Skating...

The girls and I started skating once a week again...  

That is, until St. Patties Day.

I was messing around and didn't really fall, but kind of ended up on the ground.

I was just fine, until my girls told me that all my fat had bounced!  

Bounced?  Well, that's great for the ego.  

We haven't been back since.

Mostly because I've really been training for the Ogden Half Marathon, and need to stay healthy, and in tip top shape.  But partly, because even though, the girls didn't mean to hurt my feelings, and even though I have good self esteem, it still hurt a little knowing that who ever might have seen me fall, were probably laughing, and thinking the very same thing.

And also, that I hadn't fallen on skates for like 25 years!!!  And I consider myself kind of a Pro.

But, in my defense....c'mon, they ARE shoes with very slick wheels on the bottom of them.

Yes.   After the Marathon this weekend, I WILL take my girls skating again.

I don't really care what anyone else thinks!

As long as my girls think I'm cool.  And as long as we are having fun together.  

That's all that really matters. :) 

Valentines 2016

This year, we shared our Valentines Day with the whole family!

Chris bought me the prettiest Roses, and then we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner.

Afterward, we spent a little time playing at the Mall.

I think the girls had a fabulous time!

I love my little family :) 

East Canyon winter trip 2016

We've been taking a Winter Trip to East Canyon for the past few years.

I'm just going to post a few pictures to highlight the trip.  

I am still trying catch up on my blog.  

So I'll make this post Brief!

I had to go without Chris, because he just didn't want to go.

I was kind of bummed about it to begin with, because I always have way more fun when he's around, but decided I would take the girls by myself, so we didn't just sit home.

On the last night, Elle got sick and threw up.  She was in the Condo alone mostly the whole day. 

No one wanted to come over, because no one else wanted to get sick.  

So we were basically quarantined, and I felt even more alone, and had a sick kid, who I had no medicine for.  So I decided to pack up and go home that night, because I wanted help with Elle. 

That was kind of the last lonely straw for me.

But the trip was really mostly a lot of fun.  

I played a million games of hang man with my siblings, ate yummy food, and we played in the snow, and did a lot of sledding most of the time.  

It was a pretty good trip overall.

Just missed my best friend :)
