Da Tondo!

I just got back from St. George! This time we went with everyone and it was so much fun!! We talked and laughed until our sides hurt!!

PS- Sam calls our condo "Da Tondo" currently.

GALOON!

We just went to LAGOON! Me, Princess, and Daddy went for an afternoon and had a really good time. We mostly rode the super-scary stuff. Princess rode everything w/ us, even the Wicked Rollercoaster that I just had to show above. She even rode the towers that blast you up. We had a really good time and hope to go again soon to use our Season Passports. :)

St. George

Be-yoo-tee-ful.

We arrived on Thursday, and had a great time. We swam, played basketball, went bowling, watched TV and movies,did Easter crafts, and relaxed. It was awesome! It felt sooo good to relax and slack off for a couple of days. We got to dye Easter eggs and do fun crafts on Saturday when there was a bit of rain. Other than Sat. Morning, the weather was warm and gorgues. And the food. The food was a-maz-ing!!! We ate at In-N-Out Burger, Tom's Deli, Bear Paw Cafe, and Pizza and Pasta Factory. Remember those names, because those are the best resteraunts in the city. We had to go home Easter afternoon. All in all, it was incredibly excellent, and we can't wait to go back.

(Plus SamMan and Babooshka did super well in the car!!)

Off We Go!

After months of preparation, (or, if you want to be logical...) After a week and a half of preparation, it's finally here! Soon, we'll be off to St. George! SamMan has gotten the swim bag out a bunch, and his version of packing is getting a bag of pretzels, a blow-up swim carrier, and his swimsuit and informing us he's ready to go. He told Mo yesterday, after spending various times during the week in just a swimsuit, "Mommy, today I will wear my swimsuit. It's not too cold. I'm going to go outside. OK??" Sticking to his stubborn traits, (now where in the heck did he get those from??) he wore his swimsuit around the house all day. It was the longest day of his, and Mo's. He has been absolutely sure for the last two weeks that today will be the day we will go. And when the kids got their third day off, he was crying for S-A-I-N-T G-E-O-R-G-E, (I'm scared to even type it, since we have him cleverly stalled with Out of the Box.) Luckily, the awesome,awesome Barneys let us escape with a Cafe Rio lunch, an easter egg hunt/dye, and jumping on the trampoline. It was so awesome, thank you Barneys!! After our escape, we ate leftovers and watched Idol.

Now, we wait, for the grand moment were we finally put our bags into the car, check our activity backpacks, pick up Grandpa Brent, and head out. YES!!!! :)

Jogusboy will be back Sunday. I hear Daddy coming back from the store, so I have a bit of work to do.

Bon Voyage.

I've been waiting for-ev-er to say that.

a verry happy and getting-ready-for-tropical-vacation jogusboy.

:)

See Post Below...

Last post, Jogus reentered. Jogus is back, and three minutes later!

Last post I said, "Maybe nothing interesting happened, though I know that one was not true. "

I know a very exciting reason that is not true.

Last Saturday, we made a goal list. If we are able to complete those goals we will go to... ST. GEORGE!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited. We'll go over Spring Break, that is if we go. I'm so excited!!!

The countdown is.... 5 days.

PS- Anybody who knows me thought that I must have every second planned the moment they read that we are going to St. George!! Sadly you are right. Tommorow's post will be that plan, though I strongly advise you to wait to visit the page until I've written something more interesting.

Peace Out,
jogusboy

Driving Along...

Um, can I just say that babooshka is NOT I repeat NOT an enjoyer of car trips. Um, can I say one more thing, that babooshka's gums are NOT I repeat NOT strong enough to suck a binky. So in the end, you either hold his binky in for 10-minute periods, or listen to him cry. It ended up a combo of both. But hey, after 8 hrs. in the car in a 30 hr. mini- trip, we're lucky nobody got hurt and nobody went completely insane.

3 hours to Burley. Whoever finds entertainment in reading about Isreal is the most easily-entertained person on the planet. True, I did enjoy reading about and studying histioric Christian sights,but still, who really likes this stuff! It was my book report book,so I just had to endure it. Here's what I got out of the timeline and most of the captions

One group killed another group, and then they stayed there for a few decades, until a group came back and killed them again.

But I got it finished. But then, I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. So I just kept my legs shaking until I was able to run inside the house and tinkle.

1 hour to Gooding- The 1 hour video game hour. Sam Fisher came along, so we played games on the iPod and DS. That's it!! Well, actually I just proved myself wrong. I did learn about my journey on Boy Scouts Of America.

4 hours back home again- Babooshka cried. I read. Harry Potter was blaring. That is all I remember.

Oh and PS,

10 minutes ago was the chosen time. The time where the Potty Movie goes back to the library.

Hopefully, he got something out of it, and he can continue a normal POTTY TRAINED life.

My First Post Labled Vacation!

It's time for a look at the fun in the vacation capital of the world... SOUTHERN IDAHO!!! OK, so maybe it may not be your first image that comes to mind when you think "luxury vacation" but it does come too mind when you think "cousin cabanza" or WEPR for short. This isn't even a official WEPR, but Grandma A's birthday wish was to see grandkids, so this post is from a Super 8. Not much room at grandpa's house, for this fam, folks. Yesterday we had homeade pulled pork sandwiches, chips, and salad for dinner. Followed by homeade brownies with John John Leprecaun's famous frostind. You know a brownie is gonna be good when 1/2 the brownie is chocolate frosting, Julie remarked. Atta girl Julie, you have figured out dessert tip 101-

If you want a brownie, no, just any dessert, to taste good, add a thick layer of chocolate frosting.

Yet, we didn't just go there to eat food, believe or not. Shockingly, we did other stuff too.

Like engaging conversations with adults + older cousins. And a shocking game of Movie Studio, where we had a lot of fun "filming" an action movie. Grandma A has a huge barn, so we can play it again with Fishers, Jacee, and Lehi Petersens.

Well, I'm off to the Continental breakfast. Cousins are coming at 9 to swim, and then we'll have a brunch. After play time, it's to the party!! Hooray!! Then, it's to the 3 hr. drive home. Ugh.
