Catching up!

Have you ignored something for so long that it hardly feels worth your attention now? Like the unorganized office or the crap filled spare room? Well I have that feeling towards certain rooms in my house and blogging. I am so far behind I don't have the energy to catch up. However, after running 18miles yesterday, my legs are telling me to not move today. So with that, I will play catch up... Don't worry you will get the short version!!!

*After hours upon hours editing, I am finally finished. Don't worry Brooke, you are SO blog worthy I just need to play catch up on that blog too!!





*One last hoorah before the kids started school! We went bowling and it was so fun. I even tried warming up by bowling on the Wii so I would be sure to win but that didn't help at all!!





* My MIL had a timeshare in Scottsdale that we were able to stay at. It was so fun. It was like 2 mini condos and the kids thought it was cool they had their own little apt! They had a ceramics painting thingy that we did and then we went swimming!





* The kids started school! No your not hearing things the angels are singing!!jk James is in 2nd grade, Anna is in 1st, and Emmy is in pre-school 2x a week. I haven't had time to fully enjoy my 'me' time yet but hopefully next week I will take FULL advantage of it!





*Emmy and I were in a commercial. I will try and download it later. It was just a public service announcement about texting while driving. It was fun and funny!!





* SYTYCD! A bunch of girls and I had so much fun watching So You Think You Can Dance every week. Jared made us desserts for our get-togethers but this one was my favorite! For the finale we decided to dress up and go all out. When Regan told us her mom had old dance costumes we were so excited. I think after she kept pulling out hideous outfit after hideous outfit some of the girls didn't want to participate. I personally thought they were awesome!! I was proud that everyone wore something. While we were getting dressed Emmy even came out in a little outfit. We decided we needed to go to dinner and went to Native NewYorker all dressed up. Im beginning to think now it might have been boarder line child abuse.




*My MIL had a surprise 60th birthday party at my house. I made a slide show that I thought was pretty cool. If I do say so myself! There were cute decorations and SO MUCH dessert we were in heaven.


* Oh, the weather!! I LOVE rain. I told the kids to run outside and play. I love the overcast days, the smell, the sound, EVERYTHING.




* Emmy fell and hurt her elbow. She has done something like this in the past so I wanted to make sure she was okay. Anyone who knows Emmy knows she is a tough cookie. She rarely cries when she gets hurt so it was the saddest thing when she was really crying out in pain. My favorite part however has been... "mom, my want to snuggle you!" I almost cried. Normally I have to beg her to snuggle me. About a month ago when I was taking her to get her well baby shots, she was so excited. She marched around the house singing "my going to the dr. Mine gonna get shots" I didn't have the heart to tell her that shots hurt. She was excited up until the needle went in her arm. "My no like that"


So today when I said we were going to go to the dr. for her arm, she was hysterical. I kept telling her she wasn't getting a shot but that didn't matter. It was not fun.Poor girl hasn't slept well and fell asleep while I was filling out paper work.





* We have couple new additions to our family. We have had Mable for a while now but I never formally introduced her to the blogging world. We wanted to get a friend for Diesel. And we now have a tortoise named Mr. T! Thank you Kristen and Scott! We don't know how they will all get along but hopefully they can all be friends.

So there you have it... Im all caught up!!
