Thanksgiving & Weddings

We have had an eventful last couple of weeks. Jordon and I have been sick for over a month. We both had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics to get better. Thankfully we finally are now.
We wanted to go to Mud Lake for Thanksgiving but I wasn't sure if we should considering both of us had been sick because there was going to be a new baby there. We decided to go anyway, since we were feeling a little better and on antibiotics again. We had a great time hanging with Bruce's family and it was SO hard for me to not hold the sweet little baby girl. The girls did great both the drive to and from. We came back home on Friday so that I could help with setup for Karlene's wedding.
Friday night was spent doing just that. Afterwards us girls went over to Tasha's and had pedicures done and helped Karlene with her flowers.

Saturday was Karlene's wedding and it was beautiful! The ceremony only lasted maybe 5 minutes. Quick and to the point! Cala, Tasha and I all got babysitters for the reception so that we could enjoy the dancing without keeping track of kids. So we all went home and got the sitters and came back to enjoy some dancing with the hubbies. I must saying it was nice to 'play' with my husband. We don't get to act like dorks very often and get away with it.
Bruce flew out to Utah on Tuesday morning for work. I drove down with the kids on Wednesday so that we could go to his work Christmas party and another wedding on Friday. Once I got to the hotel we picked up Bruce and drove to a jump house place called Jumpin Jacks. The kids had a blast and were able to let out some unused energy from sitting in the car all afternoon.
On Thursday while Bruce was at work I took the kids to the new Boondocks in Kaysville. It was really nice! It has a bowling alley, rollerball, laser tag, arcades, eating place and of course all the outside stuff as well (which we didn't do even after all the pouting from Collin). We spent 3 hours there. That night Bruce's parents watched the kids so that Bruce and I could go to his work party at Carver's Steak House. It was nice to finally meet the guys he works with. Not to mention the food was fantastic!



On Friday we went to Bruce's nephew's wedding. It too was a short ceremony (maybe 15 minutes) which is great for us because I don't think the girls would have lasted much longer. We stayed for the luncheon and then drove back to the hotel. The kids were really tired and I didn't want to put up with them during the reception that wasn't for 2 more hours. We made it back to the hotel and the girls wanted a 'tubby' so we got them all ready for bed. Lights were out at 8pm.

The drive home from Utah Saturday was crazy!!! We took off at 10am and there was a slight cover on the roads from snow. We passed 11 car accident before we even reached Ogden. Then when we got to Glens Ferry we saw what was left of a clean-up from a 22 car pile up. Thankfully we made it home safely and kids were done with traveling. As am I for a while. We were able to get a babysitter that night so that Bruce and I could finish up our Christmas shopping. So we are all ready for Christmas now and hope it comes sooner than later.
