SPRING!!!!

SUCK, my camera is still broken!!!

Anyhoo. We took the kids snowboarding yesterday and oh what a beautiful day. Mom set up the grill in the parking lot and we had a fabulous end of the season BBQ. Ribs, hamburger, sausages, 7-layer dip, brownies and plenty of other stuff to slather on my hip and thighs but oh so good.

So proud of my kids...went up the lift and boarded the whole way down. A mother's patience is truly tried when teaching your kids something new. Brody was first and demanded that he was going to jump the rails. If I tried to steer him another way he would just sit down and become limp till we headed back towards the jumps. GGRRRRR. Thank you Rob for catching up at just the right moment. Uncle Rob swoops in and saves the day. Brody was willing to do anything Uncle Rob did since Uncle Rob can snowboard "so good".
Payton then insisted that she wanted to go up the lift. By now I was very hesitant but figured I could always carry her down if needed. She was EXCELLENT. She raced down the hill faster than I thought she would be able to handle but did it with a big grin on her face and some squeals along the way. I am so proud of her.

What a beautiful day, we got some much needed sun, relaxation and family time. We went to Mom's house and watched a movie (although everyone but Curtis and I fell asleep). Just as we were getting ready to go one of Mom's dogs bit Payton on the arm. Payton is such a trooper, she cried a little and then just kept saying that Kosmo made a "bad choice" and that he needed a time out. Took her to the Instacare and it is infected but she insists on not crying. The only thing that made her cry was the anticipation of what the Dr was going to do. She is so brave. It's amazing how resilient kids are and how simple they think of things.

CRAZY!!!

I know, I know....I am such a slacker.  Things have been beyond hectic I'm not sure where to start.

The kids broke our camera so we are missing a lot of amazing photo ops.  They were playing with the camera and dropped it with the lens out and then decided to hide the camera so Mom wouldn't notice.  It's been at the shop for 5 weeks now and not sure when we will get it back but if they can't fix it then we get a new one.  Let's just hope for the new one so we can have our camera soon.

Curtis and I have been working like crazy.  We don't see each other pretty much at all 4-5 days out of the week.  I leave for work before he gets home and I crawl into bed as he is getting up for work.  So, needless to say we are missing each other terribly.

The kids are having a hard time with me working so much and Spring Fever is definetely making it worse.  They are tearing up the house and fighting like crazy.  Kids will be kids but Mom is losing her sanity.

We are all ready for the warm weather and some fun outdoors.  The other day we woke up to another snow storm and Brody started crying "Mom, I want the snow to be done.  Can't you make it stop?"  Poor kids.

Curtis and I are now on Facebook, so you can email or Wall-to-Wall us.  We sure would like to catch up with everyone.  LOVE YA
