Just Some Stuff

Sophie is as busy body these days....she is "perpetual motion" as my mom calls her. She can roll and get into a seated position from both sides, pull up on her hands and knees and even take a few crawls forward. I think she's my earliest crawler.

Claire has a cold and it doesn't seem that bad except that she has it in her eyes. Those big, beautiful eyes are swollen, red, and there is SO MUCH goop coming out of them it's disgusting (as she would say). Two of her favorite words right now are disgusting and because. She will say things like "because mom.....I need a drink because" it makes no sense but she likes to throw it into sentences as often as possible.

Here is a conversation that happened between Tayson and I tonight:

Me: I am sooooo sick of you doing that
Tayson: Then why aren't you throwing up?

Are kids his age supposed to be sarcastic????

And lastly....my hip is doing so much better. Thank goodness for physical therapy! I've been working on my running drills to change my form slightly (my hips are in front of my head and shoulders and I strike my heels too hard). At the end of our 6 mile run yesterday I could totally feel my hamstrings so I think I'm starting to work the right muscles. Yahoo!!!

A Fun Filled Weekend

Man this weekend was jam packed ... I didn't have anytime to blog at all! Friday night was the fathers and sons camp out for our ward. Todd took both boys this year which was FABULOUS. I made Todd a nice healthy foil dinner with turkey burger and veggies and sent some hot dogs and marshmallows for the boys (not so healthy...oh well). They had a good time, but it was very cold and none of them got any sleep.

Our girls night was super fun and my little ladies have some adorable hair bows now. Thank goodness that I have so many friends with mad craft skills. My speciality was hot gluing the ribbons on the clips in preparation for the bows or flowers. It was so much fun and I tried really hard to limit the amount of super yummy treats I consumed (don't worry Traci's recipe is coming soon).

Saturday morning I got out on my bike and we rode up to Southfork. It was my first ride since last November and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. Which is probably why I ate a bug on my way down the canyon! I was so much fun riding with the ladies and I still have a few more months of beautiful fall weather here. I love my bike and I love that I have such a great group of friends to ride with.

Then on Sunday it was my week to teach and Todd was set apart as Ward Clerk. So he has 6 hours of meetings to look forward every Sunday morning from now on. I'm not sure which will be harder for me: getting Todd out of bed before 7:00 am or getting all the kids ready and to church on time by myself.

When we were leaving church the minivan battery was dead so we decided to walk home. It was beautiful outside. The kids were hilarious. They kept saying we didn't know how to get home and that we would NEVER make it home. Silly kids. So today I got to go get a new battery. Ugh!

I promise that I will set aside more time to blog properly....pictures and everything!
