update on the previous posts

curtis made it threw lessons without getting kicked out. he didn't pass to the next level though. which doesn't really surprise me. but the last day he did go down the slide on the teachers lap and then thanked her for it. but he insists he will never do it again. thats ok at least he tried once.

this week makes 24 weeks pregnant... that makes 3rd trimester right?? i cant remember but anyway its getting closer!!! she is moving a lot, although today not so much yet.. theres only one name that feels like it might stick so far. we don't know how long it will sound right to us. we both came up with macy. curtis will tell people now that hes getting a baby sister, or that he will have two little sisters. he always wants to feel the baby. he likes it, ari not so much. she wants nothing to do with a new baby of her own. at least not yet.

last week, me and the kids took a trip to arco. its a little tiny town out by craters of the moon. (its a little bigger than picaboo) anyway, my bro and his family live there. i decided it was a good time and good idea to take a short trip before this baby comes and makes traveling harder. we headed up friday morning once curtis was done with the last swim lesson. it took 3 1/2 to get there. not so bad. we stopped in boise for a toilet break and then in carey; only an hour left of the trip. after we got there and got lunch, we all went to idaho falls cause john (my bro) had a meeting and davian (his wife) was still at work so i had 4 kids to watch at the park where he dropped us for an hour. i'm not used to watching 4 kids so it was a little bit of a challenge. plus when i'm at the park with my kids, they don't usually get an hour to play. but it was all ok. the trip to idaho falls was another hour drive... the next day up there was atomic days, its a huge deal over there. they have a huge parade and fair and stuff. its pretty cool. just before the parade started, an airplane flew over the parade route and dropped a whole bunch of ping pong balls. each worth 50 cents if you took them to the sheriffs office. i caught one, a few minutes later a kid walked by and gave me two more and at the end of the parade one of the police cars in it gave us two more. plus lots of candy from all the floats. it was pretty great! i took my camera to get pictures of our little weekend over there but didn't manage to remember to pull it out. maybe if i go back again in a couple weeks like the kids want then i will take a few pics..
