Father's Day

I know, it is a little past fathers day, but as you see from the post before this one it took 3 days to finish.
So the Saturday was great because Nathan's sister came and got the kids and took them camping with her and the grandparents, so we had a night alone. We went and got Pizza Hut (a rare luxury) and rented "Jumper". That is a fun movie. Well after the movie I had such a sick stomach that I just went to bed. I got about an hour of sleep then tossed and turned with a sick aching stomach. Finally I got the release that makes you feel better and was finally able to sleep again. I got up the next morning (being able to sleep in a little because I didn't have the get the kids ready for church), took my shower, ate breakfast and was so week that anytime I stood up to walk I would get so dizzy and feel like my head would explode. So I gave up on getting ready and sent Nathan to church alone. How sad is that.
When he got home from church we slept for a little while, and he went up to get the girls and hang out. I had the house to my self for 7 hours. I got a little more sleep and watched a lot of tv. Biography channel is so cool. I finally had enough energy when they all got home to get them bathed (caked on dirt an inch thick) and into bed, then I was wiped out again. I laid down with Dailynn before she fell asleep and she told me the cutes thing. She said "Mom I will use my powers to make you feel better, but my powers are all gone." After questioning her on how she would make me feel better without powers she said "I will get some more, I will get some at the store." I loved her ideas and fun.
Monday we went back up to the camping group and hiked to the Timpanogos Caves. I was feeling so much better by then, but I am incredibly out of shape. It was only a mile and a half up hill and it killed me. I was dizzy in the caves and had to keep holding the hand rails. On the way down the hill the two kids (Avi and her cousin Jaxson) kept counting the numbers. There are little copper coins in the paved trails saying how far from the entrance you are, so every 100 feet there was another one. It was great because it kept the kids within 100 feet and on the inside of the trail the whole time. They also didn't complain about anything because they were so excited to find the next number.
After the caves we went back to camp and made dinner. Nathan and I were in charge, and I think we were a hit. After dinner we packed up the trailer and everything and all came home. After another bath because of the dirt again the girls went to bed and so did we. I put 17000 steps on my pedometer so I was pretty exhausted.
I will post pictures of Monday later hopefully

Are you pregnant, Em? I know it's none of my business, but diziness, nausea, and the like. . . Good luck to you. I hope you feel better
