Cutie Pants

Children’s Place always has the most awesome sales.  I just recently got a ton of shoes and clothes for the kids most of them costing $2.99 a piece.  I brought all my lovely goods home and the kids had a fashion show.  My children LOVE new shoes.  I have no idea where they get it from, certainly not me (yeah right).   Jameson was most excited about these new underpants and high top sneakers I got him.  He put them on and stayed in them all day.  And he looked so darling I let him. 

Mud Run 2010

I was doing the HCG diet a month or so ago and I realized that I was going to be on the diet (where you eat next to nothing and take the pregnancy hormone….crazy I know) for the mud run.  I decided I was not going to sit it out even though I had no energy and no food in my system.  I popped a nutri grain bar in my mouth and thought it would sustain me through the 4 mile run.  I mean I am a Ragnathlete after all.  I did finish the mud run but I almost passed out …for real.  I did finish however and am glad I did it.  It was a blast getting all dirty at the end and impersonating Nacho Libre stretchy pants (a new race day tradition for my running buddies).  I may have also totally biffed it while we were doing a jumping picture of us at the end due to my lack of control of my muscles.  We were Team Titan and adorable might I add.  Next race there will be no HCG and a much better finish time.

I have been trying to catch up on my blogging. Lucy's down for nap and the boys are playing in the lpayroom. I just caught a tidbit of the conversation between Weston and Jameson. "James listen the Holy Ghost is telling us to go play playdoh....let's go!"

Joe and Kara’s Wedding!

We are so happy to have Kara as the newest member of our family!  She is so great and makes my brother so happy.  Their wedding was beautiful and Taylor and I were lucky enough to be asked to be in the wedding party.  The wedding was beautiful and the reception was so much fun.  My childhood best friend (more like sister really) took my kids to her house during the reception so Tay and I could have fun at the reception.  Not that I don’t have fun with my kids……...just not with overtired kids at 10pm.  We literally danced all night.  I was a blast. It was so great to see cousins I haven’t seen in ages and have all of the family together at once.  It was a really awesome night.  Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Rozak!

Rehearsal Dinner

Joe and Kara’s rehearsal dinner was put on by my parents at an awesome ( I mean awesome) Italian restaurant called The Dove.  It had the yummiest lasagna I have ever had.  All the cousins (despite our best efforts) were running amuck and were so happy to be together.  It was also the first time Lucy was able to really interact with everybody.  Jameson formed an especially cute little bond with my cousin Matt.  His wife was sick so James quickly slid next to him and stayed with him all might.  Lucy made the biggest mess with her spaghetti and finally Taylor just fed it to her mafia style and she loved it.  It was a lot of laughing, a lot of food on the floor and a lot of love.

Sunday BBQ at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s

On our last day in Buffalo my Mom and Dad had a big BBQ with all the Rajczak family.  It was so great to have a relaxing day after all the hustle and bustle of the wedding.  I love my family and miss them a lot, especially when I see all of our kids together and getting to know each other again as adults.  Maybe someday one of them will come to Phoenix and visit (hint, hint).  Will is my cousin Kelly’s little boy and I wish I could put on sound byte of him on here.  He is the cutest little thing I have ever seen.  He talks like a little adult in a little kid voice and is super empathetic to anyone he thinks might be hurting in anyway.  Basically the cutest little thing imaginable.  I love Sammi and David and there special sibling bond.  They truly love each other and prefer to be together than apart.  They are so fun.  Olivia is a little spitfire and may be a 25 year old trapped in a 6 year old body.  It is so cute to see her be a little mother to my kids.  Weston and her made up a cute play the day of the BBQ but we never really figured out what it was all about.  We miss the Buffalo family so much but try to make sure we get out there once a year.  Here are some random pics of hanging out during our visit.
