Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Taylor is quite the little athlete. He is playing third base on his baseball team. Last week he caught a fly ball and tagged his base for a double play! It has been really busy with all the sports our boys are playing. We don't usually have them in more than one sport at a time. Nate is playing in a competition basketball league and both boys are playing flag football. It gives us something to do as a family and we really enjoy watching them play. They love it.


Snow Won't Get Us Down

My brother is so adorable. The snow came from no where... huge white flakes blowing like crazy. He said to Karli, "Let's go out and I'll push you on the swing!" It took some coaxing to get her out there but she did it. It was pretty cute. Later that day the sun was shining! This is spring in Utah.


Work Outs Killin' Me

Since I started getting up at 5:00 a.m. about three weeks ago I have hardly looked at the computer. A few friends and I started going to the rec center three days a week to work out. There are really good classes there that kick my butt every time. The only way I can get myself out of bed at that hour is that I know someone will be waiting for me. I've always felt guilty for never exercising...now that the guilt is gone I have a new problem. By 8:00 at night I am so tired that I cannot wait till I can go to sleep! Usually I would blog after I get my kids to bed but there is now way now! You are thinking, well just find time during the day. Since my cute hubby is now working from home he needs to be on the computer most of the time. After working at home for these last two weeks with the kids running around like a herd of elephants he is thinking about paying for an office space at the brokerage he works for. I'm going to try and catch up with all the time I've missed.

Tea for 4

Today was the kids' 2nd day off track. Today we had a fun tea party. Halee is frowning because I told her to put on a happy face. Everyday is opposite day for her! We made mini cupcakes and decorated them and ate tiny sandwiches and veggies. Kool-aid tea is the best! It was jolly good fun.

After seeing Enchanted the other day, I decided that when ever I feel like raising my voice at my kids instead I'm going to talk in a princess Giselle voice. So instead of saying, "Sit down Right Now!" I'll say in my best princess voice, "Darling...please sit down, I don't want you to get hurt." It's really fun and I think it annoys everyone, especially Trevor, which makes it even more fun.
