Tuesday, April 29, 2008

It's been awhile since I have blogged (sorry about that to all of those who check every day). I have some fun highlights:

1. Last Saturday was a beautiful day out. Preston and I went to the store and bought the bubble solution and played with our Big Bubble Wands. They were so fun to play with. Then we did a terrible job at washing our car - but it was something fun to do in the sunshine. We had a girl come to babysit Preston. It was the 3rd time we have ever had to pay for babysitting. She did a great job and had fun with Preston. We took Wesley to the Johnson wedding at the Plateau Club which was really nice. I had 2 pieces of cake because it was so good.

2. I haven't been blogging because I have been reading the book "The Glass Castle" every night. It was an amazing book and I highly recommend it. It will make you appreciate your life. On Sunday there was a talk given that talked about making the best decisions (not just good choice - but the best choice) - I am trying this week to make the best choices and not watching as much TV and spending time doing "best" things.

3. Sunday was absolutely crazy with my little ones. Tom had another Ward Conference so I was there by myself. Both Wesley and Preston were in the worst moods. As soon as one of them would calm down I would have another situation with the other one. Wesley is drooling and uncomfortable with his teeth coming in (which will hopefully happen soon). By the end of church I was grumpy myself and lost it a little bit with Tom after church. I came home and took a nap and woke up a little bit happier. I never really understood how moms feel like it is so hard to go to church sometimes - until I had 2 grumpy children and no husband at church.



4. Sunday night Tom came home holding a bag and said he caught a "Small" frog for Preston and wanted something to put it in. So we took my large vase on the table and filled it with leaves, branches and a rock. We took it outside so Tom could dump the frog in. Well - it was a HUGE frog that totally grossed me out. Tom put it on the dining room table and as I was laying in bed that night I got a creepy feeling thinking about that frog getting out or Lily getting it so I went downstairs and put it in the bathroom. "Sally" the frog spent 2 days at our house so we could show both grandmas our new pet. Today Tom and Preston took the frog back to see his family. Gross!!!!



Here is my drooling Wesley:



5. Yesterday I went to the doctor and got my custom orthodics to go in my shoes. Because I have been going to aerobics my plantar faciliitis is not healing - but I didn't want to admit this to the doctor. I am not sure what to do. I really can't stop aerobics but I want my feet to heel :(

6. Marc came into town on Sunday morning. He is home from college for a week and a half and then he goes to China for an internship for the summer. We are already having lots of fun with him.
