Trip to Texas Day 4
Molls and I drove ALL day and made it to El Paso just after 8...We are SO glad to be here for the summer and not have to travel anymore for a while. I don't think I want to get back in the car for at least a few weeks. My bum was so cramped I could hardly walk! Matt was so great to have the house all spik and span for us when we got here. Now we are on our way to the store to get some food and a t.v. cord. After all the trouble I went through to get that dang t.v. here I forgot all the cords so we can't even watch it!
Trip to Texas Day 3
I think I'm going to have to start keeping a blogging journal because whenever I'm driving or sitting around I always think of way rad things I want to post on the blog and then when I finally get around to doing it I can't think of my way rad things so say and then I think who cares I'll just post some pictures and call it good...so heres some pictures and no raddness.
Day three was wedding day. I took care of the kids all day and tried to stay out of the way. The wedding was really fancy and the food was really good. They had a steel drums guy AND a band and I'm really not jealous, for reals I'm not...I suppose you should have a huge fancy to do if it takes you ten years of living with someone to decide you want to get married. Is that some bitterness I hear? Oh no of course not.
I have to say I was so impressed by the the minister. He is my dad's best buddy...they have matching tatoos (flaming balls, tennis balls that is) and matching earing...interesting I know. Anyways they couldn't find a minister to marry them because they don't belong to any church so Michael went online and for 30 bucks you can become your own minister! Wow. So special. I think I just might try my had at it!
Kids table again(my little cousin asked me if I was an adult I said yes and Wil said no you aren't you are so still a kid! I swear I will forever be thought of that way good grief)
Finally Married

Trip to Texas Day 2
So I am back tracking a couple days since we didn't have internet for a while but oh well. We finally made it to Palm Springs on Friday just in time for the rehersal dinner. It was nice and fancy and I felt lonely at the kids table with out my poops. But the food was good...I just had to close my eyes while I ate the steak so I wouldn't notice how un-cooked it was! Gross.

Road Trip to Texas Day 1
Wow...this day has been long...where to start...
This morning Molls had her 8th grade graduation. I can't believe it...she is getting so old! I will have to post some pics once I get them loaded on here because she looked SO STINKIN CUTE! Right after grad we jumped in our pre-packed car and headed for I5...then I realized I had forgot our T.V. This could not possibly do...so we headed back home real quick to grab it. Since the car was already packed(I am an over achiever if I do say so myself) I kind of had to shove the t.v. in a spot that it didn't really fit...I had to just shut the door hard and give it a little booty shove and it stayed!
Then we drove and drove and drove.
And stopped to eat and eat and eat...and pay 4.59 for gas!!
Then we stopped in a yucky little town to stay the night...we had planned on staying in Bakersfield but since we stoped so many times it was late and I was tired. I have to start my story out by first telling you how much I LOVE staying in hotels...for reals it is like one of my favorite things in all the world to do sometimes I ask Matt if we can stay at the Hotel in our town just for fun(he ALWAYS says no!). I also have to say that I only like Hotels, because Motels have doors that are outside and I do not like that, I like them to be closed in like in a hallway. So we had two Motel choices and we picked Motel 8...I didn't like this idea from the beginning but didn't really want to keep driving. Well when we got out of the car this guy was going in too to check in. He had a fancy red sports car and loafers and shorts that were too short(these things are all a warning sign of a pervy old man). We go in and he was chatting to us about all sorts of things then his drivers license wasn't working(interesting...) and it was taking forever so he told the lady to get us checked in first. I said no thank you...who wants the pervy old man to know what room you are in? Not me! Then he left and went and sat in his car for a few minutes and a few more minutes and I was getting nervous that he was waiting for us to come out. So I decided to trick him and drive around the block a few times to see if he was still there and he WAS...barf literally...so I went in and told the lady that we wanted our money back. The lady said she wondered about him and thought he was being to chummy with us but assured us that all I needed to do was call her and she'd beat the *crap* out of him. I said that wouldn't be necessary, although I believed her without a doubt...she's been a bouncer at a bar for the last 20 years! Anywho we got our money back and left and felt much better. Now we are in a better MOTEL(Matt's cheapness is starting to wear off on me) and we are settling in for a great night of motel t.v. watching.

Family Wax Night
Wil decided to have a sleepover with Molly and I last night and wanted to get in on the girly action. He was quite a baby about the whole thing until I actually did it and then he thought it was lame because he wasn't scared anymore. Molly is much easier to wax...she holds nice and still and doesn't move a muscle(I've trained her well). Too bad Matt wasn't here he could have had his legs done.

Tag
I don't usually do the tag thing, I don't know why, maybe I'm just lazy but this one seems easy enough(and I love books)
The rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book that is at least 123 pages
2. Turn to page 123.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post the 5th sentence on your blog.
5. Tag 5 people.
"Her hair was dark grey rather than white, which is why I hadn't noticed her age before."
This is from the Host(which I think anyone who read and loved Twighlight is obligated to read). This book is a little slow going for me, I"m not generally a fan of SciFi but then again I don't really like vampires either. It is getting better the more I read but the begining was a little boring and confusing. I think you all should read it so I have someone to talk to about it!
I tag...Rachel Hansen, Sara Lake, Sally(i don't know your last name!), Jess or Brian, and...Margaret!

Trauma of the Day
Today I was trying to put the sewing machine away...(remember it weighs seriously like 50 pounds) I made it all the way to the bedroom and just as I was about to set it down the handle broke off and the whole thing FELL on my foot! I thought I was going to die. Luckily my dad was just around the corner and he came and helped me. If it doesn't feel better by tomorrow we'll go get xrays, but I'm hoping it will just be fine. I don't think I've ever dropped so many "bombs" in my life!
