Where do people with bad luck go? VEGAS BABY

If we didn't have BAD LUCK we'd have no luck at all

There goes our plane---ONLY problem we're not on it! Can you believe we missed our plane to paradise because some skycap person directed us to check in at the international terminal. We went there and no one was around. So then we went to check in at the Delta terminal we used the kiosk which after four attempts told us we needed to see a ticket agent. After waiting in line to speak to a ticket agent we learned that the machine stops printing baggage tags at 45 minutes prior to flight departure we missed it by THREE minutes. So the agents said he could get us on the flight with NO luggage. CRAZY!! So the next option was to start looking for flights the only problem was that the flight he could get us on next went to Atlanta then we may have up to a day layover to see if we could get a seat to Cancun. Not a very fun option. Next option Re-book the whole thing for a later time. One way plane tickets to Cancun only happen once a week out of SLC. So the soonest we could go would be Saturday the 11th. That doesn't work because our kids would miss another week of school and my babysitter would have to go back to work. SO LONG story short we chose to rebook in January - don't know if that's going to work but we can shoot for it. Also, now we purchase insurance on the trip in case anything crazy like bad luck happened we would not lose our money....WELL now the all inclusive resort may not refund our money - YIKES- so we are working with Delta who has a documented statement that is was the airlines fault we missed the flight and the resort has to decide if they will refund our money. What a mess!!!! So for those of you who know us - I guess it's not too surprising - But what a disappointment Blair and I wait 15 years to go on a REAL vacation and we still don't get to go!

How do you spell Paradise

M E X I C O only 2 days BABY!!!

Hair Cut

BEFORE AFTER I can SEE her eyes! Candace got her hair cut today - We were trying to go for the "no bang" thing but she never left her hair pretties in and her hair was always in her face! So today I finally got to see her beautiful blue eyes!!! She was so excited.

Ladybug

Today Ashley was out gathering flowers from our garden. She came and sat down by me with something in her hand. She looked at me and said, "Mom, now I know how Heavenly Father made ladybugs." She opened her hand to show me a live ladybug and continued with her observation. She said, "He got a potato bug and gave it wings painted them red with black polka dots! Want to see" It was a fun moment then she said see all those pretty flowers in my car- I'll sell you one for .25 cents! She's such an entrepreneur she's going to be rich one day.

Are these really MY kids?

Okay - they really are my kids. We enjoyed going to the local costume shop and buying wigs for their Halloween costumes. I know it's a bit early but I couldn't resist. If you are wondering what or who they are I'll fill you in. Blaze is Ozzy Osbourne (I know it's kind of crazy letting him be someone so "old school" but he likes the costume). Ashley is a punk rock girl. She fit the costume attitude and all. Candace is going to be Princess Aurora or Sleeping Beauty. She loved the long hair. Blair and I are planning on being Barney and Betty Rubble from the Flinstones. Crazy eh. I'm still working on making the costumes, I'm sure I'll post our pics. I can't wait for Halloween- the kids even get that day off from school. I'll have to think of something spooktacular to do with them!

Party like a rockstar

• >>Have you ever felt like someone else is living YOUR life? For those of you who know me - know that I use the phrase, "Party like a Rockstar" for everything. I would love to know just how rock stars party.

I know what I would do if >I could party like them......I would stay up all night sleep all day - remind you of a cheesy 90's song by Slaughter? Boy does that date me or what. Anyway I loved this pick up even the license plate was rockstr. I was jealous. I have had some fun and "partied like a rockstar" in a very Jennifer way.
