So, we made it here in one piece. The kids were SO good all the way here. They slept to the airport in SLC and then were awake until we landed in Denver and then fell asleep in Denver b/c we had a 2 hr layover and they slept all the way to Atlanta where we woke them up to get off the plane at 530 am local time (2 hrs ahead of UT time). Then they stayed awake until several hrs later. We got here and went to baggage claim and didn't have any baggage. As I was filing a claim with the guy he got a phone call from Frontier saying our luggage had showed up with them an hr ago. I knew something like that would happen! I'm just glad we have our underwear!!
After we got here we came to Jamie and Robbie's house (such a cute house by the way) and were here for a bit. Then we went and grabbed some lunch and went to the flea market. Wow - it's amazing the crap people think they can sell and the crap people will buy!! We didn't find anything too fabulous but a guy did give Samantha a purple barbie car for free. Oh goodie. I also bought some name things that say each of our names, where the name comes from and what the name means. They're pretty neat and I think they'll look really good in the front entry with all the family pictures. Nash fell asleep in the stroller (so glad we brought it with us) while we were at the flea market and slept for about an hour. When we got back to Jamie & Robbie's house Trav, Me, Clayton, Jamie & Nash all fell asleep while Samantha watched Cinderella and Robbie went to work for a bit. Later Jamie & I went to Target. I bought me some flip flops and the kids water shoes and a few other things.
Tomorrow we're going to St. Augustine. We're going to hit the gator farm and the light house/fort and then hit an IMAX theater. When we get back to Jacksonville, we're going to go to the greyhound dog races. I think the kids will get a kick out of those!
Anyway, we're having a good time and the weather ROCKS. There is none of the white stuff in sight (although it is kinda naked without the mountains)!! The weather is just right - we're in shorts and no jackets but it isn't blistering hot and there's virtually no humidity to factor in. The kids actually insisted we put sunscreen on them this morning after we changed into fresh clothes and were sitting out in the lani. It was kinda funny to hear Samantha be so insistent that she needed to have sunscreen on because she was getting burned.

Revised date
Ok - so after I posted the thing about my pampered chef party, I realized that was Easter weekend. So, I've moved my pampered chef party to the 28th @ 6:30 pm. I'm also doing a Scentsy Candle party (I traded parties to get more jewelry parties) on March 15th at 4:00 pm. If you'd like to see a catalog let me know. If you can come - PLEASE DO! I'm always excited to have people over. I tell Travis I'm making up for all the years we lived in a tiny apartment!!

It's a Boy!
We had our ultrasound today and the technician says it's another brother. Samantha is a bit bummed but I think she'll get over it pretty quick. They say my due date is still right - July 24th - so I guess we'll wait and see! Here are a couple pictures. Samantha still wants to name the baby Sparklie - sister or not!

Doing a pampered chef show!
Hi! So, I know I sent an email out to some of you about two weeks ago telling you that I'm doing a pampered chef show (I traded parties with a girl in my ward). Anyway, my show will be Friday, March 21st and we'll start at 6:30 pm - my place (I'm mailing invites too). I'm doing a cooking show so my pampered chef consultant will be making one or two different things (so come at least a little hungry!) and will let those here use the tools so they can see how they like them. She's offering me a challenge to get at least $200 in outside orders before my show to get a stoneware bar pan for free. If you want to order something (whether you can come or not - but I'd really like to see you here) let me know. Her website is: http://www.pamperedchef.biz/amyskaug?page=home
The kids are doing better already (we LOVE Tamiflu). We get to have our ultrasound tomorrow to find out if it's "a brother or a sister." The kids are really excited to go to that. After our ultrasound we're having Samantha's friend birthday party at the bowling alley (7 kids under the age of 6 - am I crazy?). That should be interesting! And then we get to come home and start packing for our Florida trip! We can't wait to get out of the snow!!
Hope you're having a great week!

The dreaded influenza
Hello family & friends!
I sure hope your winter is going better than how ours seems to be going! I thought we'd be done with illness after Nash's go round in January. It would seem not. Travis came home from work on Thursday after being gone for only an hour and climbed into bed - which is where he stayed until about Friday afternoon when I told him to go shower! I forced him to go to instacare on Friday afternoon and they decided that he had influenza (apparently, there's an incredible outbreak). Well, last night (Sat.) the kids both had fevers by 8 pm! Grrr!! So, now I'm in the process of trying to get instacare to give me tamiflu for both kids (without having to go in there & pay the $60 to see a dr. and another $100 to get 2 more doses of tamiflu just to be told what I already know!) since that's what they gave Travis and he was doing better by last night. What complicates it further? I rescheduled Samantha's friend birthday party (she was supposed to have on it Sat.) for Wed. AND we're supposed to be leaving for our week long trip to Florida on Friday!! Let's hope instacare comes through!!!
Have a better week than we have!
Update: InstaCare finally called me about about 4:30 pm (figures since all the pharmacies close at 6 on Sundays) and said they would not give either one of the kids a perscription for Tamiflu without seeing them (and testing them) first. So, we made it to InstaCare by 5 pm and were lucky enough to get out of there by 6:30 pm. Hey - that's a short wait compared to what I have had before! Anyway, they both tested negative for strep and Nash tested positive for Influenza A. The poor kid had Influenza B last year and he even got his shot last season too! So, since we were lucky enough to see the same dr. that saw Travis on Friday, all 3 of them are now being treated for Influenza with Tamiflu. Yea. Let's just hope that I stay germ free! I did make Travis take a bottle of lysol to everything in the house while I was gone & I stripped all bedding, pillows, towels, etc. and washed them all in hot/hot water. I told Travis, "Spare only the toothbrushes." We'll be buying new ones later this week!
