Clean Adult Fun

Next time your husbands say that there's nothing to do just show them these pics. That is Tim and Rusty O'Donnal having tons of fun climbing all over the twister mat.

The children had great fun just watching.

I'm sure that they only played because they are both so competitive.

Don't Grow Up Too Fast

It seems to me that some of the cutest things that our children do are also some of the hardest things to witness. Maybe I'm just a little too emotional but when we were at a family christmas party and my three year old daughter came out in this dress I wanted to cry. Right away I was picturing the day that would come all too soon when she would be walking down that aisle with her daddy wanting to leave us :(

Daddies and their daughters

I just love my husband and how good he is with both of his daughters. I thought I would take a moment to share with all of you how wonderful he is.

The not so 5 foot trophey

So the trophey was so not five feet tall obviously but it was still a great season and a fun party to celebrate my husbands awesomeness. (I just love how you twitch over the spelling of a word that was made up) In the end my Tim is still the champ even though the trophey is smaller than it should be!

Who could complain with a model like that though ;)

Wild Woman on the loose!!

Well I actually did it!! I raced the ladies race!! You better believe I ran into the wall too. On the very first lap I fish tailed in turn four and hit the wall! It was awesome!! It was just like bumper cars (much to my husbands horror) ;) Hey what do you expect when you have a crazy driver like me in a race car with a bunch of other women. I was laughing so hard most of the time about running into everyone that I just drove worse. It was super fun though and there was no real damage to the car. My brother-inlaw assured me that if I was in my minivan I would have won because I drive faster in my van :)

Good Luck Daddy :)

We decorated my van in preperation for Tim's Championship race on Saturday. Emma was sad that she couldn't write anything so I let her put her hand print on the window by where she sits. Its so stinking cute. It must have given him good luck too because he won second place in the race and he won the Championship!! WOOHOO!!!!! It was really good clean racing and he totally deserved the win. Can't wait until the Banquet on November 21st when we get to bring home the 5' trophy :)

Scrub-a-dub naked baby in the tub

Daddy gave Lily a bath for the first time and she was super cute. Bouncing up and down in the water and smiling for him. All was going well until she pulled the signature move and peed on him. All was well because the smiles were worth the pee:)

Princess for sure:)

When Emma got up for school today she said that she wanted princess hair. Now keep in mind that it's near impossible to make her happy about her hair once she gets it in her head that she wants it to look like a princess. I did the best that I could with the bows that I wanted her to wear in her hair to match her outfit and for once she LOVED it!! She told me in her most serious voice, "Oh mommy this is princess hair for sure! You need to take a picture and send it to daddy right now." And of course because every home with a girl in it revolved around that girl I took a picture and sent it to her daddy:)

Any mom out there with a Princess Diva like mine knows that any day that you can make that princess happy with that little of effort is a GLORIOUS day indeed:)

#1 Dad

This would be my fabulous husband Tim. You know how people always buy their dads those cheesey #1 Dad shirts? Well my husband sooo deserves it!! He is a wonderful husband and the best dad imaginable. After I had my surgery he got up every night with our newborn daughter Lily. Even though he had to work at 4:30am he still got up to let me sleep. He is also a wicked awesome race car driver. He races hobby stocks at the dirt track in prescott valley. He is currently first in points with only two more races to go. I'm already preparing the shelf that will hold the 5 foot tall championship trophey that he will be receiving ;) I thank Heavenly Father every day for this man that makes me so very happy. Love you babe!!

Everyday Mayhem

Well I had a baby 7 weeks ago and her name is Lily everything went very well with the delivery and recovery and just when I'm getting back into the swing of life with a newborn I wind up in the ER with Gall stones. I was in the hospital for four days and it was miserable. They had to remove my Gall Bladder because it was full of stones and very infected. Oh yeah and when I showed up in the ER they gave me Morphine for the pain and that put me into Cardiac Arrest. It's a good thing to know that I'm allergic to Morphine. This recover is taking much longer than my delivery but I'm on my way. On a more possitive note Emma started preschool this week and she is loving it!! She comes home and tells me all about her new friends and her new teacher. She was a little bummed when I told her that she would only have that teacher for one week for now but I'm sure she'll be fine when she meets her new teacher. Lily has started smiling already. She is getting so big so fast. She loves to smile at Emma even though Emma is just being a huge goober most of the time. I guess thats just what babies like. Anywho excited for preschool again next week. Emma loves it and Lily and I get a little alone time.
