Thomas The Train

Heber Valley Railroad has a Thomas The Train weekend every year. I thought it would be fun to take Jack up this year. Just Jack and I, a very fun mommy-son day, so glad we went!

There was a petting zoo, Jack loved this pony! As you can see from the kisses, he brushed his hair, too. There were big huge bubbles...

There was this awesome train that was steaming and huffing and puffing. Jack is looking at the other train yard in the first pic.

There was a lego land of trains. Here is Jack sharing with this little boy. He stole one of the trains and was in heaven... Unfortunately, it dropped while we were riding the real train.

Watching the views from the open windows of Thomas the Train. And showing off our Super Cool Tattoo:)

Vermont Marathon

The shoes that pushed her through:)

Sleepless Night

Isn't this the cutest sleeping child?

Unfortunately, that is not how our night went last night. I understand when parents of newborns have sleepless nights, the child has no schedule, they need to be fed every 2 or 3 hours, but when they are almost 2, shouldn't this regulate?

Last night:
9:30 p.m. Jack falls asleep and is sleeping in own bed
10:30 p.m. Jack falls out of bed, but am able to comfort him and get him sleeping fairly quickly
11:00 p.m. Jack is having a nightmare. Can not wake him up, or stop his crying until almost 12:30 a.m.
1:30 a.m. Jack decides to wake up and it is time to play
3:00 a.m. I am very tired, Jack still wants to play
3:30 a.m. I go to bed, Jack brings his pillow, comforter, and extra pillows he can find into our bed and plays on top of us
5:00 a.m. Jack finally falls asleep
6:00 a.m. I usually get up to go to Bootcamp. I am wide awake, but decide to try to go back to sleep because have had no sleep
6:30 a.m. Finally am able to go back to sleep
8:00 a.m. I get up to get ready for work
9:00 a.m. Dress sleeping child to get him ready for daycare

Prediction for the day, Jack will not nap or take a short nap and similar story tonight. He sometimes gets off his schedule like this and our nights look like this for a week or two. Agh!!! I have a headache!

Mother's Day

I am borrowing this post from a friend. Thank for posting this Lex

Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Peed on,
and I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming childso doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
Or waited hours to catch the next smile or laugh.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment orthe satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.

Before I was a Mom,
I never knew how lucky I would be to be a Mother.
I never knew the joy of seeing your kids face light up when they see you.
I didn't know the strength,
or the knowledge,
or the patience... and sometimes lack of patience,
that I had within me.
I never knew what an honor it would be to be a Mother.

Spring

Ahh! Beautiful Spring!

The Month of April

So many things have gone on that I haven't had a chance to post about lately!

First, April 25 was Jack's Name Day, for his Patron Saint Marek. We full out celebrated:) Jack got a tool box, puzzle book, wind fans, and his own doctor's kit. Dr. Jack is very careful with his medical examinations:)

We also went to Chuck E Cheese to celebrate, but unfortunately forgot the camera... Again!

My new car

Flying a kite for the first time

and running for about 1/2 a mile down hill in 4 inch heels:)
