I have so much to blog about! We (me and the 3 kiddos) had our summer trip to New Mexico to visit my parents, granny and jo. It was so great! I can not express how much I NEEDED that break when it came. I was so burnt out with babysitting and things, it couldnt have come at a better time for me! The kids and I loaded up at 500 am on June 11th and I DROVE ALLLLLL DAAAAY LOOOOONG!~ We arrived at my parents at 830pm...It was the longest stinking drive of my life. Not to mention that Savanna got carsick and we had to keep stopping to puke along the way. Unfortunately we didnt make it to stop a few times...it was gross. So when we arrived to Rawlins we stoppped at ALCO and I bought my traveling lifesaver...dramamine! WOOHOO! I gave a half to all 3 kids and we were traveling along...about 30 minutes after the drugs...and I looked Oaks and Weylon and they were so passed out their little heads were down to there knees, cheetos were still in hand, and drool city. In fact I stopped and checked the pulse on them after a while cause they didnt move from that position for so long! haha. Unfortunately it didnt work on Savanna. The ONE WHO WAS CAR SICK! She puked out the pill and chatted the entire way to NM! We had so much fun at Nana and Pa's house too. Em and the kids where there and they had so much fun swimming in the big pool and playing! Me and Em had a great time visiting like old times. Poor mom had had surgery on her foot and she was in quite a bit of pain still, so we helped as much as we could and as much as she would let us. She is quite stubborn in that department. Weylon and Porter (KiLeigh's oldest boy) had so much fun together. They played cars and on the "tweeter twotter". Porter called Weylon dude and Weylon called Porter buddy. It was really cute. One of the highlights was going to the ALB temple with mom and granny to get Stoney's temple work done. That was so special. You could feel the spirit the moment we sat down in the chapel. Granny had Chesley do the work. It was so amazing to be there for that special day. And the fact that I hadnt done session for so long. It was a good spiritual feeding for the day! And Aunt Jo took my 3 kids to Toy Story 3. It was the highlight of their trip! She got them popcorn, drink and candy! And they are still talking about it!
Well, when I got home Brandon had quite the surprise too! He had been himhawing about getting a camper for a while now. So he did it. And we took it camping this weekend to Sturgis and it was GREAT! There was a bluegrass festival. So there was good food, good music and a nice place to sleep too! Cant beat that kind of camping! On the way home, Weylon was whining and fussing a storm up. Brandon said, "knock that off or I am gonna stop and let you out of this truck!" Well OakLeigh didnt like that at all and shouted to daddy, "Dont you throw WeyWey out. He's my freind!" And then she grabbed his arm and scolded daddy. It was great. Then Savanna saw Brandon give me a kiss and she said with her toothless grin, 'ooh daddy you can kiss and hug and have a romantic time together". Where do they come up with this stuff? It was cute though! All in all, it has been a great past few weeks. We now have this week to prepare for the Felkins Family reunion. We are all meeting over at moon lake in utah. I am excited to see all my brothers. Let the kids all play together. And see my parents again. And one of the best parts is, is that we have a camper this time. I wont be the one so stinking sore from the dang ground and having a rock in my back all night! WOOOHOOOO!
Thats been my life in a nutshell the past few weeks. Will post again after the reunion. Maybe I will actually remember a camera for that one. I didnt have one at all for my parents house. I hate it when that happens! See you in the funny papers!
