Sadly, this is the only picture I took at the concert!!!
So, I think I say this EVERY time we move, which seems to be alot! At this point, we have moved 7 times in 9 years of marriage. Is that crazy to anyone else??? And alot of those places we stayed at for a few years which means we've had a few fast ones too! I think I was in slight denial about it. Seriously, the week before we had Foster cousins (the Peck's) come and visit for a few days, then about 2 days later we had all of my sister's family and another cousin's family (the Phillip's) come to play for the weekend. We had so much fun!!!! I kinda can't believe I didn't take any pictures of any of the families. Lame-o!!!! Lots of fun!!! They all left and the next day, we starting moving. It was nuts. I hadn't really packed and seriously, local moves are the worst! You think it's no big deal, but then you take a MILLION trips!!!! We moved the whole week, each night after work. We were so tired! We both get up really early, but we had to stay up late each night packing, cleaning, taking trips back and forth. We finished Friday. We had friends moving into our old house, so we needed to make sure everything was ready for them by the morning. We moved until 10, then I took kids home to bed. Nick stayed and did last minute things, then cleaned all the floors/carpets. I felt so guilty leaving him so I stayed up at the new house and got SO MUCH unpacked! We finally went to bed around 1:30. We had to help our friends that morning at 8, so pretty much we were pooped. Then to top it all off, we had tickets to a Jason Aldean concert in SLC. These were bought way before we knew we were moving. I thought about just passing, but Nick really wanted to go. So, my sister was here shopping so she took the kids back to Caliente and Nick and I left at noon-ish. It was nice to relax in the truck, but we were SOOO tired! We stopped at Cabela's super quick and didn't even have time to grab dinner before the concert. Concert was AWESOME!! Much more rock-ish and city country, but still good. Chris Young and Thompson Square opened. Well, we got out of the parking lot around 11:15 and decided we were kinda awake and didn't have a room yet, so we started driving back. We had to stop and chill here and there, but made it back home around 7. We took a quick nap, went to church, then back home to unpack and decorate before we had to get kids that evening. Reminded of two things: 1. Holy cow you can get SO MUCH MORE DONE WITHOUT KIDS!!! and 2. We aren't the young bucks we used to be!!!! No more all-nighters!!!! :)
This was our first year actually trick-or-treating. Before last year, they were too young to care. Last year, we had so many parties and the trunk-or-treat that they were over it by the time it was Halloween night. I was pretty excited to take them out and have realized that I am more competitive than I previously thought! They were getting done and I kept dragging them on and rushing to houses--no diddle-daddling for me! At one point, I even carried Reag's shoes so she would stop complaining. I know, barefoot....gross!!!!! I had planned to do our neighborhood then go to the richies down the street, but their pumpkins were way loaded and they were tired after ours so we decided to call it quits. And earlier in the day, we had to deal with this.......
Nick had the day off and was working on his dirt bike all day trying to get it started. His cousin was coming up and wanted to go for a short ride before trick-or-treating. Well, to make a long story short, they decided to pull start his bike with the car and a rope. They have done it before so no big deal. And of course it's okay that he was in shorts and flip flops with no helmet, because he was just in front of the house, duh! (insert sarcastic wife comments here) Needless to say, I'm on my way home and get a call that starts with "Chels, don't freak out. Nick's ok, just hurt his leg a little". Thanks for the heads up Loke!! She was sweet to call so I didn't walk in and see the craziness. Nick was tore up! Andrew and his Bro-in-law were trying to get all the gravel and dirt out. We debated taking him to the hospital because we honestly didn't think the hole (yes I said HOLE in his leg--where the peg went in) could be stitched. It was really jagged and most of the skin gone and way deep. He said it felt numb, so we decided we better take him in! 15 stitches later, a cool new "W" on his leg and a tetnis shot and we were out the door ready to trick-or-treat. Crazily, Nick walked around the whole neighborhood with us all night. He didn't want to let us down. I was WAY impressed. His entire right arm and leg was hamburger and still no time off work or anything. He's pretty tough!
