Mb just doesn’t like to sleep normal. She likes sideways better than straight on the pillow. She likes her blanket better than the sheets. I thought it was a phase but night after night we tuck her in only to find her sideways and without a sheet sound asleep a few minutes later. I’ve stopped [...]

Flowers. When was the first time you got flowers? Do you remember? I know MB will remember. Tonight wasn’t the first time but the face and smiles were just as special. Her lovebug gets her flowers. The father daughter dance, valentines day…this year he surprised with gorgeous orange flowers. Her favorite color. The look. The [...]

We have been “training” every Thursday night. MB and I do our girl talk runs and sometimes tb joins us…soccer has definitely increased her endurance. So this morning we got up at 6:30 and put on our ladybug uniforms and headed to fountain hills for the iron girl 5k. We had so many laughs and [...]

Last weekend we had such a great opportunity to watch the US Women’s soccer team play Ireland. To say Mb was excited is a slight understatement. She spent most of the day outside of playing her own soccer tournament making a sign to root on her favorite Alex Morgan. There were over 11,000 there to [...]

I mean it. It’s like those documentaries on spelling bees, scrabble. Crazy. This weekend was a big 2 day tournament, versus the 1 day ones that go on every weekend. So 100s of families are camped out tailgating outside for 2 straight days. We are talking families with crockpots serving up clam chowder. Moms with [...]

Today we enjoyed a lazy day around the house. I tortured myself with another circuit class at the Y. We then headed into town and had lunch, did a little shopping- found matching red tops for MB and I for our upcoming 5K in Dec. Now just to find matching pants and hoodies in black [...]
the 3 seeds
September 26, 2012 by 4 Comments
Tonight at dinner the topic turned to who MB was going to marry. “Mom, who do you think I am going to marry?” “I don’t think you have met him yet.” “You are probably right. Do you know what my 3 seeds are?” “No” (as I scratch my head 3 seeds???) “Smart, funny, cute” Ahhhh, [...]
