Tonight I decided to end the laziness and post once and for all. I'm sorry, but most nights I come home and the very thought of uploading pictures to blogger, arranging them one by one, and writing anything worth reading becomes overwheling! So, enjoy the fruits of my labor (haha, not really)! There's lots of pics, and one VERY funny video at the end-so hang in there!
We were so lucky to have the kiddos for spring break and the weekend after (or was it before, I can't remember)! Anyway, we decided to take them camping up in Oak Creek. This trip was total madness from the beginning. Halfway into Sedona (thru at least an hours traffc in construction) we got a text from Perry simply saying "You're gonna be short one tent, two sleeping bags, and a couple chairs..." Short a tent? Try NO tent at all. In our attempts to downsize from the big tent to the little tent, we forgot A tent alltogether! We weren't about to buy an overpriced tent in Sedona so we decided we'd tough it out, maybe sleep in the car and make the best of it. Suprise numbero dos-Oak Creek canyon was PACKED! Must be a popular spring break destination, not that we planned on that ahead of time! Suprise number three-snow?! We were so not expecting snow at all! Granted, there wasn't tons, but it was cold and we simply weren't prepared for this kind of weather! We drove thru Oak Creek and pulled off at some camp ground in Flaggstaff...watched a retard get stuck in the snow...watchd the retard almost remove his front bumper in an attempt to get out...had fun with a small campfire, and showed the kids how to roast marshmallows-which...they SO did NOT dig t all! WTF? Thanks to Aunt Devra who let us crash at her trailor for the night-the kids totally had blast there!
When we got back in town, lil Austin came down with a little cold. This child FREAKS come medicine time. He'd rather be miserable than choke down a couple teaspoons of medicine. We thought we were sooooo sly when Cody and I got the bright idea to mix his medicine into his "kid beer"...Not so sly tho...Did you know that Dim.a.tap doesn't dissolve in orange C.rush? We shook it for a good while and lil Trinny caught us and ratted us out to Austin! Stinker!
Luckily, we not only got his medicine dissolved, but also convinced him that Trin was LYING! :) And wouldn't you know, of all the nights, he chose that night to NOT drink all his soda! Again, the joke was on us!
The weekend of conference we all packed up and headed to Yuma so the boys could work and the girls could play! Jordin took Marci and I shopping and come lunchtime, THIS is the burrito he ordered! It looked like brain on a plate-not even joking! Poor guy couldn't quite finish it, but Cody helped him out a few hours later! 
Poor cody. He was pretty miserable our weekend in Yuma, and for a while after that. He's too stubborn to go to the doctor so of course he waited till he thought he was dying. This is him the Wednesday before easter, running a 103 degree temp. Silly boy was hallucinating till I got some Motrin in him to bring down the fever! He finally went to the doctor Friday morning, and, as I suspected, he was sent immediately for a CT scan and from there we were told to head straight to John C Lincoln. He spent friday night on pain meds, and unable to eat-poor guy was so hungry, but until they figured out what was wrong with him, they made him starve! First, we were told that he had free fluid in the abdomen, and possibly a perforated intestine...so scary! (I'm imagining myself changing cholostomy bags for the rest of my life!) Then we were told pancreatitis...then we settled on a possible gall bladder problem. Saturday morning he was taken for a scan to check gall bladder function and by Saturday night he was in surgery to remove it! Our first Easter was spent together on a hospital bed in JCL but we really had a blast! We just hung out, napped, watched some lame tv, and enjoyed some relaxing time! (Is it sad that the hospital was relaxing? I swear I can't sit down and chill out unless I'm forced to)!
I couldn't figure out how to flip this video around, but it's too hilarious NOT to post it! This is lil Trinny, in all her boyish glory showing us how to fart with our armpits! Notice the licking of the hand in the very begnning-I'm sure this makes for a louder fart-this girl sure has some talent here!
So, that's us. We're loving life and having so much fun together!
