Went home....
I dropped Chris off at the airport on Monday so he could go do some work in Florida. Before I was even back on the freeway, I had called my mom and told her I wanted to come visit. She of course was so excited and then told everyone else who also got excited, which got me excited. So here I am, in Washington. I left Orem at 9:00 pm on Monday night and drove 5 hours to Boise. The kids slept the whole way, minus quite a few wake ups. Addysin kept waking up saying "ouwee, ouwee!" because she obviously wasn't comfortable in her carseat. I never had to stop though! They slept pretty good. So I pulled into Meridian, ID at 2:00 am. Addysin wide awake until around 3:00 am. She was so excited about the hotel. So we slept from 3-7:30. When we're away from home she ALWAYS ALWAYS wakes up early because of all the excitement. It was even pitch dark in our room, and I couldn't convince her it was night. She thinks I'm a liar I guess. So I got just enough sleep, but I was a bit tired that day. After a free breakfast (I LOVE those), we got ready and left at 11. The remainder of the trip was about 5 hours. The kids slept the first 2 1/2 and the other 2 1/2 were not so good. Obviously the 10 hour trip went almost perfectly for the kids, but they were both crying as we pulled into my parents. I'm not looking forward to the trip back. I cant decide if I will use the same late night/nap time strategy. I think I will.

How FUN to be home. I bet everyone is happy to see you and good job taking the kids. Addysin thinks your a liar! HAHA that is just funny. I bet the night over will work again. It always did for me.
I was going to call this week to see if I could get a haircut! It's a good thing I didn't!! Have fun with your family.
You should stay at my house. I love in Boise, you are more than welcome. And, if you dont want to stay the night you can use it as a chance to let the kids rest and play. Anyways, email me if you do decide to stop here. My email is aug142004@gmail.com We would love to see you.
Wow! You are a brave woman! I'm glad that you made it there safely and I hope that you have a wonderful time! Please tell your Mom and family HI from us in AK! Thanks for the kind wishes, I was about 18 weeks in that picture. Almost halfway! I sure hope all is well and be safe on your way back! :)
