Catch Up

There has been a few things that have happened recently and I dont even know where to begin. I do have a few pics, but not on this computer, so that will have to be another post.
well A few weeks ago was my wards, "Ward Campout" This was my 1st time going to it. Bo was unable to get work off so I decided, what the heck? I can do it all on my own. Well, I invited my sis n law Mia to come along with me. So we did. I borrowed my parents "tent trailer, or pop up trailer" and had to hitch it to the truck ALL BY MYSELF in the 100 + degree weather with at least 75% humidity. (that week was crazy hot and crazy humidity) So i hook it up by myself, (Yea me!) and as I start to drive away, maybe 20 feet, I had finally comeoff the house, and on to the street when I remember that I didnt put the "stand" up. Whoops, ya, my bad. I totally bent it sooo bad, it was unrepairable. So I told Bo and he got a little upset with me telling me that he had reminded me to make sure it was all the way up before I left. Well, Im pregnant, hitching a trailer to a truck all by my lonesome, in the heat and humidity, and then having to load the boys in the truck, adn freaking out to death cuz ive NEVER driven a vehicle with anything in tow. BSo the next morning my dad came over and showed me how to set up the trailer. we were outside maybe 30 minutes and we both were completley drenched in sweat. It was nasty. So Mia and I load up the kids and we are off. Made it to Payson, no problem. Somewhere in between Pine and Strawberry, it started to rain, wait, let me reclarify that, it wasnt raining it was POURING and HARD! Here I am driving my mother in laws truck, pulling my parents trailer, going up a curvy mountian road in the pouring rain. Well, I could not for the life of me figure out how to get the dang wipers to work. And there was NOWHERE to pull over for at least a few minutes. Im alsoholding up like 6 plus cars behind me. FINALLY I am able to pull over and I run out and runto Mia's car and tell her I cannot get the wipers to work. She comes to the rescue and saves the day. So after about 10 minutes of the heaviest pouring ever, it completley stopped and was completley sunny again. So wierd. We drove pass my exit and had to keep driving until i could find a place to turn around in such a big trailer. so we backtrack and make it to our exit. Then I pull in to the wrong camp ground and had to manuvure to turn the trailer around. Got It. Then I yet again go in to the wrong campground with literally 20 feet of room to turn around. i asked this kind young man to help steer me and the trailer so i could turn around. What a life saver he was. FINALLY we make it to the Cooper Ward Camp. We set up camp and let the kids run free. I felt really comfortable letting the kids just run around. We were in this big open area and had so many ward members all around, it was virtually impossible to get lost. The next day, Mia and I needed to go to the gas station down the road to get some ice adn a few other things.I ask a neighbor friend of mine to watch the kids. And we get back maybe 20 min later and she tells me that Conner and her son Johnson were missing. I didnt think much of it, like I said so many people all around that it seemed virtually impossible to get lost. Well a few min later, she comes back after checking at all tents and tells me that the kids are no where to be found, and then I see ALL the older kids in the ward walking together shouting out their names. My heart sunk to the bottom of my chest. I instantly told Mia that Conner was lost and to watch Coltin. So she grabbed her kids and Coltin and stayed in the trailer with them. EVERYONE in the camp was seraching for them. Iwas going crazy. Remember Bo was not with me, I was feeling so alone. I called him bawling and told him Conner was lost somewhere in the woods and we had everyone out searching for them. He told me to hang up and call 911. So I did. The closest 911 facility was in flagstaff, still maybe an hour away. I was on the phone with the dispatcher for at least 10 minutes or so, giving out name, hair color, skin color, last clothes worn, age, height, weight eye color, etc discription of the kids, when I hear some honking. I told the dispatcher that we may have found them. So I RUN as fast as I can in the pouring rain, and see whats going on and THANKFULLY someone in the ward had found them. I told the dispatcher and she was glad that they were safe and unharmed. I couldnt thank everyone enough for all they did for me. I kept thinking about the little 2 year old boy who got lost in the woods and a week later, they found him, dead. Iwas just bawling and hugging Conner sooo tightly when i FINALLY had him in my arms again. And he kinda starts to laugh and smile, thinking im crazy or something. I sat him and talked to him adn he tells me that they didnt even know they were lost.They just kept exploring. The guy who found them, said that he just had this feeling to drive down this certain road, that i had happen to go by not even 15 min before that.and there they were, standing on the side of the road. Soooo grateful for EVERYONE who was involved with searchign and finding him. I cant imagine my life without him. One of my worst mightmares come true. Absolute worst feeling ever.
On to a lighter note. Both boys are now in school. Coltin is in 1st grade with Mrs. Gonzales and she is wonderful. And he likes her a lot. Conner is still in preschool and now goes to Grandma Goose. She is so fun, i love her. Conner was a little afraid to go this morning but I stayed for a few minutes and promised him I woul pick him up right at noon. So for 3 days a week, and 3 hours on those days, I am a FREE woman. It was a little wierd, but kinda nice at the same time. I went and got me a much needed pedicure. I think I will have time to do some Temple work occasionaly, b/c I do not go nearly as much as i could/should.
We found out that we are having a GIRL!!! We are soo excited. Im 17 weeks tomorrow and go in for another u/s in a few weeks. Still havet felt the babymove or anything, but it's getting there.
Im so sick and tired of this darn blasted heat. its sooo annoying and im soooo over it. Fall in AZ is my absolute most fav time of the year. I love all the colors, smells yummy food. I just cant wait.
I cant think of anything else left to write about at the moment,and Ido need to start making dinner for my fam. I will post the pics when I remember.
