Too Much!

There is just too much cuteness going on at this house.  Sometimes I wonder if I am going to become numb to the adorable.  It is like constantly watching puppies snuggling with kittens playing with bunnies.  I am thinking about joining a roller derby team in Fayetteville just to get some violence out and balance my universe.  It is either that or start watching the Saw movies.  This have gone into uber cute lately with Mae.  She makes sure that Spike has a stuffed animal each time we put him down to sleep.  A few days ago she even said, "Nite nite Spikey!"  Spikey.  Disgustingly adorable.  I am a bit afraid that all this adorable behavior can only lead to two possible outcomes.  Either they will continue to stay ultra adorable and become the next Osmonds, which will then make our closeness to Branson convenient, or they will become serial killers.  I don't know which outcome I fear more. 

Trip

This past week has found me sick with a nasty cold.  Sometimes cold's are so miserable because you feel like you should be able to get something done, cause its not like your vomiting or something.  SO it is sickness and guilt.  It really screwed up the week for me, made me miss my runs and an enrichment I was actually looking forward to.  To add insult to injury the weather this week has been paradise perfect!  I could have gotten so much done.  Jeff even had a vacation day planned for Friday, which he took but he spent the time taking care of me.  What it wasn't going to interupt was our Satruday plans.  We took Max, left the babes with a friend and went to Kansas City.  The Kansas City Temple is finally done and we wanted to attend the open house.  The trip was rather uneventful which was refreshing.  There were supposed to be possible tornados, but they seemed to have stayed in Oklahoma.  We stopped at an outlet mall for lunch, they had good stores but it is always disapointing to shop when you are at weight heaviest.  We took Max to a resturant called T-REX.  The whole place was designed to look prehistoric.  It was impressive.  I felt like I was at Disneyland minus the rides.  He liked it alot and we got him a giant dino-bone cup.  Then off the the temple.  It is a beautiful temple.  The styling inside was lovely and very to my likeing.  There was an olive tree theme to everything that kept the colors to a woodsy brown and green.  Super thrilled to see the clothing rental, cause I always stress out that I have forgotten something in Oklahoma City.  It was really cool to see the whole building.  It seems like since I moved from Utah I can only squeeze in one activity per tempple trip, so it was nice to see the whole thing.  I realized that it has been over a decade since I have done baptisms.  I guess it is time for me to get called into Young Women's or soemthing.  On the way home my sickness got the best of me and I will say I felt all three and a half hours of that drive.  Ooof.  When we got back we got a glowing report from the kind lady who watched to kids all day.  I don't know if this was cause they were good or cause the lady is just so nice.  Either way it was nice to have someone watch the babes so we could spend time with Max.  Final thoughts, I am so glad we now have a temple in Kansas City.  It is not our assigned temple, but Kansas City is so much more fun then Oklahoma City.  It is nice to get out of the mini temple, but I was suprised at how small it actually was; I assumed that since it was not a mini temple it would be big like the Mt. Timp or Boston.  NOPE.  I am afraid it will be really crowded for awhile.  I do hope to go back soon.  Glad I could take Max.  I realized that even growing up in the church for one reason or another I was not able to make it to the temple until I was seventeen.  So I am glad that Max had the oppertunity so young.

The Girls

Mae only went for the pink eggs at the hunt today.  What a girl.  I realize that I somewhat forced her into pink at the beginning, but I think I can safetly say that she has now chosen it for herself.  I have to remeber these cute moments when she wakes us up screaming every night at 3 a.m. She is not going without her binky without a fight.  A three week fight. 

Busy

Lots has happened lately, and I still haven't blogged about the new roof ordeal.  Actually, I'll just take care of that really quick; We got a new roof, the insurance covered it.  They took way too long, covered my lawn with nails, and took off early before the big storm.  Nice!  Also, the owner was a racist who openly told us he made sure we got the white guys?!?  He also couldn't stop mentioning the fact that he went to Harvard.  Bully for him. 

Spike's cast came off yesterday.  He seems happy to be free, but he is also pretty miserable getting five teeth in at the same time.  His upper incisors have come in before the middle teeth so he looks like a baby vampire. 

We got a new car!  This will be a separate post to come later.  Let me just clarify that it was necessary and not cause we are rolling in the dough. 

My mommy is coming for my birthday.  It seems fitting since she was there for the big event 30 years ago.  I tend to think on all my kids birthday's that I did all the work, so maybe I should get her something while she is here.  Especially since she is getting over her fear of flying to come out.  She must really love me. 

Speaking of the big 30, I am still compiling my decade resolutions,  please feel free to send me a note or comment on what you think I need to work on.   I suspect most of the comments will be like those found in my yearbooks, "Just stay awesome!"
