Evening with the Overbaughs

Jason and Angie had never been on the Alpine Coaster in Park City, so we thought it would be a great activity to do with the kids. It had been so long since we'd all been together. We used to hang out all the time before we had kids and before they moved away from our hood. Angie and I see each other quite a bit, but it had been a while since we'd seen Jason.



We had a great time. We went to dinner at our favorite Midway restaurant, Tarahumara and then headed off to Park City to enjoy the beautiful weather. We lucked out because the guys taking the tickets didn't really take our tickets. We offered - I promise. But, they weren't that busy and they let us keep riding. We got in three rides for the price of one - and one ride is $18 for the driver and a passenger is $6. It is a little pricey, but a lot of fun. Three times was enough for me! I was getting a slight headache from all the jerking around.

We finished off the night by driving back home through American Fork Canyon in the dark. It was quite the adventure!

Lake Mary

Last Sunday, after church, we went on a hike again. I love being up in the mountains. They are so beautiful!

As you can tell, Will and Ben weren't super excited to go on the hike. Once they get to the destination, they are always glad they went.

Lake Mary

My reward was seeing these two moose at Dog Lake. We were careful not to get too close, and I forgot my telephoto lens. Mark's parents even came with us. We had a great Sunday evening and made it down just as the sun was setting.

No More Monkeys

This is what happens when you jump on the bed. Mark was getting Max ready for bed last night and Max fell right into his headboard.

I wasn't home, and Will left me a message on my cell phone that Max had split his head open. I thought at first that he was playing a joke on me. I tried to call home and Mark's cell, but no one answered. Finally Mark did, and he confirmed that Max had in fact split his head open. I met them at the ER. It was horrible to look at. Split so wide open with blood gushing out. I didn't do so well with the whole thing. But, once he was finally stitched up, I was alright.

They had to papoose him and drug him with a mist in his nose. He was very loopy. It was funny, but sad at the same time. His speech was slurred and hard to understand.

When we got home around midnight, we came home to a mess. There was blood all over Max's bedding and his bathroom. So, Max slept with us. We NEVER do that and I didn't sleep well at all. Luckily my mom came and picked up Will and Ben at the ER and they slept at her house. Steve dropped them off this morning and I checked them into school late. We were able to sleep in, which was nice.

Today, Max still wants to jump on his bed.

First Day of School

Monday marked the first day of school for Will and Ben. Will was so excited to start 3rd grade. His teachers are Mrs. Anthony and Mrs. White. They are team teaching and have for years. They rotate every three weeks. Ben was so excited to start 2nd grade. His teacher this year is Mrs. White. She was Will's teacher last year, and I absolutely love her. Initially Ben had another teacher, and I requested a change. We didn't find out that he made it until last Friday.

At our school, they invite everyone to come and meet the teacher the first day of school. The boys asked Mark to come, which was nice to have him tag along. They provide donuts and drinks in the cafeteria for everyone that morning. I think that was the deciding factor for Mark. Who can pass up a chocolate donut? Not many.

It was a little lonely on Monday and has been this entire week. I can't believe how fast they are growing up. It makes me sad. I miss them when they are in school. I miss having them around. Okay, I really miss sleeping in!

Thanks for all of the nice comments on my last sad post. It has been very emotional. I am doing better although a bit emotional still. Everyone has been extremely nice and thoughtful. Mark sent me flowers today, my sweet neighbor brought me daisys, another neighbor made me delicious muffins, and I even got a new handkerchief with a thoughtful poem. I am so lucky to have such great friends! I now know what it is like. I feel for women that have many. It is not something I want to go through again. Hopefully I won't have to.

Nevermind :(

I always tell people early on when I am pregnant. This time was no different. Except for the fact that I'm not pregnant anymore. I started spotting this morning, so I got in to the doctor and had an ultrasound and some blood work done. I'm supposed to call back in the morning to make sure my levels are dropping. I am bummed. I've never had this happen before. Now I know what it is like, and it isn't any fun.

We'll try again!!!

Check it Out

Check out what I added to my sidebar. We are all so excited for April 15th. Cross your fingers for a little girl, this is our last try!

Slacker

I feel like I've been slacking a bit lately. I'm just trying to fit some fun things in for my kids during the day, before they head back to school on MONDAY. Yes, I am a bit sad for them to go back. I kind of like having them around. I also love sleeping in until 8:30 or 9:00! It is wonderful!!!

I've also become an addict. It seems like many people are becoming addicted to...

It is so much fun to find old friends, and new blogging friends. I love IMing people while they are online. If you're not one of my "friends" yet, please look for me! Isn't it all about how many "friends" you can have?

So, last night I decided to show my support for Will and Mark by attending one of Will's many practices. I couldn't believe how many parents/fans were there, in their lawn chairs, watching/rooting their kids. I had no idea!


I was laughing my butt off watching Mark tackle the boys. He takes it so seriously. Maybe I don't because I've never played the game or really ever watched a game. We have U season tickets. Come on, the only reason why I go is to run into people I know or to people watch.

This dog scared Ben and Max. You see the red box, well there is a bunny in that box. They both walked up to the fence to check out the bunny and this dog jumped out of his dogloo, which was right next to the bunny cage. They both came running back over to me as fast as their little feet could carry them.

Ben loves to tease Max. I think because there is finally someone smaller than Ben that he can pick on. He is constantly bugging Max. I was done and we decided to leave.

Upon entering our car, I immediately smelled this rotten, horrible and gag reflex inducing smell. I checked Max's shoes, nothing. Ben checked his shoes, nothing. I checked mine...
Yuck! I guess that is what I get for having such a bad attitude about football. No more eating out during the week, which is saving us money. But, I have to have dinner ready and they are out the door by 5:40. Tonight they didn't get home until 8:30. I have fun while they are gone. I do. I usually drag all of the neighbor kids around the neighborhood on their bikes for a little exercise. I love it!
