bath time

Gave the girls a bath last night

I got Sophia all dried off

and lotioned up

then I dressed in her warm snug jammies

and turned for a second(okay maybe a minute to two) to help Anna with a school project

when I heard a scream from Lilly...who was still in the bath

AND.....

RATS!

the game

A HUGE thanks to my dear friend for her:

Last minute-totally unexpected-amazing seats-to the Jazz game Monday night.

How did you know I was on a ledge and needed to get out of the house?

You REALLY are a good friend to have sacrificed so much for me



I Love benefiting from your sacrifices-(and I have on more than one occasion!)

God bless you for your kindness!



Hey and who knew I would run into my mom working her Part-time gig at the Papa John's kiosk- (That's a whole other blog entry-Oh wait, you can actually see what her funds go towards by returning to my blog entry from Saturday May 10, 2008 Mother's Day Blog entry. It helps to pay her dues)

The Race

We did it!

We finished the Race for the Cure

We started last and finished last (literally)

We missed out on all the "Schwaag"

But still had a fabulous time

And I cried my eyes out (like I always do) during the parade of Survivors

Special Shout out to Jake and Kerry who planned it and to Michelle's family who we ran/walked with- We love you guys!!!!!

today

I was in a much needed outing today.

For some odd reason I was literally going out of my mind and thought "If I don't get out and go somewhere soon there will be serious repercussions!"

So I did what any sane stay-a-home mom would do

I went to Target and bought a box of these:
Then I took her on over the the VF Factory outlets

ummm because I had never been there before and was dying to know what was so great inside that managed to keep that hole afloat!

AAAAAND?

well let's just say I could have (should have) stayed at home today, and had myself an ice cold Tab wearing a tube top and short shorts, eating pork rhines, watching re-runs of the Jeffersons and had a better time not to mention come out $94 dollars ahead (don't even ask!)

Ahhhh a day in the life of a stay-at-home mom - Niiiice!!

I was in the computer room this morning and in the distance I heard the fridge door open and then the sound of clinking bottles...

Lill~
What are you doing?

"I'm just cleaning up mommy."

And she did just that and then put everything back in it's proper place
(whatever that means)

best ever

Might be the best story I've read in a long while!

Tears I tell ya! Tears!

Easter Sunday

Best Easter Sunday EVER!

Why?

Because we got to go to the Sunday Morning Session of Conference

And sit in awe of the enormity of the conference center

And sit in wicked good seats (Thanks Elder Cook-Ann is friends with him-not name droppin, just sayin)

And feel the spirit so strong as the choir sang the Hallelujah Chorus

And stand as the Prophet entered the room

And cry when we saw that picture of the two brothers on the jumbo tron who got called on missions at the same time (what a great talk)

And watch the many, many men on the stand wipe their eyes as they heard the story too

And it was the first time Jim and the girls had ever been to a Session of Conference

And the Easter Bunny was secondary (we didn't even look for eggs until 4:30)

)
But my favorite: we were sitting three rows in front of Sheri Dew
Which makes me like her even more
because she was sitting among the masses-with the mere commoners if you will and not in one of those fancy shmancy seats reserved for the "Special Mormons"

Best Easter Sunday Ever!
