Wicked Weekend










I've lived in the NW for almost 15 years and it took my mom flying up and tickets to Wicked for me to finally get to Portland. What a beautiful city!!! The show was amazing and so were the sights!

Cute pictures! Wicked comes here to Denver in October - Scott and I have tickets and I'm SO looking forward to it! Glad you had a fun girls' trip with your mom and Eden. I love Eliza's sweater - Adyson had a green one quite similar :) Cute family, Bianca!

I recognize that waterfall! Did you guys take the trails to the top? Its changed since my youth. The falls used to look differently and then some huge rocks shifted and fell to the pool below. I need to go back again soon. Maybe we'll do that this Spring. Its been too long.
I really want to see Wicked, too. Hoping to convince Chance to come with me.

I tried to read your blog a while ago and I swear it was private.? Did I dream that? Anywho, I am back to loving the updates on your family. I am so glad you got to go see Wicked. It is my favorite! I can't tell you how many times a day I find myself saying, "That's what makes me so nice!" LOVE IT! I just read many of you posts and about died reading the one about Liza's 911 call! That is so scary! I am thrilled she is ok. I loved catching up! Love you.

Let's just call this paybacks

Dave got the heads up this morning that we were going to have a couple of "special" talks on reverence today as the Stake Presidency was a little concerned about how loud our sacrament meetings have become. I thought ~ great, let's prep the kids ~ I told them that they were to be on their best behavior, no snacks, no toys, no talking, you get the idea... The meeting went pretty smooth until the Bishop got up. He very tenderly started talking about how important it is that we teach our children about the sacrament...it was at that moment that my family fell a part. Eden and Luke started fighting and Liza and Tucker started screaming---did I mention we were on the second row? I grabbed Luke and put him in a body hold and motioned for Dave to get Tuck and Liza out. Dave left with Liza and Tuck (so I thought...) and next thing you know, Tucker is up on the stand running back and forth behind the Bishop. My sweet friend sitting next to me jumped up to get Tuck, but he of cours...

Lesson Learned

Have you ever been in a grocery or Target type store with all your kiddos and had a lovely employee tell your children to "please sit down in the cart!"? Well I have...several times. Each time I politely smile and say sorry, but all the while my brain is filled with smart aleck comments like "hey, last time I checked, I was their mother," or, "lady it's either standing up in the cart or pulling product off your shelves-you choose!" I have been sufficiently humbled. This morning, like all mornings, I put Eliza in her high chair to get her out of my hair for a moment so that I could make breakfast. She immediately climbed out and was about to stand on the table when she lost her balance and fell to the floor. I raced over to pick her up and noticed that while she was trying to scream nothing was coming out of her mouth. I picked her up and she started seizing, her eyes rolled back into her head and then she went limp. No words can describe the thoughts...

Facelift

It is time this blog gets a facelift! I know it is not "in season" but I don't think I want to update my widgets for at least another year. Dave and I just got back from a weekend cruise with some friends on the NCL. We got a small taste of what a real cruise was like and that was all it took. We are already planning the next, much longer one. It might be 10 years before we do it, but it is fun to plan nontheless.
