Elko, Who Knew?
So,
But it was a super fun vaca. We had a fun 3 and a half hour car ride down, much to my surprise. Gavin was quite entertained the whole way. I had some stickers that I forgot I left in his coloring book. They are his rewards stickers I use at home. Like if he throws away his diaper or sits in the shopping cart while I shop. He loves them and since he only gets one at a time I am sure he was in Heaven. I looked back and he had them all lined up, saying his letters what a funny kid.
He also thought it was fun to sing a lot of songs along the way. Like Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, My name is Giraffe(one I made up), and the muppets song that I have no idea how to spell. He was laughing so hard and wanted us to sing it again and again and again. He got a little camera shy cause he was laughing way harder before I tried to get this video.
After Jason got back we from work that night. We went to dinner at the only sit down place in town, Wingers. I had wings in honor of my dad. Wingers is his favorite place to eat at when he comes to Utah. My favorite thing is the desert. Asphalt Pie is the bomb, I recomend it to everyone.

On Thursday, we all took a mini road trip to Elko, Nevada. Jason had to check out some sites along the way for his job and had a few meetings. So Gavin and I decided that we wanted to tag along. We have been there once before and the hotel has a decent swimming pool and hot tub. Gavin and I went swimming while Jason was working that afternoon.
I must say that I didn't have super high expectation for an amazingly fun trip. It was just a way to all be together and get out of the norm. About five minutes into the trip we got a flat tire, and I was thinking oh this is going to be a great trip.

So then we went out to find a park. And we found maybe the coolest park I have ever seen. It was all wooden with towers, slides, teepees, boats and lots of space to run around in. The park had signs on it every where you turned with the people that donated money to have it built. How cool is that? I want to build one here. Or wherever I live. Here are some pictures. We had to go back the next day before we left to take pictures of the place in the daylight. And to play one last time before we left Elko. Even though it was a short trip to what would seem like a not so great town it was an awesome family get away.

A somewhat nervous mommy to be!
Hey Everyone,
My sister was recently here with her boys. It was a blast! Gavin still talks about them like they are magically going to be here when he wakes up. He love all his cousin and talks about them all the time. It's a could thing he is having a brother soon. He needs the company.

See why Gavin loves these guys.
He also loves all his Aunt and Uncles who love to spoil him. Especially "Auntie" Tamzen. She is one of the best mom's ever. And since I basically grew up watching her my whole life I hope some of that rubbed off on me.
Which brings me to the topic at hand. I am becoming more and more nervous to be a mommy of two. I would like to think that most of the time I have it together. Gavin has turned out to be more amazing than I could have dreamed up myself. But I feel like he came that way. But there are the times that I have a guilt full moment, day or week. Like I should have had more patients, or energy, or done more things with Gavin durning the day. What do any of you mom out there do to keep life happy and movin'? Somedays I am just out of ideas. Then I get nervous thinking of how would I handle two children at the store that are crying. Double of all the frantic moments. Of course there will be double of all the happy moments too. But all I can think of and worry about is the hard stuff right now. SO anyone have advice? Any books that I should read while I am anticipating the arrival of the new little guy? Ok and one more thing is I really want Gavin to stay as happy and loved as he is how do I make sure he doen't get jealous or feel like he is being put second.
Oh yeah and Jason just finished his first year of school! One more year to go, and it's over in June! Plus Jason has a month break right now. Finally I get my husband back for a little while.
