Saturday Mornings
Saturday is the only day Todd gets to sleep in and he usually gets up with the kids so I can go running so when I get home I try to let him go back to sleep for a few hours. This happens to be prime grocery shopping time in my schedule so I usually take 2-4 kids with me so he can sleep. Some weeks I question my sanity, some weeks I get really mad at the kids, other weeks we do just fine. This week the kids were being fine (they weren't sitting still or anything) but they were being good.
The seat belt in the car didn't work so I couldn't keep Sophie in the seat. She kept climbing out either while I was looking for items to buy or while I was cruising down the isle. At one point a nice lady saw her and grabbed her before she dove out.
The part that sucked was that some older lady stopped me to let me know that Luke had stepped on her foot and "nearly knocked her over". WHAT? Seriously - how could a kid that size do that much damage if he wasn't running (and he wasn't). He was doing me a favor and grabbing something from the other side of produce (banana's I think) when the foot stomping occurred. The lady was so rude and rather than get mad I just apologized and had Luke say sorry to her. But honestly it was ridiculous.
Then I decided to take care of business so I ordered balloons for YW new beginnings for the following Wednesday. Then later that day realized that I was 3 weeks off. WOW! I had a really bad day at the store to be that off.

I finally found a place where Sophie didn't cause trouble. She loved getting into my purse.

Motherhood
Yesterday I spent the day reading this blog about Bronson and I cried and cried. I don't know Sara very well (we have mutual friends and I see her at the gym). I can't stop thinking about her family and her sweet baby boy (who is 3 months younger than Sophie). She has changed my life and I know that because of her I want to be a better mother.
Yesterday Tayson went home from school early and last night about an hour after he went to bed he came into my room with his Star Wars blanket and a very sad look on his face. He hurt so bad and I told him to climb in bed with me. He cuddled up next to me, laid his head on my chest and I put my cheek on the top of his head and just held him until he fell asleep. The whole time I just kept thinking about how big he is now and how much I love him and how grateful I am that I have him. Rather than be upset about how late it was (I mean it was past 10pm...) and how tired I would be in the morning I just wanted to hold him. Soon he will be too old to want to cuddle with me and my back scratching and kissing might not make everything better but for now I'm going to appreciate the time I have to still be his mommy.

Poor guy was feeling so sick. He had a high fever for 3 days, came home from school, was sick to his stomach and had a bad cough. Luckily it wasn't strep and he just had a cough so we just did over the counter drugs until he was all better. He wasn't happy when I took this picture and told me not to put it on my blog because that's "embarrassing". So don't mention you saw this...I have to get a picture a day on this year and it's HARD.

Yum....Ramen
After dinner, bath and jammies she found Tayson's bowl of untouched Ramen and went to town. She ate almost the whole thing. It was hilarious.

Brighton
I forgot how much I LOVE skiing. Due to several winters of either being prego or having an infant at home (8 to be exact) I have only skied twice in the last 8 years. Both times I was prego (with Tayson and Sophie) so I had to take it easy. I skied a lot in college and love the mountains. Timmy talked me into going to skiing and got me a free pass and I really needed a day off...so I borrowed all of Mark's ski clothes (thank goodness the pants fit...I had to suck it in to button them - that guy is skinny) and wore a pair of my mom's boots and Mark's old skis. The whole day cost me $13 for grilled cheese, fries and hot chocolate.
The day was adventurous. My mom and dad, Timmy, David and Steve all came. It was a little disturbing to get my trash kicked by two 65+ year olds. But seriously my mom and dad can tear it up on the mountain. My mom never stopped - she has more energy than anyone I've ever met. The second she got to the bottom she was on the chairlift ready to go. She was usually on the lift before I was even at the bottom. Lucky for me my dad was willing to keep me safe and knew which runs I should take and he never left me alone. We skied hard all day and I was soooo tired by the end of the day (it didn't help that I had been up since 5:20 am and taught spin in the morning either). I did a few blacks and double blacks (I wouldn't say I made it look good, but I did it). Everyone I was with knew Brighton a lot better than I did so I just followed them around and had a blast. They would say things like "let's hit Ziggy" and everyone but me knew what that meant. I think it was better that I was going in without knowing since it didn't give me a chance to talk myself out of the hard runs. We would go down the hill 3-4 times then move to another lift and take that one a few times then move on again. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go again.

I had just gotten up when Steve went down on the hill. This was a double black and it was hilarious. I pretty much laughed and squealed the whole way down. My dad said he could hear me the whole time from the cat track on the other side. Ha!

Piggie Tails
Look at my sweet baby in her piggies. She is too cute. I love her double chin and her big huge front teeth and of course her curls. Yesterday Todd asked me what color her eyes are and as I look at this picture I have no idea. They are blue/green/gray I guess. Oh how I love my Sophie bug!
