Check THIS out.

Today is shaping up to be a pretty good day! I am at my computer looking out the window at THIS:
Clear blue skies, majestic white-peaked mountains
(and as an added bonus, 4 of my neighbors backyards!)

It's a beautiful and dare I say warm day (that's relative, of course), and my sister and I might even head over to the mall with our youngsters in celebration. It all depends on how much I can get done in the next couple of hours, thanks to THIS:

Don't get me wrong, I love her to death and she's cute as a bug, but she's at that stage where she's only happy in my arms or under my feet . Here she is at the bottom of the stairs with her crocodile tears because I had to run and get my camera out of my purse for 2 seconds and I chose not to take her with. Girls sure know how to whip up the tears in a hurry, sheesh.

I've successfully sent THESE off to school:
Here are the boys a couple of weeks ago in Wayne County Utah, doing some
field research with their dad for Tyler's upcoming county project at school. They are such good boys and I just love it when they get along, which fortunately is most of the time.

Thank goodness for THIS:
Here's Hannah "helping" me at a Pretty Petal boutique last Saturday in Sandy. Hannah has been such a sweetheart lately. She's becoming so capable and caring, and she's almost always happy and enthusiastic about whatever we're doing. I will miss her companionship when I'm not the center of her universe anymore. Why do they have to grow up? I'm loving this stage!

And on the very rare occasion, thank goodness for THIS...

Last week I discovered Rachel sprawled out on the floor watching television. Her normal attention span for T.V. is about 5 seconds and that's with me holding her, so imagine my surprise!

I probably should be doing THIS...
There's even a sink-ful to replace 'em!

Or THIS...

Why does it never end?

Or even THIS...

Believe it or not I am actually developing a relationship with my
elliptical machine of all things.
The love may even outweigh the hate at this stage (did I just type that?)


Instead I blog.
Because I feel like it.
For once.

I'm so glad you're posting again!! yay! My favorite picture was of the lonely elliptical. Mine is lonely too--I just don't feel like it AND I think the arms would beat the bologna (though I don't eat it) out of my rather large belly if I tried (maybe I will try, I wonder if I'd fit. . . )

But, I too, love the elliptical--just wish the toddlers would let me do it for Pete's sake and not try to climb on mid-session!

Hope you guys are doing well--it is a lovely spring-like day--ENJOY!

My elliptical is also very lonely. I can think of a million things I would do before that!! Although i like it better that a treadmill. I am glad you are having a warm day. Hope you make it out today!! The jobs will not go anywhere while you're gone.
Love ya,
Dawn

It just may be a Stace and Tiff weekend. I can't get anyone to reply back to the email I sent. There all fools anyway. (JK) I am so excited for April!

Why are your kids so cute? We need to play...with the weather warm we should go to the zoo!

Suzanne Lancaster said...

Thanks for going to the mall with me - it was just what we BOTH needed. Anyway, ellipticals are for SISSIES :)

Jensons said...

That is not true.....I don't think you are a sissy for using your elliptical. Good job, you can always come to me for positive reinforcement, mainly because I feel the need to defend m elliptical.
