Where Have All the Peacock's Gone???

I've been asking myself the past few weeks the same question! The second half of the month was such a blur and I haven't felt like blogging because I had too much to blog about. We've been having great fun with traveling, sicknesses, and potty training....
So I just put it off and now you are going to get a VERY large update! I should learn my lesson!

Going back to the weekend of May 16th, we watched my brother Jason's daughter, Jocelyn, over night. We had so much fun with her! The next day after they picked her up we all went to the little zoo in Logan. I love that place!

That night, on a random passing by of Wilson Motor's in Logan, we took a liking of Nissan Pathfinders. We knew our little Passat wasn't going to cut it once we add another baby in the backseat AND try put anything else in the car too. Since we go out of town to visit family so much we debated what to do about our cramped situation.
So Monday we test drove and by Tuesday we were the proud new owners of an 06 Nissan Pathfinder. It was sad saying good bye to the Passat, but we felt very good about our decision and have not regretted yet (in the past 2 weeks anyway!)
Good bye little red Passat-- you were a good ride!

Out with the old....

And in with the new....

During the course of that week, another adventure began-- ILLNESSES in the Peacock home. For several weeks Tianna had had head congestion and it eventually turned into night-time coughing. I sort of think it began as allergies... or so I thought until Luke came down with a bad cold also. Those two battled out sickness all week and by Thursday when Tianna had a high fever I decided to take her in. As suspected, she had a sinus infection. Bring on the antibiotic!
(More on this issue later)

Meanwhile, we were still in the process of POTTY TRAINING. She had been doing impressively well! A potty-chart with prizes as well as Princess and Dora underwear seemed to be the golden ticket. Until...... one bad experience with numero 2 got her all freaked out and she decided she was no longer going to try in case it hurt her. This created a very VERY long trip down to Castle Dale. Between all the potty breaks (usually unsuccessful ones at that) and Memorial Day traffic, what usually takes us just over 3 1/2 hours took us 6 hours. Let's just say, potty training continued to go badly at grandma's house too.

Despite potty issues, we had a fun weekend anyway. We spent some time at the new swimming pool and Tianna had a blast with her cousin Aden and friend Lala. They played and played all weekend long with toys, the horses, and she even got to help make brownies with grandma Belinda.

Since it rained all weekend we didn't get as much outdoors action as we wanted to, but we still have a fun fishing trip on Memorial Day. Tianna (Luke) caught a few fish but she was much more interested in playing in the dirt with Aden. It made it nice for us parents who didn't have to keep them out of water the entire time. Independence can be great, can't it!

Luke had to return to Logan for a few days of work so I stayed with my mom for a couple of days. We also spent plenty of time with my sister and her kids too.

Luke came back to Price on Wednesday night because on Thursday we went to Manti to attend the wedding of one of our dearest friends, Blake, and his beautiful bride, Chantel. We are so happy we could be there for their special day!!! It was also really cool because Luke's other best friend, Robbie and his wife Sarah (whom I became good friends with at CEU) and Mindy, one of my best friends, and her husband, Jay were all there. It was a great reunion! Funny little tid bit-- we were sitting in the sealing room in the temple and we discovered that all of us were married in that exact same room! Go Room 2 AKA Needle Point Room!

It was a pretty busy day. We got to the temple at 9:00 and then after all the events there we drove to Spanish Fork for the luncheon... spent several hours after that killing time (Thanks for letting us visit Jay and Joy!) and then went to the reception. Following that, we drove back to Castle Dale.......... basically we just wanted to see how many miles we could put on our new car in one week!!!

The remainder of the weekend was when the REAL fun began. Ha. Ha. In the middle of Thursday night Tianna woke up with the worst stomach flu ever. That little girl was so sick. We spent all of Friday doing nothing but lying around. Luke still wasn't over his cold either and I had gotten it too. Tianna was still sick from her sinus infection and was now battling a horrible stomach virus on top of that. We were pretty pethetic all day.
We did venture out on a little drive Friday evening-- just to get out of the house! We drove out to the Little Grand Canyon (the Wedge) which is 30 minutes out of Castle Dale.
My goodness that place is beautiful!!! The only thing that could bring a smile to Tianna's face though was a flower in her ear. Good thing she's a girlie-girl or else little things like that might not do the trick!

Saturday we went to Price and basically spent our whole time there resting and recovering also. I did get to attend the bridal shower of my good friend, Annie though. That was a plus! :D

By Sunday we were all so ready to be home. It's hard being sick when you are away from the comforts of your own place. Thankfully we made it home without any potty stops or any puking stops! yay!!! Unfortunately that good luck only lasted until a half hour after Tianna was in bed. Then it was time for more laundry!

Luckily things are looking up for all of us this week. Oh, except for yesterday just when I thought she was about over everything, Tianna woke up with a rash all over her body! UGH! For a kid who is hardly ever sick she certainly decided to make it a good old round this time! Hopefully we will all get over everything and stay that way because we really need to get healthy before this baby makes her grand entrance into the world. ... .which by the way is most likely going to be on JUNE 13th!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's really not far away and I'm sorta freaking out about it!! Don't get me wrong, I'm sick of being pregnant, but am I really to be Mommy of 2?!?!?!
After all the sleepless nights lately and extra loads of laundry due to potty training and stomach flu... I feel like I already have a newborn living with me, but I'm still not sure I'm quite ready for all this yet!!! Too late now though, right?

I guess that just means the adventures will continue! Stay tuned for more updates on the baby situation!
