They will kill me for this one day.

One day my girls will be very upset that I posted embarrassing photos of them on the internet.
We had been out one night and K fell asleep in the car, but woke up when we brought her inside and she said she was hungry. I went upstairs with tay and after 10 minutes noticed how quiet things were downstairs, "she must be doing something naughty", I thought. And I found her asleep at the table, sandwich half eaten.




I didn't take a single photo of our thanksgiving (I did bust out the video camera though). We have been hating life without a kitchen and were very grateful that ryan's brother, Jason, invited us down to their timeshare in Newport for 3 nights. We had a great yummy thanksgiving dinner, paper-plate style (I know I still can't believe Cathy was ok with that :) ). We loved swimming in the pools, going to see 'tangled' and going to the beach in great california weather...........hahaha Utah. The pic below is the only photo I took that weekend. This is my favorite thing about Tayvlee, she has the chubbist legs ever, I love her little saddlebags. Chubby babies are the best.


We are still dealing with the leak aftermath, removing damage and hopefully rebuilding soon, might have to clear out the neigbors house first to get a mold-clearance-certificate.

I am back to work 2 weeks now and feeling so out of shape, I am sore after every class and every class seems to beat me up. I was in better shape at 37 weeks pregnant than I am now. I'll get back there eventually.

For some reason both times I had a baby, I completely lose my rear-end afterwards. Now I am totally sef-concious, especially in my workout clothes. I don't even look like I should be teaching the class, I look so un-athletic. Maybe I can stuff, they make that stuff, right? LOL And believe me this mama can eat, but I seem to just keep losing weight,ugh! I need some major muscle growth.
I decided to not let this whole kitchen thing stress me out, so I am grateful to not have to think of what to cook for dinner (just where to go out to eat) and grateful not to have to cook any meals, and grateful not to have to do dishes (using paper goods) and not having to mop any kitchen floors. See this isn't so bad, is it.




Ryan just started school, so he is busy every night with homework. He is getting his MBA at Califorina Lutheran University (CLU). It is a 2-year program. Here's to being a single parent at nights! But ryan is great at letting me sleep in on the weekends and he gets up with the girls, so he is a single parent in the mornings. Thanks babe!

Oh Smashley, what a journey you get to experience right now. Just make sure you write down how you're feeling or what you are doing to make it through so when the times are good or even bad again you can remember what helped you and know that you will pull through eventually. I'm so excited for Ryan, it will be really hard and you'll be missing him but know that this is a great time to be closer to your kids. Just be sure to take some time to do stuff together as a couple. Splurge on a babysitter so you don't loose focus on your relationship with your hubby...this is the most important time to be doing it because it can help the two of you to become closer even though you're living in different worlds. I just love your girls and I can't wait to see them in just a few weeks. I miss you so much and hope one day to live closer.

Speaking of rear ends, can I share some of mine with you? I got plenty to go around. Ha!
