Seperation Anxiety (me, not the kids!)

For the first time I have left my kids for 2 nights at Grandma Heathers. It was way harder than I thought it would be. Why? They love grandma Heather & Ella & Hadlee are there to play with, papa gets in the hot tube with them AND Jared is there with them! So why am I losing sleep? I miss them so much. When said my goodbyes I cried and Tater said, "mommy, breath, just relax." She is so silly. She has to have everyone "roll up the windows" (Down) when we leave. Wyler waved and went to play with Kate. They are perfectly fine...but I'm not. I talked to Tatum before she went to bed tonight and she sang "I miss mommy! I miss mommy!". She was happy so that helped me but made me sad to be all alone tonight. I can't wait to see them tomorrow night. I had so many things I was going to do while I was all alone like clean my room, organize the basement, mow the lawn. Did I do It? Nope. I read Stephanie Meyer's The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner and watched When In Rome. Hopefully tomorrow I'll stop being lazy and get to work! But thanks Heather, Kate & Amanda for helping Jared entertain the kids. I know they had fun and didn't miss me as much as they miss them when they come home. Do you ever think I'll enjoy my alone time? Maybe next time.

Rain/Cabin/Princesses

This weekend was full of Rain! We went to the cabin with Elisa & my parents and all it did was rain. :( No prowler rides, no swings, no sandbox. But good movies and cabin toys! And thanks to Miriam for the fun brownie cupcakes! I also took Tater, Clair, Ali & Miriam to a Princess Party! (a fundraiser for the high school drill team) Tatum was so excited! Elisa brought Miriam's old Galinda Halloween costume and as soon as tater saw it she had to put it on! Then she and Bubba Q played prince & princess. They dance & kissed! Tatum was even rescued by the superhero...which ended in a disaster! Tatum climbed up 2 stair and called out for Prince Charming to save her, when he came to her rescue she jumped into his arms and they both came crashing down! Sorry Bubs! The Princess Party ended on a safer note. The girls each received a crown, wand, fuzzy pen and autograph book. Then they were announced as they entered the party. Pictures with the princesses & princes. fingernail painting & make up. The cutest Fairy Godmother granted them each a wish. Then the treats! I wish I would have gotten a picture of the treats because they were so cute! Cupcakes, eclairs, chocolate, candy rings and yummy cake! The punch fountain had lemon & strawberry slices. We spent most of the time eating. The princesses played games with the girls but my princesses were content with eating. The decorations were so cute, balloon arches, princess cardboard cut-outs and a bubble machine. The drill team did such a good job! I can't wait for next year!! (the pictures are not the greatest, I had to use my phone because my camera battery was dead)

What we've been up to!

Ya ya, I know! I'm always plaing catch up! So here's what we've been up to the past couple of months!


The Carbon Dance Classic was awesome! Took home 15 1st places & 2 2nds! The girls had a blast! Recital went well thanks to all thoes who helped,here and in Hawii! Couldn't have done it without you!

Tater pierced her ears! She cried but did really good when she got a sucker and a toy princess.

We visited little Soren! He is such a big cutie! I love when bub puts soren's hand in his hair. Cute litte brothers. Went to the Zoo! Tater loves the " Silly Snakes" (ew!) We went last Sept to see the babies and the baby elephant doesn't look like he's any bigger. This is the Train Ride. Had lunch at TGIF's with Mark. We had a good Memorial weekend, with all the 2nd couins. Celebrated Grandma Rass's b-day. She had Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake cause I bought:). She wouldn't allow pics, so sorry Elisa. Now we're just playing in the pool and relaxing till summer dance stars next week!
