Kally's 3rd Birthday

We celebrated Kally's 3rd birthday on Saturday the 21 with a fun cousins party at our house. We played pin the tail on the donkey and bingo. We also decorated party hats because all Kally wanted at the party store was the "I am 1" hat that had fur and sparkles on it. So we decided to make our own. We had a great time. She received some fun presents including her super cute hat from Gma Diane and a baby doll she named Cradle from Gma Judie, along with clothes and fun kitchen toys from her cousins.

The next morning this is what we found on the bottom of our bed. Kally had gotten up in the middle of the night and gone on a candy hunt! She found the bag that I hid in my room and helped her self to some and then fell asleep on our bed!

Libby's Piano Recital

Libby had her first piano recital on Friday and we thought some of you might like to see it. She played The Lion Sleeps Tonight. We thought she did pretty good for only having had 5 months of lessons. We are also proud of her for not giving up even though she hates to practice and wanted to quit. She now knows that it can be rewarding and fun to stick to something hard. Good job Libby!

Coming soon Kally's 3 Birthday!

Are you KIDDING me!!

So it is a very snowy day in South Weber and of course Erika did not plan ahead and go shopping for food to feed her three children so she has to go to the store to buy milk and bread and other essentials. Abby and Kally are starving and, as stated before, there is no food in the house so Erika promises nuggets from Wendy's if they can be really good in the store. They keep their end of the bargain so off to Wendy's they went. In the mean time it is still just dumping snow. Erika rolls down the window and pays the nice lady and she hands her the nuggets. Erika tries to roll up the window and nothing happens. What! So being a good citizen she pulls out of the drive thru and into the the right hand turning lane to turn onto SR 193. Still trying to pull on the window to get the thing to roll up, Erika sees TWO huge highway snowplows speeding toward her. Not judging there velocity and proximity to the car she yells, "Are you freaking KIDDING me!!" and promptly receives a mouth full of sludge, salt and gravel. As she slowly opens her eyes she sees the entire interior of her car is covered in the same concoction she is spitting from her mouth. It is literally raining road sludge on the inside of her van and the blessed nugget bag is sopping wet! So, still stunned at the satanic karma that has fallen on her, she pulls out onto the highway and realizes that there is snow whipping her in the face through the window and she can not see out the windshield because it is covered in droplets of sludge. Erika then pulls over and try's one last feeble attempt to roll up the stinkin window and she swears she hears the voice of the devil laughing as the *@#! thing flawlessly rolls up all the way!!

That is the most exciting part of my horrible awful day that started with Libby missing the bus this morning and ending with me cleaning chocolate tar poop off of Dianes carpet. I will add that I am at Dianes because my van got stuck in the snow in the middle of the road and Blake had to come home early to dig it out because I had to stop shoveling after 45 minutes due to consistent contractions! So That is my are you KIDDING me day!! Hope you all have a better one than me!
