Pocatello Here We Come

2/6/09-2/8/09

This weekend was my nephew Jaxson's 4th birthday, so we went down to celebrate with him. However, I forgot the camera! But we still had lots of fun.

The kids and I left on Friday to travel to Burley and meet Oscar who had been in Salt Lake City the day before. We made it in pretty good time and the boys were excited to see their dad. The boys were WIRED by the time we got to Grandma and Grandpa Bullocks, so it took a lot of coaxing to get them to bed that night.

The next day we got to visit with all my siblings. Steven came over with his sweet girl Jackie and her cutie Adin (he is getting big). My dad wanted to have a 'steak fry' that night (which he is famous for having) and asked me what I wanted so he could make a store run. He about fell out of his chair when I told him I wanted a steak (I usually choose chicken), but not one of those huge ones he gets for himself. So my brother Michael took my dad shopping to Costco since he is the one with the card, and we got to visit with him and Krysten before the birthday party. Michael and Krysten are expecting their first baby on August 6th. I'm so excited for them, but I'm jealous because Krysten is absolutely glowing and has just a cute little tummy. Standing next to her I felt like a humpback whale!! Good grief, I wish I had my camera, because I'm not kidding. She looks GREAT! And she can even out eat my brother which is a HUGE accomplishment (have to know Michael).

At the birthday party I got to visit with my sister and watch my nephew bounce off the walls. Its was great! They played pin the nose on the clown and Jaxson and Parker both peeked through the blindfold, I couldn't stop laughing. They also played musical pillows which was down right hillarious!! Mason thought he needed to sit on the same exact pillow each time, but when Zachary tried to sit on it, he shoved him off! Kennedy didn't feel like playing so she just watched, and Raegan was cute as ever trying to be the center of attention. When we first got there I went to give her a hug and got the biggest Skank Eye ever!! Boy is she good at dirty looks! I laughed but of course Oscar would have none of it and picked her up, and she started crying for her mommy. It was very funny and sad at the same time. By the time we left for home she was smiling at us and giving her mommy dirty looks!

I was glad we made the trip and got to have a couple of days relaxing and visiting. Thanks Dad and Mom for all your help, love you lots! See you next time, and I'll remember the camera too.
