***10 Things about...Brookly, Eric and Myself to come!

Just my luck!

So on Thursday...I went downstairs in the garage to get my cell phone and I heard water drops coming from the floor above me (Laundry Room). So I went up stairs to check it out and to my surprise and me saying "Are you kidding me." There was water 1/2 inch thick on the floor everywhere and more water pouring out of the washer. The glass door had broken and the washer thought it needed more water to keep running so it kept filling it up and pouring it onto the floor and into the carpet. I guess it doesn't have a sensor to turn it off if the glass breaks. So I told Easton to help me mop up the water. I spent the next 2 hours sucking up water with my carpet cleaner. Eric came home early to pull up the carpet and cut out the carpet pad. Our good neighbors let us borrow their high powered fan that dried it within 5 hours. Some water damage was done downstairs in the garage and Eric had to tear out some sheetrock. Overall not too much damage but enought to make us annoyed! It could have been a lot worse if I hadn't heard those water drops.

Now the fun begins...no washer. The warranty expired 3 months ago...just my luck! But of course, My dad is who he is and they will get it fixed for me. This has never happened before that they know of. My dad was so shocked to hear it happened. He has sold the Asko Washers and Dryers for a very long time. And of course it has to happen to ME!

My sweet neighbors are letting me use their washer today for a couple loads...so nice! Hopefully we will get ours fixed sometime this week! I am crossing my fingers!

Redford Mini Reunion

Last weekend we drove to Utah (through the night) to spend the weekend with Eric's Family. His brother, Jon came home from his mission so we went to Utah to be ALL together. We had a mini reunion. We hung out at Mike's New house on Friday. Easton had soooo much fun playing football with Grandma Jo. They played for a couple of hours and he loved it. He loved being we Grandma Jo and even today he said..."I miss Grandma Jo." Jo is so fun with them. She just plays and plays. She brings them fun toys to play with too...bonus! Grandma knows how to win their hearts!!!!! Friday night we went to dinner at the Smokehouse in Orem. SOOO SOOO Good. Then we just came back and hung out. And the girls watched "17 again" which was cute!

Saturday was Cameron's Baptism and Jackson's Baby Blessing. What a special day for them. We then went the park and had lunch and the first set of Family Photos. I then went to visit my dear friends, The Williams in Spanish Fork. Eric went back to Ryans and the kids rode their pony. They live on a farm. Saturday Night we all got together for Pizza, Family photos again with Jon (Amy's Husband) in them this time, Early Christmas Present exchange, and Jon's Mission Slideshow.


Sunday we just relaxed and spent time with the family. Sunday night we went to my parents for dinner and hung out with my family.

Monday Easton had his dentist appointment to get 4 cavities filled. Poor Kid. They put him out for it so we were their for 3 hours. He slept all day while I got my nails done by my sister in law, Amanda. She is great!!!!! Eric worked that day doing interviews to hire another engineer at his work.

We then left Orem at 8:45 pm to drive home. The kids slept all night in the car and we arrived home at 7am. And Eric went straight to work to fix a few problems before he came home to take a nap. He drove the whole way...I didn't touch the wheel going or coming home.

Crazy Fast Trip! Seeing family makes the 11 hour drive in the car worth it! The kids did great in the car...because they slept 90% of the time.
