Girlfriends

When Rachel sent me some pictures from her and Sara's visit to Utah it made me realize how much I missed having all of my girlfriends close by. Who knew that my decision to attend Utah State would give some of the best memories of my life..like when Brooke puked on the bus (this is still one of my favorite stories), when Sara, Rachel, and I took crazy pictures in the doorways (we were never bored, we kept ourselved entertained), the "porch boys", and all of the crazy parties. There are so many things I miss about these girls, but most of all I miss the laughter..we could sit for hours just talking and laughing about nothing, (something you just can't do with husbands). I'm soo greatful for all of the memories that we made and that we will continue to make. Thanks girls for your friendships and for all of the wonderful memories.

Halloween

Halloween night Jolene and I decided to venture out and take the kids Trick-or-treating..after the first house Tara knew exactly what to do. She would go right up to the door (normally she is so shy she doesn't leave my side), collect her candy making sure it was in her pumpkin, turn around with a BIG cheesy grin and run towards me laughing. You could tell in her little smiling face that she thought it was the greatest night ever..knock on a door and get free candy who wouldn't think it was great. It was fun seeing her so excited. She's my Little Ladybug!!

Motherhood

So life as a mom is very interesting! I think little Tara Lee has had her fare share of assorted illnesses for being only 16 months. With the ongoing sinus infections and ear infections to the fractured arm. I never knew I would be in and out the Doctors office so often. But yesterday as I was picking Tara up from daycare Brenda hit me with this, and as a new mom I was definitely caught off gaurd. Brenda.."so I noticed that she had olives for dinner last night" Me.."yeah she did, she kept stealing them off of my plate." Brenda.."well when I was changing her bum I also noticed this".. as Brenda hands me a BUG!!! I didn't know what to say, a BUG!?!? My first thought is that she had eaten it, but it was all intact so we kind of ruled that out. So what do I do? Do I take her to the doctor for this? Does this mean she has worms? Who knows. All I do know is that I never thought that we would find a little millipede BUG in my daughters diaper.
