Oh, what a week!

To recap the rest of the visit with my mom, we did much more shopping, went to Pensacola Beach in Florida, ate out a gazillion times and played with the kids! We also got a pedicure and manicure- my mom's first! We had a wonderful time and it was so sad to see her go home today. It just didn't seem like a long enough time! H bawled at the airport and I was crying more than I have the past few times saying good-bye too. My mom and I are really close, especially since I am an only child and for many years it was just her and I until she remarried. I will post pictures of some of the things we did soon.

I am praying that the pinkeye isn't back. Zach woke up this morning with crusted eyes and his one eye is pink. He says its just allergies (we're all suffering from that), but it looks like pinkeye! This is getting very frustrating! Why can't everybody get it at once if they're going to get it!?!?! Speaking of allergies...I've been suffering for weeks and may have to make a doctor appointment at this rate. I cannot stop coughing a dry cough. Any advice???

I've had my phone attached to my hip in anticipation of my friend calling to say she's in labor. She is having a home birth and I will be going to watch/assist. I have never seen an actual birth (besides my own children of course) and I am very excited to get to be there. So I sit and wait with her! Her contractions are all wacked out. A few days ago they were 5-10 minutes apart, but mild and I haven't heard from her since!

I've been wondering a lot about the whole casino thing. I'm sure some people who read my blog may be shocked that I went to one! I know our church teaches against them. But, does going to a casino once mean that I"m going to hell? I think not! Anyway, I just wanted to comment on that.

Well, I will post pictures later. Time to catch up on email and all that fun stuff! It will be nice to return to my internet addiction;) Mom, when you read this- thanks so much for such a wonderful visit! We miss you already and can't wait until you come back.

How cool that you get to be at a homebirth! Last Spring, I was going to get to be at my friend's birth in the hospital. But it ended up that she went into labor in the middle of our move when our phone wasn't hooked up! I was so disapointed.

I used to go to the Mrq casino with Tina and play the nickel slots.

Glad you had so much fun with your mom there. I love it when we get to visit with family.

And I don't know if i could handle watching someone elses birth. I am one of those people that can't even look at my own kid till they were completely out. They always ask me to look in the mirror here he comes, and I say Untuh, no thanks, to much icky stuff!! lol

Yea I had a great time with you and the kids. Thank you so much for being so gracious to me and having me in your home. I miss you already too and I won't be visiting next year. Don't forget to give the kids some loving from me. I will miss that the most. Let Josiah know that I am hugging and kissing him everday! Thanks Jo and Gabe for letting me play cars, G.I. jo's and just spending time with you. Thanks Gabe for letting me use your bed! I miss your cuddling Gabe. Thanks Hannah for letting me play in your room with you and sleeping with you as well. Playing barbies was fun. Try to let Gabe and Josiah in there a little more. It is okay if they play with your toys. You might find that you like to have them play dolls with you! I was truly blessed to have the time with you. Thanks to you all.
