Arizona So Far...A kinda long borning post, Sorry

Well we made it safe and sound to Arizona. I drove from our house to Memphis then Sol took over from there and got us to Oklahoma City for the night. The big girls did just fine in the car. We left at 4:30 so they slept for a couple hours but once they woke up Sol wanted to drive because Emma was throwing up and having major runny poop blow outs and that aint exactly his cup of tea. Once we got to Oklahoma City I had Sol go find a walmart or something similar so that we could get Emma some kids pepto or something to help her poor tummy. He came back with Immodium and gave it to her well at least her poop stopped but still throwing up anytime she ate or drank anything!

We pulled into Sols moms house in Snowflake, AZ on Sunday evening and it was just soooo wonderful to finally get out of the car, relax all that. Sol heads out to Pinetop with his dad on Monday for the day for some much needed Father Son Time while I relax with the kids and help Tana and Lacy with whatever needed to be done at the house. That night I decided I wanted to do some permanet makeup on my eyes for some good eyeliner. So we did that and my gosh it hurt soooo bad but now I have the start to some great eyeliner that I dont have to do everyday! I woke up Tuesday morning with my eyes swollen shut. So as soon as I get my eyes down enough to open them I look outside and it had snowed! Not a whole lot just a light dusting. That is where it gets fun.

We all were going to go down to the Valley for Christmas Eve but we quickly realized that if we were going to do it we had to leave within the next 2 hours or the roads were soon to be impossible to get thru. So we hurried and rushed thru a fake Christmas Morning (including singing Happy Birthday to Jesus-very wierd, I know, it was Sols dads doing) and throw everything in suitcases and get back in the car for a 3 hour drive to the Valley. I was still trying to get everything washed from all the puking and pooping that happened on the way out here. There were cars pulling over and getting chains on (the snow was up to the bottom of the road signs)but nope not us, we have AWD on my car so we were just fine. Made it to the valley in about 2 hours thanks to my amazing fast driving from Payson to Mesa! :)

Christmas was good although I am glad to just have it overwith already. We had Christmas Eve dinner with my mom and family. Then Christmas Morning with Sols family then Christmas Dinner with my family. Now all we have to do is get my sister married off on New Years Eve and we are done for the year! HOORAY! I am ready for a recoup day today and am soo ready to bring in 2009! 2008 was such a hard year in so many ways I really dont think I am going to miss it. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
