Week 2... Jan 9th thru the 16th..

Highlights from Week 2....
This week I had to take Maddie to the "girl" Dr.... she has been having a few issues, I know this is not something that should be memorable or a highlight, but it was one of the funniest experiences.... so I must share a little.... If you dare read on.....
Lets just say she was a little nervous, so she was in a wacky mood to say the least! We are sitting in the waiting area waiting for her turn, and she is looking all around checking the scene out like a 5 year old really. She then turns to me and says "this is just like the dentist office only for crotches!" Mind you she is not talking quietly, I start to laugh and she keeps going.. "they should be called crotchist don't you think".... Why yes that would be a great name I believe...
So then we go back into the room, let me actually back the story up 16 years to when I was pregnant with Maddie and Tom would come to my appointments with me, he would make wise cracks, sick jokes, play with the equipment, and we would laugh and laugh thinking we were just in a room by ourselves. Well the following year when I was pregnant with Hayden, Tom would stay home with Maddie so I would go alone, it was at that time that I realized the walls did not go up all the way to the ceiling they had a little opening and you could hear everything that was being said... I am sure some people sat there listening to Tom... Maddie must have soaked it all in.
so now here we are with Maddie acting the same almost worse! She see's a little model and says "it is the dentist only instead of a teeth mold they have vag's" and she is making little hand gestures with her hands like the teeth mold and then I don't know what kind of action she was doing for "Vag's" So then she see's the stirrups and says "what are these do you put your feet up in those"? Why yes you do, she freaks out, then she asks about the lamp and I move it towards her, she starts to freak out yelling "you have crotch hands" I tell her the Dr. wears gloves... duh, she then does this mime action of a Dr checking someone out then not being able to see well enough grabbing the light with no pause to take off gloves or what have you. I get a little sick thinking maybe she is right, and start rubbing my hands on my pants a little grossed out!.. When the Dr. came in he was quite smiley and I wonder how long they were listening to us. I hope they got as big of laugh out of her as I did. She thinks you must be some kind of perv to have that job by the way... It really was a funny day.
Other then that she had a Drill team competition that I spent my Saturday at It's a lot harder to sit through those things when you don't have any teams to get ready or running around to do.... I appreciate all my students parents all the more now.
Hayden had scouts 3 Saturday's in a row and is really headed towards his Eagle.
We also celebrated Zarley and Annie's birthday this week. I will need to get better at taking pictures.

Oh What a difference Ade makes!

Week one of 2011 Highlights.....
I know I totally look creepy in this picture, but hey it's ADE!!! I love him he is my favorite SYTYCD Star, I was totally star struck meeting him as well! We went to a dance convention this Weekend, it was amazing and Ade did not disappoint! His dance was the best too...


Here are all the girls getting ready to dance...
Another bad blurry picture... but hey it has Ade in it! I'll post better pictures when others send them to me. By the way if you think that giant hand in front of my face is the palm of Ade's hand no you're mistaken that is my freakishly enormous hand!
The gang with Kent he too is an amazing dancer but was not the nicest guy!
Dominic.... another great!

Another highlight of this week....
............... I ventured down stairs which I do not do often.... and this is why (however I think this tops the worst of all of Maddie's bad room days!) This is how I found Maddie's bedroom!
We found Christmas, clean clothes that should have been put away. Sleep over left overs...
a completely unmade bed....
The best part is that she herself could not stand her room so she has spread like a disease out into the family room area.... Notice her bedding on the couch,
Dishes, The bag of cereal I had wondered how the kids had eaten in one day.. her homework and her dance clothes!
Usually I would get extremely out of control mad at this situation, but I stood there and stared for a good 5 minutes soaking it all in walked over rode the bike (which is why I had gone down there in the first place) with tears running down my face... why.... because I have such a pig for a child,No, or because this was going to take the whole day to clean up No I cried because in just under 3 years I will no longer have this child in my home to make these messes to clean up after or to yell at to clean up, and it was 5 minutes ago I promise that she looked like this....(below) asking me to just give her a spanking because she would rather have that then have to clean her room!

Maddie 5 minutes ago..


All I ever wanted to be was a mom and it is just going by way too fast!
So In 2011 I am going to try and slow down and savor every little moment because these are the best years of my life with my children!

New Years Goals

I want to write down my resolutions so I am slightly more accountable to complete them.... I want to keep my list short because baby steps right!
#1 Be organized and stick to a schedule... This is the hugest goal for me ever anyway so....(and could encompass everything... from exercise to reading my scriptures or doing more with my kids)
#2 Be more Positive!!
#3 Do 52 posts in my blog... a weekly journal of our year!

Wish me luck!
