House Hunting

So we were two weeks away from getting a house and the people just backed out of the deal. I really have no idea how they could do this since they had already excepted our offer. I guess they decided not to sell their house or wait to sell it or something. This is the second offer we have put in and this is the second time that the people have suddenly decided not to sell their house. Seriously why did you put it up for sell if you weren't going to sell it that just doesn't make sense.

Birthday

So Saturday was my Mom's birthday. I just wanted to let everyone know how much I love and appreciate my Mom. She is so great and would do anything for me or Adam even if it means staying up until three in the morning helping me make a recipe book for Brittany's shower when she has to work the next morning. One of the biggest things that I have learned from my Mom is that even though it nice to have a super clean house that's not what your kids will remember they will remember all the things that they got to experience. I hope that one day when I have kids I can be as great a mom to them as my mom has been for me. Saturday night for her birthday we had a family dinner at my house. I made lasagna and it turned out okay just a little salty since the top came off of the salt when I was making the sauce for the lasagna. Oh and our swamp cooler decided to stop working on Saturday so it was roasting hot in my house when everyone came over for dinner.

I guess the lasagna was edible since Cody, Addisyn and Robyn ate it too.
Brittany and Andy had to eat by themselves because they came an hour late
We all went in together and got her a GPS

I'm surprised we didn't burn the house down with all those candles

Union Station

So I couple of weeks ago I saw on my sister-in-law Crystal's blog that they went to Union Station and I thought that this would be really fun to do with Addisyn. So, Saturday after the parade we went to look at the trains. Addisyn had been really excited to go ever since I told her that we were going to see trains and she kept telling everyone that we were going to ride the trains. Unfortunately there were no trains to ride but we did get to climb on them. It was super fun and my Mom told me about how when she was a kid they used to play tag on the trains and that they used to climb on top of them to get away from the person who was it. Surprisingly no one ever got hurt. They had a machine that smashed penny's so I decided that it would be fun for Addisyn to have one to remember the day by. She loved it she carried it around in her pocket the rest of the day and would let people look at it but she wouldn't let them touch it.

I thought this picture was so cute with her laughing everytime I tried taking a picture she would say cheese which would make her pull a weird face.

I thought that it was funny that the wheel was so much bigger than her
She loved pushing the button to make the train go
The train would go through a tunnel and come out at the other end of the display this is Addisyn and my Mom waiting for the train to come out of the tunnel

Roy Day's

Saturday was a very busy but fun day. First it started off with the Roy Day's parade. I was babysitting my niece Addisyn because my sister was at education week in Idaho and her husband Cody had to work. She spent the night Friday so that I didn't have to go pick her up in the morning. We thought that the parade started at nine but it really started at nine thirty so we were waiting for a really long time for it to start. It was really fun but it was the longest parade I have ever been to. My mom and Brittany both had to leave before the parade was over because it was so long.
