she didn't show up (bee-otch) anyway got a few more calls and most of them were men needing ot talk their wife into it! (Which got me wonderin if Mike ever called on any of the trailers that he liked but new I didn't want to deal with the payment) Anyway a very soft-spoken man called and asked if we were willing to negotiate with the price and we were so he wanted to talk his wife and get back to me! Well I didn't hear anything for a few hours so didn't think much of it until he called back and said they wanted it but they were in twin falls and weren't coming my way until Thurs. night well I had a good feeling for the guy and told him we would hold it for him! And I am so glad we did....they were such a cute couple with four kids under the age of 7 (YIKES!) who had just traveled for 2 hours and behaved so well! SO it sold within 4 days! KSL is an amazing site for the classifieds! Sheesh

Old Trailer

This is the 'old' trailer! It was a great starter trailer that we had bought from my brother!

So last year we bought our first travel trailer and have LOVED it! Well Mike has been looking for a new trailer for quite sometime so on Sat. I decided to let him look at a place that was right off the freeway (we could always say NO right!?!) Well we saw a few but one stuck in our minds and I was actually really interested in it but we walked away with the salesman saying he'd hold it for us until Monday! Well they call us on Sat. night saying that the owner had advertised the price for their cost and he'd give us the new price if we were interested. So I was lookin on KSL and decided that the first price was actually very reasonable so when they told us the new price ($1300) lower we decided to jump on it so we are proud new owners of a 2007 28' Mallard trailer. Holy cow it is so much trailer....and we can't wait until we can make time to go camping which will be SOON!!

OH MY...WHAT A BUSY DAY!!

When I crawled outta bed this morning, Mike had said "let's" (apparently meaning just ME)make breakfast and then go hiking up to the waterfall just above our house!! Well I start making breakfast (thinking Mike is right behind me to help out, since it was his idea) I soon find out he went back to sleep!! GGGRR!
Any-who we ended up hiking for almost 3 hours and saw alot of pretty views and flowers and bugs, oh and rocks!! Great fun! And after about 3 pictures our stupid camera died! AH MAN!
Well we get back down and clean-up to go over to Jackson's birthday party and Maycen gets stung by a bee or wasp (we're not sure) and she is ALLERGIC!! So knowing this she instantly panics and makes it sounds like somebody had died. GEESH! Well we quickly ran home to get some benadryl in her to minimize the swelling and itching! And I am now dreading the rest of the week knowing (cuz' I am also allergic) she is gonna be itchy ALL week! CRAP!
And I'm happy to report that it is now 7:30 and she and her dad are asleep on the couch! SO CUTE!! 2 down 2 to go then quiet MOMMY TIME!! YEAH!

THIS SUCKS......

So now that i've found time to sit down and blog, I decided that I'm gonna vent also!! So Thursday afternoon I was loading the dishwasher and noticed the sink was kinda stinky! (YUCK) Well didn't think much about it....until I ran the dishwasher and the sink was full of disgusting water! (YUCK AGAIN) Well I simply thought it was clogged and Drain-o would be a fix.
So when Mike came home from work I told him the situation and he said he'd look into it in the morning since we didn't wanna wake up the kiddos during this noisy frustrating process!
Well I get up Friday morning and throw some drain-o down the sink and head off to work! Well when I walked into the house (home from work 3 hrs later) I almost turned around and went back to work! Mike was at his wits-end snaking and plunging the stupid sink! He looks straight at me and says "Call a plumber, cuz I build steel joists for a living, I don't fix #$%^ing sinks!! OK THEN!
Well my girls and I were headed out to get our hair done by Malinda, and low and behold her dad is a plumber. So she worked her magic and got ahold of her dad and come to find out that Mike had snaked the drain like 15 feet and he said that 4 feet is about all he could do as well! WHAT?!? So here I sit waiting for the dishwasher to finish so I can go dump the bucket of water that Mike has finnagled under the pipes to drain into!! AAAHHH! Cross your fingers and pray that it isn't our main sewer system!!

I'M BACK

AGAIN....we had issues with our privacy settings....so we had to take in the darn computer!!
