Family Pictures continued...

So, we went out to go get our family pictures taken last weekend. We left here on Thursday afternoon and drove straight through and got to my mom's house about 12:30 am. We made pretty good time even though Daryl was driving. Because I don't have much feeling in my feet, it's hard for me to drive the van. I don't have any problem in our car, but there was no chance we were going to stuff ourselves in my small car to go to Utah. The kids would kill each other before we'd even leave the driveway. So, I had to relent and let Daryl drive. (since Daryl has been driving the van full time, I think it has stripped him of his manhood because he gets heckled at work). I had to remind him at times to speed up so he was going the speed limit. I had to help him drive. (even if it was from the front passenger seat , I was very helpful). We showed up and Petey (my mom's dog) was very excited to see us. He even helped us unpack and made us sandwiches. Just kidding, he didn't help us unpack at all. On Friday, Allison came over and brought her kids and we hung out for awhile, then it was time to find me a top, because nobody was going to let me go naked. We finally found something, but I was not very happy with it, and I think the sales lady was glad to see us go. Daryl went waterskiing and got a great big bruise on his butt. I was sure he was going to get hurt and have a cast somewhere on his body for the pictures, but he didn't, so that was a bonus. We played rock band at Allison's house for a few hours. I'm so awesome! I can get the singing part 100% of the time on "easy" and I can do base about 74% of the time on "easy" and I can go all the way up to "medium" on the drums. I can never get the guitar, becuase Wesley physically can't let go of it. We bought a Magleby's cake and we had to buy a backup because, in our family, if you are going to go get food somewhere and you ask everybody,"do you want something?" they always say "no," but then, when you get home, they eat everything you bring home. So ALWAYS buy a backup. Also in our family, plates are optional. As long as you have an implement to dig out the food and put it in your mouth, it's good. Cakes, never have a clean cut on them (mostly just fork marks, like a back-hoe was digging at it) and certainly watermelons get the center dug out first.
We finally got to Sunday night for the big picture, and we thought it would be a great idea to re-create our picture from forever ago. It was funny, because Ronnie had to sit on my mom's lap. Hopefully I'll be able to get the pictures soon and post them. We got home last night and life started up again today. It was nice to get away, and I hope we can go back soon.
