Utah or bust...

Its official, we are coming back to Utah. Atleast me and the kids are. Wes was laid off from the job that was supposed to last up to four years. The job is actually coming to close and they were just looking for any excuse to make some lay-offs. It was our bad luck that Wes happened to be sick that week-so he was axed. Never fear, Wes has a few people that can hook him up with a job, so we aren't too worried about being unemployed for long. But, those jobs will be in Wyoming and I want to get Hailey into school and keep her there. The jobs he can get are going to be short ones and I don't want to keep pulling her out. I am pretty sure the next 3-4 years are going to be like this for us, until he has finished his apprenticeship. I am still here in Wyoming cleaning the house, but will be headed home tomorrow. I am so excited to be going home and be surrounded by all my friends and family again. WAHOO!!!

Happy Anniversary Wes!!

Yesterday was our 9th anniversary and unfortunately it was not a great one. Out of the four of us, I am the only healthy one. The kids both have a had a cold for a few days and Wes, poor guy, feels like he is on his death bed. He has come down with some funky virus. He went to the Doctor yesterday and had a shot for nausea and a powerful headache. The Doctor told him to keep drinking a lot of fluids because she had seen a lot of people with this same virus and a lot of them had ended up in the ER with dehydration. When he came to bed last night he was shaking really bad. I asked him what was wrong and he just said his stomach really hurt. I was pretty sure he had a good case of gas, speaking from experience its really painful. Anyway, I think he will be ok before long. So that was our day. I do love him like crazy and would follow him anywhere. Ha, obviously, I live Wyoming now!! LOVE YOU BABE!!

Vampires

My childhood fear were vampires. I always avoided anything with them in it (even cartoons or children's movies)-until recently. Thank you Edward Cullen. Ever since I have read Twilight, I have become somewhat obsessed with them. But, I still do not like the scary side of their world. I am more interested in the romance and sexiness of them. I will not watch anything with vampires (Wes has been trying to get me to watch Underworld-no thanks). I guess if I read about them instead of watch them, I can envision them a little less monster-like. I just think it is funny how sometimes our fears can be overcome and then become an interest. ???

Riley's Birthday

Riley turned three on the 7th. The original plan was Spiderman. He has been asking for a Spiderman cake since Hailey's birthday. I thought that was easy, I would just make a spiderweb cake. Done and done. Nope, last minute he changed his mind a wanted Diego again. So I improvised with what I had and came up with this masterpiece. I know it isn't the neatest cake in the world, but I had fun and Riley loved it. So, job well done on my part. Oh, and I tried to do Diego colors, but they came out a little more fluorescent than anticipated, oh well, I tried.

Sunset

Again I found some mystery pictures on my camera taken by Hailey. Obviously a sunset-and isn't it beautiful through the window screen? Love her guts!!

Ok so it has been over a week since Hailey swallowed the nickel. I have not seen one yet, but I am pretty sure it has come out. After a few days of checking, I kinda gave up. I may end up going in and have some x-rays done just for some peace of mind, but I am not too worried. Our nurse connection told me that she has probably already passed it and if she is still acting fine then not to worry-so I am not. Anyway that is that.
