flaws

Raise your hand if you have ever been threatened by a parent with this...

"Ill stop this damn car right now and leave you on the side of the road!!!"

Umm me. Plenty of times when I was younger.

Raise your hand if you as a parent have yourself spoken those same exact words to your dear sweet never do anything wrong chitlens.....

So we are in Nebraska now. Our house closed on Friday and the kids and I flew out early that morning in time for my 450 signatures on non important papers. We are still in the great motel for a few more days to make sure every inch gets cleaned before our junk gets moved in. Which means we are BORED out of our minds. Which means cranky kids, mean moms, filthy rooms, trips to sonic and lots of drives.
As we were on our Sunday drive down by the river Leah was out of control. I dont remember what it was about...something along the lines of I want more candy, or let me suck on Mayas binky (which got thrown out the window) I littered, I feel bad about it. Anyhoo...
Paul stopped sudden, flung open the door and went straight for Leah, who knew it was coming. She was already in the front seat clinging to my neck. She was scared out of her mind. Asher was in the back screaming "Dont touch Leah!" (they are very protective), Maya wasnt understanding any of it with her cute grin, and me? I was hysterically laughing my guts out. And that is where my flaw lies....
I laugh at things that shouldnt be funny. Like if a kid biffs it bad, a really sobby testimony, a dad trying to punish a child ,people yelling, kids getting shots....f-u-n-n-y.

I think I may need some help with this flaw. In no way is some of this the least bit nice/normal/thoughtful.
I need a little laughter in my life right now though. Or else I might go crazy. For real.

I just got yelled at by my dad so its time to go private....

If you like my crappy humor, damns and hells, and cute kids....leave me your addresses.

I took a quick trip to Nebraska to spend some time with Paul. It was a great weekend with no kids,sleeping in until 10 okay...11 am, and home town diners.  Our house is set to close on the 29th of the month and we are chomping at the bit to get out there and get settled. I think I just may really like this small town where tractors rule the highways, everything shuts down for high school graduation, bald eagles fly freely, and diners are still cash only.  See for yourself..... 

The house. I still love it and dream about what I'm going to do with it, inside and out.

One of the main roads. We found a nice little truck at the local car dealership...to get it or not...that is the question......?

Paul's home for the month.  Man I would have gone crazy there with the kids. 
There is actually a college near by,Peru State. The town population of about 150 people grows significantly when its school time.  I may even become a Peru Bobcat myself.

Some countryside....

I just have to say it......

UTAH NEEDS TO TAKE A CHILL PILL! ST GEORGE NEEDS TO TAKE A CHILL PILL!

I feel like I am in who-ville. Hustle and bustle. buy this. buy that. look like this. look like that. drive this. drive that. live here. be this. enhance this. eat here. wear this. bla bla bla.


*Please know that I do love it here. I love that I grew up here. I love that my kids love it here. But I am soooo glad to JUST visit*

Good night.

Guess what I got to do this past week? A lot.  We moved to Nebraska, Paul started at Cooper Nuclear Station, I flew with the kids to Utah, and got to go to 2 weddings.

Meet the newest Thomas'.  Krissy is my beautimous cousin and Aaron in one lucky man.

Krissy and my sister Julie are now married to brothers. Something Jessica and I dreamed about lots growing up.  Have fun living out our middle school dreams girlies :).

After the Thomas wedding I got in my kidless car and drove to Salt Lake in sweet serene 4 hour silence to go to our good friends Deron Spencer and Ashley Ha's wedding. Deron worked with Paul for 6 years in the navy and somehow someway he wound up with one of the most beautiful girls around.  I could only go to the temple and then had to make my way back to SG but it was wonderful to see them. Aren't they beautiful?

Look at this Debenham bunch. Its always a party when they are around. I hardly ever get to see my bestest Jessica and her beautiful kids. 
They had a slammin reception at the base of Zions National Park.  It was beautiful.

Leah probably ate 3 of those. That's what goes on when Aunts babysit.

Asher, Kimi, and Summer

 Such a beautiful picture of my sister Lyndsi.  

We are staying in Utah until we close on the house we are buying. 

The kids have adjusted nicely and are in their daily routine of pool hopping and popsicle popping. 

                                            And here is how I fixed my yellow hair.  Please don't let me EVER color it again. The end.
