OINK OINK!

Das and I were invited to a Halloween party last Saturday at his friend Joe and Kim. We were definitely planning on going, but had no idea what to go as.  We had just gotten back from our trip a couple of hours before the party started.  So we headed over to the Halloween store to see what we could come up with.  I said,"Let's go as pigs!"  Since I already look like one. lol  And this is what Das thought I meant.=)

Everyone was asking me if that was my real belly.  I know....very gutsy of me to bare it all.  But Das loved it.  He actually painted to whole thing for me and glued on the nipples.  We were in such a hurry that it didn't quite dry in time, but it worked.

Thanks guys for showing us a great time.  We love Halloween!

Drive home....Last post of our trip

I had packed everything I could think of to entertain the boys on our road trip.  Movies, DS's, puzzles, treats, homework, books, ect.  The only thing they ended up doing was playing our ITouches, and their DS's.  Through out the whole drive we stopped more than usual so I could use the bathroom.  All though, the doctor recommended it to avoid blood clots and swelling.

We took the scenic ride home.  The first half of the drive was great.  We planned on getting to St. George aroun 8 or 9.

But about 45 minutes out of Kanab, we got to a road block.  The passage way to St. George was closed.  We asked the cop where the signs were.  He said about 30 minutes back.  We looked for those signs on our way back, and there was only one.  It wasn't even posted at the turn off.  There was nothing else telling us that we were gonna be screwed if we kept going.  It was rainy and dark at this point and made it very unpleasant.  Das and I were both livid.  We then had to drive another hour to the other passage way to St. George.  On top of that, the GPS wasn't working.  It wanted us to drive down some dirt road.  We ended up pulling into St. George aroun 11.  We were exhausted.  But it was nice to stay at my parents condo and get a good nights sleep.

The next part of our trip....ARIZONA

Das had a training in Arizona, and asked us to come along.  So we ended up just driving from San Diego.  The boys did suprisingly well the whole trip.  When we got their, Das had a chance to get together with some friends.  The first night he met up with Brandon Carr to watch some Monday night football.  Tuesday night he took the boys out for dinner so I could get a break.  Wednesday night we met up with the Carr's.  It was my first time finally meeting them, and their family is wonderful.  It was Brandon's birthday--Happy Birthday Brandon! 

We met at Culivers.  The food was awesome, especially their cheese curds.  And Das got a cake for afterwards.  Their kids are quite entertaining.  The boys didn't want to leave.  Thanks for a great night Brandon and Carrie!  Can't wait to see you guys again....hopefully sooner than a year.:)

I spent the days sitting by the pool with Tristan and Ashton.  It was very relaxing and helps when I have a really great book to read.  The pool time ended for us though when my 4 year old pooped in the pool. Nasty!  Thursday night Das met up with his friends Dan and Brandon to go to dinner and a movie.  I took the boys out for chinese and rented a movie.  The trip was great and so sad it is over.  They always go by way to fast.  My next blog will be the interesting story of us driving home.  Was the worst part of the whole trip!  Thanks to Das though for a wonderful vacation and for taking such good care of us.  I know I say it all the time, but we are truely blessed to have you in our lives.  I got the whole package!

For those of you on facebook, I am sure you saw this already.  Das had just run down to the car to grab some stuff.  Out the window I saw some cop cars drive along the beach.  So I stepped out on our patio to check it out.  To my surprise I saw a car in the ocean.  This isn't the best pic.  You can see the police cars shining a spotlight on the car.  I hurried and called Das telling him a car was out their.  He thought I had gone crazy.  He got up there and was shocked to see it as well.  The car kept sinking.  It was a nice yellow convertible.  Some out of stater had rented it and was dared to drive along the beach.  They obviously fled the scene.  It was so crazy to see it.

This is me facebooking about it the next morning. lol

Sea World

 This is our day at Sea World.  We took so many pictures and videos that I obiously cant post them all.  We started off by going to all the shows-Sea otters, dolpins, and Shamu.  Tristan and Ashton couldn't wait to see the sharks.  So we spent a lot of time there.

They have put in several rides since I was there.  I wish I could have ridden them.  Tristan was so scared so we had Ashton ride with Das first.  We promised Tristan he wouldn't have to ride this roller coaster if Ashton hated it.  Das said Ashton was very excited when they got on but the look of fright came at the top of the coaster.  I guess it was faster than we thought.  When they pulled back in I asked Ashton if he had fun?  He yelled NO and wouldn't talk to Das for a bit after. lol  Tristan wouldn't ride it.

                           

                         We then went to a 3D show.  This was great!  Things flew right at our faces, and then are would shoot out, or water would spray on us.  The boys thought it was scary and kept taking their glasses off.

                            

Our last ride was the rapids.  I snuck on this one.  But yet I couldn't sneak onto the tea cups.  STUPID! 

Tristan was a little worried about the huge waterfal coming up, about to soak us all.  Das gets a good laugh when they are frightened.

                           

Das got some great pictures.  The day was a lot of fun.  I am glad we didn't end up doing Disney Land though.  I was hurting after walking around so much at Sea World.
