Rylee

If anyone knows Rylee she hates dresses. Now that she is a 7th grader some of there dances are semi-formal so we have been practicing wearing dresses. This is a little black number she wore to her etiquette dinner last spring. I do have to admit she looks really pretty when she want to.

Us

I haven't added any new photos of us lately, so I thought I would. This is me and Chris on our Anniversary.

X-mas

So who is ready for Christmas? Not me Not me!!! This is the time I hate. I wonder if I am forgetting anyone. Did I get enough gifts for others. Oh yea did I tell you that I HATE yes HATE wrapping presents. I usually take them to my mom (but I think she is catching on). Its Sunday and I am still stressing about gifts. How is everyone doing on the shopping and wrapping?

Hard Decisions

Hard Decisions
Does any one else have to make one in the next day or 2? Well I have to decide if I want to further my career at Vista or go part time to be a mom to Rylee and further my own personal career of..... that's the problem. I don't know what I want to do when I grow up. I have talked to Chris about going back part time and then going to school and there is the question again doing what when I grow up? Any Ideas??

Week In Review

Do you ever fill that this time of year all you are doing is running and running? This week was just like that for us. Between work, soccer and everything else I feel like I am drowning in all the day to day. On top of everything this week Rylee had an allergic reaction to the face wash we have been using on her face. So on top of everything else we had to throw in a doctors appt. The doctors appt wasn't bad but sitting at Wal-mart to get the prescription was the worse. So its Saturday and I bogged out of Rylee's soccer game. Does that make me a bad mom? Before you answer that we also have to go to SLC for a birthday party and then back to Ogden for a dinner theater. Can you say I'M TIRED!!!! Ok enough gripping I'm off to run run again.

Another Day

Rylee had her soccer game this morning against La Roca or as Mike her coach likes to call them La Choka. Rush (which is Rylee's team) lost 5-4 not bad. We finally put up our Christmas decorations. I will get pictures up as soon as I can. Hope every one is having a great weekend.

Week in Review

Finally its Friday....yes Friday. We had a very busy week, did anyone else? Chris as in Atlanta on Monday and Tuesday. Rylee had soccer on Tuesday Thursday and a game on Saturday. I worked tons this week. Well maybe not tons but it felt like it. Chris is working the day shift and hes not really liking it. We are almost done Christmas shopping only a couple more things to get. Rylee was told by her soccer coach that there are 18 girls practicing and training and by January he will need to cut 3 girls. We are keeping our fingers crossed that she is staying. Rylee has a game tomorrow and we will let you know how that goes.
