As Days Go By.....

Lately I have felt that I have no idea what day it is in the week. My life lately has been pretty hectic needless to say. It kinda feels like riding on a roller coaster and never getting off. I looked at Hailee the other day and thought, when did she get so grown up! I remember 6 yrs ago when she was born and the constant smile that was on my face. Tracy and I longed to have a child for so long and then finally we were blessed:) And not with just one child but 3. How did we get so lucky?? The girls have me busy busy with dance, school, gymnastics and the list goes on. Why do I do this to myself? Hailee really loves gymnastics and excels at it all the time. This is her second year in competition, and she gets so excited to go to a meet. This year we get to travel to Boise, Pocatello, and Coeur D Alene, ID. She is in 1st grade and she rides the bus home pretty much everyday. I thought I could shield my children forever about all the crap that goes on out there in the world...but I'm afraid not everyone thinks like me. She came home telling me a boy taught her some bad words, and wanted to know what they meant. OH NO!!! NOT YET ALREADY! I thought those things happen maybe in the 3rd or 4Th grade. See how naive I am:) My girls keep me laughing all of the time with the silly and funny things they say. Afton our almost 2 yr old, is constantly telling me when she goes poop, but won't have anything to do with the potty! She says "poop mommy" I then say, "Let's be a big girl and go in the big potty" she say, "No mom, you mean!" I'm afraid it might be awhile till I get her out of diapers....I feel as I get older the days pass by faster and faster each year. I hope that I am not to busy in my life to count my blessings! I hope to not take one day for granted, especially while my children are young. They are not young forever....and eventually I'll be dealing with teenagers in about 5-6 more yrs! Then maybe I will want the days to go by fast!!!

Get A Way Trip

Me and the girls decided we wanted to get a way for the weekend, so we headed to SLC to visit family. Hailee was out of school on Friday, so we left Friday morning to go stay with my sister JoRae. We had so much FUN! On the way to SLC the drive was pretty scenic with all the the leaves changing. I LOVE fall weather! I did get tired of hearing the statements, "Are we in Utah yet?" or "Are we there yet." Good thing DVD players were invented or I might of had a nervous breakdown on the road:/ Anyway, JoRae lives in Herriman, and she was so kind to let us invade her house. I talked her into taking pictures of me and the girls, (Tracy couldn't make it) and she said yes. We went up Butterfield canyon and got some really good pics. Did I mention how talented she is! Thanks Jo!!!

Here are a few pictures she shot.

I love visiting my family. I miss them all of the time, so when I go to SLC we all get together and eat(Cheescake factory) and play games! We always have so much fun together. My girls always cry when they have to leave. I would love to live closer, but I highly doubt that will happen. Road trips are so much fun, even if you do have major lack of sleep!
