Wasatch Back

This last weekend Brett and I got to spend almost two entire days without the kids and only got two hours of sleep. Which makes it sound a lot dirtier than it really was!!! We spent last weekend racing from Logan to Park City -on foot. Yes 181 miles on foot with ten other crazy people that we happen to be related to. Our team name was Elinor's team after my grandmother who passed away over ten years ago. All but two of the team members were either sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters or spouses of. Surprisingly this event is really fun and we had a great time. It took us 29 hours and 36 minutes to finish and we beat our expected finish time by about 20 minutes. And my wonderful Uncle Clark signed us up for 2009!! While Brett and I were enjoying our romantic weekend. My parents took our kids to the Dinosaur Park.

Disneyland

We just got back from the happiest place on Earth. It was so much fun. Ava was really good, but she was terrified of the characters and too short to ride most of the rides. For Grace the vacation was magical. She really belived that the characters were real and the brave little girl rode on every ride (except The Tower of Terror) that she could. We went with our good friends the Andersons and had a great time with them. I am already looking forward to our annual Spring trip to Disneyland next year!!

Just your average trip to the doctor

Yesterday I had to take Ava to the doctors. By the time we got everyone loaded up in the family sedan, unloaded Gracie to go potty one more time, reloaded Grace, ran back in to the house to get both girls dolls, got back in the car, ran back inside to get the keys, and parked at the hospital we were only ten minutes late for our appointment. Which is pretty good for us, until I went to check in and the receptionist let us know our appontment was for the previous day. But the good people at Grow Up Great found a way to squeeze us in. Which was a good thing because in the span of about ten minutes of getting in everybody got to use to fun toilet at the doctors, including Ava. Who is not potty trained and since I did not have an extra diaper with me, .she went through the rest of the appointment and the ride home with no diaper on. It goes without saying Ava's pants, my pant's and the carseat cover got thrown in the wash when we got home.
