Hello Blogger Friends - I am heading out for our next adventure. See you in a while with our pictures from across the US. My sister and I are traveling together. I am so excited. Miami - HERE WE COME!!
I am sad that I didn't get to see everyone here that I wanted, luckily out adventure isn't too long. Only 12 weeks.
UPDATE on Lauren, it will take her several months to fully recover and will always have a scar, but her follow up visits are done and we've been given the OK to head out. Hence this message. :)
If any of you can recommend anywhere to eat along our way, PLEASE send me a note. I'll check this before we leave.

Lagoon Day
Daddy's princess on her pony.
Gingerbread House
The kids put this together in Bear Lake for the Jenkins Annual Snowmobile trip. Our poor kids...when we unloaded the car of our suitcases Lauren asked,"Do we live HERE now?"
Where's the fire?
Jon's dad tried to change the fire alarm but with it linked to the security system the fire department was automatically contacted. So after five minutes of obnoxiously loud alarms going off the truck showed up. Oops
Date with Daddy!
Jon took Lauren to Hollywood Connection for some one on one time together. It was a hit. :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HANDSOME
September 17th 1978
2/27/08 Lately L. has been insisting that I call her Cinderella. Sometimes I can hear her upstairs call for CINDERELLA. in a mean "step sister" tone, then in a sweet voice will answer, "I'm coming." She failed to pick up her toys when I asked, so I tried her new name and it worked wonders.
2/29/08 So L. is watching her old favorite and after Dory explains to Marlon that memory loss runs in her family, Lauren says, "It runs in my family too, Dory."
Anna two months
Lunch on the "patio"
Lauren has a new fascination with cokewatches. What's a cokewatch you ask? It's Lauren's word for Cockroach! :)

The Trike
L is lounging while watching our tennis match...this is the trike that ate me.
Story came to play
These three happy girls just finished spinning in Daddy's chair. What kid doesn't LOVE that? When Story's mom came to pick her up she gave me the door prize she'd won. It was a full hour massage at a spa in town. It was HEAVENLY! Thanks Brooke.
L"s Nursery Teacher and friend Lesley
Sunday doesn't come fast enough for L. to go with her teacher to Nursery. She will scout her out in S.M. and wave to her the rest of the meeting. She loves her.
Who's Here?

Oh hurray!! I can't wait to see lots of pictures. Watch out for any of those storms that get a persons name!
Wow, you are a trooper...are you really driving??? That's insanity my friend! Good luck in Miami!
Insanity for sure if the girls were coming but they're not. Thanks to Grandma Jane they are flying out when we get there with her discount. :)
Anna is still nursing, of course, so that should add some challenge, but I am looking forward to it. I've never DRIVEN past Missouri. :)
Good luck and have a fun adventure!
Drive safely!
This is a great adventure! I'm just glad it's not permanent! I'm so glad you get to see the country.
Yay! I am so excited for your trip, really. Take it easy - we usually did around 8 hours a day :) A couple must-stop-dinings: Make SURE you hit a real, authentic TEXAN BBQ!! We ate at a place called "Cartwrights" - the people are SO friendly, and the food is Y-U-M-M-Y!!! And, you'll find it hard to pass up a WAFFLE HOUSE once you hit Florida. They ARE on every corner (and I kid you not. They are more prominent than LDS churches in Provo!)
You will LOVE the friendliness of the people in the South! But, the friendliness sorta peeters out as you head down the panhandle :( Be prepared to use your SPANISH!! You will think you're back in Guad sometimes :P :)
Don't stay on the I-10 the whole time in Texas. You probably won't, as you're coming from Utah. But if you head through Austin, Texas, you will have a MUCH more scenic route, and it's even a little faster, even? I think. But yeah. We LOVED driving through Austin. Even seriously considered living there in the future ;)
So, I hope you get this before your trip! I would LOVE to go with you, actually. It was a good time.
Your girls are so cute! I am glad that Lauren is ok. By the way I am so jealous of you Miami seem like a great place to be as we head into winter. I can't believe you drove (or are still driving!). There's got to be some great stops along the way. Good luck, and you better watch the weather (the storms are mostly over right!?!)
