Ian's Birthday and Trip #2 to Hawaii this year!

Well two days after Paige's birthday it is Ian's....... And this year we were supposed to go to Hawaii on the 10th but since we go standby we left on the 9th because it had open seats. Ian's Birthday was spent in the airport waiting for our delayed flight to Hawaii..... Which ended up being 13 hrs late and went from a non-stop to stopping in LAX. The original plane had a mechanical and they ended up using two smaller air crafts to take all of the passengers to LAX and then using a larger aircraft to go from LAX to HNL! So once we got to LAX everyone needed new boarding passes and this left a line of 300+ people. So instead of waiting in line I just got behind the podium and helped work the flight. Lots of angry people and not supposed to be working the flight left me touchy! I was in jeans and a T-shirt, but the agents in LAX were grateful for the help. So after arriving in HNL at 6:30 am Salt Lake City time what happens my luggage didn't come. The kids came and the snorkel gear came but no swimsuits for me or Rob... It came the next day at about 3 so it wasn't too bad... So after my sagga for the outbound flight the return flight had its own sagga. We came home on the flight we wanted and it even arrived early! So whats the sagga... Paige peeded on me!!!!!! Oh my Hell she hasn't peeded the bed in over 18 months and now I get peeded on with 3 hrs left on an airplane with no clothes in my carry-on! She was so restless because it was a red eye flight so I told her to sit on my lap, well about 10 min later I felt something warm and wet! Lucky me! I had packed a change of clothes in the carry-on for the kids just not me! So she got to change and I didn't! Good thing that every minute of in between those flights was Great!


Hawaii was HOT! In the high 80's and low 90's with lots of Humidity! Unseasonably Hot! It was so nice. We did the usual Hawaii trip... A North Shore visit for Turtles, Surfers, and Shaved Ice. A swap meet run for Souvenirs. The Beach and Pool everyday. Lots of doing nothing. And this time a trip to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a Hawaiian Luau and dancing. We even went to Waikiki to shop and people watch.


We had a Birthday Party for Ian once everyone arrived since this trip consisted of 27 people!
My Grandma and Grandpa, an Aunt and Uncle, My Mom and Dad and Alex, Jori's four, Janna's family minus Natalie because she was still too sick to fly, My five, Ashley's three, and Three Bakery employees! Whoa what a BIG group. We even got asked while we did family pictures on the beach what organization we were from... Hope the Professional Pictures turn out.


Well here are some pictures..... We had a Blast! Rob even went Scuba diving and Golfing!

Ten Years Ago Today......

I started working for Delta Air Lines!!! And in that Ten Years I have gotten Married, bought a House, had Three Children. Worked on the Gates and Ticket Counter, had one year on the Ramp throwing Bags... Literally... If you don't want it broken don't check it!!! Had a year off due to being Furloughed (When we went to war in Iraq in 2003). And after all of the economic cutbacks I'm lucky to still have a Job, even though I am 27 from the bottom. I can barely hold a Day shift. I have crappy days off and work ALL the holidays. But the best benefit of All is the Flying!!! In October we are going to Hawaii for the second time this year!! I have been all over the US and hopefully one day I will get the courage to go INTL... I don't use my benefits anywhere near what I should... And maybe I will start... I guess I better get my Kids a Passport!

I guess I Only have pitures of Ian on an Airplane!

Labor Day Weekend!

Whoa what a weekend... Rob of course was off playing Softball. This time in Hastings Nebraska for the National Tournament, and they went undefeated and took 1st place!!!!!! Well he was off playing softball we spent the weekend at the Cabin in Strawberry and did some Crawdad fishing.. Ian and Paige had a blast but Zaylee hated it because she couldn't get down and walk around. Because we were on the dock!


My fishing duo! Paige was a much better Crawdad fisher! She was patient and Ian wanted to reel in ever second! Her best was 10 on one cast! (The secret is Raw Chicken)



Zaylee was not Afraid to touch them!


Zaylee wanting to get down!


Just a few of the ones we caught!
When we counted the bucket and we had 88!!! Plus we had already thrown back two buckets full!

Ian found a water Snake! Maybe it was a good thing Rob didn't come!



The Crawdads bitting the Chicken...

Tomorrow is Paiges first day of Preschool and she is sooooooo excited. We found a dress to wear and put her hair in curlers. I'm trying to decide where she came from, she is such a GIRL!!! Also tomorrow is the first day of Soccer for her, even though she keeps telling me now that she does not want to play, I should have signed her up for dance classes instead!
