Mother's in my life

My Mother.

Kandee, Jared's mom

Step mom

Best friend and my sister mom

Sister moms

Sister in Law

My wonderful babies.

Sometimes, I wish they were still like this.

Life is still nutty

Real estate in the Spring is super crazy. Sometimes I think my head is going to explode. Oh well... I really love it.  At least Ma and Pa Stone will be moving here. I'm so excited to have family close by again. Today, I took them out to lunch. It was nice having a relaxing meal without having to tell anyone to finish eating.

I need to blog more. I need to do a lot of things more:

read
workout
sleep
play with the kids
take the dog for a walk

For mothers day, Brit and I are kidnapping Kandee. It should be a ton of fun. We're all getting our toes done. I'm not sure if I've ever seen Kandee's toes painted. They can't be worse than mine. My feet are horrible right now. 

Going skiing tomorrow

I can't wait. The Fosters are coming tonight and we're taking all the kids skiing tomorrow. It's either going to be a nightmare or fab....

My moneys on Emma crying first.

Let's see what happens.

More to follow tomorrow.

To Nutty to Write

Wow, I can' believe I haven't blogged since Jan.  I know you've missed me so much...NOT!!

Ouch!!! My life was been so crazy lately too.

Recently, Jared and I have been talking about our communication skills, Or lack of them. I have  major issues communicating. I'm not sure what to do about it. I've started reading some books, suggested by Jared. But damm, those books are boring. All they talk about it is fixing yourself first, before looking at your partners issues.

What...I didn't know I had any issues...lol

Why is marriage so hard??? I wish it could be like the movies....flowers and love songs. I love him with all my heart, it just sucks when you go through a rough patch.  We've had our fair share of bumps in the road. I'm ready for smooth sailing.

What do you do to spice up your marriage???

Ski Day

            Last week the kids and I went skiing. We had a great time. 100% better  from   the last time we tried. I had them take another lesson since the last one didn't count. Brighton was packed, but it didn't feel like it on the mountain. Not a ton of people hang out around the bunny hill, so we were ok.  Of course, we still had a few melt downs, but overall it was a blast.   

           We can't wait to go again. We stayed from open to close. I wish the sport wasn't so expensive or we would go all the time. I love watching the little kids learning to ski and snowboard. One kid looked like he was 3 yrs old. Brit wants to learn to snowboard, but I want her to get skiing first. The weather and fresh powder was PERFECT!!  So Justin was suppose to come too, but decided at the last minute he had to much  homework. LOSER..... Oh well,  he missed out on a fabulous time.

Yeah, I think I'm going pro. Tammy Stone coming to a Winter Olympics near you!!

By the end of the day, the kids were taking the lift by themselves. The staff were so friendly and willing to help if you fell getting off. I'm proud to say, I didn't fall once!!

Last picture before we left for the day. The sun was going down. So sad, we didn't want to leave.

5k Baby

So it' official. I'm running a 5k.

OMG!!

I'm not a runner. What am I thinking???/ I run like a turtle, slow and steady.

The race is scheduled for super bowl weekend. Jared wanted to sign us up for the 10k, but I told him he's smokin' crack. Let's start small ....ok babe.

At least I can run my ass off then pig out the next day. Yippie!!

How I feel today!!!

BLAH.........................................

To top it off we went skiing. I've been wanting to do this for yrs. So for my birthday we went. I didn't however, ask for 2 sick children and melt downs.  Nothing like spending all that money to only stay for 2 hrs. LAME!!
