Sexy Boots!!!


Londynn loves the song Sexy Boots by U2, so when she put on my boots that's the first thing that came to my mind. This is the first time she's tried these babies on and I couldn't help but laugh. I told her I wanted to take her picture and I got all sorts of poses.

Here she thought I was taking her picture, so I caught her dancing. Sorry about the bad video my camera is on it's way out. booo

Of course this would only happen to me

Why does it seem you always run into someone you know when you're looking your worst? Okay so today it wasn't someone I know but probably worse. I have a bad habit of running my errands right after I get done at the gym. So if you can picture this I was in shorts (shorter shorts than I usually like to wear to the gym because lets be honest my legs are far from perfect). I had no make up on and was sweaty (because I am actually one those people who sweat when I work out). Not a pretty picture. I had this great idea to run to a local farmers market to pick up some veggies (because my garden absolutely SUCKED this year) before going home so I wouldn't have to run out later with both kids. I get in there and start bagging my veggies and a lady approaches me and tells me that she is with the Salt Lake Tribune and they are doing an article on this particular farmers market and asks me if it is okay if she takes some pictures of me while I am shopping. What am I supposed to say? Sorry I look like crap so no? Okay that's what I should have said but I'm to nice. I agreed and while I continued to shop and she continued taking pictures of me I was regretting my decision. The only thing running through my mind is "I hope she's far away enough that you can't see my cottage cheese" and many other similar thoughts.

As I was paying for my stuff I thought maybe people won't recognize me because she never asked me for my name. Yeah right. As I was walking out she stopped me and asked me my name and Bostons name. I'm just hoping nobody reads the papers anymore!!!

Weekend getaway

My brother Brad recently returned from his mission and our family wasted no time on planning a little getaway with everyone. This last weekend we headed to Logan and Bear Lake for some play. It's pretty sad but this was the kids first stay at a hotel and they actually surprised us and did pretty well. They drove us crazy but they did sleep. We drive us thursday afternoon and met everyone at Maddox for dinner. Yummy!! We can't drive through Brigham City without a stop at Maddox.
Friday morning woke up and headed to Bear Lake. We had reserved waive runners for the day and they did not disappoint. It was a bit chilly that day (we were lucky if it hit 65) but we didn't let the cool weather dampen our day. We were just happy we didn't get rained on. We actually found that it was a bit warmer to hang out in the water than it was to hang out on the beach. After playing in the water all day we of course had to stop and get a raspberry shake. Oh and were they good!! That night we all went to dinner as a family. Anyone else feel that vacations are usually planned around where and what you are going to eat? I swear all we did was eat.

Saturday we woke up to rain, which kind of put a damper on our canyon plans. Instead we headed to the pepperidge farms outlet and then to some fun center for arcade games, laser tag and a game of bowling. Of course that was followed by lunch out and a pizza place. I think we all rolled out of there. By this time we were beat and it was past the kids nap time. We decided to call it good and headed home. It was a fun and tiring weekend.

Boston thought the lockers at the bowling alley were fun entertainment. He could actually crawl in and turn around and almost get the door closed.
