Fashion

I used to stress over Winni's clothes. I wanted to make sure she matched, looked cute, all that stuff. However, once she learned how to dress herself, it was all over!! I've got to pick my battles, and often times this one just isn't worth it. So, when I found this today....



I decided to just let it happen, as long as we stayed home!! :)

La Quinta is spanish for "WHAT THE!?!?!"

Yesterday we ventured far....all the way to 7200 S to the local LaQuinta! Walter had some rewards points we needed to use, so we rented the suite! woo hoo!! It had the potential to be so nice, however the nicest part was that we were together! This suite fell a little short of our expectations. I mean, is it too much to ask for our full kitchen to come with more than 1 fork and 1 spoon? Or maybe a couch that didn't swallow you whole? Good thing we didn't go for the pampering, we did go for the swimming, and it was fantastic! A little cold, but the kids loved it. They even swam by themselves, with their life jackets on, without clinging to Walter for dear life! I, on the other hand, stayed on deck with Grady and a bowl in hand ready for the next ralphing episode! (no, i'm not prego, I had some nasty 24 hour bug!) We had so much fun swimming. Afterwards we ordered Dominos and cheered for David on American Idol. We were so exhausted, since we have both been sick, so we went to bed at 9:30! We are such party animals. We slept so great that in the morning Walter let me know he "slept like a pimp!" I'm not quite sure what that means, and if it is a good thing, but he was happy! I just love all this time we are getting to spend with him. I mean, who wouldn't love this guy!!



Sorry, I was a little slow on the picture taking. Well, I guess I could also say "Your welcome" to the same thought!!

SLC HERE WE COME!!!

OK, I know we live in SLC and all, but this week we have decided to be tourists in SLC! We started our vacation a few blocks from home at Wheeler Farm! We had a lot of fun. We took a whole loaf of bread to feed the ducks, but, even though the bag o bread was empty when we left, I'm pretty sure the ducks didn't eat it all. They had a little help from my kids. They were break some off for the ducks, break some off for themselves, and so on. It was very cute. We loved the piggies too! Winni kept saying "oink oink." I realized poor middle child Trae doesn't know what the animals say. He only knows doggie says woof! I guess we need to spend more time together! Ahhh.....enjoy our slide show of the fun we had tonight.

I LOVE YOU

As Grady was sleeping, he sent me a sign...



I love you too Grady!!!

So you think you can DANCE!?!?

This morning at Dan and Steph's I found a jam session going on! It was so funny! I heard the music and went to see what the kids were up to. This is what I found...



Trae's guitar solo...



Winni & Kaden rockin guitar hero style!

Oh, sorry I forgot!!

Do you ever find yourself, around 11 AM, wondering why you couldn't have just skipped this day? Or why you weren't prepared mentally for this? After a wonderful night of kids taking turns waking up, for the 2nd night in a row, I should have expected this. However, at this point, I don't exactly remember everything that I forgot. hahahaha The other day at the store I was so proud of myself for remembering to buy kids soap, then I even remembered to bring it with me up to Logan! I went to use it on the kids this morning and as I put it in Winni's hair something seemed wrong....no bubbles! It was lotion. So I asked Kaden to grab the bottle up above me. I went to use it....conditioner! OK grab the little bottle that is left....body wash! Finally, we found a sample of shampoo! Then, it was my turn to shower. So, I went to gather my things so I could get dressed in the bathroom and....oooops!! I forgot to pack myself pants! And, I forgot to pack Sunday clothes for the kids. I got me a skirt, but no shoes. ugh! I'll look so cute with my tan skirt and gray NIKE shox! So, as I'm enjoying Dan & Steph's fantastic shower I realized...um, I forgot to get a towel! Luckily, Steph had some towels hanging in the bathroom. Ya know, the ones you have more as a compliment to the bathroom rather than to be used. Well, I used it! (sorry Steph) So, I get dressed and decided to borrow some pants. Just for fun I looked at Stephs pants. Well, we know I'm not a size 8 nor am I 5' nothin!! So, I opted for Dan's pants. Sadly (not that you are fat, Dan, but...ya know) they fit. Well, around the waist. They are still a little short! hahahaha Anyway...I can only hope and pray that my kids take a good nap today so that I can atleast fall asleep and pretend to start the day again.

Proud Mommy Moment

After one of our many visits to the potty today Winni came out quite pleased with herself. She came to me to report "Mommy, I pooped a dinosaur!"
