Wunda Girl: LST CA-CHP BLG.

I vow to stay on top of blogging so i won't have to post THESE kinds of posts anymore!
here's a bunch of random pics for ya:

Found this lizard at the park....

...then promptly caught him.

Love when Daddy comes home and she runs to him like this. She's always so excited to see him!

Hikin' w da girlies.

One of a million self portraits of my eldest daughter. Who's daughter is she anyway???

I dropped the girls off in Utah before leaving to Peru w/ Dan (more on Peru on a different post) so it was a flight out alone w them all, plus the return flight back from Peru to Utah then home- also alone w all 3 girls. On the way out, everything was going quite smoothly- I even got a bunch of chinese food for us to eat while we waited for the plane to load. I had just filled up all the sippie cups, and Addie was monky'ing around all over the place- I told her to calm down or she would drop the sippie and it would break and spill all over the place. I don't know what sort of witch doctor was watching us, but within 2 seconds Addie had dropped the sippie and sure enough- the lid popped off and the full sipp of water spills all over. "SIT DOWN!" I bark. I have my hands full of sippies and a plate full of chinese rice. Addie quickly and obediently jumps her bum onto the chair next to me, and her legs go kicking up in the air- KICKS MY PLATE- and the entire plate of rice FLEW up into the air and landed all about us. Now normally this is where I'd loose it and freak out- but it was all just timed soooooo perfectly. It was seriously like a candid camera show or something. Addie was looking at me so nervously... There was even some rice in Taylor's hair. This started a giggling fit from all 4 of us- and we cleaned it up and everything was good- also Taylor must have laughed pretty hard- cause she pooped right after all of this and blew out of her diaper. Good times right? (On a side note- Addie and I were now "even" because a couple days before that I had put her in a time out for something that we later found out she didn't do. After apologizing to her about it, she LOVED to remind me over the next several days that I had done something wrong. After spillin the water and kicking the rice out of my hands, she said, "now we r even mommy!" Smartie pants!

Flight safety instructions make great childrens books.

The girls found their own entertainment pretty easily. I just ignored the stares from strangers and also ignored the natural instinct of grossness from the airport floor, and let them roll down the rampway.

look closely and find something wrong w this picture. Thank goodness for SLC playcenters in the airport. It saved us when our plane was delayed an hour and a half!

Is it just me or does this guy make the shotgun look cool?

Naters w the gun(s)- he's so ripped!

Family walk. Addie is quite the budding photographer.

This was how we started our Sunday walk together. We made it a bit long this time and...

This is how we were coming home from our long Sunday walk- Addie had a blister, Tays needed to ride the stroller, Bella was crazying around, and Abigail was behind the camera on my back. So much for a "Walk". Also- later that next day I found a tick on Addie's head! That was a whole ordeal in itself. Luckily it was a dog-tick and not a deer-tick. But still- freaked me out for days.

Addie has a planter wart. This has been so gross and terrible for her. It was either go to the Dr (and I called a billion of them- all offering different but basically the same treatments) and burn, freeze or cut it off- all having about a 50% return rate, and costing hundreds of dollars, or try the "duct tape" method. So far it's been 4 weeks and it's totally working! Slow but effective :) And not too uncomfortable either.

My Mother's Day breakfast- so thoughtful! I love M day. All my favorites: fresh fruit, aged cheese and bread, "doggy" cereal (cracklin' oat bran- been my fav since I was a kid.) and Welches Grape Juice!
