 Jay had to work in Blanding and Monticello back in the end of June, so me and the kids decided to go with him, but then the next day me and the kids would drive to Farmington, New Mexico to go visit Danielle and her family since it was only 2 more hours. The kids and I stayed there for 10 days while Jay worked away. It was nice though because over the weekend Jay came and stayed with us in New Mexico so we had some family time in there as well. It's always fun visiting my sis and her cute cute girls and of course Corey since he won't ever come to Utah!! (hint hint) We did a whole lot of relaxing and lugging lots and lots of children wherever we went! We swam, went to Big Bounce, did the splash pad, hot tubbed, parks, made lots of yummy yummy food and desserts, played some poker, and had some good company! Thanks to Corey's aunt and uncle who let all of us stay at their casa for almost 2 whole weeks! They will never know how much we truly appreciated it!

 After the 10 day stay in New Mexico, we decided to go see Jay and wait out the 2 days with him while he finished up work in Blanding. Well, it ended up being 4 days, well leaving on day 4 at the hotel with just the kids and I while Jay would work work work, swim with us for an hour then go to bed since he didn't get back until 9:30 and had to wake at 5. He put in lots of hours, but at least he knew he could come back to us the last 3 night he worked. And it actually wasn't too bad. We did lots and lots of swimming at the hotel pool. Also while we were away, a fire broke out in Herriman which caused us to be evacuated which we weren't there to be evacuated. But we didn't know if we were coming home to a house or not and what the damage would be. Ended up being okay, the fire was directly across the street from us in our neighbors back yard which caused them a whole lot of damage. We just had smoke to smell for days and lots and lots of ashes everywhere outside. We are SO very thankful that we still have our home and so do all our neighbors. It was way to close for comfort and there was nothing we could do since we were gone. It was pretty crazy coming home to see the mountain in front of our house which is just a few yards away black and burned. All the vinyl fences along those houses were burned. Pretty crazy to see.
