I love Volleyball!!

Last night I had sooo much fun! I played volleyball with the women in our stake. I love my stake when it comes to sports because the women are all pretty hardcore and serious about it. Other wards I have been in before havent been as into it. Anyways, we only had 4 people on our team so that made it even more fun. I dont mean to be cockey, but I was awesome last night! I feel like I play better now then I did in high school. I was everywhere on the court. The women we were playing against kept saying, " How did she do that?" and "Man, she has arms everywhere!" It was very fun. And with only 4 women on my team that made it a great workout as well. My body ached this morning. Thanks to my sweet hubby for holding down the fort while I had some me time!

Fun and Relaxing Weekend

Miranda and uncle caleb....she had so much fun!!

Brendan and Uncle Caleb..he was not scared at all!

Alyssa loved the snowmobiles. She is soo cute!

Check out the face! Miranda looks awesome!

Thats me in the blue coat about to speed off!

So this week was Miranda's 7th Birthday( Feb. 6th) and we were going to take her the Planetarium this past saturday. Codys parents have been trying to get us up to Logan to go snowmobiling for the past couple of weeks because of all the great snow they have up there. It has been a couple of years since there has been enough snow in logan to snowmobile. So we asked Miranda if she would rather go up to grandpas and snowmobile instead. She was surprisingly excited about the new idea. So we went up to logan and visited and rode the snowmobiles all day on saturday. The kids had a blast and so did I! I almost died when I went out on my own with codys brother. He is not married and kind of a daredevil. I tried to jump a hill and couldnt make it to the top and started to fall backwards on the machine. That was scary! I jumped off in time and grabbed the break before it could fall backwards. We did get stuck on the hill after. My body is really sore today from all the fun! Here are a few pics from this weekend!! Jacob didnt want to snowmobile because he was too addicted to the Wii!

Long Time No See!!

Hi everyone!! Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I think I felt a little dumb because I havent quite gotten the hang of blogging yet. April showed me how to do a few things. I will try to keep up more and update more frequently. So whats going on with me? Well, I have been getting out alot more lately, going out on dates with cody and out with just the girls. It is nice not having a baby constantly attached to me. Cameron is 18 months old now and that seems really weird to me. I have never gotten this far without being already pregnant with the next one. I love it! I am realizing day by day that he is most likely my last one. I am cherishing every moment with him. I have finally gotten my body back.. yay!! I have been going to the gym for about 6 months now, 6 days a week. I feel so good and I probably look better than I have in a long time. Anyways, not much else, I will post when something insane or interesting happens! I have ten kids at my house now....that is pretty insane!

Potty Training Success!!

So anyways, it has been my experience that boys are supposed to be harder to potty train then girls. At least that is what I have heard from other moms and I had the hardest time with my oldest. That is not the case with my almost 3 year old little man, Brendan. I started potty training him on Monday and he has pretty much mastered it. He hasnt had an accident since. I thought he would be my hardest on to train because he is soo stubborn. He had a couple of pee accidents right when I started but that was becuase he had never gone on the potty before. Once he went on the potty it has been ancient history. He is awesome! He goes on his own without me having to remind him. So I was waiting for him to have to go number two and thinking he will probably go in his underwear becuase that is how it always goes in the beginning. Last night at around 8pm he came running in to me and yelling," Mommy, I went poop in the potty!" He was soo excited and soo was I!! I was dreading having to clean out poopy underwear!! Right then and there I dropped what I was doing and took him to the store to pick out a toy and his own special underwear!! It has never been so easy for me! I think I deserve it after training 3 other kids before him!! Wish me luck that it all goes smoothly! I love having only one kid in diapers!!

My Wonderful Day Off!!

So yesterday was Labor day and my mom was here visiting. We decided we needed a break from the kids. Cody had been gone all weekend hanging out with his family and working on the farm in logan. So Cody was sweet enough to take the kids all day while my mom and I went to Bear Lake. It was sooo nice! The water was beautiful and the weather was perfect. It was probably in the upper 80's and there was a tiny breeze. So we played in the water and soaked up some sun, a little too much sun for me, and just relaxed all day! After we had enough of the lake we decided to get cleaned up at my moms new house and then we went to a movie. We saw Stardust. I loved it!! I recommend it to everyone! After that we got some icecream and headed home. So that was my day and I needed it! Thanks to my sweet hubby for holding down the fort!!

Still run down!!

So, my kids started school last week and I have been loving it!! But isnt it supposed to get easier for me just to have 3 little ones at home now? Apparently not!! I am still going crazy here at home. What do you do when your 2 year old is constantly screaming and chasing after you? He always wants something!! If it is not a snack, then it is a toy, or he doesnt want me to leave the room, or someone is bugging him, ect. Ahhhh!! Sometimes I just want to hide in my bedroom. But if I do that it is usually while my 1 year old is napping and then my two year old bangs on my door and kicks it and wakes the baby up. The good thing is that my 1 year old is completely weaned now and not so dependant and my 4 year old starts preschool next week. That will give me some more one on one time with my 2 year old and maybe he wont be such a terror if he gets more attention.

Rejuvinated!

Ahhhh! I feel rejuvinated! Today was the first day back to the gym for me for a long time and let me tell you....it felt soo good!! I did some cardio and then some weights. It felt good to get back in the swing of things. I didnt even get too tired doing the cardio. I thought my body would feel like it was going to die, but not so, it just feels better. We will see tomorrow if I am really sore. Hopefully this will become a new daily routine and I wont wimp out!
