The ride down to Kodiak
















We made it to Kodiak in one piece. We left Wasilla around noon. We got to Homer at about 8pm. We had lots of stops on the way. The dogs and the kids needed to get out to stretch a lot! Jermy and I also needed to make stops of our own too. Costco, Jeremy had to stop at work to pick stuff up and I had a couple of stops for Scentsy. Anyway, the 6 hour drive turned into a 8 hour drive. When we finally got to the ferry office they had our info wrong so the kids and I waited in the car while Jeremy sorted everything out. 45 min. later we are in line to get on the ferry. The kids were so excited! They have been waiting so long to get on the big boat! So we board the ferry and get in our little tiny room. We all go for a walk around the ferry to check it out. By now it is about 10:30pm. My kids usually go to bed at 7pm. So this was super late! We finally get the kids settled down and ready for bed. No one got very much sleep that night. No matter what time Carson goes to bed he is up around 6am. That morning was no exception. We ate breakfast on the ferry and waited to get in to Kodiak. The ferry ride was about 13 hours. We got to the Kodiak house at about noon! 24 hour trip!! No wait 24 hour trip with 3 kid under the age of 5. It was exhausting, but also fun. Carson and Clayton were pretty good for the trip. Jackson was not bad either, he is just a baby who likes to scream in the car for most of the ride down to Homer. Here are some pictures of our trip.

I was just thinking about how old Jackson is. Then I realized he is now the same age Carson was when Clayton was born!! Oh my goodness, Carson was just a baby when Clayton came along. Since I was thinking about that it got me thinking about my life then. 4 1/2 years ago.... That was the hardest time in my life thus far. I was having a rough time dealing with a "toddler" (really just an older baby) and a new baby. We lived in a 2 bedroom apartment. So we shared our room with baby Clayton. Which was not ideal. Since he was in there I could not sleep. I just knew if I slept then Clayton would stop breathing. I know I was crazy, I got over that with Jackson. Since I didn't sleep it really got on my nerves that Jeremy slept so soundly. That man would not wake up for nothing during that time. Needless to say I was very tired all the time. Oh ya, I also weighed more than I ever had before. And very upset by that. That was just one more thing to make me feel bad. So, I was fat, I...

Sisters Or Sister In Laws?

Image
I worked at Allen & Peterson a couple of weeks ago on a Wednesday night for their pre -grand opening. My brother in law is now managing that store and he asked me and others in the family to help out that night. Of course his wife, my sister in law, Jenn was there helping too. A bunch of other people who worked there normally (I don't know any ones names) could not believe we were not sisters. She told them, "nope, just sister in laws." I don't think they believed her. Actually , everywhere we go people think we are sisters. I think people in the ward we live in still think we are sisters. So, what do you think? Do we really look that much alike that we really could pass as sisters? We don't think so, although I would clam her as my real life sister any day .

Who peed in the shoe box?

Last Sunday Clayton came up the stairs with no pants on and he was saying, "I just got a little pee on my pants." So I asked him why was there pee on his pants. And he says, "Well, I had to pee in a little box." What little box? I asked him. I go down stairs with him and he pulls out a wet shoe box out of a cabinet . At least he put his pee away. I told him not to pee in boxes anymore and to please walk up the stairs to the bathroom. I love my boys, but boys are gross!
