Irresistible Photo

This is my current favorite picture of both Charlie and Jane so it deserves it's own post.



This picture was taken in Utah on a little ride that sent them up high and then they bounced all of the way down. They were laughing so hard that I laughed a little too.

Rise and Shine

I've shown you how lucky I am to be able to wake up to the glory of Mike's hair every morning but I haven't shown you my other great reason to get out of bed.

She is smiling and jumping every morning when I go in her room.
It's totally worth it.

Le Tour

I am a Tour de France addict, have been for years. Yesterday was a disappointing day to watch and I can't get Lance's interview out of my head. He was interviewed right after the days race and you could see his disappointment and realization that he wouldn't be beating Contador this year. I had high hopes for him. Today I'm a little sad.

Blame it on Satan

Jane: "poo poo, pee pee, poop, pee, poopie, ha ha ha."

Charlie: "MOM, Jane is saying naughty words."

Mom: "I wonder who could have taught her those words? Hmmm."

Pause

Charlie: "Satan."

Home

Jane threw up on me on the flight home. It was gross. But she felt better afterward and then she even managed to fall asleep. COUNT IT, 21-52

Happy Birthday Jane

We celebrated Jane's birthday at Aunt Leslie's house before coming home. Jane managed to get everything "princess". ( One of those things that I swore I'd never do before having a girl that loves being girlie.) Charlie couldn't resist helping.

Moe loves chocolate.

Grandma made a great cake

Charlie is totally willing to be the "handsome prince" when playing with Jane. He'll figure out later that it's not such a good idea.

We love you Jane, Happy Birthday.

Mike is Coming

My husband comes today and I cannot begin to tell you how excited that I am. It has been a fun but hard three weeks and we are all looking forward to having Dad back with us. I pick him up today at 4:00. Wahoo!

MJ

You may not know that I'm an excellent dancer, but I am. I love to dance. I have been shaking it to my old friend Michael Jackson for the last few days. I don't feel terribly sad about his death because the Michael I loved has been long gone. Here are some of my favorites.

• PYT
• Billie Jean
• Beat It
• Thriller
• Man in the Mirror
• The Way You Make Me Feel

Idaho Trip Part 2

20-52

This is my great nephew Dallin, he kept eating the sand covered apple and I thought it was adorable.

Kelly, Leslie, Michelle, Courtney, McKenzie, Krista with baby Clara and Teresa. Most of these ladies are my nieces.

Charlie, Spencer, Adam

We had a fun day playing at Eagle Island with all of our extended family.

Moe

Girlfriends Kathy and Audra

I had breakfast with my girlfriends. I never seem to get enough time with them. I'm always left wanting more.

Tag

We stayed at my favorite brothers house in Idaho. I had to show you this picture because you can see a little of his house. He designed his home around the game of tag. This picture is taken from the family room. You can see there is a hallway to your left, one in the middle and one to the right. There are two different stairways to the basement. Then finally you have one stairway going upstairs and a fire pole to get down. Thus, many ways to run around and play tag. This is just one of the many games he plays with his kids.

(no this pole is not for dancing, it's for the kids to slide down. Get your mind out of the gutter.)


Charlie mastered it.

Jane needed help getting on but could get down by herself.
