Lagoon 2008

WOW! What a day! I am so tired from yesterday's fun filled adventure. Good thing this isn't a weekly adventure or I just might die of the excitement.
First off, we tie dyed matching shirts the night before we went. Two years ago when we went we had orange tie dyed shirts, this year I chose "Bahama Blue". Each time we have done this people have gawked and thought it was the coolest idea. I think I stole it. Hehehe, not sure who from, so I can't claim the idea. But I think I take the prize for doing it the night before.
Since I haven't seemed to master the blogger picture inserting, I am hoping to insert a slide show at the end.

When we went on so many rides it was awesome. The weather was very accommodating to say the least! Some of the day it was over cast! WOHOO! The lines were great. Only the Log Flume Rattle Snake Rapids were rather long.

My kids seem to me more like me than Scott. They like the spinning and twirly rides. Poor Scott didn't go on very many rides. He was a REALLY good sport though. I think my favorite was the Space Scramble with the younger kids. Katie and Bryan went with me and they are so small it was hard to keep them upright. We went on that one twice. After the first time, Katie squealed "Let's do that one again". I was in shock, she loved it! The second time Journey and Katie went with me. You should have heard Katie scream with delight! She raised her hands and all. I wish I could have recorder her.

Dejah, is the perfect height to enjoy the most rides. She is right where she can still go on the little rides and all the big ones too. Her favorite was the WILD MOUSE. I think her next favorite was the BAT. She is a speedster. Oh she also went on JET STAR 2. I decided that one was NOT for me. Scott took her on that one. When they got off she had a huge smile on her face. Scott said "that one is intense". LOL! Overall, it was a perfect day. Everyone enjoyed the rides and Lagoona Beach.
Oh, one last thing, Scott has REALLY wanted to go on the SKY COASTER. He wanted to, two years ago. I didn't. This year he still wanted to go, I didn't. Guess what? I went! I was so scared and so worried I would wet my pants or worse. For some reason I wasn't worried about throwing up. LOL! This is a ride that they pull you up 150ft and release you and you go swinging down at about 60-70 MPH. The free falling had me so freaked out I didn't want to go!
Anyway, he got his way. I went with him. I closed my eyes when we went into the free fall until we went back up again. At that point I could stand to open my eyes. I enjoyed the swinging part we did....NOT the 150 foot free fall! I'm NOT sure I would do it again or not. I'm too chicken to see the Earth coming up on me. The swinging part was GREAT! Scott wants to do it again in the daylight. We went at 9:45pm. Good thing we only go every 2yrs or so. I have to save up my nerves to do it again.

I have had horrible luck posting Photobucket slideshows on Blogger recently. I learned that you can post them straight from Photobucket and they work great!

Facial cellulitis

Leave it to me to get the weird things! This is the second time in a mont that I have been "blessed" with this strange ailment! The last day of antibiotics (shot) last time was March 18th. I had started with Augmentin and that didn't work. They gave me a good shot of rochepin (a peanut butter shot) and that seemed to make a big difference quickly. I went back and got another, after the second I noticed remarkable improvement. I was SO excited! Then on Monday it started foming back. So it lasted two weeks. The next week we just did Rocephin shots. OUCH! I went round and round with the insurance company about an IV versus shots. The doctor recommended the IV because it would be less pain. I opted for the shot when I realized that the ER visit for 5 days would be about $400-500 a day. OUCH. So I got 5 rocephin shots that week. It was so much better by that Friday (18). YEAH! Fast forward to this past week. I was having similar pain and wrote it off as a sin...

Teacher Appreciation

Originally I had planned on do a different door completely! I was going to copy a door I found on a website Sugardoodle.net had posted on Facebook. I even got Home Depot to donate the things I needed. Last week I thought I should do a Hawaiian theme since this teacher went to school there and met his wife at BYU Hawaii and he will use "Mahalo" (thank you in Hawaiian) in class. I put it off, I had everything. Well, this morning I decided to change it to the Hawaiian theme. I had it all worked out in my head. I knew what I wanted. It didn't turn out the way I wanted exactly but I think it worked well. Mahalo Nui Loa, Thank you very much. I told LeMira, the parent council president that I was not very creative. She bawks at that idea now. I may have gotten myself in trouble. LeMira, made the pail and shovel and the banner. Journey made the sand castle. Lots of encouragement and it was done and hung. Not bad for a "last minute" idea.

Brazil

Just over three weeks ago, I recieved a phone call as I was getting out of the car to pick up pizza. It was a interesting conversation.... Scott: Uh, Hon, they want me to go to Brazil. Me: REALLY!!!??? WOW! Scott: ya, the catch is it is for TWO WEEKS. Me: I WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scott: you don't even have a passport. Scott served his mission in Sao Paulo South and came home 21yrs ago! He has forgotten a lot of his Portuguese. His company wants him to go set up a firm down there with their products. Scott is a no brainer chioce...been there done that type thing. I have asked him many times he wanted to go back. He was never very excited about it. When the phone call came and his voice was exuberant, I KNEW he HAD to go. Two weeks alone with the kids or not, he NEEDED to go. I thought I would solve the no passport issue fast and said "you can be there for work, then I'll meet up with you!". Sounded perfect! It would take me two weeks minimum to get my pa...
