Our simple little life
People often look at me like I am crazy when I say to them that I am available anytime to play because my life is "boring". But I don't see how that is a bad thing at all. My life revolves around feeding, playing, and putting children to sleep and cleaning my home. Nice and easy. I told Jeff just last week how grateful I am, that besides some fear of profit sharing, I have no stress or worry in my life. Granted the pregnancy hormones help a lot, and I am much more calm then my usual high strung self. With everything so smooth lately even the last few days were taken in stride and bared very well by myself.
On Sunday we were suppose to go to Bountiful to visit the in laws and do the switch-a-roo with Brock. Well just three miles from Santaquin, Jeff was changing lanes and we slid. We spun around on the freeway and then slid end first into the ditch between the north and south bound lanes. It was really smooth and none of us were hurt. We miraculously missed a drainage tunnel by inches that would have caused us to crash . Just down the road, a truck going southbound had slid and flipped. The fireman and state troopers were swarming all over that to get the people out and assess the situation. Because of that we got a lot of attention. Every five minutes some man in uniform was walking to our car asking us how we were. Blake really enjoyed seeing all the fire trucks. Well... our tow was there in like a half hour and we got out with no damage to the car and were on our way home.
The next day I took the seemingly ok car to send Brock to school. Well I was pulled over by a very nice Cop and told I had a flat. Hey- it is hard to tell when the tire is flat when you are driving over inches of ice and snow. Well I got Brock to school, where the wonderful maintenance man Andrew put on my donut, led me to the tire place, and even had Terry's Tires put the 20 dollar bill on his account. So here is a shout out to Andrew who saved the day and who spent the whole time trying to convince me that Santaquin UT is the greatest place on earth.
Brock and Blake are great. Blake has taken to having fits (ok full blown temper tantrums). We have decided he is too old to get everything that he wants and he needs to learn. He will be in nursery soon- and he has to learn he cant steal every ones toys. The only problem is he will smash his head into things when he is really mad or try to bite you. Don't get me wrong - he is a really really good baby-but about once a day-if he wants to go outside and it is 20 degrees and he cant... cover your ears and wait for the storm.
Brock is the sweetest thing and would be reading by now if he weren't so naturally lazy and relaxed about things. He is doing really well though and should be reading very soon.
Well pictures might someday get posted if Blake would ever look at the camera or if Brock would make a normal face without trying to dance in front of the camera and blurring the image.
Jeff and I are great. Nothing new to impart. I have taken to wearing some not-so-maternity maternity clothes already out of the sake of comfort... shhh don't tell anyone. I don't seem to be ballooning so much this time around and haven't gained any weight yet. 15 wks down and only 22-25 left.
