We're On A Road Trip

We left Nauvoo at 10:48am on Wednesday headed west. After much prayer, I decided to leave Asher and Cullen at home so that we could spend some quality time with the older boys. It was so hard. But, we left them with our good friend, Jamie Steen, and she's awesome! She used ot be our backyard neighbor and is my visiting teacher now! Anyway, she has them during the day and Debbie(Jeremy's mom) has them at night! As we traveled across the country, I was so thankful that I did decide to leave them home! This pic above is Tristan, Cedric, and Liam all playing their PSP's and Leapster. I must note that Liam is the best traveler EVER. HE hasn't asked us once "are we there yet?" HE doesn't whine. He is excited about everything. He is just down with the whole traveling thing. On the other hand, CEdric is the WORST traveler ever. He has been ever since he was born. HE whines constantly. Every 10 minutes he wants to know how much longer we have. He's thrown up. He gets a nervous stomach. Now he has sworn off eating because when he had thrown up, he had just eaten lunch, so he thinks that is why he threw up! UGH! We'll see how long he goes without eating.

This was taken yesterday in Wyoming.

Driving through the smaller mountains. We arrived in Salt Lake Thursday at 5:15pm! Forgot to take the best pic....of us driving into the valley, Doh!

We took the kids to the Mayan last night. We had to wait for 45 minutes for our table. The kids, mainly Cedric again, we're annoying and complained the whole time while we waited. Cedric and Tristan thought it was too creepy and we're a bit afraid I think. Until.....we were seated right in front of the cliff divers! Cedric turned to me and said " I can't believe I was scared!" They loved it. Tristan and Cedric are pretty sure they want to move here! I feel the same way. It's amazing how much Salt Lake has changed since we lived here. Anyway, we let them run around the Mayan and watch the divers and partially eat the food we paid too much for. Cedric was true to his word and didn't eat. HE just now woke up so we'll see if he eats breakfast.

So, we are having a lot of fun! My only complaint is my boobs!! Sorry for the men who read my blog, you may want to skip the next paragraph. I tried before I left home to leave some frozen breast milk for Cullen. So, I ate crazy amounts of oatmeal & peanut butter cookies, oatmeal, mother's milk tea, and so forth to increase my milk supply. Well it didn't work and I could only leave about 8 ounces with poor baby Cullen. I am very concerned that he won't eat from me when we get home. Anyway, now my cup overfloweth!! My little factory has increased productivity by 300%! No exaggeration. I literally could feed triplets. But, I will endure so the baby can eat when I get home. So many women these days do not breastfeed and I just don't get it. Wouldn't you do anything for your child? Including giving them the best possible food? Even if it can be uncomfortable, painful, or whatever. Which is usually isn't. hmmmm....I will step off my soap box now.

Today we are spending time in SLC and tomorrow we will leave for L.A. and go to Disneyland! I will try to blog again in two days! We miss Cullen and Asher!!!!!!
