Poop in the pool, Family visits and Valentines

This post won't just be about poop in the pool, but I'm so disgusted about it that I figured it would be a good title. Anywho, my sissy and family came to visit Jared and I this weekend! They came on Friday night, and camped out in our hotel room until Saturday morning when they checked into their room for the weekend. My cute little nieces were so excited that we were all of us were having a "sleep over" together! Heather thought that the kids would get a little too loud for us during the middle of the night, because they couldn't sleep from all of their excitement..haha, but in all honesty, Jared and I miss all of those cute kids and their loud presence. We just laughed at their cute little voices until we were so tired, that we fell asleep. Saturday morning came, and around 6 in the morning Katie Lyn and Mellie were already awake and ready to go eat breakfast and go swimming! We of course, mooched off of the breakfast at the hotel...but since there was a "Krispy Kreme" down the street from us, we had to go there too! Can you say "sugar overload?" Heather's kids had never had gone before, so it was a special treat. Their cute little faces were pressed up against the glass, as they watched the donuts being made through the window. :) I asked Katie what she thought of Krispy Kreme donuts and this is what she said: " They are the most glorious donuts that I've ever had!" After the donut run, we decided to take Heather's family to the "Old Idaho State Penitentiary." The kids got bored and spooked pretty fast and decided that they would rather go to the mall. The mall in Boise is a two-story mall. The kids were amazed! :) We went to Build a bear and they picked out their own little stuffed animals, which was a good time. After that, we headed to See's Candies. Oooh how I love that place! Thanks to my sweety, I got my own box of chocolates for Valentine's Day, which I pretty much consumed the same day! My lips loved me...but now, my hips are paying for it! Haha...so we had a fun time at the mall and the kids were riding up and down the escalator like it was a ride at Disneyland. They were so happy! :) Haha...and the look on Matthew's face was priceless! The following day, we had a blast at the Boise State Zoo! There were slides and things for the kids to play on, and so many fun animals to look at! We packed a lunch and ate right outside of the Zoo. We brought bags of nasty bread too, and decided to feed the birds. Haha..the funniest thing was when Matthew was buddying up with Uncle Bubba (Jared) to chase the birds. But, when chasing became to tiring for him, he picked up a brownie from lunch and said "birdie like it?" My heart melts for that little boy..lol..he is so adorable! For dinner, we went to the "Goodwood" BBQ. It was delicious! I had some kind of Mexican salad, and I'd have to say...it's the best salad that I've had yet!
After consuming that huge dinner, the kids could not wait to go SWIMMING!! We were a little scared to try it out though, because the day before it had been shut down due to some kid pooping in the pool and they had to do a hard core cleaning. We geared up anyway, and had a blast! Monday morning however, we went to go swimming again before Heather and family had to check out and were in the pool for about 15 minutes. The first five minutes, there was another family with a bunch of little kids and one of them had to be about 2 years old, and wasn't wearing a swimming diaper or any kinds of diaper for that matter! We didn't think about it too hard..we just figured that if the kid had to, you know "do it's business," then, the parent would have taken him to go use the bathroom. Unfortunately, it didn't work like that. I'm thinking that the kid dropped a load, the dad possibly noticed, then left as fast as they could..because they jetted out of there all at once in what seemed to be a "hurry." We didn't think twice about it and everything was fine, until I had to go step into the little dookie at the bottom of the pool. I just remember feeling a "squish" between my toes and thinking to myself "please don't be what I think it is!" Sure enough...it was! Poop!!! At the bottom of the pool!!! Ahhh! The first time and last time I hope! It was nasty! I told Heather and Ryan what had happened and Heather was like a fire alarm, saying "everyone out of the pool!" Haha...it was kind of a funny moment now when I think about it, but not so funny then. I just hope those kids don't get sick from any "ecoli" or any other harmful bacteria...ew! The sickest thing, was that we were ALL swimming in it, under water, full- fledged swimming in it. I mean, that has happened before..where a public pool has been shut down due to some kid "doing their business" in the pool..but I've never been the victim before!! Ewww! Ok...I just had to throw that out there and get it off my chest. Lets just hope that NEVER happens again! lol..Parents, please make sure your kid has a swimming diaper or diaper on while in a public pool. Thank you. :)
The trip besides the poop in the pool was fantastic and it was a BLAST to see my sis, Ryan and kiddos again! :) I cried like a little baby as they drove away. But thank goodness I have a patient and loving hubby that let me cry in his chest and get his shirt all wet from tears. I'm so thankful for having a forever family. Even though we have to say good bye every once in a while, we know that we'll be together forever, and that's a good feeling. <3
Valentine's Day was awesome too! Jared is the sweetest, funniest and caring man I know, and did I mention FINE?.. and I'm so thankful that he's mine..haha! :) The Valentine's Day card that he made me was awesome and I'll admit, made me tear up a bit (in a good way). He knows that the way to my heart, isn't something always bought..but something made from his heart, and chocolate and he did both. :) Thank you baby! I became the luckiest girl in the world the day that I married you and every day together just keeps getting better! :)
