Eventful Day

Yesterday I flew from Salt Lake to Sacramento via layover in Las Vegas. What an event it was. I thought that I would be writing that it was eventful because I was traveling with two kids and one of them acted up, but that was not the case. The kids were amazing on the plane rides. Marcus even slept one leg of the flight. When we stopped in Vegas we didnt have to get off the plane, but we did have to wait for more people to board to go to Sacramento. We boarded and actually pushed off early from the gate. We backed up and then started to taxi. Mid taxi we heard a loud boom and then the flight attendants seemed a little paniky. I looked to the back of the plane since we were in the front and the cabin was starting to fill with smoke. The pressure hurt my ears and even had the kids complaining. The flight attndant announced that there was smoke on the plane and that they would be going back to the gate. They got back to the gate in about 30 seconds. Two captains that were taking a ride as passengers went running to the back of the plane with fire extinguishers. They told us to grab our bags and de-board in an orderly manner. They kept saying....'please dont panic, please dont hurt anyone on your way out, there is no need to panic'. When we got off of the plane, we watched out the airport windows as 3 fire engines pulled up to the plane and unloaded its firefighters. Marcus was quite amused watching the caos.

It ended up taking them about an hour and a half to unload us, find a new plane and get us re loaded to go to Sacramento. They explained that we were finally headed to Sacramento and that we would all be rewarded with free drinks. Yah for me...haha. I was surrounded by a bunch of drunks by the time we actually arrived. All in all, I am just glad that my children and I arrived safely to see my family for the week.

Happy Flying!!

Of coarse...

If you know Marcus, this doesn't come to much of a surprise. Last night we spent a wee 15 min. at the Insta Care because Marcus dislocated his elbow. Luckily, there was no one else even there. We were in Salt Lake when I decided that I needed to take him to the doctor, so I went to the local Insta Care. I didnt have my medicaid card for him, so the nurse came out and looked at him. She was telling us that we might want to just take him over to primary childrens hospital so we didnt have to pay Cash to get it done. Right when she said that the doctor came out and said, let me look at it. He just popped it right back into place while we were sitting in the waiting room. He said..'okay, your done'. And that was that. I dont even think we were ther 15 min. It was more like 5 or 10 min. It was awesome.

Oh, and the story of how it happened...
I was holding Marcus' hand and he decided he didnt want to go the way that I was going, so he turned and lifted his feet at the same time. I lifted him up to get him into the car and I felt something pop. So, now I guess we should be a little more careful with his arms now.

Flashback Friday

I am running out of pictures of me or Eric from when we were younger. I have a lot of pics that I can scan, but just haven't done it yet. This is a picture of my mom when she was a young girl. I can see lots of resemblance from my siblings in this picture. Isnt she cute?

Love

I am home tonight thinking about love and how much I love the members of my family. Isn't it crazy that you can love so many people to the extent that you fill like there isn't any more room for your love to grow and then it does?!?! This is always something that has boggled my mind.

Emma Singing

This is a video of Emma singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

Emma Singing

Emma's new favorite thing to do is sing songs and then watch herself once I download them to the computer. Wednesday night she recorded 4 songs. So, I will put them up over the next 2 weeks when I have nothing to blog about.

This one is Sally the Camel.

Cupcakes

I was making cupcakes today and while I was making them I had to keep Marcus busy, so I turned on the water and let him at it to play. When I was done making the cupcakes, I had some extra batter in the bowl and put it by the sink, not in the sink because I didn't want him to get into. Well, he climbed on the counter and pulled it into the sink and made a huge mess. Oh well. It was kind of funny. The Rainbow cupcakes are for a neighborhood block birthday party.

Love, Tamber

A laugh that would make anyone happy...

One of my favorite things to do to Marcus is kiss him under his neck. He laughs so hard. It is hilarious. He loves to be tickled by kisses. He even eggs it on sometimes.

Flashback Friday

I don't know what we were doing in this picture. I think it was probably the idea of the guys in the back. They were some guys that I swam with in high school. We must have thought that we were cool or something. I think this was Senior Year Winter Ball, but I cant remember for sure. Anyways, that was an interesting date. On a side note...I wish I could have those arms back....haha.

Marcus Climbing Again

Marcus looks innocent right?..well, the smile is cute, but let me scan back even more...



Yeah, okay, not so bad here either. He loves to sit by the window and watch the people outside. Let me scan back more and show you his favorite place to sit....



Yeah, this is what happens when I leave even one kitchen chair down. He climbs up onto the ledge by the window and sits and stands up there. He was suppose to be eating dinner (you can see all of the spaghetti that he threw onto the floor), and I came out of my room and this is what I found. I cant catch a break from this kid. He is going to give me a heart attack one day.

Love, Tamber
