On Tuesday we drove home and it felt like it took forever! We made a few extra stops and had lunch and man it made it feel like even more of an eternity. After I got home I immediately went to work unpacking our luggage, doing laundry, putting away all the Christmas decorations, and party supply shopping. While I was buying party supplies Scott sent me a text of Corbin barf all over the kids room. So when I got home from errands it was time to scrub and do more laundry. Wow I was tired and ready for bed after that day. I couldn't decide if I should cancel my party or not because I knew my friends would freak out knowing there was a barfing child on the premises. So I decided to wait it out and see how he was feeling the next day. He was totally fine. Kids just barf sometimes. I told Scott we could go ahead and have the party but we could not share our horror barf story at this time. Seriously I know that maybe I'm the other extreme but my friends are freaks when it comes to worrying about sicknesses and germs. But seriously back to the barf it was unbelievable. Corbin managed to barf all over the edge shooting barf below and in the cracks and mattresses of Gabby and Piper's beds and all over the floor. It was truly horrible and epic.
On Wednesday I spent the day getting ready for our New Year's Eve Party. I was pretty tired and didn't do as much as I wanted but I managed to put up a few decorations and clean a bit. We played our usual games. Scott had his music playlist that people had to guess the song and artist. The Holyoaks always win. After that we played Heads Up after we discovered that our Catch Phrase has died on us. After that we played a short round of pictionary. It was time to ring in the New Year and we finished out the night playing Tripoly until 2:00 am. It was a great night. I also had presents that we had to open at different times throughout the night. One box had a quiz of the events in 2014 that they had to place in order and the other box had a quiz where they had to guess the new years resolutions of celebrities. The last box had noise makers and other things to ring in the New Year. It was a bit of a whirl wind but it was fun.
New Years day was great! It was freezing but Corbin was determined to try to sled on the tiniest hill at Jullion park on the wimpiest tube. The kids bundled up and I took them over there and waited in the car while they played. Sledding was a bust of course but they continued to play for about 45 minutes. After that we relaxed. Scott and I took a nap. We had snacks for dinner. We watched the Sound of Music and played games with our kids. It was really nice.
I spent Friday and Saturday getting ready for Corbin's first birthday party. Just writing about this week makes me tired. It was a zombie theme but I didn't really come up with anything super great. Corbin only wanted to invite the boys from his primary class so there were 5 boys total including Coribn. I thought it was kind of perfect because it's actually kind of hard to do things with larger groups especially indoors. Plus they all know each other really well so they had fun.
Kelsey and Justin stayed at our house Saturday night on their way home to Washington. We played some games with them and they got up at drove home at 4:00 in the morning.
Today we had 9:00 church after having 1:00 church and it's super hard to adjust at first. I could not get up as early as I needed to and it was a mad dash to church. Scott left for Salt Lake for work training and by 3:30 I was needing to break up my day! I loaded the kids up and crashed in on Gabe and Christy and spent several hours there eating their dinner and messing up their house and adding about 1000 decibels of noise and stress. The kids had a great time and it sure saved my Sunday for sure!
Well this is long! Peace.

| I was going to spare you all but decided that I wanted to be able to remember this epic barf fest! Ha. Although I really should try to block it out. |

| The Toxic Zombie cake. Putting those zombies on the cake seemed like a good idea but they left the most horrible plastic taste on the cake. Gabby took a bite and started bawling and spit it out. I had a really bad piece too! The boys didn't seem to notice or care. I told them the cake was not good and one of the boys said, "this is not a bad cake." Well Scott managed to eat 2 toxic free pieces. On my second toxic piece I threw the rest of the cake away! In the background are the zombie goody bags. |

That hill is so much steeper than it looks. I went on in twice and it was terrifying. Ha.
