A Little Break

Oklahoma was hot and muggy, but this girl enjoyed sitting outside and getting some Vitamin D. I also enjoyed eating Chili's chips and guacamole. I also enjoyed being sent to get a pedicure. I also enjoyed my last birthday gift... a beautiful necklace. I also enjoyed the road trip home: through Oklahoma, Kansas (on a brick road!!), Colorado (so beautiful!), and in to Utah. We live in such a beautiful place! I was so grateful to my dad, who stayed a few nights with Colton.

Brake Time!

I was pretty sure that the brakes in the matchbox went out. Mister looked up the brakes that I needed for it. Jackson went and bought them. I took the matchbox and the brakes to work. Mr. Watkins told me to put the brakes and the keys on my desk. Cory came in and got them. An hour later, he was back and the matchbox was all better.

This girl is beyond blessed. Every single day.

Cheers to a vehicle that stops when you apply the brake pedal!

Friday Favorites - Bath Bombs

These are the best! Mister got me a six piece set and they all have different scents and oils in them. They are so fun. I love the way they feel on my skin. Such a fun gift idea!!!

Spoiled

Mister decided that I needed bath supplies because I love to take baths every night after I work out. Soooo, when he picked me up to take me to the airport, he brought me surprises. And, FYI... one of these will be my Friday favorite tomorrow!!!

Oklahoma

I spent last week in Oklahoma. The wind was off the hook. Trees are permanently leaning one direction... what trees there are. There was a Wal-mart, but not a big-chain grocery store. There was a Chik-Fil-A. There was a mall, with two book-end stores and nothing in between. For real. There was a nightclub and bowling alley... right next to each other. Downtown is quaint, but a lot of stores are closed down, much like the mall. Most houses are on large pieces of property, with enormous front yards. The hotel we stayed at got hit by lightening, requiring three room changes. No big deal, really. I spent the entire week relaxing. I colored for hours. I watched every movie that has ever been made... pretty sure! I walked across the four lane highway to see a movie in the only theater where there are wooden chairs, some covered in bed sheets because the fabric is coming off. I walked to one of the local, family-owned grocery stores. Everyone is so, extremely friendly... genuinely sincere. Few people have all of their teeth. But, they are so happy and so kind.

When I got home, I saw a note Jackson had left for Brothers. I am so dang proud of my boys. Nana was too sick to stay with them, so the boys were on their own. Jackson got himself and Braxton to and from work as much as he could. Uncle Brandon helped one day. Jackson got himself and Brothers to and from school every day. They ate the pre-made meals I left for them. They helped each other and supported each other. No one was injured! I am so grateful I got a week of relaxation and being spoiled... and spoiled, I was. I am so grateful my boys were safe and protected and that they got a break from Mom as well.

Pops, The Interrogator

Oh, Pops. Last week, I stopped by to check on the Nana. I had someone with me who I wanted her to meet. It just so happened that Pops was there too! Lucky B!!! Pops asked the following questions:
* Are you gay?
* Do you plan on having children with anyone that is not Heidi?
* Do you hit women and children?
* How do you feel about going to the car wash on the first date?
* Can you handle her???? She's sassy!

Cute B just laughed. He and Pops hit it off great. He answered all of the questions with the correct answers! Pops said, "She is my daughter, so I have to make sure to do my job!" I loved that so much! He was getting right in there, being protective! He and Nana are so funny and always make each other and everyone else laugh.

We sure do love them so much!!!!
