Friday confessional

I confess...

I don't like college basketball (or pro basketball for that matter.)
and I don't care that BYU lost last night.

(do you think I could be excommunicated for saying that?)

I confess...

It irritates me when my husband gets all worked up over sports on TV
cuz I've never seen him that excited to see me.

I confess...

I think that "Jimmer" is a stupid nic name.

I confess...

That most of the time I secretly really enjoy the quite, alone time I get while Sam is watching sports.

I confess...

That I'm still going to give him crap for choosing sports over me cuz then he feels like he owes me.

yap, I can be manipulative like that. :)

I feel so much better now that I've gotten that off my chest.

Who's ran 100.7 miles this year? It's totally me!! Who deserves a trip to Copper Falls Spa for a massage and pedi? Also, totally me!
I missed my first race of the year, the St. Patty's Day 5K. I know, sad :(. This race is the first race Heather and I did last year. The first race of my "I'm a runner" era, so I was really looking forward to running it again and seeing how much I've improved. Plus today was sunny and like 60 degrees compared to last year's race which was snowing and 17 degrees! It was a great day for a race. But I missed it for a good cause. Nate was testing for his yellow belt in Taekwando. Which he rocked by the way! I'm so proud of him!! And even though I missed my race I got to go run Mitchell Creek Canyon with Bryce. It's a difficult 7 mile round trip trail, lots of ups and downs and jumping across rocks and the wind doesn't help, but it goes by much faster than the boring old treadmill.
So, my awesome run plus taking a nap the last two days plus going out with Heather tonight plus already deciding that we are skipping church tomorrow have all helped me to survive Sam's absents the last 4 days. He has been in Vegas watching the college b-ball tournaments, and I have been here losing my mind! I adore my kids, and was really looking forward to them have a three day school week last week so we could do some fun things together, and we have, yesterday we climbed the rock and the weather has been so nice we've spent a lot of time playing out side. But over all they have been out of their minds, crazy. Oy and the fighting and the arguing. Seriously if I have to hear this conversation one more time someone is not going to live through it.
"yes you did"
"no I didn't"
"yes you did"
"no I didn't"
"yes you did"
"no I didn't"
"yes you did"
"no I didn't"
"yes you did"
"no I didn't"
Or any other variation of it. "yes he is", "no he isn't" or "yes they are", "no they aren't". Oh my gosh. I tell ya, It's killin me. Any way, this started out as a positive post about my 100 miles and I'm not sure how it turned in to a rant about my crazies. The point is, I'm so verry, verry glad that my dear, wonderful, awesome, husband is coming home tonight and so glad that we are sleeping in tomorrow, which by the way is Abby's 9th birthday! So, that's all I've got for now cuz I'm going to dinner and a movie with Heather, yay us!!

Shakespeare by 5th grade boys

I'm not super familiar with A Midsummer Night's Dream but apparently this is a scene from that play which has been adapted by the boys and preformed for their families. Bryce is the baby in the "carriage". It's a little, okay a lot, hard to understand. sorry.

breckenridge, co

Breckenridge is such a cute town. At the begining of the week I was there with my family. We went sledding at a super fun sledding hill. We also rode the Gondola up the mountain and took in the senery then soaked in the hot tub. Then I was able to spend some time there with some friends. On Saturday Sara and Raina and I spent 3 hours snowshoeing through the Mountains of Breckenridge. It was so beautiful! It was the perfect day and I have a new favorite sport. It was so peaceful and relaxing and I can't wait to do it again. Then on Tuesday Sammy got to go snowmobiling with the guys from work.

We Love Breckenridge!!
