relief

i feel 100% better tonight.

i have one less thing on my mind thanks to my boy.

i lost my wedding ring almost 4 weeks ago. i've said prayers, i've reassured people that ian really didn't take it this time like he did before to get a custom band made. i found lost it while i was not feeling well and had a long day. i apparently fell asleep on the couch and took it off while i was sleeping.

i've looked and looked and looked and stopped looking and then started again

ian found it after we pulled out the couch.

what relief!

my friend keri commented on my last post and asked if i made ri's dress she was wearing. and while i didn't (it's just an old navy dress) i saw this loved it and made this.




my new obsession. no pattern. not hard. need to fix the bottom layer. still not a seamstress. more to come.

chipetes style..

ok there is a lot to catch up on but first thing first.

right now, well for the past little bit riley and peyton have been completely obsessed with the girl chiphmunks called the chipetes. first we checked out a movie from the library where the girls raced the boys around the world which came complete with a c.d. which they loved. then our friends let us barrow the squeakquel movie that has the boy and girl chipmunks in it together as well. also every time they can they steal my phone from me and look up chipetes songs and movie clips on you tube on my phone.

The girls have been practicing singing like them, they want their hair done like them, and most importantly trying to get those dance moves down why they want to look like chipmunks is beyond me. also how do you do hair like a chipmunk? their hair is shaped like a mow hawk.

i think we are moving on to the movie and book jumunji so i thought i would post these pictures before the ship has completely sailed. ri asked me to take pictures of her practicing her moves. it's so funny and makes me nervous all at once.

WE ARE SO MORMON!

yep that's what i said to ian saturday afternoon. let me back up for a minute and give you a little background info.

We signed riley up for her first soccer season this year, we are so excited! she's so excited, we've been practicing with her in the yard because all of her practices have been canceled due to the weather etc.. we all had so much fun picking out the pink cleats, new shorts to practice in, new socks and the new water bottle. we tried on the uniform the day she got it and she wouldn't take it off until it was bed time and dirty.

after all that prep the pink panthers lost their first game about 10 to 1. i am happy to report that riley did assist in the teams 1 goal! we definitely have to work on riley not doing everything so literally the coach tells her. if she was told to not move while the ball was being kicked or thrown in she would still stand in the same place and not move while everyone started to play again until she was instructed to run. to cute.

so back to my title, at the end of her game they get all of the parents to come and line up on their side of the field facing the other parent and put their hands together (kind of like you were playing london bridges) to make a tunnel for the kids to run through. this was very new to all of us. ian and i had no idea what was going on and it was obvious our riley had never participated in this either. first the opposing team runs through your tunnel and you tell them all "good game" then your own kids team runs through your tunnel and you give them hi 5's and tell them the same. as ian and i are catching on to this new ritual we will be participating in riley is taking a little longer to understand the concept. she passed us right by but to every other parent (at least the 12 from our team) when she saw their hand held out to give her a hi 5 she instead extended her hand and gave them all a firm handshake and said, "thank you". everyone noticed and shook her hand back with a little giggle. ian and i couldn't help but laugh, i looked over at him and said, " we are so mormon right now" he agreed.

46 hours

for 46 hours on v-day weekend ian and i ate in peace. for 46 hours we talked uninterrupted. for 46 hours there were no toys left out to stub our toes on. for 46 hours we could sleep in or take a nap for al long as we wanted. for 46 hours i had 2 less head of hair to brush and fix and 2 less sets of teeth to brush. for 46 hours i don't think i went upstairs. for 46 hours i got to eat my ENTIRE plate of food i fixed for myself!

in 46 hours we talked, laughed, reminisced, went to the movies twice, went out to eat dinner way to late, did things around the house, went to church kidless, and had a valentines alone for the first time in 4 years.

as much as we enjoyed each other we were so ready after 46 short hours to have our 2 little girls back and hear about all of their adventures wtih grandma and grandpa, we were excited to hear their little screams as they ran around together. we were excited to warm up 4 little feet when they were cold, and bathe 2 extra kids.

after 4 hours of having our beautiful little girls back with us we were tired and ready for another 46 hour weekend alone! so the question is when can they go to your house again mom and dad?

a perfect little heart...

peyte had an unfortunate fall the other week. the first time we've had a fall or anything other then being cut open on purpose for surgery that required a band aid. pretty impressive huh? especially with how adventurous peyton is.



like i said, a sad fall but one festive scab if i've ever seen one! sorry if it makes you queasy but i had to share, i've never seen anything like it. she now has a cute little red spot on her knee in that same perfect little heart shape.



happy v-day!
