It was so fun to see Julie and Danae again! They came over and we just chatted for HOURS! It was great! And a much needed break from being home alone all day with Paige (for almsot a month!) I am so excited that Paige is getting healthy enough, and old enough for interaction with other people! It makes my life not so lonely and mundane! haha I LOVED seeing these girls again! Thanks for coming over, both Paige and I enjoyed it very much!!
This bean bag weighs 95-100 pounds and is huge and akward to carry, so we slid/pulled it down the stairs and to the car on a blanket. And after stuffing for a while, then we had the idea to document it. This is the bean bag, probably about half way in. Crazy I know! It looks like the car is pooping out something huge and blue!
And with more pushing and tugging and tucking, we were able to make some progress.
This was officially my work out for the month! I would have never guessed, but every single muscle in my body can push, and can be sore from pushing!
In this picture I like the blanket just chillin there. We used it to lay down and push with our legs. We even brought one of our folding chairs our to use. This thing is crazy stubborn!
After and hour and a half of pushing and pulling and tucking this is how close we got! We were all out of energy and ideas on how to get the trunk to close all the way!!So we walked over to the apartment office to see if they had some twin or something we could use to tie it down, but to no avail!
When we got back I had a renewed determination!! And my a true miracle we got the trunk closed!!!! Oh I was soooo elated!!! And not 10 seconds after it closed there was this huge thunder clap, and a storm started coming! It was a great modern miracle of bean bags!! And no, my plan did not work out entirey, fo I wanted the bean bag to be soely in the trunk and fill the back seat with tubs and such, but I will take what I can get!
At least the trunk is closed and our bean bag is in the car!! I have packed other things, but the boxes are too heavy and big for be to carry out alone, and it is pouring rain, so that adventure will be saved for later tonight! But for now, I will just relish in the triumph over the bean bag!!! 
This picture is taken while driving down to the doctors. The little sicky was in the back being too sick to be in the picture =>
So we get to the doctor place, which is in a kindof shady part of town, but we take the little sicky in and they tell me to be back at 4 (it was 2:45) so that was no problem, it would just be faster than we expected, which is never a bad thing. So Danae and I drop him off and head into dowtown to do some exploring.
We made a food break at McDonalds, and I get a text from the sicky saying it will probably be more around 3:45 that he is done. So we didnt have as grand of an adventure as hoped (driving thru dowtonwn and eating mcdonalds) but no big. So we head back to the doctors and get there about 3:35. I go to the front desk to find out where to pick up the patient, and they tell me I willhave to wait longer because he is still in gettin looked at. I didnt think it was going to be too long, but boy was I wrong! We start reading magazines to be entertained, but they are all over a year old! so we knew all the stories! So we started entertaining ourselves with taking pictures.
Little did we know we would be taking pictures for the next TWO HOURS!!!!!
Yep, as you would expect some of the pictures got pretty funny and weird! =>
But the funny thing is, while we were taking all these pictures, we were doing them silently! I know it doesnt look like it, but we were skilled at stealth-mode pictures! The nurses did not want to be there, and therefore were not very nice, so we didnt want to agravate them =>
Wheel chairs.... oh so fun! I would never wish to have to be in one, but they are great tools for enjoyment and fooling around! =>
No, Danae didnt actually push me around, remember we had to be super quiet, but we can fake like it in the pictures =>
And off we go!! => Just kidding, this was only when we had been waiting at the office for one hour! Little did we know we had a whole other one to go!
Can I just say, doctors offices are boring!! They have nothing fun in them! Good thing I found a camera in my purse, or who knows if we would still sane? =>
So we took well over a hundred pictures while we were there, but I am chosing only the best to put on here. Some of them got a little random, which some of these are, just imagine like fifty times more weird, and just be grateful you dont have to see them =>
IT was taking forever! And we didnt want to bother ther nurses too much about it, so we just patiently waited.. and waited... and waited... and waited.......
We were dreaming of a time when we were not trapped in a doctors waiting room.... hehehe not really, just taking more random pictures. =>
My hand is on top, oh yeah, look how tan I look!! =>
These pictures are my favorite! Just imagine, having to jump and time just right, while being absolutely silent. Yeah, we got pretty talented at jumping quietly! =>
And about this move, I call it going crazy in a waiting room => hehehe
So we totally even got bored of taking pictures! This was our last one, just to show our bordem. But luckily like 30 seconds after this picture was taken, a nurse brought out our little sick boy all drugged up! And it was time to go home!!! I am glad I could help him out, but doctors are not my favorite, especially when they tell you a time, which is hours off, and cause you to wait in a boring waiting room!! But luckily I had a friend nice enough to join me in the bordem. =>
What a beautiful day to go to the temple! Denver weather is so funny, it will be gorgeous like this until about 4:30, then it will rain and thunder and hail like you would never believe!
Me and the wives!! These girls are so great to do all this stuff with me! I am so thankful to have friends out here!
Me and one of the wives in the background! I still think the grounds are absolutely gorgeous!! =>
Can you tell I am excited first to have something to do today, and second to be doing it with friends and at the temple! Yay!!
This picture reminds me of a wedding photograph, how its focused on one person, but one person is out if focus and in the background => I still think it is cute though!
Pretty pink and purple!! I love the little accents that are thrown in too!!
Proof that it really is the temple I say it is! =>
Some of the wives! We totally stacked our bags and made a sweet rig so we could but the camera of automatic timer and take a pictue of all of us! We are pretty inventive i think! => I had such a blast today!! Yay for friends and temples!!!
I love the temple!! I was like a kid in a candy store, I was so excited that we made it on time! => (traffic wasn't horrible but it deffinately was not good)
After we got out it was picture time! => We tried to take a picture of ourselves in front of the temple, but this is how it turned out, not as good as we would have hoped.
So then we wised up. There were construction workers working on the grounds, so we asked one of them to take a picture of us, and it turned our marvelous! =>
One of my favorite things about temples is their grounds! They are always so beautiful and have the prettiest flowers and shrubbery!! This picture reminds me of the wizard of Oz when they fall asleep in the flowers. =>
Janae found a stubbylight pole that we could jump up and sit on and then have a cool angle for a picture! I like it! And look at that gorgeous sky by the temple! Beautiful!!
These trees were so fun and pretty! Oh goodness, I don't know what can compare with the temple and its grounds!
Then there was this patch that had like a gazillion daisies! Ok maybe not that much, but a lot! And it was so pretty!!!
I love daisies too, they are such a happy flower! Today was so much fun and so wonderful! I still have not gone to the temple with JAred while living here, but he went one time with some of his sales team, so at least he went! That is the next goal, to go with him at least once whie we live in Denver!
Oh yeah, we just ran! =>
Don't even think about messin with us! We will whoop yo trash!
This is what we looked like running! => Yes I know we are silly =>
On your mark....... get set..........
Go! And we are off! =>
The thing that comes to my mine when I see this picture is the cheer "We bad, we know it, we're here, to show it" =>
Then commences the jumping pictures! =>
I taught them the toyota (or C) jump. It turned out pretty cool =>
We asked a passer-by to take a pictre of all four of us! For some reason when people take pics with that camera, their finger is always in the shot. Maybe I have a weird camera =>
Oh yeah, we can dance. =>
We tired to find the coolest car to get a stretching picture by, this is all we could find => The other ones were just normal cars.
Then we found this cute motorcycle!
Since we pretty much rocked the jumping pictures we thought we would try hand stand pictures. The goal was to get one person on a hand stand with feet and hands apart, one person standing rightways up in that position, then one in a hand stand again.
This was as close as we ever got. None of us expected it would be so hard. =>
Oh yeah, rocking our cute ecosure wives tanks! (we finally figued out how to do self timer on my camera so we wouldnt have to ask random people who get their fingers in the pictures)
Some of the EcoSure wives! If it wasnt for these girls, I would probably go crazy here with Jared working so much!
After like forever taking pictures, we went to Denny's to have a celebratory breakfast! => This was so much fun to do but I found out something. I am a walker not a runner. (in more ways that one =>) But it was so much fun!!
