Stuck in a RUT!!

So, if you had not noticed, I have not been on the internet in a while. There is not a good reason for it like I am stuck in the bahamas without a computer, I have just not had a computer! With that being said, I feel like I have missed telling you about all the nothings that go on around here. Unfortunately, there is not much to report, unlike those of you that are trigger happy with your cameras, taking way tooo many pictures of your kiddos (which I love every one of them) I do not have any to post. I will in 2 weeks because Emma's birthday is coming up. She will be 6 this coming Saturday, but her party is the following weekend due to the TOADSUCK conflict. you read it correctly, big conflict of interest in Conway! Not many come to a party the first weekend in May due to Toadsuck Daze, the annual town celebration. Don't ask about the name, just google it!

I am going to get better about posting entries again, I promise. With tons of pictures, and funny stories, and all of that stuff you like to see on someone else's blog page!!

So, what is going on in your life? Random thoughts!

I have taken a hiatus from the computer for the past two weeks, and now I am gonna play catch up! Unfortunately, not much to tell about! Today was the MS walk in Little Rock, we had a team of 20 signed up to walk with us, only 15 showed up. It was a fun time, the only downer for the day is that Carol was not able to go with us! I called her this morning, and she said she was sick and was not going to go walk. I was so sad, but we still had so much fun! And honestly, they gave free candy bars away!!!! HELLLLLOOOOO! Can you say Great Day? Cara came up to help with the girls, and they had a blast. She took them to the Dollar Tree, and so they came home with some great outside toys!! Emma picked chalks,and Abbi FINALLY picked bubbles.

We went to momma and daddies last weekend to help them move. We took a break and went fishing out at the ponds, and of course the biggest catch of the day went to ME!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I could hardly believe that I had a fish on the line. Not only was it the biggest, but the first of the day, weighing in at 5 pounds! Yep, a big ol sucker!! I am still not over that. I have not caught a fish since I was a little girl, and so the fact that I had no idea why my bobber was under water, cracked my daddy up! I fought that bad boy for about 10minutes, and when I got it up, I saw the massiveness of the fish.

Here are some random pictures of our day with Cara!!

Silly Faces were the main focus of our pictures today!! Emma took most of these! I know my mouth looks horrid! I was pooking my lips out!

Pictures from snow school!!

this is my favorite position...on my booty!
Here I am up, but not really for long.
I am still up. I got better as the day went on!
Here is Emma, going down the little slope.
Emma is getting better at skiing too.
Here is Maddie and Emma skiing together!


All in all a great day. Sore, bruised, and beaten up, but still standing!!

Spring Break

So, it is that time of the year. Flowers are blooming, birds are singing, grass is growing, and we are skiing. Well, I actually took a snowboarding class today. Yeah, you heard me, and I am now hooked! The guy, Jared, said I did an excellent job. But to be honest, I just wanted to look cool, so that is why I chose to snowboard. What are the odds that we would come skiing? Slim to none, until Misty called and asked if we wanted to tag with them. So here we are in Pagosa Springs Colorado. Now here is the crazy thing. In our little class of 10 today, only one girl was NOT from Arkansas. CRAZY. One girl was even from Conway......CRAZY!! I was so shocked, but then again, we never do stuff like this, so it was out of my realm of thinking that there would be more people who drove this far for skiing!So, this is the best one of me comin down the mountain. My instructor is watching on in dismay, cause you are supposed to keep your arms to your side. Oh well, it was so fun. The kiddos went to ski school too, but I did not see them much. Chase had skied before, so he went out on his own, no class necessary . The plan tonight is to put the kids to bed, and hit the hot tub. I so love this Colorado lifestyle, but I must say, I miss being at home.

Come on Spring!

Where is the Spring weather that we all love. This Arkansas crazy weather is about to drive me up the wall. I am ready for shorts and tank tops, but instead we are wearing fleece and long pants. In a couple of weeks we are headed to Colorado for spring break. I am excited about the trip because I have never been, but that is about it. I hate the cold, and especially the cold and snowy. The best part of it, is that Chase LOVES to ski. This is his ideal trip to take. My favorite trips are to the beach in the summertime. It is a good thing that this year we will both get to go to our favorite vacation spots. I am hoping to have fabulous pictures from our vacation in the snow. And hopefully soon we will have the fabulous warm weather here at home, that I miss so much on these cold days.

Okay Traci, you win!

So I have this friend, and she is great(a little bossy) but I love her. Tonight she told me that I need to update my blog. So here it is just for her.

There is nothing really going on to blog about. I am subbing tomorrow at the preschool where Emma went, and Abbi will go next year. Yay money! I have started lifting with my bossy friend Traci, 2 nights a week. Which honestly has been so much fun. We laugh so hard, that you could hardly call it working out.

It is funny how friendships grow and blossom in adulthood. Traci and I have known each other for 15 years, but were not really good friends until the last year or two. I was nice to her(and those of you who knew me in my younger days need to know that I have grown up to be considerably nicer, than I was in college)but we never hung out. She is so stinkin funny. I mean I literally laugh so hard with her, that I am worried about bladder issues. We all have those friends, you know the quiet ones, that when you really get to know them, they take on a whole new personality. Traci has been a motivation to me to do these half marathons, and that is a huge undertaking with me. I am quite the procrastinator/ slacker. I would never have run Austin if it were not for her, and I surely would never run another one, if she were not there cheering me on. And trust me, she will probably always be at the finish line cheering me on.
So here is to friends that you can count on to get you into life changing experiences, and then make you pee your pants reliving the highlights of it!! Love you Traci
