Before we left California we were able to get a five generation picture.
Addi got her picture take in great grandmas bowl by her fire place just like her mommy did when she was a baby.
Addi had one more good laugh from great grandma in the airport right before we left. We did not relize that we would be seeing them again real soon. Be prepared for some more airport drama. We got to the airport to find out that our plane was going to be delayed by half an hour. No big deal we have had worse. Before we passed through security they anounced that it was going to be delayed even more but we had to pass through security by 8 because that is when the security closes. So Addi and I said farewell to great grandpa and grandma and passed through seurity where we got a pat down because I had a sleeping baby in the sling and didn't want to wake her up by taking it off (I wore the sling through security in the other 2 airports with no problem this airport was just being picky). When we were waiting in the boarding area for our plane they anounced that there were some intoxicated indivduals on our plane coming from vegas that had to be kicked off so they would let us know when our plane left vegas. I then recieved a call from my aunt that my little brother and sister had been in a car accident on their way home from lake powell with their mom, step dad, half brother and two family friends but we didn't know any details. I then heared from my dad that he was on his way to the hospital to where they were being life flighted. My dad was on his way to vegas to pick me up from the airport but turned arounfd when he heard about the accident. I was now left to the task of finding another ride from the airport. I called my mother-in-law who aranged for her brother who lives in vegas to come pick me up. Not to long later I recieved a call from my grandmother who said that Alissa, my sister, Tyler, use to be my step brother, and Darren, my sister's step father did not survive the crash and the original information that my father recieved that they were being life flight was incorrect. Shortly after that call my phone died. I was alone in an airport with my thankfully sleeping baby not knowing when I was going to be leaving with my 7 year old sister dead and 10 year old brother in the hospital. Just a warning to all of you never travel with me if you have been reading my blog you know something always goes wrong. Well the plane finally got there I made it to Vegas and to Jared's uncles house was able to get a few hours sleep before then renting a car and driving to Utah.
This is Addi with my brother when we were with my littler brother at his house a couple of days after the crash. It is 3:30 in the afternoon and Addi has yet to take a nap. Needless to say I left her with my my the rest of the week. My brother was fine only a few scraps and bruises. My Dads whole family came out for the funeral that was on friday. Jared was able to fly out for a couple of days, but I still had to fly out of vegas that following monday and as you can guess not a good experience. On sunday afternoon I had driven down to St. George to stay the night at my mother in law's house. I was up all night throwing up. For some reason nursing Addi just made it worse. I had to get up monday mornig still feeling awful drive down to Vegas drop off the rental car and get to the airport. It was fairly smoothly for feeling like I was going to barf any second until we hit security. I had told them that I had water in the diaper bag to mix with formula just like I had everyother flight we had taken in the last month. Well my diaper bag was picked to be search. The security guy said that I couldn'thave the water because it was not nursery water. He said I should have mixed up the formula before passing through security. They had no problem when I passed through that same security line 2 weeks before and I have only seen nursery water come in gallons and I wasn't about to carry around a gallon of water. If I had mixed up the formula before passing through security it would have been no good by the time I needed it. Normally it wouldn't have been that big of deal but I was under alot of stress hadn't had much sleep and couldn't breast feed or I would throw up. The guy then proceeded to tell me I had the option of checking it in my luggage. This didn't sit well with me. Crying I yelled what good is it going to do in my checked luggage grabbed my diaper back and stormed off. I hope the guy felt bad for making me cry and I am glad they just let me go and didn't hold me for further searching because I made a seen. I made it to my gate bought a new bottle of water and got on the plane. Addi was just fine on the plane and a nice man that was sitting next to us helped me carry my bags off the plane. We are both home safe now and I hope that things can get back to some what normal.
