T-I-R-E-D

Can I just say last week was very exhausting! Duncan was gone for short trip to Dallas and then his annual guys golf trip for 5 days! I had to much to do this week. Monday, the girls had their recital pictures. I had to do hair & make-up and have them dressed by 5:15pm. It was crazy, but got it over with.  Tuesday was dance again. Thursday I had my continuing Ed class for 8 hours. It was so freaking boring, but hey at least I'm done with it for 2 years. Friday still no rest, worked on making a diaper cake for Katie's shower this weekend and a hair bow holder. Saturday I took Karter to her soccer game and it was so cold & windy. Then the rain came, thank goodness the game was called. That night my sister-in-law Addie and I had a blast! We went to the Thunder Game and then a bar under the Ford Center for VIP, ha! My sister Crystal and her husband with their 4 kids stayed the night at my house with Karter. When I got home (1:00am) Dillon was laying in the living room floor. I picked the heavy 5 year old up and put him in bed with me. I had no sleep. I'll never drink Red Bull again! At 5:30am I decided I might as well just get out of bed. I woke my sister & Jef up at 5:45am to get ready for the Memorial Marathon. So then I'm left at home with 5 kids to get ready by myself. I woke up them all up had them dressed and out the door by 7am. (  A 3 year old, 5 year old, set of identical 8 year old twins & a 10 year old). Karter and I watched while the 4 older kids ran in the race. Thank goodness Papa Ernie was there to help find the 4 of them. Complete Chaos. I was home by 9:30am and then out and about by noon shopping. Needless to say, 1. I was Superwoman this past week, 2. I can see myself with 5 kids, 3. I was in bed by 7pm last night.

Belated Spring Break Pics

Spring Break we took a trip to Keystone Colorado. We had a great time! Karter & Madison both went to ski school. Karter did very well. I actually cried when we went to spy on her because she looked to big and grown up. Madison has skied before, but need some brushing up on her skills. She was skiing blues by the second day and did an awesome job. Myself on the other hand, not so much. I'm terrified of heights and the older I get the worse it seems to be for me. I about had a panic attack on the lift on the way up the mountain and once we got to the top I was mad and thinking I can't do this. I walked some of the way down and caught a lift the rest of the way down. I stuck with the spa for a massage and shopping which is okay by me. Our Condo had a heated pool. It was freezing outside, but of course my kids are in the pool. Karter would get out and run around to go down the slide. One of the days it was even snowing on them while they were in the pool. Here are some pictures.

Karter's 1st Soccer Game

Over the next few weeks you will be seeing a recap of our lives over the past 2 months. I've been a little behind on keeping it up. Today is posting pics of Karter's 1st soccer game. All I can say is she was hilarious. She may not get the whole concept down, but she sure likes to run and then go off in her own little world. At one point in the game Karter is at the opposite end of the field running a huge circle. She has a determined look on her face and just keeps running. By the 2nd half she has totally lost interest in the game. Oh well she's only 3 and it's fun to watch.
