Four days....One pair of undies...

Well, I just wanted to thank my Mom and Dad for letting me crash and trash at their house this weekend. For those of you who don't know...a word of advice, just follow your premonitions. Friday, my Dad called and said, "Why don't you come spend the night and go to our ward breakfast in the morning." And I had a feeling like I should just stay in Logan, but I couldn't help thinking, "MMMM...PANCAKES!"

So I figured WHY NOT!!! Then I had a feeling like I should drive my Pathfinder down, but I figured I might as well take Miner's truck (even though it hadn't been driving all that well lately) because I had the dog...so, I loaded the kids and all the crap and the dog in the truck. And then I thought, I should take some extra clothes just in case. But then I thought, that was just more crap I would have to haul, so I didn't...and the truck broke down on my way to my parents house, OF COURSE!

So I left the truck in Morgan and called my mom to come get me and the kids. The dealership had to order a part in and it didn't come until MONDAY...so now, my overnight trip turned into a three night trip.

Luckily, I have great in-laws. Bonnie and Roger drove up to my parents house and picked up the dog, so I didn't have to deal with him all weekend. (Thank you so much for that, I owe you guys big time! You can both add it to my tab!)

The breakfast WAS really good. They had very yummy ham and pancakes! And I did get to spend the weekend visiting with Sara and that is always fun...and I did play cards with my Dad and Go-Go. I am pretty sure my Dad cheated since he won by, like, a hundred points!

Now, you might think my story would end here, but you would be wrong. On Monday, I went to pick up my truck and I got to the dealership and everything was ready to go. So we unloaded the car seats and the crap and the kids from my mom's car and loaded them up in the truck. We said good-bye and my mom began driving away. I start up my truck, and the check engine light comes back on. I DIDN'T EVEN MOVE FROM THE PARKING SPACE!!! So, I jump out and flag my mom down, and go back in the dealership...it turns out my truck is still broken...so we unload all the stuff and the kids and load it back in my mom's car...and I have to wear the same pair of underwear for one more night...I know TMI, but hey, no one is forcing you to read the my blog!

So let me just reiterate, if you have a premonition to bring extra clothes on an overnight trip, you should probably bring 'em....consider yourself warned.

Livin' the Dream...

Sara gave all the girls this purple lip gloss at the twin's B-day party...Sierra LOVED it!!

Here's my Chubb-o baby! Lillian gained 3lbs and grew three inches in two months!! She is in the 95th percentile for her height/weight!!

My Dad is baling hay in Woodruff. My sister Sara and I got to drive out there, it was so pretty there. Plus, we had fun, because we left all the kids, except for Lilly, with my Mom.

There they are, gathering the candy like little fiends...Yeah Summit County Fair! A good time had by all...

I don't have much time to post, because I can hear Lillian waking up. But I thought you all would enjoy some pics. XXOO, Suz

My Gosh! My Baby turns 3!!

I can't believe my little girl is three! We had so much fun at her party. We threw her a beach party with some of her cousins, and some of her friends from the neighborhood. We have the cutest little girls that are Sierra's age in our neighborhood. They all play together really well. I just love my Sierra so much. For all of my friends (and Erica) about to have kids, it just changes your life in so many ways. It is just the most fun I have ever had, to see my girls grow and change every day and every year. It keeps getting more and more fun, too. I love talking with Sierra and seeing life through her eyes. I just believe children are a special gift, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do. I am so proud to be a mom. I have been given two of the most beautiful girls. I am so blessed and so lucky. Sierra has learned to do so much this last year, she just talks ALL THE TIME!! She is a little motor-mouth! Even her nursery teacher told me, "Boy, she just talks and talks!" She makes up dances and performs them for me and Miner. It is so funny! If I catch her on video I will have to post it, because she is so funny. She loves her "movies" (which is watching Dora or Mickey Mouse cartoons on t.v.). She loves swimming and running through the sprinklers. She loves Mac Mac and Cheese, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches. She is very "lonely" when Dad goes to Alaska, because she "misses him so much!" She loves to help mom with Lillian and gives her tickles and kisses on her nose. She loves to draw especially with sidewalk chalk. She loves Mom to draw her a Hopscotch! She loves playing with her cousins and visiting Nanny and Papa, and Grandma and Grandpa Miner's. These are just a few of the things she loves and has learned this year. We just measured her and she is 35 1/2 inches tall!! I just can't wait to see what this next year brings for her. Her mom loves her SO MUCH!

AHH Memories...

My good friend Becky did this on her blog, and I posted a memory for her, so I guess now it's my turn. Just leave a comment with a favorite memory you have of me. If you leave me a comment then I will go to your blog and leave a memory for you, too. Thanks.

July ALREADY?!?

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well people, tomorrow I turn 31! Can you believe it? Trust me I don't look it at all! I am still totally fabulous, even after two kids. You may ask, what are you planning on doing for your big day...well, after I throw the big parties in New York and L.A. I think I will hit the scene in Vegas! I hope you will all be there, it should be a good time. If P-diddy and Jessica Simpson show up, it will be a rager! So get your party on, people! XXOO Suz

Lillian McLaine Miner!
