The more blogs I read, the more everyone apologizes for their negligence in not keeping their blogs updated regularly. UM...to whom are we all apologizing to? The Internet Blogging Police? Give me a bread! Oops, I mean BREAK! Did you get that? Bread was put in there for Break since I work at the Bakery.? Anywho, howz it goin'? Pretty good, and you? Not bad. Gosh its been some time since I've been here. Its fun to look at others blogs and see what they do and don't do as they update them. For me, well, late at night (like right now) when I think about getting online and updating my blog or surfing the web, I am just too tired to do anything.
Karla went to an ALL-NIGHT scrap booking crop with her sister-in-law Maria last night. So Keith (Karla's Brother) and I held down the fort for 24 hours until the real runners of the household returned. I think that there is a reason that I go to work all day and Karla stays at home with the kids. She is fantastic at what she does, and I'm good at working out of the home. All in all, somehow the kids survived in mine and Keiths care.
Last week, we took a much needed and long planned vaca to So Cal- to visit my sister Linda and her husband Dave in Simi Valley, Ca, and to have some FUN! We left on Saturday 9/22/07 and stayed the night at Karla's moms house in St. George, Utah. We also stopped and chilled with Robyn and Brian for a little bit that night too. Then on Sunday we road tripped to Simi. That was a bit of a long ride. Never stop in Bakersfield to get gas! Just drive the extra 20 miles to Victorville. Its like almost $0.50 less per gallon. Price Gougers! Monday we went to an aquarium which was really cool. We got to pet aneminities, sting rays and sharks! Slimy. The next day we went to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Ca. That was a really cool and somber experience. You could easily spend all day there learning about what a tremendous person, leader and president individual he was. He really did a lot for not only the American people, but also the world. It was cool to see the old Air Force 1 and Marine 1.
Then from Wednesday thru Friday, we spent at DISNEYLAND!
It was really a lot of fun! McKay and Karli just took it all in and loved it! Kamree was absolutely THE best baby ever! She hardly made a peep the entire week. Its amazing a baby could be so good. So, if they all are that good, we'll have like 7 or 8 more. Karla's really excited about that. We went to Disneyland in the middle of the week. Its off season right now, so we literally walked onto each ride on Wednesday and Thursday. Each sign said like wait time 5 minutes, but I think that must be a default. Just as fast as you could walk up to the actual ride, you got on, sat down, and had a terrific time! On every ride except for Indiana Jones, you have to be 40" tall to ride. Well McKay is 40 and 1/2" tall, so he got to go on everything and loved every second of it! It was so fun just to watch him and Karli absorb the magic, the wonder, the amazement and awe as they saw their tv characters come to life in the happiest place on earth!
Yes, we did get to ride on the Finding Nemo submarine ride. It wasn't really anything to write home about. We I guess it actually was since I am writing about it right now. But, I wasn't too impressed because ALL of the voice-overs were not the voice-overs from the original movie. So I was disturbed by that the whole time. Actually disappointed. It was probably only about the all mighty dollar is why, I mean the voice-overs on the ride were all from India!
Karli just dreamed about seeing Cinderella and having here pick her up and give her a big hug. Well, on Friday, we got a special pass to have pics taken with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. Karli loved that, and McKay just roared at them like a fire breathing dragon. It was a good thing we left in the middle of the day on Friday because the lines were more typical with HUGE waits and we had all just about had it. Tired, out of routine and worn out. It was so much fun, but time to go home. We started back and spent the night in St. George at Karla's moms again. On Saturday we ate lunch at SF Sourdough with Robyn and Brian in St. George. They're a lot of fun to be around. Then we headed home.
While driving home in flip-flops, shorts and sunburns, much to our surprise, we were met by SNOW in Beaver, Utah! It was just about freezing by the time we got back to Lehi. Being away for a week was really nice. Now we just need a few days to have a vaca from our vaca to unwind and get back in to our regularly scheduled programming. Oh, I also grew a goatee while away and still have it- going on 2 weeks now. I look much older and act much more mature I'm sure. Wouldn't you agree?
Well, that's the latest, on the Family side of things I guess. The bakery is going well. I've been working very hard on a lot of different projects and they will all be finished and executed here very shortly. Watch out for Great things from Granite Bakery coming soon to taste buds near you! TTFN!
