Girls Night

My aunt Kathy has a cabin in bear lake and we have had a couple weekends planned to go up just all the girls, well both times something came up and it didn't work out. So we decided this weekend to have a sleepover at my aunt Kathy's house. We started off with dinner yummy!!!!

And so much junk food, what would a girls night out be without a bunch of junk food:) We had a little baby shower for Karly. She got tons of darling clothes.

My grandma made this huge bowl of Carmel corn. It was Deeeelish:)

Mckell & my hot grandma Marge. My grandma & aunt Kathy read and gave us a few sheets of genealogy. It's so neat to here such stories of my ancestors.

So i had to take a picture of this picture everyone thought that the little Blondie(my uncle) looked just like Jace & i have to agree.

Okay so the other cutie in this picture would be my cousin Kimmy. He was four years old when he died.

Okay long story but i want this written down so i can remember this. I have heard short versions of this story many times but a few of us sat in one of my aunts spare bedrooms, one that she has a lot of his belongings in a treasure chest in. She told us the entire story, as we all cried our eyes out. Kathy was a beautician and worked at a beauty shop, she couldn't find a babysitter it was a Saturday so her neighbor across the street said she could watch him for the day. Well Kathy had just closed the shop and was walking home when a man she new came out of a grocery store and said "did you hear what happened to Gayle Larkins wife" my aunt said "no" meanwhile thinking oh my word this is the lady who has my son. The man said she was killed, she got hit. Well my aunt was thinking like out in front of her house or something. Well the man said let me drive you to where it happened, then he started driving in the opposite direction of her home. She said "where are we going" he said" to the accident " my aunt then knew something terrible had happened. The man drove her down the road in Kaysville just below the overpass, and she could see the traffic was stopped and there was a train that was stopped. Well the traffic was so bad they couldn't get any closer, Kathy got out of the car and started running & running faster and than all the sudden she said something stopped her (she knew it was the lord) and she started running back towards the car she had just arrived in.

She got in the car and they drove back closer to home to there Mayors house, this is where she does not remember a lot of what happened. She does not even remember how she got there, she said when she came to there were tons of people around. I guess what had happened was Arda who was tending Kim was taking a shovel down the road to her husband who was plowing a field, and when she was heading back home she saw the train coming and they think it startled her and she stalled the car on the tracks, the train hit the car and catapulted them 152 feet well Kim was in the front seat and was ejected out of the car onto the tracks, Arda was killed instantly and the baby she was carrying died, she was almost 8 and a half months pregnant, Tamra her 15 month old daughter in the backseat died. Arda was only 24 years old. Gayle saw the train stop as he was plowing the field and drove the tractor as fast as he could to the scene of the accident, when he got there he saw Kim on the tracks, Kim was alive at this time so he ran to the car and saw that his wife & unborn child were dead he then looked in the backseat and flipped his daughters carseat over, she was upside down. She was dead also. The train driver could not get out of his train, policy i guess. But he said to Gayle i am so sorry i couldn't stop the train. The conductor said it was like it happened in slow motion, he said he couldn't take his eyes off the little boy in the front seat the entire time until he hit the car.
After he left the scene Gayle went to where Kathy was, he said Kim was not dead Kathy said
"what" and my grandma said no Gayle he is dead. Gayle thought kim was still alive because the last he saw the paramedics were still working on him. Kim died about 15 minutes later in the ambulance.

About a year and a half after the accident my aunt married Gayle and he was my uncle. They had 4 beautiful daughters, my cousins. Gayle got bone cancer and died when i was 10.

This was the car they were driving in.

This was Arda, Tamra the 15 month old & kimmy
This was kim. Is he not the cutest little boy.

The other day megan had these glasses on as we were heading out the door to school, i told her to go take them off and put them in her room.

Well i thought she did, well when she got home from school i saw her pull them out of her book bag. I said Megan you can take toys to school, well she replied " mom I'm blind at school if i don't have them". ( they don't even have lenses) oh Megan you make me laugh.

He left little green footprints all over the house.

The girls thought it was funny that his footprints were on the stool.lol.
YuMmY green pancakes

Tayler & Megan

Tayler and Megan are loving school. A leprechaun visited there classroom while they were at recess and messed up the classroom, tayler got a big kick out of that. Megan sadly missed out on half the fun today, i got a phone call from the school nurse today saying that she had Megan and that she was looking pale and that her heart was hurting her. When i got there poor Megan was as white as a ghost, i brought her home and made her lay down, she is doing fine know. Her sweet teacher even called her tonight to see how she was, she told me she was worried about her today. She said today was different from the other times Megan has said her heart hurts. We go back to the heart dr, in 2 weeks so i guess well see whats new.

Tayler drew this cute picture of the statue of liberty, she said she learned about her last week.

We made yummy Rainbow cupcakes topped with butter cream frosting and chocolate coins.

We took a plate over to Kari's house and she feed us .............................

These cute green subs. Thanks kari:)

March 16, 2010

Today was such a nice day.

After me and Jace took the girls to school we decided to hang outside for awhile, did a little riding shooting some hoops
Drinking mommy's Diet coke

Tayler got off the bus today with one flip flop on, i asked her where it was and she said she it fell off while she was getting off but couldn't find it. She didn't want the bus driver to drive away if she stopped to look for it so she just left it.lol.

I did some work in the garden today. Oh i can't wait for these beauties to bloom.

Dear Teacher

Tayler drew a picture for her teacher, which she does quite often. But this one topped them all i think.

She was sick Friday and could not go to school, and this picture tells a story :)

It says " I have not seen you in a long time because i have been sick".

It is a picture of her in her bed and a garbage can next to her bed with throw up in it.lol.

Disney on ice

Dustin got me and the girls tickets to Disney on ice Friday night. We left early and headed to salt lake to get dinner, we chose subway mmmmmm! Then we headed over to the Energy Solutions Arena to get in line, they opened the door @ 6:30. While in line we ran into our cute neighbor. Meet a few Princess's
Found our seats

I think the cars were my favorite, at this point i was wishing i had brought Jace. Maybe next time. I got sick during the second half of the show and had to talk the girls into leaving 5 minutes early cause i thought i was going to throw up. I love hanging out with my girls, mommy daughter dates are the best.
