Busy busy busy!!!

Whew, we've had a busy weekend. Seth decided to buy a truck since he's been begging and begging for one and we've finally been able to afford it. So, he's at the DMV getting the temp tags and stuff for it and when he's backing out he runs into some girls car. She was speeding through the parking lot and wanted the spot by him and didn't look to see that he was backing out. He hadn't even gone 3 feet. And now the family is trying to blame it on him. The girl was 17 and had only had her license for a couple months. LOL.

Then we took my car in to get the transmission fixed. Finally. So now I have no way of getting around cuz Seth won't let me drive the truck because "it's too big and it's touchy."

That night, (Friday) we took Rupert out to the lake so that he could play in the water. Porter loved it. Rupert was chasing birds all around and playing in the water. Porter sat in the water and splashed around. He found rocks and was throwing them in and just having so much fun. He got really mad when we had to go home.

Saturday Seth had a work fishing trip up at Payson Lakes. We left nice and early, but we still didn't get there until about 9:30 am. We find a good spot to chill and Porter decided to play in the water. So we let him splash around. Then he starts screaming and wouldn't stop. We didn't even have a chance to put our poles in the water before we left. So we drove the rest of the way around the Nebo loop and by the time we got to Nephi it was noon and Porter finally fell asleep. When we got home Porter ran through the sprinklers for the first time. So cute!! We bought Rupert a swimming pool from Walmart since it was soooo incredibly hot. Then we had a bbq up in Sandy with the company that helped up with our loan. I called my cousin Rachel cuz they wanted to hang out. I gave her and Lee directions to the park and assumed that they could get there cuz Lee's from Sandy. Well, I get this call saying that they were up Big Cottonwood canyon and they couldn't find the park. So I laughed a bit and gave them directions again. Rachel called and said that Lee was getting really frustrated that he couldn't find it so they were just gonna go home. I laughed and wondered how someone could get confused with North and South Sandy and the canyon... And he said he was good with directions... LOL. So we left and went to Seth's parent's house in Lehi and stayed for a while.

Yesterday was just a blah day. We decided to get a bookcase for the living room so that Porter's books weren't everywhere. That went well... Porter destroyed everything. So we had to wait until he was asleep to finish putting it together and putting stuff on it. It looks really good now.

I was able to see Vanessa for a few minutes on Saturday before the bbq. She was at my grandparents house- up the street- and needed some Claritin cuz the Benadryl allergy medicine was making her sleepy. She looked like crap. She wasn't able to go anywhere or talk to anybody except the family. She said that she would be home until Monday, so I called her this morning and turns out that Pamela decided that she had to go home early. But she will be home tomorrow and Wednesday, so maybe I'll have a chance to see her then and actually be able to talk to her.

So that's what's been going on. I'm frantically trying to get everything ready for Rachel's bridal shower on Saturday and it doesn't help that she never answers her phone. Hopefully I can get in touch with her by Friday so that we can decide what food she wants and games etc.
