Just one of those days!

Yes, I know we all have them. But I just need to vent a little, so bare with me. It all started last night with the dreaded PMS. Sorry, but it happens. First one since having Blake.

So then this morning tring to get all three kids out the door is hard. But getting three kids out the door making your way to Costco and realizing you don't have your purse. Which you left on the kitchen counter because I had to help Brooklyn poop. Now this is just upsetting. I wanted to yell some words. (if you know what I mean) :)

Lunch Time at Beck's: Kallie is constantly saying "They are being mean". "They don't want to play with me". AHHH! I don't want to hear anymore. Kallie has just been giving me a hard time lately. Being very difficult.

So I do try and calm the situation down and while doing this Kallie sticks her tongue out at Tyler. AHHH! Time to go home. Kallie is going to time out.

Then coming home I am unloading some heavy drinks and there is the umbrella top to the jogger. This is a metal bar that curls up on the end. Well I just so happen to step right on this metal curl part, slicing my big toe open and gushing blood on my rainbow sandals. OOCH! Is right.

I did bite my tongue though so no bad words came out. :) Impressive, I think so.

So now I have a hurt big toe and bad stomach cramps. All I want to do is lie down and go to bed. Now that Kallie is in her room for the afternoon, and I got Brooklyn to sleep. But no I can't sleep, Blake won't let me.

What is it with babies and moms, we can never be on the same schedule. Kids either for that matter. So anyway, This is my VENT! Oh, did I mention Jim is out of town!! JUST ONE OF THOSE DAYS!

Biker Gang

Jim's boss was moving and gave us this bike he didn't need anymore for his daughter. Lucky for us, Brooklyn now has a bike and it just so happens to be the exact same bike as Kallie's. (just older) SWEET! no fighting over who has the cooler bike.

Jim right away got Brook a helmet along with some training wheels so she can start riding.

I am thinking, there is no way she can ride a bike, she is too little. She is barely three. Boy was I wrong! She just took off right away. It is the cutest thing watching my girls ride their bikes together.

Meanwhile, as I am watching and taking pictures I can't help but think how BIG Brooklyn looks riding this bike. Where did the time go? I was just holding this fat cheeks little girl in my arms. Anyway, I just can't believe how she has grown into this beautiful little girl. Time is so precious with our little ones!

Blake's first time in the pool!

Pictures say, 1000 words! Well mine are...

Stressed
Hot
Cold
Irritated
Frustrated
Scared
Hungry
Tantrum
Whining
Crying

Well not quite a 1000.

I know your thinking, Blake looks happy. Which he was, just not mom!

I just did not enjoy the pool this time. Which I hate, cuz I love the sun and being in it.

I had such a hard time watching 3 kids in the pool. Very scary and stressful. Constantly saying to myself. Ok! 1...2...3... a couple minutes later, 1...2... where's Kallie? OK there she is! 3...

Kallie can swim some what! But not good enough by herself yet. She sometimes goes to deep and then we got trouble.

Any advice would be nice!

Where are the baby pools, and the beach entrance pools in UTAH? Or even the water features that shoot up? You know any shallow pool to play in, that is not so easy to drown in?

Meanwhile, I think I will hold off on the pool thing till at least one can swim by themselves. Or if I have another set of eyes watching with me.

Too stressful to watch 3 kids who can't swim by themselves!

Pure Luck!

This last Saturday we went to Jim's company party at Lagoon.

It was really fun. The girls enjoyed all the fun rides and we also made it into the water park, since it was such a hot day.

I wish I had pictures of this day but we forgot our camera. (bummer)

So anyways, It is 1pm and we are to go to the picnic site for the party. We eat lunch, the norm hamburgers and hotdogs and then the festivities begin. First up an obstacle course. They randomly call up 5 individuals who tickets they happened to draw.

Guess who gets called up? That's right, Jim.

Those individuals are now to choose up to 4 people to join them on this obstacle course. Meantime, announcing that the winner will win a Nintendo Wii!

What! Are you serious? Jim has been wanting one of these ever since they first came out. Of course we never got one due to them being like $400.

So we are thinking. Yeah right! We never win anything at these company parties!

But, of course Jim's team made it through this obstacle course in 54 seconds. Which makes Jim the winner!!

Jim won a Wii! Can you believe it?

We have been playing on it everyday all day. It is so much fun. So thanks Sonic Innovations for the FREE Nintendo Wii. Smile!

Happy Father's Day!

Remember when back in the day, we only had one child? I forget what it is like to only have one. Here is Jim with our sweet Kallie. Our little red head! Don't ask us where it came from :)






Then came child #2. It's another Girl. Brooklyn! aka Booty Boo.





Finally, At last came our BOY with his big blue eyes. Blake! aka dudey dude/fat kid.

Happy Father's Day, DAD! You are such a rockstar. Love, Kallie, Brooklyn and Blake

Props to Becky, my Shero (she and hero, got it from Oprah)

I think Becky is an amazing person!

She is a great sister and an amazing runner. She has been my work out partner ever since I moved here to Utah.

We run with our jogging strollers roughly 3 miles, 3 days a week. Not to mention Becky is 20 weeks pregnant and can still out run me on any given day. Some of you might say, 3 miles no problem what are you complaining about. But this run is no ordinary run. We live on top of a mountain. A big one! (Such a hard run without pushing a ton of weight)

Her motivation to run is mind blowing. I simply do not have it. I honestly do try with the help of my Ipod and "Keep holding on" by Avril Lavigne. But, I simply do not enjoy running as much as her. I do it, to get back in shape after baby #3.

My choice of workout would probably be Body Combat a kickboxing class and Body Pump (of course, for those of you who don't know. I teach it or at least I did in Cali.) LOVE Body Pump! So without it, it has been so hard here because the closest Body Pump class to me is in SLC. To far to drive, to workout, or teach. Not to mention gas prices, but thats another story.

Becky the other day asked. "Megan do you want to add on some more mileage to our run?" I was like. "No Beck, I am good with what we are doing."

Holy Cow! Right. I know. I don't know how she does it. Amazing.

Another day, she says. "I just don't feel like running today. My body just aches."

So I am thinking in my head. Ok Meg you can do it. I am going to stay ahead of Becky today.

Honestly, What was I thinking. Here comes the big hill that I always die on. I thought I was doing good. But then all of a sudden here comes Becky just flying up behind me on this hill with her jogger, Passing me in the wind.

Kallie turns to me and says. "Mom, come on! Catch up to Becky."

In my head. I wanted to flick her on the head and tell her to get out of the stroller and help push up this hill. But I didn't say that. :) I said. "Kallie, I can't go faster. We will catch up to her in a little bit"

So Becky this post is to you. You are my Shero! Way to go girl, You rock! You motivate me to push myself everytime. Props to you!

Disneyland!

My parents met up with us at Disneyland. The girls loved having the grandparents there. It was cold and Rainy both days. But we still managed to have a blast!





I had to add this picture of my dad. It was so funny.


Kallie and me after the new nemo ride. It was really cool.


Up, Up and away on the rocket ride.


The best kid ever! Seriously!




Strike a pose Kallie. Poor Brooklyn was always to afraid.


That's a wrap! Such a fun and exhausting day for everyone.
