Preciate cha...sa much!

And we were swingin'

The only kind of swingin' I allow. Come on, the other is just gross. What if you ended up with the "keys" of the comb-over guy that smelled like sweat and Drakkar?

What are YOU lookin' at?

Camping with Papa David

Fun was had by all. David was just disappointed that the camping didn't include fire or guns. Neither of those things are allowed in the playroom. I know, I know, I'm such a kill joy.

My new favorite thing

One of my favorite people, Dacia introduced me to my new favorite thing - LARABARs. They are AMAZING. Absolutely delicious, healthy, natural bars that taste like some of your favorite desserts. My personal favorite is the banana cookie. It tastes like banana bread, but without the guilt! They are gluten, soy and dairy free. Complete goodness.
Check them out at www.larabar.com.
If you are out here in SLC you can find them at Smith's or Wild Oats.
Enjoy!

Conversations with a Weirdo (Meaning Me)

There are approximately 60 piles of toys in my home. And, in these 60 or so piles you would find about 147 motorcycles (ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but not by much). This morning on the way to school Connor was playing with one of his billion motorcycles.
He said, "Mama, what kind of motorcycle is this?" I said, "It's a dirt bike." Exasperated he said, "NO, what KIND of dirt bike?" "Ohhhhhhhh. It's a Kawasaki, "I replied*.
He said, "I'm calling it a 50saki." To which I replied, "After 50 saki he wouldn't be a very good driver." Under his breath he whispered, "I don't know what you are talking about." Awkward silence followed.
This was very familiar to me as most of my conversations end in the same manner.
After 5 minutes or so he piped up and said, "My underwear is up in my bum." Followed by, "I got it out Mama."
I wish adults were as forgiving of my awkward conversation style as my 4 year old. It would definitely help cut down on my therapy sessions.

*You might be wondering how I knew this answer so quickly. It's because I have stepped on this particular motorcycle nothing short of 15 times in the middle of the night. So, the Kawasaki logo is permanently imprinted on the bottom of my right foot.

How We Tackle Ice Cream

Rockstar Sled Team

Yesterday Connor's school was closed. So, my friend Kim took Connor and her daughter Tia sledding up at Gorgoza Park in Park City. Their friend Ella joined them and they had a wonderful time. I forgot to send Connor with sunglasses, but fortunately Kim had a spare.

Sweet Potatoes? Oh, hell no.

Based on her lack of enthusiasm for "solids", we have decided to delay. We'll just stick to the bottle for now.

Rockin' Party

Connor's 4th Birthday Party Extravaganza was a HUGE success. We hosted 10 kids for the afternoon and enjoyed snacks, birthday cake, gifts and a lesson on African drumming. It was more like a lesson on "How hard and loud can 10 preschoolers pound on drums". But, they had a great time so who am I to judge.
My parents came out for the weekend, which helped make the birthday very special for Connor. We only wish more family could have enjoyed the festivities. As you'll see from the photos, it was a rockin' good time!
