Let the melting begin.....

Monday I leave to Phoenix for a week with Candice, Brandon, Junior and some other people and with the high at 100 degrees and the low 72, we are all in for some great times!


My cousin lives down there, so hopefully I'll get to spend some time with her- since we are only busy for about 2 hours each day with work stuff. Thank goodness for lazy rivers! That is pretty much where we will be spending all of our time and trying to initiate some shenanigans.


Take a glimpse of where I'll be......

My Soccer Champ!

Today was Ausha's last soccer game of the Spring 2008 season. Her team- the Pink Princesses were made up of 4 and 5 year olds that have never participated in organized sports before, and it was pretty interesting as the weeks went on. They pretty much got slaughtered every game, and mid way through the season, a girl on the team named Sarah made their first goal ever. Then today, on the last play of the game, my amazing daughter scored the second goal of the season for her team! It was the most amazing thing ever- she had no idea why we were so excited and why everyone was telling her she was awesome. Thank goodness I have it on film!

Every single girl on her team has improved, and they were so excited every week to go to their practices and games, even though they lost all their games, they were still winners. They had no idea they lost, they were there to have fun and get treats.

Needless to say, we will defiantly be participating in the Fall season coming up in August.

Yikes!

I wonder if anyone still reads this thing.....
Anywho, it has been almost 3 months since my last confession, I mean post, so here it goes.

January and February pretty much sucked and I didn't go to the gym. March was a little better since Easter came early this year and I got to go down to St. George for some much needed R&R. My daughter, mother, my cousin (who is more like an uncle) and his family joined us for a few days and it was a blast! April flew by and here we are in May.... yay! Aush is in soccer and loving every minute of it- she is on the pink team and enjoying her new friends and being more social. She had a talk in primary two weeks ago so I went to go see her and no the church didn't explode and she did a phenomenal job. Thank goodness it was only like a 3 minute talk and she memorized it and had everyone blown away. Oh the confidence she has- I envy her.

My sister had her spawn on April 4th and let me tell you that has been one hell of an emotional roller coaster. I have learned that I love my situation and would never trade places with anyone ever. I have also learned that immaturity is ridiculous and the irritant of many things lately.
Aush had some cavities filled up at Primary's so they could put her fully under with sedation. That was an exciting day. My cute little girl was high as a kite and no matter how much I tried to keep up my 'tough' image, I found myself all alone in the waiting room crying like a baby, hoping she was going to be alright when I certainly knew that she was in safe hands. I hate to cry. I feel ridiculous and helpless and that I can't handle things. So I bottle them up inside and wait for the explosion. Let me tell you how much fun that is.

It is almost 11pm and my kid is still up watching the Waterhorse- ugh. Oh well, soccer isn't until noon tomorrow. Yay for sleeping in! This has been a week of long nights and not enough sleep. I found a game and I have become a master at it. It's called the Burger Shop and I have missed out on some good hours of sleep playing said game trying to beat it (which I did) and now I have turned my family into Burger loving people!

Oooh- I almost forgot. I got this cool IUD thing a couple weeks ago and let me tell you how much I love it. I got the copper one which is good for 10 years meaning no impregnating Jen for a long, long time! I could not be happier. This is the coolest thing since sliced bread. The best part is, if I want to take it out earlier I can, but no sperm will be making their way to my eggs!

I leave for Phoenix in a month and I can't wait! Get me to some sunshine and a fantastic rub down ASAP! Oh the shenanigans that will transpire..... stay tuned.
