I do love my kids I promise

but some days.....which has been this whole week! Maddie is entering the terrible two's I feel and Sammy is sleep deprived and an emotional wreck since Maddie has been waking everyone up at 5:30 each morning. Aghh.......but at least it is making me get my rear out of bed to go running. Anyhow, we tried a photo shoot yeserday as we were all trying to get out of our moodiness which worked out ok.

One funny thing I can think of this week is Maddie calls rocks "rockets" and loves picking them up and throwing them. She has also been watching wonder pets which pets is sounded "butts". And she calls my sister Missy "Missys" all the time. So cute. But such a little stinker!

Girls Night Out

While the men were at the priesthood session of Conference, we went with our friends to the Discovery Park (close by our house) and then out for icecream afterwards. The kids had a blast at the park, and Diana and I had fun chasing after them all because it didn't take long to keep losing them in that huge park. So that was OUR girls night out (sorry Ryder you are the only boy).

Sammy sayings for the day

"Mom, can you go to dot com on your puter (computer) so I can play some games?" Sammy asks this morning.

Conversation on our way to the park tonight
Sammy: Mom, are you going to die before I get growed up?
Me: I sure hope not, that would be sad.
Sammy (very matter of factly): If you had superpowers then you wouldn't get died!
Me: Nope, no superpowers here. Just a plain old mom.
Samy: Well I think you need to get superpowers and then you can get all the bad guys in town.

I guess she thinks pretty highly of me and my kung fu fighting skills or something! What a silly Sammy Jane!
