It has been such a long time since I posted I thought I would try to remember what has happened in the last month. Rafe took some vacation time to go elk hunting 10 days to be exact. I thought the 10 days would last forever and I would look forward to the day he went back to work but, for probably the first time I really enjoyed him being home for such a long time. (that sounds really bad. I really do love my husband but it's hard to have them home so much ya know?) Anyway, So it was by birthday right before he left to go on the mountain so him and the girls went shopping. Adison has been saying for months that she wants to get mom a diamond ring. So I told her to tell dad and they would have to go shopping. So off they go...It was pretty funny that I knew exactly what was going on. Rafe asks me how am I suppose to take her shopping the a diamond ring? Obviously we don't have money to just go buy a diamond. So, I say just take her out and let her pick out something she is three how does she know what a diamond ring really is right? So, they go ALL over Vernal looking for a ring. After several hours of looking they end up at K-Mart. I got a beautiful ring with a matching necklace. She did so good and she is sure proud of her accomplishments. There is one problem. The ring is too small so I have to take it back and exchange it. Hopefully they will have another one.
A couple days later Rafe and his brother go on the mountain and I stay home with the girls to party a little. Alison (my sis in law) had a "white trash" party. It was loads of fun. It's crazy how easy it was to turn our normal stuff into white trash. We hung up a blue tarp for shade, ate hot dogs with mac n cheese (which is a normal thing to do at our house) drank "beer" and all dressed up. The next day we ended up having a sleep over at my mom and dads house; which is always fun. I had been sick for almost 3 weeks and couldn't get into the doctor until the next week so I ended up going to the urgent care on friday night to find out I had a sinus infection. I was very glad for the antibiotics! Saturday we got ready and headed up the mountain. The whole drive up Adison just kept saying "I bet daddy shot an elk." Man was she disapointed when daddy hadn't shot an elk yet. We had lots of fun on the mountain. Morgan went home on Saturday night so it was just our little family. It was much needed time away just to spend together. Rafe is still trying to get an elk they are watching a pretty nice heard just waiting to get a good shot.
After coming home from camping Rafe was a big help around the house which I am super greatful for. He really helped me a lot. On Thursday night we were able to go out on a date which has not happened in a really long time. We went and saw the movie The Time Travelers Wife. I really enjoyed it but, I am a baul baby! I cry over everything. Then on Saturday we were able to do some yard work and then go golfing in the afternoon with some friends. We did aweful but had lots of fun. I have some pics that I will post sometime of our golf trip. I also took some way cute pictures of Kenna that I will get posted. Adison does not like to smile for the camera so I didn't get many good ones of her.
Rafe went back to work yesterday, it was a long day waiting for dad to get home. As soon as he did we were off to the in-laws for dinner and Monday Night Football. The dreadful season has started. The only good thing is I have to cook less dinner because his mom likes him to come eat with her and the kids just play and I get to read my book.
But, the most exciting thing is yesterday Rafe found a dog on KSL classified and we are headed out to Park City on Thursday to pick him up. We haven't told Adison yet we are going to suprise her; it'll be awesome! She wants a new dog so bad. His name is Dan for now I am not sure if we will change it or not. After we get hime I will post some pics of him too. We are way excited!
Well thanks for taking the time to read my novel of what has been happening in the life of the Dudleys. Sorry it is so long.
OH! I almost forgot. Kenna can almost stand by herself and she got two new teeth. YAY!
