WE ARE HOME!!

WE HAD A WONDERFUL TRIP AND REALLY ENJOYED OURSELVES, BUT I AM SO HAPPY TO BE HOME! I DON'T THINK I COULD HAVE MADE IT ANOTHER DAY! I MISSED MY BOYS SO MUCH AND COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM! I DID GOOD THE WHOLE TRIP AND ONLY STARTED TO TEAR UP TWICE WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT THEM, BUT TONIGHT WHEN I WALKED IN AND SAW THEM I JUST COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!! THEY WERE HAPPY TO SEE US TOO! I KNOW FOUR DAYS DOESN'T SEEM THAT LONG, BUT THEY JUST LOOKED LIKE THEY HAVE GROWN AND CHANGED SO MUCH! AUSTIN IS WALKING EVERYWHERE NOW AND THEY BOTH JUST TALK AWAY!! THANK YOU MI MI, PAW PAW, GI GI, AND PAW FOR WATCHING THE BOYS! I COULDN'T HAVE LEFT THEM WITHOUT KNOWING THEY WOULD BE IN GREAT HANDS AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF!! I WILL HAVE TO GET SOME NEW PICS OF THE BOYS TOMORROW AND UPDATE THE BLOG! GI GI AND PAW KEPT THEM UP FOR US SO WE COULD SEE THEM! THEY WERE POOPED AND READY FOR BED WHEN WE GOT HOME, SO WE ONLY GOT TO SEE THEM FOR A FEW MINUTES!

CRUISIN'

WE RENTED A CAR FOR THE WEEK AND DID SOME SHOPPING AND SITE SEEING! THESE WERE JUST SOME OF THE PICS I TOOK WHILE WE WERE OUT AND ABOUT! THE SECOND ONE IS OF THE WIND MILLS! THEY WERE EVERYWHERE. RJ SAID THAT IS HOW THEY MAKE THEIR POWER! I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY NEAT! THE LAST ONE IS OF THE MOUNTAIN THAT WE TOOK THE TRAMWAY UP!

AERIAL TRAMWAY

THIS WAS ONE OF THE NEATEST THINGS I'VE DONE IN AWHILE,BUT ONE OF THE SCARIEST TOO!! IF YOU LOOK IN THE FIRST PICTURE YOU WILL SEE THE CABLE THAT GOES TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN, WHICH IS 8,516 FEET IN THE AIR!! ONCE WE REACHED THE TOP IT WAS AN INCREDIBLE VIEW!

MOMMY''S FAVORITE!!

YESTERDAY WE JUST RELAXED AT THE POOL ALL DAY!! IT WAS SO NICE TO JUST SIT AND DO NOTHING!! IT WAS SATURDAY, SO OF COURSE RJ HAD TO WATCH FOOTBALL! WE RENTED A CABANA WITH A TV IN IT SO HE WOULDN'T MISS ANY OF THE GAMES AND STILL BE OUTSIDE!!

FAREWELL DINNER

LAST NIGHT WE HAD A FAREWELL DINNER AT THE MCCOLLUM THEATER IN PALM SPRINGS! IT WAS A BIG SECRET THAT NO ONE NEW ABOUT UNTIL LAST NIGHT! WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE THERE AND THEY HAD THIS NICE DINNER SET UP FOR US AND THEN A BAND PLAYED WHILE WE ATE! WE THOUGHT THAT WAS IT AND THEN FRANK SINATRA MADE A SURPRISE VISIT AND DID A SHOW FOR US!! OF COURSE I ONLY KNEW LIKE ONE SONG, BUT IT WAS STILL FUN!

WE ARE HERE AND HANGING IN THERE!!!

WE ARE IN PALM SPRINGS, CA AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL HERE! WE HAVE ACTUALLY DONE ALOT MORE THAN I THOUGHT WE WOULD! I THOUGHT WE WOULD LAY AROUND AND CATCH UP ON LOST SLEEP, BUT WE'VE BEEN OUT AND ABOUT!! WE RENTED A CAR FOR THE WEEK AND HAVE BEEN OUT SITE SEEING AND SHOPPING! YESTERDAY WE TOOK THE TRAMWAY UP TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, WHICH WAS 9,000 FEET IN THE AIR AND VERY SCARY!! IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ONCE WE DID REACH THE TOP!!! TODAY WE WENT SHOPPING AND HAD LUNCH IN DOWN TOWN PALM SPRINGS! WE'VE HAD DINNER EVERY NIGHT WITH THE GROUP THAT WE ARE HERE WITH! IT IS BUSINESS RELATED WITH RJ, BUT ALL THE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE!! TONIGHT WE HAVE A BBQ DINNER AND TOMMORROW RJ HAS MEETINGS IN THE MORNING, SO THAT MEANS MOMMY WILL BE HANGING OUT AT THE POOL!!!! WE ARE HAVING FUN, BUT I MISS MY BOYS SOOOOOO MUCH!! WE TALK ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME AND SHOW OFF THEIR PICTURES!! I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO KISS THOSE SWEET LIL' LIPS!! THEY ARE DOING GOOD WITHOUT US THERE AND I'M SURE THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT WE ARE GONE! THEY ARE HAVING FUN WITH THE GRANDPARENTS AND WE CAN'T THANK THEM ENOUGH FOR TAKING CARE OF OUR BABIES WHILE WE ARE GONE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH; GI GI, PAW, MI MI, AND PAW PAW FOR TAKING CARE OF THEM!!! I HAVE LOTS OF PICTURES, BUT I CAN'T GET THEM UPLOADED HERE! I WILL HAVE TO SHARE THE PICTURES WHEN WE GET HOME! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND PRAY FOR OUR SAFE ARRIVAL ON SUNDAY NIGHT!!!

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!

THIS IS THE PICTURE I TOOK ON SUNDAY AFTER BEING AT THE HOSPITAL WITH AIDEN! I WAS SO WORRED ABOUT THE BOYS AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS GOING TO DO IF THEY WERE SICK WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE! WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR AND SAW THIS IT REMINDED ME THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM!! I KNOW THEY WILL BE JUST FINE WHILE WE ARE GONE! I JUST PRAY THAT I WILL RELAX AND ENJOY MYSELF AND MY TIME I GET TO SPEND WITH MY HUBBY!! I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD WEEK AND I WILL UPDATE SOON!! PRAY FOR OUR SAFETY AND THE GRANDPARENTS SANITY:)!! J/K

SSSSHHHHH.........DON'T TELL DADDY!! MOMMY HID US IN HER SUITCASE!!

YUMMY........AN AUBURN CUPCAKE!

MOMMY HAD TO TREAT THE BOYS TO A CUPCAKE BEFORE SHE LEFT SO THEY WOULD BE EXTRA NICE TO THEIR GRANDPARENTS:)!! AS YOU CAN SEE THEY REALLY ENJOYED IT!!

MOMMY'S BOYS!!

THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT IS NOT BAD ABOUT THE BOYS BEING SICK! THEY JUST WANT TO LAY AND LOVE ON MOMMY AND DADDY WHEN THEY ARE NOT FEELING GOOD! THIS WAS SUNDAY MORNING WHEN BOTH OF THE BOYS WOKE UP WITH FEVER'S AND WERE NOT FEELING GOOD AT ALL!

ANOTHER SICK ONE!!

JUST WHEN AUSTIN STARTS FEELING BETTER AIDEN STARTS FEELING BAD!! HE DIDN'T SLEEP ANY SATURDAY NIGHT AND WAS RUNNING A FEVER ALL DAY YESTERDAY! SO I CALLED THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND THEY SAID TO CARRY HIM TO CHILDREN'S! THANK GOODNESS MI MI WAS THERE AND TOOK CARE OF MY LIL MAN! HE ENDED UP HAVING TWO EAR INFECTIONS!! SO WE GOT HIM SOME MEDICINE LIKE BROTHER'S AND AFTER A COUPLE OF DOSES HE IS FEELING MUCH BETTER! I JUST WANT MY BABIES WELL BEFORE I HAVE TO LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY! PLEASE PRAY THAT THEY WILL GET BETTER AND STAY BETTER UNTIL I GET HOME!!

LIL' RJ!!

I THINK AUSTIN LOOKS MORE LIKE HIS DADDY WITH HIS HAIR CUT!! I KNOW FOR SURE THAT HIM LOVE'S HIS DADDY! HE WOULDN'T EVEN COME TO ME THIS MORNING WHEN HIS DADDY HAD HIM!! THEN DADDY HAD TO LEAVE AND HE HAD TO COME TO ME AND HE CRIED!!

PLAYING WITH OWEN!!

AUGIE, COURTNEY, OWEN, LYNN, AND SCOTT CAME OVER SATURDAY NIGHT TO WATCH FOOTBALL AND EAT CHILLY!! WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND THE BOYS HAD FUN PLAYING WITH OWEN! HE IS GETTING SO BIG AND CAN MAKE HIS WAY ACROSS THE ROOM TO ANYWHERE HE WANTS TO GO! I BET NEXT TIME THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER HE WILL BE CRAWLING ALL OVER THE PLACE! I'M SURE THESE LIL' BOYS WILL BE GETTING INTO SOME TROUBLE WHEN THEY GET OLDER!

LOVIN LIFE!!!

MY LIL' DAREDEVIL!!

I FINALLY BOUGHT THE BOYS THEIR OWN FOUR WHEELER, BUT I MADE A BIG MISTAKE AND BOUGHT JUST ONE!! I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY LIKED IT BEFORE I BOUGHT TWO OF THEM! BIG MISTAKE.......AUSTIN CLAIMED IT RIGHT AWAY! HE LOVES IT AND THINKS IT IS JUST HIS! POOR AIDEN HAS TO PUSH HIM AROUND ON IT ALL DAY! SO NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL BE BACK FOR ANOTHER ONE SOON!!

ON ANOTHER NOTE, MY LIL' MAN HAS BEEN SICK!! AUSTIN WOKE UP YESTERDAY MORNING AT 5:00 AND WAS NOT FEELING GOOD AT ALL! HE HAD A TEMPERATURE AND I THOUGHT MABEY IT WAS HIS TOOFIES,BUT HE JUST DIDN'T GET BETTER! SO I CALLED THE DOCTOR AND CARRIED HIM IN! HIS TEMPERATURE WAS 104.8 BY THE TIME I GOT THERE AND HE WAS SO PITFUL! IT BROKE MY HEART TO SEE HIM THAT WAY! HE ENDED UP HAVING A REAL BAD EAR INFECTION SO WE GOT MEDICINE AND HE SLEPT MOST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY! HE IS FEELING MUCH BETTER TODAY!! HOPEFULLY IT IS CLEARING UP AND HE WILL BACK TO HIS HAPPY SELF IN A DAY OR TWO!!
