Cabo was a no-go.

So I should have arrived home today after 5 days with my hubby, kids and in laws in sunny Cabo San Lucas, but that is simply not how things went down. Christmas Day I spent in a lot of pain because and abcess in my mouth got infected. The infection even got so bad it made the tooth which hapened to be a veneer weak and it fell out. (PS it was my very front right tooth and yes I have pictures) so after more pain and a night of throwing up and fever and chills we decided to cancel Cabo so i could stay home and get the dental and medical treatment I needed. Eric and I spent Thursday and Friday morning at the dentist, me squirming in the chair and Eric watching my pain. Now after a screw in my gums, a lot of drilling and digging, about 10 shots and some gum shaving and ect, I have a temporary fix to my pain and problem, but no tan from being in Mexico. It was a bummer to have to stay home for a dumb tooth but after it got worse over the week and my whole mouth and face started swelling it was clear we made the right call. Eric howveer did not tell his employees we stayed home from Mexico so they wouldnt bug him and he still stayed home with us. I hav4e 2 more dentist appointments until everything will be finsihed and back to normal, I think he is afraid I am a flight risk since he hurt me so had so he perscribed me a sedative to take for the next appointment, I cant wait until my mouth looks and feels normal again. We hope all our friends and family had a Merry Christmas and a great 2007. We will psot our pics from Christmas morning soon. Love you all!

Happy Birthday Baby Part 3

This past Saturday we went with all my (Hailey's) family and ate at the new Cheesecake Factory to celebrate Eric's birthday. The food was as always well worth the wait and Eric got some fun new clothes from my family as well as the Brookstone's fogless shower mirror that he has been dreaming of. He cant wait to shave in the shower. It was a lot of fun and the kids of course ate tons of bread and cheesecake. Thanks for the lunch Dad and Mom!

The Polar Express

This past Saturday we did the super festive "Polar Express" on the Heber Creeper Railroad. We bought our tickets a couple moths back since I know the weekends sell out quickly even though they have 2 rides per night. We did the late ride at 7:30 pm cuz that is all that was not sold out back in October. Me, Eric and Ady (Max stayed with a sitter, since we heard its not fun for babies) met up with Ady's Uncles Steve, Uncle Weston and Aunt Cat and cousins, Easton, Isaiah and Avery at the train station in Heber, the vintage style train cars were all decorated and lit up for Christmas. We got on the train and got seats together. it was so fun for the kids cuz they get to dress in their pajamas and robes just like in the real Polar Express. And we went on the ride, hot cocoa and cookies were served and we sang songs and the elves told jokes and then when we go to the "North Pole" (Ogden station) Santa came on the train, he went around and individually talked to all the kids, and gave them all a Christmas bell. Ady loved it being with her cousins and seeing Santa, and watching out the window of the train. It was great for her. Then on the way back to heber the kids got to see Mrs. Claus come around and talk to them. It really was a lot of fun. Ady loved it!
