M.I.A.

Thats what I've been.. missing in action. 
It's been a busy week and a half. 
This is what I did a lot of while in Kansas:
I also drove people around. A lot. 
And ran out of gas once. 
(sorry Tim)
I missed my babies like crazy as evidenced by all the texts Trevor and I exchanged. 
Some were pretty funny.
I took the time yesterday to type them all out cause I want to remember them all!
7 pages worth of texts. 
Let me share one:
Trevor: Any shuttle yet?
Sarah: On it now just about to leave. How are the kids? miss me yet?
Trevor: Haven't come out yet., but I'm sure they do. I already do. Love you! Don't sit by any weirdo's.
Sarah: Got it and I didn't. I miss you too already~ I'll call you when I get to slc.
Trevor: Sounds good. Enjoy a little book time.
Sarah: I have had an unnatural craving for triscuits lately~ I bought fire roasted tomato ones today and they are delicious~ I'm bored.
Trevor: They sound delish... especially to a guy on a low carb diet. should help with the digestive tract though. you should fart in the van. that would entertain you.
One more:
Sarah: Bad news~ us airways pilots to strike at midnight Sunday~ all flights expected to be canceled~ what do I do?
Trevor: You better be April fooling me. If not, we'll start driving tonight...
Sarah: how long will it take for  you to get here?
Trevor: Ill MapQuest it and let you know
Sarah: btw~ April fools.. hahaha. I know you know.
Trevor: that was a good one. I must admit you had me a little worried.
Sarah: yeah, yeah.. you were just hoping to get out of painting... love you baby.
Last one:
Trevor: Max just asked my mom is she has a wiener.
Sarah: That's hilarious! What did your mom say?
Trevor: Just "no".
Sarah: Did anyone besides you laugh?
Trevor: everyone except my  mom.
Thats all. 
The rest are for my eyes only.....
My first plane ride was uneventful.
 But when the plane landed in Salt Lake City 
I had 5 of my most favorite people in the whole world waiting for me
with flowers, chocolate and a homemade welcome sign.



I was very grateful to be there with Amy's family.
They have a lot of healing to do but everyday is better than the last. 
I love every single one of those Birds and cannot wait to see them all healthy and happy come August!
Trevor did a great job taking care of our kids.
And I'm so grateful the other Idaho Falls Haslems were willing to help out. 
And thank you Jenna for combing out my girls hair, gently. 
Daddy just doesn't understand curly long hair!

And now, maybe, I may get back into blogging....maybe. 
It's spring break and we are kind of busy around here...
movies to watch, cookies to bake, crepes, library, grocery shopping..
lots and lots to do!

You guys are hilarious. I've been meaning to call you and see how your sister and her family are doing. Glad they are slowly healing. And I have a question: did you fart in the van?

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
