Well I just returned from my family vaction in Durango, CO.. It was a blast and we ALL had such a great time... here is how it went down...
Wednesday- Kristin, Brandon, Zach and I wanted to suprise my parents and everyone else and go down there first.... and so that was great we left about 9 or so in the morning and started what is supposed to be the 6 or 7 hour drive down... Well after 5 stop of road construction.... getting gas.... some more road construction, an accident that closed both sides of the highway... we finally made it 9 hours later.... Needless to say we were VERY happy to get there!!!! So we got the trailor set up and about that time, My parents, brother and Kennedy showed up.... so we helped them set up their trailor and just hung out!!!
Thursday- Both my sisters families showed up and we had yummy breakfast and then took the kids swimming, and just hung out, especially because we told ourselves there were going to be NO trips into the Wal-Mart!!!
Friday- ALL the boys went fishing, so that left us girls and the kids back at the camp... we played and got dirty and swam, went for walks.... Then that night we ALL went to the Bar D for dinner and to watch the Bar D wranglers... They did some new songs and it was hilarious.... Jack probably enjoyed it the most!!!!
Saturday- It was time for girls day out.. And let me tell you it was an adventure.... Who would of thought that 5 ladies dressed in the same shirt would of caused such a riot on the streets of Durango... We let me tell you, we got every comment from "Oh did they have a sale on those shirts", to " Do you guys sing and dance?", to "Oh look triplets" (keep in mind that there were 5 of us"... Anyways-- we went to the Farmers Market, went into some fun shops and then had lunch at Tequilas.... After that we went back to the camp and it was boys against girls in Jungle Ball at the pool.... Needless to say the boys won, but I do have to say that we did give up a good fight.... We did try everything though from putting the shoe in our swimsuits to trying to cheat... but nothing worked... those boys are just to strong!!! but we will get you NEXT time boys!!! You are going down!!!
Sunday- It was pack up, get some free pancakes at the cafe... and say goodbye to my parents, and drive home... this time it only took us 6 hours and it was great... on the way home we did pass by some polygamist houses... it was creapy!!!! but I really wanted to see some of them!!!
Anyways- I love my family... I can't see to get enough of them and I had a great time!! And to let everyone know... we still are famous and the picture is still in the Mild to Wild Brochure of us rafting!!! Woohooo!!!

Last NIght
So last night I decieded that I needed to clean out some things in my room and so I started with under my bed..... Since I moved in to my house now I just threw boxes under my bed and left them... So last night I went through it and am getting rid of probably 95% of what was under there... I also had some plastic tubs on the side of my bed that I just went through last night too.... Anyways, apparently I like hats or atleast found some that I had and took some pictures!!! Haha, yes I know I am a dork... and then there are some other pictures of what I am getting rid of and how the side of my bed looks now!!! It feels so good to clean... its the closet and drawers tonight!!

We need to have a Moment of Silence....
To all my faithful El Paso readers we need to once more have a moment of silence... This time in memory of the Newscast Duo on ABC 7, Gary Warner and Estela Casas... Gary Warner has retired and I am so VERY sad about that... I must say that I did get a little teary eyed when I watched the final newscast from my computer..... What a guy!!!!

But don't you worry I am still rockin it out!

St. George....
This weekend I had the chance of going with Kristin and Zach down to St. George for some cousins wedding... We had a blast--- we stayed at the Hampton Inn and were able to go see the temple, lay out by the pool, drive around town, eat at the In and Out Burger, and EVEN get a Little Ceasars $5 pizza (which by the way in St. George was $5.99) Anyways-- I had a blast and would love to go back there again!!!!!

I am totally in love with
Coke ZERO--- and think its pretty much the greatest thing made since I don't know what (along with Dr. Pepper).... Its just too bad the hospital Cafe doesn't carry the darn thing!!! That would make my life alot happier!!! Oh the simple things in life that make me happy...
Anyways--- I am in a little bit of a panic tonight... I can't seem to find the bottoms to my swimsuit because I am leaving tomorrow to go to St. George... and from what I hear the weather is pretty much WONDERFUL.... Well wish me luck that I find it... if not looks like someone here is gettin a new swimsuit!!! Woohoo!!!!
Pictures to come later... You can find me pool-side on Saturday!!!
