I. Need. Blue. Skies. And. Sun.

Its a little scary seeing all the massive amounts of rain pouring down on this area of the map. I mean aren't we usually in high fire hazzard mode about this time? Wheres the happy medium? I was looking back at some of my journaling and I did a lot of walking and playing outside back in March 2010. In the last month I think we've only been outside to play maybe 4 times total.

Yesterday was amazing. Sadly we had to go to a funeral, but I'm so thankful that the weather was so beautiful for an amazing women and her family. I didn't know Kim Asay personally, I've met her a few times because my husband Evan knew her and her family. It was a very nice service, I enjoyed it very much. They held it in their big barn at home and it was filled to the brim. We got there about 15 minutes early and ended up being in the very back and stood the entire time. They did make some more seating available and even though I'm pregnant and we had our two girls I felt like we needed to let closer friends of the family and maybe the more elderly people standing get a chance to sit. Our girls did awesome. From start to finish, including the burial, it lasted 2 1/2 hours. They did not complain, squirm, or make a peep,(and thats asking a lot of a 3 year old and 20 month old) it gave us the opportunity to really listen to the stories and enjoy the memories of the family.

After, we came home and relaxed a little before getting into more comfortable clothes. Since the weather was holding up and it got up to almost 70 we decided to go on a family walk. It was WONDERFUL. We walked all around the property and through the fields (I'll post some pics when I find my camera cord). Its been so muddy and icky and we are trying our best to grow grass but its just in little fine patches everywhere, so the girls having had a really good place to run and play out here. When we got out to the green grassy field the girls went crazy. They ran and rolled and picked dandelions. It was sooo cute! We were having a hard time getting them to keep moving along because they were having so much fun. Then we went in with the horses in their field and the girls petted and loved on all of them. Then we went down toward the river bottom where there is tons of sage brush and cactus. After we showed Takara the cactus and told her not to touch she started getting a little nervous because it was EVERYWHERE. Eventually she wanted to be carried. We got out and back up to another field and again they were loving it. Now we were on the opposite side of the fence where the horses were and they would dip their heads over to get more loves from the girls.

When we got home we made a bonfire and had Evans family come over. It was a great end to an awesome day. When we got inside I was bushed. I look and feel like I'm carrying triplets and my body feels like it does when I'm in the last weeks of a pregnancy. It really worries me but I think it has something to do with the extra baggage I started out with this time around. And I'm STILL sick! Some days I feel better and then the next its back. Just when I feel like I'm over the sickness it hits me hard the next day. Sundays are the worst because we have to be ready to go by 9 am and so by time I get up and moving and get myself and the girls ready my body wants to shut down, or I start puking. I have an appointment this week so hopefully they can help me figure something out.
