Escape to Logan

We punched Salt Lake City in the face last Friday and ran away to Logan...well, just for the weekend anyway. The Walkers kindly took us in, fed us fabulous meals and let us stay a night. Addie enjoyed it so much she thought she'd sleep through the night for the first time. I'd mention that she's been sleeping through the night every night since then, but I don't want to jinx it. We played away the day with the likes of the Walkers, Matt and Abbey, Zach, Tim, and the lovely Liz (whom we met briefly before we had to mope our way back to SLC). We watched Mad Monster Party, a movie made by the same folks that made the "animagic" Rudolph and Frosty movies (look at Zach's blog for more info). It was pretty enjoyable and had some good yet subtle jokes in it...unfortunately we don't know how it ends due to the condition our library DVD was in. On Saturday the ladies went shopping while our counterparts went to blow up a dryer. I would normally jump at the opportunity to watch something explode, but I must have somehow known that they would forget the catalyst for the tannerite. The lack of catalystic powers resulted in an uneventful trip and an intact dryer. We, (meaning the girls), however, had a great time shopping! We all had lunch at the Indian Oven (quite tasty by the way) where the owner told us we didn't have to pay if we didn't like the food. We paid though...in fact, we paid more than we meant to. Jason miscalculated the tip and gave a pretty big one on accident and, for those of you that know Jason's terminal thrifty condition, it's been bothering him ever since. Don't worry, he'll be fine. We then went to Paradise (yep, Paradise is right here in Utah) to pick some pumpkins in a patch (I tried to make it sound like a tongue-twister for reader-enjoyment). It was already picked through, but that turned out to be a good thing for J and I because we still had a hard time selecting one from the ten they had. It may not be a well-known fact that J and I are incredibly indecisive people...how we decided to get married I'll never know. After spending some time watching UFC at Tim/Zach's place, we had to tearfully say goodbye and ...I just took a...really?! I was just about to write that I just took a break from writing this to go change Addie's clothes and my pants since she just peed on my leg (thanks diaper, for doing your job) when, after dressing her in new clothes, she puked all down the front of herself...and now she just pooped. Atleast that didn't leak, knock on wood. Let me just quickly finish what I was saying before I end this to go change her again: we said goodbye and then made a highly-secretive stop in the darkness outside Schreiber's Foods to make a cheese transaction with Tork. Mmmm-mmm cheese! In conclusion we had a great weekend and we were greatly upset by having to come home. One last thing: I have come to terms with my new shade of haircolor by calling it "caramel" instead of "not-blonde-anymore-due-to-pregnancy-hormones-and-now-I'm-having-identity-issues-because-I've-always-been-a-blonde light brown". Goodbye Bloggers, hello dirty diaper.

Have I ever told you how much I enjoy reading your posts. They crack me up every time, so witty! Well I'm sure glad you guys had a good time. It's nice to get away. Hey maybe I'll take Annie on a trip, it seems to have worked for you. :)

I LOVE blog and how you're such a creative writer Andrea. It helps me keep up with the three of you. Did you know that my hair went at least two shades darker after every one of my babies. Guess if I'd wanted to stay a natural blonde I shouldn't have had so many kids--but then, how fun would that be?

Just so you know, the word verification for me to leave this comment was "lextei". Is that somebody's job to come up with those words? I think Jason would be really good at that.
Thanks for coming up to Logan! I always utterly enjoy Utley company to the utmost.
