You scratch my back

I'll scratch yours! We were at Wheeler Farm taking pictures of the fam and we saw these donkeys "servicing each other". Ha ha ha, couldn't resist snapping a picture!

Rockin' Out!

Once again I catch Rachel with my cell phone taking pictures.  This time it was of Cole rockin' out to Jason's ipod.  He's pretty much a blurr but it's a perfect description of his dancing!

My Sister!

Poor little Rachel doesn't have a sister...and never will (unless Heavenly Father has a different plan for me that I don't know about!). She is always calling random things her "sister". The other day it was the stair railing post with a blanket wrapped around it and an apron over that.

And the headless mannequin had to step in as the older sister when we were shopping at Old Navy last summer (hooray for cell phone pics!)  Poor thing....I feel bad for her!!!

Best seat in town!!!

I was rushing around this morning trying to get ready for work when I walked outside and realized what a nice day it was going to be. So, I hurried and packed the back of my mini with some outdoor toys for the kids to play with at the baby sitter's house. Since I was running so late I decided to not bother with car seats. I opened the door and told Cole to sit down then proceeded to hop into the drivers seat and started backing out. When I looked back this is what I saw:

What a cute little boy!  Oh how I love him!!!!!!

Saturday = Soccer Day!

I'm sad I wasn't able to be at my kids soccer games today...someones gotta pay the bills though! Check out the cutie girl in yellow all the way to the right. Yep, that's my Rach. The cutie girl all the way to the left is Olivia. Jason says Rachel is taking after Alex's ways of playing soccer when he was her age. We call it "chasing butterflies". She has fun though and that's all that matters!

Alex got to play goalie today for the first time. He only let one ball get past him. Last week he was the star of his team by getting 3 goals! Maybe he does have some potential there after all!
Thanks to my hubby for making me feel like I was there by taking these pics with his blackberry and sending them to me at work!

Doing a post-a-day is harder than it sounds!

Especially when it's so nice outside! Today:

- Rachel had 2 playdates and basically ended up playing all day at other people's houses (yes!)
- The little dude was on day 2 of his croup. Good thing it helps to take them outside because he would live outside if I let him! He sounds awful!
- I was able to sit in the sun for a while and read "Catching Fire". It's such a good book! I wish I could read it non-stop till I'm finished!
- I went for a short ride on my bike only to find JoRae outside working in her yard. I stopped and talked to her for a while....fun to spend time with friends.

That's about it for my day. I get to work the next 3 days in a row....thankfully all day shifts. I can hardly wait to see the condition of my house come Tuesday morning!

I have a feeling I'm gonna be sore tomorrow!

I finally got my Mother's Day present yesterday and I was so stinkin' excited that I got my bike all tuned up and ready to go. So, I probably shouldn't admit that I haven't worked out since I broke my foot 1.5 years ago (and probably longer than that really) but it's the truth. It felt soooo good to get out in the fresh air, get my heart pumping, and get a decent workout. I had Rachel and Cole piled in the back with their blankies and a snack and they were as happy as could be!

I had my ipod (yes that says Ace of Base) to keep my motivated.

I decided to stop at the park on my way back home and let the kids play for a while.

When I got home I discovered that Rachel had discovered my phone and took a few pictures of her own:

Yikes! I know I said I like BIG butts but seriously, let's NEVER take another picture like this one again!

Thanks Jason and kids for my present!!!
