Malea, Joaquin & Apollo's visit

So I never actually posted anything about my sister visiting so I will try and remember day by day what we did. Day 1- August 7th, 2012 2 am They got here super early Tuesday morning at 2 am. Apollo did really good on the drive here. She said he only got cranky once so they stopped in McDermitt so that he could run around. After Winnemucca she told me that Joaquin took some back dirt road out in the middle of nowhere, and threw away the directions that Mom had printed out for them. Turns out they were playing a joke on me the whole time and kept saying they were lost. Brats! lol I was panicking thinking they really were lost way out in the middle of nowhere by pyramid lake or something and since they were playing a trick on me they wouldn't answer their phone. So when they finally get here they tell me they really did get lost trying to find our place and they kept driving in circles. We finally went to sleep around 4 am, poor Josh had to work at 9 am. I kept telling him to go to sleep but he was obviously too excited and wanted to enjoy their company. After Josh left for work I got ready and woke everyone up so we could get our day started. Well Apollo and Joaquin are a little slow so we were out of the house by 10:30ish... Went to qdoba since breakfast didn't sound all that great. After that we went to Ross to do some shopping. I got a new jacket for winter, I figured I should probably get it because as soon as we get them in all the cute ones go first. I also got a couple shirts, there wasn't much to choose from, as I'm very picky and I don't really like shopping all that much. Of course had to get some things for Apollo and Malea got a new outfit and a couple things for Apollo too. After Ross we went to winco for a few groceries and then to get some gas. Just in time to get home and rest and for Josh to get home from his short day at work. We relaxed until Kenny came over, meeting his nephew for the first time. And of course what's a brother and sister visit without some fists? lol We headed to Kenny, Jerry and Janette and Elaina's new apartment after visiting with Kenny for a while. Looks like I didn't get any pictures that visit. After visiting with them for what seemed like forever, we finally headed to Peppermill to eat at the Island Buffet and then to looks at cars. After looking at cars we passed by the arcade and decided to go in for a little while

Glasses?

I still have lots more pictures to post of my family visiting but I just don't feel up to it right now. I've been having problems with my eyes the last couple days. Not sure if it's just because I'm tired or I need glasses. Things have been blurry, I feel like I have to squint or keep blinking to see better. It's driving me crazy. Maybe I'm just going crazy and it's just from being tired because I did an overnight they other night and it has messed up my sleep. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I can get some normal, long, good sleep. And then we'll see how my eyes are doing :)

Visit

I'll upload more later since I'm so forgetful I forgot which one I last uploaded :P

vacation

My sister, brother in law and my nephew headed home today. I already miss them like crazy. It was wonderful having them here for the week and I'm so thankful for the time we got to spend with them. Of course they stayed with us because we have quite a bit of space in our living room, so why pay for a hotel when you can stay somewhere free :) We were hardly even home the past week because there was so much we wanted to make sure we did. Looked at cars of course. Went to peppermill, atlantis, victorian square and the guys went by themselves to gsr one of the days also. Malea and I were tired and Apollo had been cranky so we decided to stay home and relax. We also ate the entire time they were here, lol. Peppermill buffet, bj's, chili's, genghis grill, peg's... I can't even remember them all. We went to wild island Friday and it was so much fun. I'd love to go more but it is kinda boring unless you have a group. The food there was horrible but we all took turns with Apollo so that we could go down some of the big kid slides. Malea and I stayed together while Josh and Joaquin had their fun. For about an hour we were in the lazy river and Apollo ended up falling asleep on his tummy laying on Malea while we were in our floaties and he got a nice little sunburn. Josh and Malea got the worst of the sun. Luckily my shoulders were a little red but not too bad. I didn't use sunblock or tanning oil because my skin has been so sensitive this summer so I didn't want to end up with a rash. So now we have a quiet empty house and I'm not loving it so much :(
