babysitting....airplanes....a bug...and pudding

Ok so it has been about a month since i last blogged so here is our life since then.....June was quite a busy month for us.....the beginning was pretty regular for us and just hung out and played a lot....then our neighbors went on vacation so the girls and i went over and stayed 10 days at their house while i watched their 3 girls and my 2....wow all i can say was the bigger the family the louder it is....we dont have a whole lot of noise at our house....yes the girls can get a little loud at times but to add 3 pre teen to teenage girls to the mix things were pretty crazy in a good way.... they are like my little sisters and love taking care of my girls....they have real life baby dolls to play with.....

well we finished that on the 27th of June and then had to pack some stuff and get them ready for their trip to texas with their dad....the last couple days i was babysitting Layna had a pretty good fever for what we are used to. It started on that Wednesday night..... she was fine after some tylenol but woke up with another fever.... you can tell she didnt feel good by the look on her face and her allowing you to just cuddle on her....she usually is too busy running around to allow you to do that....the tylenol had helped Thursday as well but Friday morning she woke up with another fever so i called the doctor and they had me bring her in.....the doc said her throat was inflamed a little and they checked for strep but it cameback negative so i was to just watch her.....she still looked so sad and she would walk around crying that she didnt feel good so sunday she still looked horrible and i knew she was going on a plane so i took her to the doctor again noticing right before we get there that she has a rash on her stomach,back and some on her face...the doctor said the rash was a good sign meaning that since her fevers had broken the rash was a sign she was getting better and that she did...the rash only lasted a couple days and then she was perfectly fine...always seems to be miss layna....

so wednesday july 1st i met up with the girls and the johnsons to say goodbye and take pictures of their first time on an airplane....i had gone a little crazy the week before because i was not the one packing for the trip brandon was and i was trying to make sure he had everything,,,, im the kind of girl that is very organized when i travel and it was hard to take a back seat to that but finally i did cause i knew brandon would get everything they needed..... the girls loved the airport because they had so much to look at!!! i took some pictures, helped with some luggage and said a VERY QUICK goodbye and off they went (they were running a little behind.) I just sat and watched them go through security....my dad was there to help....he got such a kick out of it!!! brandons mom was so cute and yelled back at me that everything will be ok....this was the longest i had been away from them and wow it was weird.... it was too quiet and i found myself quite bored at times...i did get some good relaxation time in and lots of time by the pool and hanging out with good friends.... but i missed them so much!!! the 4th was so weird without them...my good friends sat with their kids and watched fireworks and all i wanted were my girls but it was still a fun day....( my dad had made amazing italian sausage which always puts me in a good mood!) the girls were gone a week and on wednesday the 8th i went to the airport....(man do i hate driving there....i am always in the wrong lane and freak myself out) but i went and picked them up and they were so cute and tired from a long day....i was SO happy to have them back!!!

THey came home Wednesday and THursday night my sister got very sick by like 8 pm and by 11 pm i had gotten the same thing....throwing up like no tomorrow.... i felt so horrible....that Friday morning Cam had finally woken up and my mom went in to get her and she had gotten sick in her crib too....half the house was on their death bed.... brandon was taking them for the weekend and it took everything i had to get them ready to go see him and drive to salt lake and meet up with him....that stupid bug got my mom a little bit with my dad and pretty much my entire neighbors house.... it was the strangest thing....and brandon did get it sunday because the girls had given it to him.... Layna was a lucky one and never got it...cross my fingers....

Now this week....been getting over that dumb bug....last night my moms bank did a kick off party for the harry potter for friends and family and clients of the bank at the Megaplex THeathers.... My mom, sister, her friend Cato and I went out to the one in daybreak to watch the movie...its quite a cute event and my mom even had to say some things....she is too funny....the movie was kinda blah to me....its my least favorite out of all and i know some people might be saying im crazy...im no fanatic of harry potter but have seen and enjoyed every movie.....and now we are getting ready and packing for CALIFORNIA on Saturday....I am beyond excited for my family to go.....beach house in San Diego for a week or so....Sea WOrld the Zoo...extended family we havent seen in forever....it will be a great vacation.....
