new look...

i've wanted to do this for so long!!! i finally had the guts, although i have to admit i almost chickened-out more than once before hitting that "confirm" button. i had a few contenders for possible templates... pyzam is awesome! i do get to re-do my sidebar (i.e. pics and slide shows, countdowns, etc.) but those were becoming old, so i guess a little house-cleaning is in order...
don't be offended if your name is missing from the "awesome moms" link list... i still have some remaining "placenta effect" going on... i don't know if i have everyone!
so i forgot three major fun things from wednesday and thursday...
wednesday, brooke and i dragged our bums out of bed at 6 am to try an early morning run... we ran... i don't even know how much, a lot. friday's run did not happen, peyton was eating. i want to get into my track days shape, when i was more flexible and had some endurance...
that night, i invited myself (and my entourage) to tag along with the other pitcher entourage, and went to the "texas roadhouse" for the first time... (us the first time, not them.) can i say that i have been dreaming about cherry limeade and pulled pork ever since? i let myself have the best of everything... loaded baked potato, steak, bbq chicken, that cherry limeade... yum! and even apple pie, not just any apple pie, mind you. apple pie loaded with carmel and vanilla ice cream... i did run a lot that morning.... i deserved it!
thursday, kaitlyn babysat, or "kidsat", as lynn would say... while i had my meeting. we don't have babysitters too often, we don't want to wear out our welcome with our favs (love you katie/kelly!). so i put off telling the girls until the night before (we go through the run-down of the next day before family prayer...) and the girls couldn't wait, they were so excited... "when is katie coming? when will katie get here?" all before breakfast.... they are still going on about how much fun they had...
peyton is rolling from her tummy to her back, so tummy time is growing shorter, as she dictates when she is off her tummy now!
lynn and ash went on a delivery with mer today. they went to layton to deliver a tumble-track. they had so much fun. he took them to arctic circle after for ice cream. lynn was saying something very intelligent and mer called her a "smarty-pants". she quickly corrected him:
"i am a "smarty-skirt", dad. i am a girl. boys are "smarty-pants", boys wear pants.
ash is feeling the smartness too.
they drove past a cemetery and ash asked if that was where grandma wallace was buried. mer answered: "no, grandma is in roy."
ash: "no dad, grandma is in heaven."
look soon for a second blog by me... dedicated to hobbies... those templates were too cute! it got my mind a-thinkin'...
