Let's Get Real

As most of you know I am a new blogger and I have loved posting things that are precious to me. My friend Kim from Boston even commented on "the amazing things" on my blog. I tried to tell her I only post the most memorable things but I realize that it starts to feel like a blog brag-a-thon. So a while ago I saw this thing on Night Line how this Mom post the truth about motherhood on her blog. I appreciated her honestly. So I am now turning my blogging experience into the highlight of my day. I will call them highlights even if they are low lights because you can't always choose what comes your way but you can choose how you look at it. So as for today my high light had to be when Wyatt pooped in the portable potty while I was feeding London. I had drifted into a quick nap because I woke up this morning at 5:00 to go to the gym that I have gone to every day for the past 6 weeks to try and lose this baby fat stuck to my buns and haven't lost a pound because I like to eat to much- anyway back to the poop. I was awakened by the sweet aroma of my 3 year old poop as he shoved his portable potty container under my nose and said, "I go potty in the big boy toilet so I can go on the golfing course with dad!". Would it totally gross you out if I said I was pleased by this????

3 boys = Lots of sports

Our social life consists of Friday night baseball and pot-luck after the game. Don't get me wrong we have a lot of fun but now days our boys sporting events take up a lot of time!!! Brayden is loving baseball. He plays with his good friend Christian and goes 5 out of the 7 days of the week. Tyson is our little quarterback and he played football with his cousin Dallin. So from driving back and forth to games and dressing like we are in the antartic in May due to the unusual cool weather, little London wonders what type of family she was brought into. It's a busy one that is for sure.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Wouldn't life be great if every day were Mother's Day? If every morning you slept in and when you finally decided to wake up you were brought breakfast in bed? And wouldn't it be great if you were told how much your kids appreciated all that you do with little hand prints or drawn pictures with lots of hearts and flowers? And wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to deal with bugger noses and muddy foot prints, no laundry and no dishes. No homework and and dinner was magically placed on the dinner table warm and delicious. If every day was Mother's day then we wouldn't be able to fill our roll and be called mothers so thank heavens for that wonderful day even if it does only come once a year. Happy Mothers day to all our wonderful Mom's and thanks to the dad's for giving us the day off.

CHIP'S BIRTHDAY

Our sweet Chipper turned the big 35 last week. Birthdays to me, are a big deal- I feel that it is the one day of the year that you get to do or say anything and everyone has to be nice no matter what because it is your birthday. So to celebrate we started out the weekend before with a cheesecake tasting party with some friends. Chip loves cheesecake so I bought one piece of almost every kind at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so yummy but after a while made us a bit sick. The kids gave dad some great presents and Chip and I tried to have a fun romantic night out on the town. It didn't quite turn out that way. I scheduled a massage at Massage Envy which is the dumbest places ever. They advertise cheep massages because they give you cheep massages. You get what you pay for but what can you do. Then we went to Five Alls because it is suppose to be this great restaurant with an excellent reputation but it was a disaster. We waited for 40 mins to be seated when we had reservations and then no waitress ever showed up for another 15 mins and then the food was gross. We saved the night by picking up our kids from the baby sitter and going to our friends to roast marshmallows at the camp fire. All and all it was just fun to be together. By the way notice Wyatt stealing a taste of the cheesecake when our backs were turned. Way to go Wyatt.

London's Blessing

London was bless last Sunday and it was such a wonderful day- a day I had waited for a long time. I actually bought her dress in England over 10 years ago and I am so glad that she was able to wear it. (You can't tell I was excited can you. We feel so blessed to have such great family and friends surrounding us to celebrate this special day. Here are a few photos from that day.

SPRING SKING

I HAD TO GO SKIING AT LEAST ONCE THIS YEAR BEFORE THE SEASON WAS OVER AND IT WAS DEFIANTLY WORTH THE WAIT. CINDY AND I WENT TO SNOWBIRD ON ONE OF THOSE GORGEOUS WARM DAYS AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. IT REMINDED ME WHY I PUT UP WITH LONG COLD WINTERS!!!!
