Crazy Week!

Wow, some weeks I am so bored with nothing to do, and other weeks I seem to be so busy that I don't get a chance to update my blog. To explain my crazy week. On Monday I woke up early to take Allie school shopping. She has pretty grown out of all of her pants and shirts, so we spent the morning get some much needed new clothes. Tuesday we made a trip to Walmart to buy the New Hannah Montana movie, the girls just love it. On Wednesday was Allie's back to school night at 6:30. I must be a dumb parent but on the note for the back to school night it didn't say when the first day of school was. So I just assumed that it was today, but at the meeting we found out school started on Thursday, and Caitlin had clinic on that day. Lucky her appointment was later in the day, so I was able to take Allie to school and Jake took off work so he could pick her up. Anyway Wednesday night was a pretty crazy night at our house, making sure everything was ready for school the next day. Thankfully everything worked out. Thursday we spent half of the day at clinic. On Saturday we went up to Preston to watch my little brother Kyle play soccer and then my family and us headed up to Bear Lake to swim and play on jet skis for a couple of hours and then we went to Pickleville Playhouse for dinner and to watch Annie get your gun. It was really fun, my parents got engaged there, and I have never been there before, so it was fun to go see it. We left during intermission since the girls were tired, and we all had a very long day. I was kind of surprised but the girls really liked the play. So all in all last week was pretty busy but full of fun.

Getting closer to the end!

Sorry it has been so long since I updated but we are kind of really boring people. We use to hardly stay home, but since Caitlin can't really go out any where there is germs, and our income has decreased a bit, we have turned into homebodies. Which someday I really love, and others I feel stir crazy stuck in the house. Anyway on Thursday we headed down to Primary Children's for the next round of maintenance chemotherapy. We are almost done as long as things continue to go well, I think we only have six more months left. Yeah!!! The hospital trip went pretty well, except that we were trying to get out of there quickly on Friday, since Allie had a Birthday party to get to at 4 pm. Of course, when you are in a hurry nothing seems to work out right. We didn't leave the hospital until noon, but we did make it home in time to clean up and head to the party. The party was a Princess party, and Ariel showed up. Allie had a lot of fun! On Friday night, my mom and I went to go see the Time Travelers Wife, it was really good. I liked it a lot more than the book. On Saturday, Jake and I went shopping for clothes for Caitlin, since colder weather will soon be here. At four we went to the Hancey family reunion, which was fun and the food was good. So today was a nice lazy day, well kind of. Caitlin figured she could wake up at 6:30 am, thanks to Jake who got up with her, and let me sleep in. But I did let him go back to sleep when I got up. So that was our week in a nutshell! Caitlin and I will be heading down to Primarys again on Thursday for a quick clinic appointment for more chemo. We are hoping that these last few treatments go by fast.

Preston Night Rodeo and Parade!

Last weekend, was the Famous Preston Night Rodeo and Parade. The girls and I went up Friday night to watch the parade. Unfortunately Jake had to work that night, and doesn't have many vacation days left, so we figured we better save them. Allie just loves parades, I bet you can't guess why, the candy of course. Caitlin loves the music, she doesn't really care about the candy just yet. After the parade, we went to my mom's and hung out with my family, and watched movies. On Saturday, Jake met up with us, and we went and walked around the sidewalk sale, and then my family all went to eat lunch at Big J's, I just love their cheeseburgers. After that we went back to my parents to escape the heat and wait for the parade. We watched part of the X-games and then we outside and played the basketball game PIG. Saturday's parade was better than Fridays, Walmart threw a ton of candy. Then we went to my Mom's for Navajo tacos and put the girls to bed and watched the new Fast and Furious movie. On Sunday my little brother Kenny was ordained an elder, and we took some family pictures. We also went and ate at Grandma's Hugies, she is a really good cook. So all in all, it was a pretty fun weekend. Thankfully both my girls are doing pretty good right now, so they got to enjoy the fun too.
