Sorry it's been so long. I've been trying to find time to put some pictures on this story but.... I never have time! So.....
In October we took a road trip to Las Vegas! It was Matt and I, my close friend Hannah and her boyfriend Adam, and our close friend Nikki. We've been friends since high school and still hang out. It was great. We left on Thursday October 1st after everyone got off of work, drove through the night and got there around 1 am. Hannah's collage friend bought a house down there so we were lucky enough to have a place to stay for free. We slept there that night and started our Vegas trip in the morning. Matt and I had never been there before so we were super excited to experience it, especially with my close friends.
Friday we stayed at a hotel on the strip. I forgot the name but was the one that looks like a big castle. We all pitched in on the room. Then went to lunch. On our way through the lobby Matt and I was stopped by a man that worked at the hotel and said " I want to hook you guys up with tickets to anything you guys want." I thought it was cool. Turns out they signed us up for a time share meeting and we had to go meet up with all the other suckers and they took us on a bus to a new hotel like ten miles from the strip. We were there for like four hours! They would not take no for an answer! It was HELL! So pretty much all of Friday was spent at that timeshare. But they gave us tickets to go see the sharks, for all five of us.
That night we got way drunk and went to a club in the next hotel. It was fun. I remember there was a moving walk way and on our way back to our room I was jumping on and off of it. It was going the other way that we were walking so I would run ahead of everyone jump over the wall and ride it back up to everyone. Then jump over the wall again to walk with my friends. I remember people looking at me like I was crazy, but I made my friends laugh. I had bruises everywhere the next day. :)
Friday we checked out of the hotel and went back to our friend's house. Friday was our exploring day. We went and saw the sharks. We went to the M&M factory. Matt, Nikki and I went to the top of the Iflar Tower (not sure how you spell it). We saw the water show outside the Bologeo (again spelling?) And we ran down the strip to catch the pirate show, but of course they canceled it. Then Nikki and I caught "THE THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER". WOW, WOW, WOW! That's all I can say about that. I have pictures too! That ended our night.
Sunday we got up and left. Made to forever drive back to Salt Lake where we dropped Hannah and Adam off and picked up our kids and our car. It was the first time we ever went any where with out them. It was so nice being home with our family!

And so on....
So yesterday I talked about Patrick's birthday. So, today I'll just move on up.
When I was released from the hospital it was a Thursday. Matt had to work on Friday so my mom decided that Zoe, Patrick, and I should spend the night at her house and she could take care of us until Matt got off of work the next day. It was awesome! I still was having a little trouble walking, (a mother's love is so deep) my mom waited on me hand and foot. She even let me sleep through the night and took care of Patrick for me. I was having a bad case of the baby blues for some reason and cried for most of the night but it was all good.
For the whole summer I came to West Valley with Matt in the morning and I stayed with my sister while Matt was at work. I love spending time with my family. It was sad when the summer ended and my nieces and nephew had to go back to school. I remember the last day we would spend together. All summer long they had kept the play pen up in my niece's room (she's ten) and that last day we had to take it down and she cried :`( . So sad.
But not to long after school had started, my sister told me the school she worked at was hiring for a sweeper. I would only have to work three hours a night and it was cake work. So she told the custodian that I wanted the job. She called me on Friday and I started the next week. So now I am in West Valley everyday again. And my sister watches the kids while at work so they are with their cousins everyday.
My job is SOOO easy! Everyday I get there when school gets out. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday I vacuum the class rooms in my halls. Take the trash that is in the hall garbage cans and sweep my halls. On Wednesday I take out the trash, sweep the halls, get all the black marks off of the tile and mop. That's it. They pay me for three hours of work, but I usually get done in an hour and a half to two hours. Love it!
I will keep going later. Next is our Vegas trip! Stay tuned!

I'm Back!
It's been so long since the last time I have written any thing I wasn't sure if I should keep on writing. But after reading all of my friend's blogs and realizing that that is the only way some of my friends and I really know what's going on in our lives. So I'M BACK!
I don't even know where to start!
OK. Patrick was born June 1, 2009 at 7:57 am. At St. Mark's Hosp. by scheduled c-section. He weighed 7lbs 10Oz's and was 20inches. It was an incredible moment in our lives! We had no idea (well, a little idea) that he was a boy. When he was born no one would tell me if he was a boy or a girl, they wanted Matt to stand up and look and have him tell me. Well, he did but the Anestaeoligest person is the one who told me he was a boy. I started to cry! They brought him to me as soon as they cut the cord and the very first thing the popped in my mind was the he looked just like his cuz (Damien). Then it hit me that he was so chunky! They cleaned him up and wrapped him and handed him to me. I held him the whole surgery. I was in HEAVEN. When they were going to move me to the other bed Matt took him from me and the nurses had an idea to trick the family into thinking we had a girl. No one knew yet and they were all waiting in the hall to hear the news. So one of the nurses when and got a pink bow and put in on his little head. The wheeled me back to labor and delivery and everyone was like "SO?!?!?" and Matt unwrapped his head so they could all see the bow. Of course everyone was excited and they all started to call him Chrisy, which was the name we were going to give our girl. Matt and I couldn't take it and started laughing. Matt had to tell them it was a joke and he was Patrick. It was great!
The surgery went good and the stay at the hospital went great.
I don't want to overwhelm everyone so I will post everyday during the week to catch up.
