What day is it!?!

What a blur the last week or so has been! We have driven over 1,000 miles and been all over the state. Since Jer is not going to have any time off in the next few months we decided to take some kid free time and enjoy a little vacation for ourselves. First we had to get to the valley... with a twist. Our Tahoe was full of kids. We drove Quinn, Parker and Abbey home and along with Bode they filled up the whole car. It reminded us that yes we want 4 kids but definitely spaced out a bit, and that any more than 4 kids we would have to get a bigger car and I don't want to drive a huge "burb" aka suburban.

Then we had fun for Bode's birthday. We went with Jill and John and their kids to see "Horton Hears a Who". It was Bode's first movie and I was worried about how he would do especially becasue he had a huge temper tantrum just a few minuets before the movie over a hot corn dog. Lets just say he was hungry and the corn dog was too hot and it made him very, very, mad. But he did so good. He just sat and watched it. He never gets soda normally but we bought a root beer and he loved it and sat through the movie with is between his legs sippn on the straw.

We droped Bode off at Rena's on Monday and we were off on our little vacation to Tucson. We shopped all day and when we got to our hotel we encountered the first of many problems. They had our reservation but it was for the 24 of March instead of the 17. Oops we scheduled for the wrong days! But that got all worked out. But we got to thinking about all our other reservations and called the baseball stadium and yep... our tickets were for the next week. But luckily there was a different game we could go to. So instead of watching the Diamondbacks we saw the Padres and White Sox's play.

Then we called Kartchner Caversn and yes you guessed it or reservations were for the next week. It is really hard to get tickets so we ended up having to get up really early got the park and wait to see if we could get walk in tickets instead. They only give out 100 of them per day. The office opens at 7:30 so we got there at about 7:00 and there were already 22 cars in front of us! Luckely we got tickets!! FYI it is really neat. We really enjoyed it and it was worth all the hassle.

In between our Kartchner Caverns tour we were able to go to St. David to see my brother and his family. It worked out well because we got to Megan's little birthday party. It was really good becasue we don't see every one as much as we would like to so it was great that we got to be there for here little party. Although we did realize that we saw each one of my sibling this week.

We had a bit of time to kill and Tombstone is right out of St. David so we drove down there. It was kind cool to see the OK corral. But that is just a one time thing for us for sure.

We got to eat at a few yummy places. We went to Pinnacle Peaks a big cowboy steak house and it was great. And we found my new favorite fast food called La Salsa. Only down side is that they are only in Tucson, bummer.

All in all we had a fun time being with each other but we both ready to get back to out little Bode!

Thank you Rena for taking care of the little guy!!
