A fun yet LOOONNNG weekend

This weekend we went to Thatcher to go attend Chris's farewell. The talks and songs were great....but we had a lot of bumps along the way.
Are you ready for a novel....here ya go.

Friday morning the girls woke up and A had a super bad diaper and O had thrown up in the middle of the night without me knowing. I thought it might have been something that they ate...so after naps we loaded up the van and went to pick up Amanda. (Doug had already left to put a new A/C unit in for my mom.) On the drive over to Amanda's A puked 2 more times. I felt so bad for her and drove to Manda's as fast as I could. Still thinking it was something she ate. We cleaned up and decided to just head to Thatcher b/c who wants to take care of sick kids at home without help? Bad idea. She threw up again in Globe, but we made it Thatcher safely. The next day everyone was acting fine so we played outside in grandma's backyard in the morning and swam and ate popsicles in the afternoon. At about 5 pm that evening Hyrum starting throwing up. And at 7 Abigail starting throwing up. And at 10 Audree woke up and started throwing up!! It was a nightmare. Janiel, Amanda, and I were running around with bowls and towels trying to catch it all. It was just awful. Finally Audree went back to sleep and Hyrum and Abigail went to bed at 2am and woke up at 6am!

Church was the next day and all of the Udall kids, J, Ma,Chris and Me were singing in sacrament meeting. So we left the kids home with my sweet Doug b/c it would have really been a disaster if they would have thrown up at church. Every one was fine and we really enjoyed Chris's great talk about the 4th article of faith. He will be such a great missionary.

Longing for Africa!

At the luncheon we sang a song "Africa" by the group Toto. (You know it....I hear the rains down in Africa)

Anyways, we made up different words to the song to fit Chris. And then did Choreography that he had used with his Choraleers group. Some of the lyrics are

.....Be the tallest white guy down in Africa...

.....May find a black girl down in Africa....

....Stain alot of white shirts down in Africa....

....Don't drink the water you'll get runny poos....

.....Sing with the natives down in Africa.....

....When he comes home he will be a better man....

Anyways....Super funny!

This is the runny poo dance move

Doing Choraleers Choreogrpahy

Our family....My mom just painted her kitchen(Don't you love it Lis) and made new twall curtains. So cute!
So we thought everyone was better and we went home. At 11pm on Sunday night Audree woke up puking again....Ugh! Poor baby. Monday comes and everyone is acting ok so I gave them a cup of milk. Bad idea. We then went to Walmart and she threw up everywhere at Walmart. We left the cart with Customer service, and with a child on each hip trecked it out to the car. Most of the throw up was on me, so I took of my shirt, and garment top and drove home in my sports bra. The funny thing was when I got there someone from my ward was at my door droping of an annocement. Me neighbor across the street rear ended her and I was there in all my stretch mark glory in a bra!! I left both kids in the car and ran in to get a shirt. By the time I got outside she was driving off. So I guess all was ok with her car.

Wow! If you made it through that, Thanks for being a tropper! No one has thrown up yet today....I'm crossing my fingers. And we are staying indoors all day.:)
