Friday June 6th, 2014. (All times AZ time).
1:28pm - Picked up Camden's beedee beedee medication and we're on our way!
1:48pm - Camden asked for quiet in here.
2:02pm - Camden's out. I gave Kellan a look to be quiet and he looked at me with blue eyes, pink cheeks and a sly grin.
2:04pm - Kellan's singing his ABC's at the top of his lungs. He's most confident at WXYZ.
2:28pm - Kellan is so tired. He's cross eyed with his mouth wide open. Oh Mr. Sandman!
2:53pm - Both kids sleeping. Aaaahhhhhh. Kellan's sweaty.
2:59pm - Mom had to stop to pee. Both kids woke up. Crap!
3:06pm- Kellan asked for a piece of kickorice (licorice)
3:13pm - As we got on I-40 Nick mentioned that this was the 1st of 2 turns we'll take the whole trip and got really excited.
3:41pm - Camden's sitting with the blanket over his head. He was a little pouty. We said "we love you" and he reluctantly replied "thanks."
3:52pm - Kellan was talking and Camden interrupted. Kellan looked shocked.
Kellan asked Camden a question and Camden said he needed some quiet time. When did he become such an old man?
3:53pm - Truck Truck Truck!
4:15pm - Crunch crunch crunch from the back seat. Better then before.
4:30pm- Passed a train. Kellan yelled "YAY THOMAS!"
4:31pm - Katy Perry's song Firework came on. Kellan yelled "MADAGASCAR!"
4:32pm - Kellan sneezed. A cheerio came flying into the front seat.
4:34pm - Either Camden's philosophical or on drugs. He asked if the train was real.
4:44pm - When Kellan asks for something, my usual reply is "if you're good". His reply is always "WE ARE!" Pronounced like NOIR as in Pinot.
4:56pm - Holbrook Wigwam hotel!
5:05pm - Kellan reminds us that we are not to hit Nana. ?
5:06pm - The boys have asked a million times if we could see Nana. I don't know what they think this torturous trek is for.
5:07pm - We're going through an area where they're re tarring the road. Camden said he smelled peppers.
5:08pm - Dad asked Camden to stop asking why so he thought a minute and asked how.
5:16pm - Camden took his shoes off. The smell in the car is almost unbearable.
5:55pm - Camden- rrrrr Rabbit! rrrrrr Rainbow! Kellan- rrrrr K!
6:01pm New Mexico!
6:02pm - Nick said we're one state closer to seeing Nana. Camden said- that's not so bad. Nick Kellan and I just looked at each other.
6:03pm - I got in trouble for talking because Camden was playing the quiet game.
6:11pm - Another whiff of Camden's feet wafted through the truck.
I keep telling the boys to just play with each other (and leave us alone). They started fighting, so I said just play with yourself. They couldn't figure out why Nick and I were laughing.
7:08pm - Camden always asks if I'm happy at him. It's his way of checking to see if he's being a good boy. He asked and I said yes. Kellan thought about this and asked if he was happy at me.
7:13pm - Nick told Kellan he was crabby. Kellan yelled "NO I'M BATMAN!"
7:17pm - Kellan frowning "Mom? Is it getting dark? Is it getting Halloween?"
7:28pm - Camden's lip singing to We are Never Getting Back Together.
7:38pm - Camden was complaining about being hungry. We are close to the hotel so trying to hold off on dinner. He was quiet until he noticed the Golden Arches in the distance. We braced ourselves then "McDONALD's!)
7:48pm - stopped for the night in Albuquerque.
8:00pm - A car passed us going pretty quickly. Nick said they might be going to their Nana's. Camden laughed and said "there's only one Nana".
8:20pm - We braced ourselves again as we passed a "BUFFALO WILD WINGS!"
8:35pm - A tired Kellan was a little grouchy when we got to the hotel and said "I just want to sit on the couch and drink my chocolate milk".

9:16am - All 3 boys peed on the side of the road. Sigh...
9:31am - Texas
10:15am - Bad accident. Road backed up forever, but we got to detour. Thank God. Hope every one's OK!

11:11am - Mom drives
11:32am - Camden's not asleep but he sounds like he's snoring.

3:37pm - Kellan to Camden - "I dropped my cars, Camden. Do you want to drop yours?"
3:55pm - Kellan put the blanket over his head and pretended he was a ghost. Then he asked Camden to scare him. I don't think he gets the ghost concept.

4:15pm - Kellan to Camden. "Camden, here's medicine! Time to get up!"
4:32pm - Kellan asked me if we were going to Play Doh. Sigh...
4:35pm - Without realizing we had both done this, both Nick and I were hiding candy from Kellan. If we took a bite of something, we would hide our heads so he wouldn't see and ask for any. Now that's top notch parenting at it's finest!
4:44pm - All 3 boys jamming to the Planes ending credits.
4:56pm - I said - there's an Iowa plate. Camden brightened up and said "Just like my friend Iyla!"

8:43pm - Camden said he's seeing shooting stars. Kellan said he saw the sun.

4:40am - Camden's talking in the 3rd person
5:50am - Iowa
6:32am - Camden dropped his car and asked me to get it. Kellan said, no Camden, not until we stop. Maybe they do listen after all?
6:38am - Passed the turn for Council Bluffs, Iowa. Nick said I call your Council Bluffs.
6:53am - We saw a truck that drives on the railroad tracks. We were going to point this out to Camden, but knew it would lead to a slew of questions. So, we just left this alone. At this point, we're just phoning in on parenting.
8:13am - We all have to poop and are waiting to go at Nana's.
8:32am - Camden took his shoes off again. I don't know how long it took us all to regain consciousness.

9:17am - Camden asked if the Minnesota sign said Nana.
9:58am - Tom & Jerry is playing in Spanish. We're not sure why...
10:08am - Both boys just asked where we're going. I'm going to lose it.
10:26am - Kellan- "the DVD's off!" We said- yes Kellan, we turned it off. Kellan- "so does that mean we're looking out the window now?"
10:48am - Nana's!
