You lost me! What is Tiffin?
it's a term used during the British Empires rule in India. It's like afternoon tea....they refer to it alot in the film "Carry on up the Khyber" (cultural classic
)
Sorry Winkers,
It went by way to quick!! We have lots of pics to share though! 
Hi guys!!!!
I haven't posted in ages and I know I have sooooooo much to catch up on, but I wanted to give a drive-by post from here in Yellowstone! Hard to believe I have internet access! We are having a blast although Jenny & her family leave in the morning and I'm really bummed about that.
Hope everyone is doing well!! I miss you guys!!

Hi guys. We just got home and unpacked the car. 
I am dirty and tired but we had a fabulous time!!!!! 
I love Jenna et al even more than ever. We took a ton of photos and even got a few of some Peeps! The weather was perfect and the company even better. DH is going to upload the photos soon, I promise, and then I'll post them. I can't wait until he asks what's up with the Asian families! 
DH and Gab will see them next month in DC but I'll have to wait. Any word from Jo? 
Washington DC not DCA. Gabby is going with People to People and since I am a paranoid freak show, Michael and my FIL are going as well so someone will be nearby in the event of an emergency. My FIL has a cousin that lives near Arlington so he and DH are going to stay there and tour DC while Gab is at her leadership forum. Jenna et al live less than 5 hours from DC so they are going to meet DH, Gab, and my FIL there the weekend of the 13th.
I can see you now!!!! I have thought about it, believe me. Having DH go seems like a fair compromise. I found uber cheap airfare, $212 each RT, from SLC to Washington Dulles. My FIL's cousin is not only putting the guys up but they've got their choice of vehicles to drive: the Porsche or their Ford F150. Tough choice huh?!
I'm so not ready for it! I did think about bring my camera along so I could take pictures. I decided there are more fun and sneaky ways of embarassing him!
We're almost ready. School starts a week from tomorrow. I signed my baby up for high school today!
. I was on pins all day but she thoroughly enjoyed it....next up Niamh starting nursery next month
(too many milestones happening this year, don't like it ).
We're almost ready. School starts a week from tomorrow. I signed my baby up for high school today!
Mine start school on Monday too. 
Let's think of ways to help embarrass him............
It was so much fun. Today is my first day back at work and it's already but I am going to try to begin our mini-trippie within this trippie. 
?Oh Winkers, feeling your pain believe me. Becci started high school on Monday and I was crying as she walked out of our street
All my DIS friends have high-schoolers! Better you than me ladies! How was your weekend?
Last time it seemed to work well.
The kids and I were bouncing off the walls unlike their last visit when the kids fell alseep hours before they arrived. The kids and I went outside to wait. I am sure the neighbors thought we were insane for jumping up and down and screaming with excitement at midnight. 
Gab finally got too embarrassed and went inside but Chloe and Joshua waited with me. All of a sudden we see their car turn into our subdivision!!!! 
Nate flashed the lights and pulled into the driveway. There were lots of hugs to go around!!! It felt like old friends reuniting. The kids were all kinds of jacked up to see each other. I think Jenna and I had done a pretty good job of sending bday gifts, cards, and phone calls so they still "knew" each other. Gab said she was hungry which in turn made everyone realize they were hungry so being the good host I am I offered to cook. 
Grilled quesadillas? Nathan's hot dogs (remember it was 1 am by this time)? Eggs, pancakes? Nope. My guests wanted Pizza Rolls. I cooked up a plate of some and they were gobbled down but mostly by Emma and Gabby. 
The next morning what do you think Emma wanted for breakfast? 
Pizza Rolls. Made my life very easy. I woke up fairly early and I think our guests woke up around 9ish. I guess Nate got up around 6 to make phone calls for work. For some strange reason, Nate sat in his car to make calls. 
He didn't want to wake us. My friends are very considerate. We did some decent damage at Sam's and Walmart but not before going out to lunch. We went to Wingers which is by no means great but it's close and good. I think I lost like 50 Martha Stewart points on this one day alone. 
After pizza, we chatted and the kids played outside. Before dinner Nate decided he was antsy and wanted something to do. 
I kid you not he wanted to do yard work. Who I am to deprive a guest of their wish? He and Jon watered all my freshly planted greenery and Nate did some weeding too. He really wanted to. I think he was chicked out.
He took us in their new engine and drove us around and the kids had a blast with the lights and sirens. 
In the middle of our visit, DH got a mutual aid fire call for a nearby city. Off he went and off we went or so we tried. This is when Nate jumped my beast............................................
Do I want to know what "nate jumping your beast" refers to?
It's benign actually. I can't wait to post my Yellowstone pics. I got Peeps pics and thought of you and Jordan while I took them.
Sounds like a great trip so far . . . can't wait to hear about the beast jumping!
Now you've got me thinking about Totino's pizza rolls -- I'll have to get me some of those!
Sam's Club has the best deals. 
I spent 2 hours last trying after the kids went to bed.
