On my way Home....

On my way home on Wednesday I was setting at a red light flipping through the radio stations look for something good to listen. When I wasn't paying attention because I was at red light. Then I hear a police siren. Curious, I looked up to see who was in trouble. I looked in my rear-view mirror and there was the police car. My heart dropped. My first thought was what did I do. I had just been setting there. Maybe I was speeding before I stopped. I looked for a place to pull off. But I didn't know where I was going to pull off because I was stuck in rush hour traffic. I looked up again to see if the cop was getting anxious for me to pull over. I noticed that his lights weren't on. That was weird. So I looked again and noticed that not only were his lights not on but he was talking on a cellphone. I figured that he didn't want me to pull over. Or maybe he did so I would move out of his way.

When the light turned green I kept watching to see if he was going to turn on his lights. He rode my bumper for several block but did not turn on his lights. As we approached the next light it turned yellow so I went through. I figured it would give him a reason to pull me over or "hopefully" get him off my bumper. My stomach felt better when I looked back and saw that he stopped at the light.

I will never know why he turned his siren on. I am grateful I didn't get pulled over.

Side Note: Megan did turn in her picture form. Yeah!! But she forgot to turn in her homework.

School Pictures

Megan is getting her school pictures done today. And I'm a nervous wreck. She looked cute when I dropped her off at school this morning. I just hope she stays that way. I'm so nervous that she will forget it's picture day and mess up her hair or her dress. Or that she will forget to give her teacher her picture order form. She forgots to turn in her homework, so I'm really nervous she will forgot the order form.

I am appalled that school pictures are so expensive. Delevoping pictures isn't that expensive so I don't know why they have to charge so much. I was only going to buy the class picture but I decided that I wanted Megan's picture. So I bought the cheapest package they had. I figured that we can scan the pictures and email them to anyone who wants one can I can post them on my blog.

I really would like pictures of my girls to give to everyone. I guess will have to take them to Sears or beg Ryan to take some. I don't know why getting pictures done is so stressful!!

Sickness Strikes Again

Our family is sick again. It started on our way home from Idaho. Megan was sick. She was so sick that she didn't go to school all last week. Saturday she started to feel better. Ryan complained of a stomachache but that only lasted a day. Lindsey was sick for about 2 days and now it is my turn. I went to work on Tuesday but only worked for about 2 hours. This is one of the worst flus that we have ever had. It makes your stomach feel like it is in knots. You can't eat anything because nothing will stay down. It is just not fun. I've lost track of how many bottles of gatorade and sprite we have gone through in the last 2 weeks. I don't like gatorade that much...but is the only thing that will stay down. I've learned the best way to drink it is mixed half and half with sprite.

I know that several people in Ryan's family also were sick!! I hope they all get feeling better soon. Someday there will be a world free of sickness....That day can't come soon enough!!

Trip to Idaho- Visiting Grandpa Anderson

On Sunday of our trip we went to Kuna to visit Grandpa Anderson. Grandpa is living with Ryan's Aunt and Uncle. It was the first time we had been to their new house. Grandpa had a few close calls recently and we were afraid he might not be around much longer. He looked a lot better than Ryan or I expected. He is just a cute old man. Ryan enjoyed talking to Grandpa about his favorite subject, Fishing. Ryan even learned a couple of things we are going to try on our next fishing trip.

It took the girls a while to warm up to him. Lindsey was very grumpy that day and didn't want anything to do with anyone. But after some time Megan was showing Grandpa all the toys she was playing with. Lindsey then copied Megan and also started showing toys to Grandpa. They were very cute with Grandpa and he was a good sport in taking all their toys. Megan had to show Grandpa that she could do a somersault so he called Megan his "Rollie Pollie".

Before it got dark everyone, except me, Lindsey and Uncle Eddie, went berry picking along the river. They seemed to have a good time. Lindsey was so grumpy that I didn't want to take her and it was really cold and I was afriad of her getting sick. After berry picking everyone came back for ice cream and we got ready to leave.

On our way back to Mom's house we stops at Dad's house to visit for a little bit and tell him bye. Again it was a really late night and we got back to Mom's about 2am.

Trip to Idaho- Pizza Party

Friday night we went to Idaho. We didn't leave Springville until 7:30pm so it was 12:30am before we got to Ryan Mom's house. The girls were really good until the last 1 1/2 hours. Finally the last half an hour Ryan turned on some music and that put the girls to sleep. We wish that we would have thought of it earlier.

Saturday afternoon we went to Emily's (Ryan's sister) new house for a pizza party. It was so fun. All of Ryan's family was there. It was great. And we took some pictures with the whole family. The girls had a blast with there cousin, Seleny. Seleny is Emily's daughter.
Each family bought a pizza and a side dish. Ryan and I brought a Green River watermelon. Like all Hathaway parties we has so much food that we were well feed for the whole weekend. We enjoyed visiting with everyone as much as the food. It was the first time we have seen the 2 newly wed couples since their weddings. Ryan's sister Angie as married in July and his sister Andrea eloped to Tahoe in August. Now all of Ryan's siblings are married except for his younger brother.

Ryan had a great idea to take some pennies to the nearby train tracks and smash pennies. So we collected everyones pennies and put them on the tracks. I think out of 30 or so pennies we get about 20 that were smashed. So there at least 1 for everyone.

After a long night we got back to Mom's house about 1:30am.

Trip to Idaho

We went to Idaho for Labor Day weekend. One of our main reasons for going was to visit Ryan's Grandpa. Grandpa Anderson is Ryans last living Grandparent. He hasn't been doing well so we decided we better take a trip to see him.

We were able to get this picture of the 4 generations. Lindsey was a pain when we tried to take pictures this weekend. But we did get a couple of good ones.

The trip was fun until last night on our way home. Megan complained all day that

her tummy hurt. Right before we left she throw up. She said she was feeling better. She was sick the whole way home. She finally slept for a couple of hours, which made the trip better for her and us. I had to keep her home from school today. She hasn't even meet her new teacher yet.
