Once again the winner is.... Connor!!

Well we went to Uncle Mike yesterday for the kids teeth, the best pediatric dentsit ever in case you need one. And he took Connor's xrays and it's offical, he has a tooth coming in the middle of his upper palate just like I did. I said of course it's Connor!! We are very bummed but he is a little excited/nervous about the upcoming surgery. He wants to know how long he gets to miss school and can we video tape it. Poor kid. The other orthodondist who was talking to us has never had the problems I have had with the tooth moving back, so hopefully he should be good. Well after the tooth gets a hole cut around it and a large trench made so the tooth can slowly descend where it is supposed to be, THEN he'll be good. sigh

Eagle award

It was a busy day filled with Bonnieism's. I won't spell check that word. I drove ALL the way down to the scout office off of 285 only to figure out I'm supposed to be at the one in Lawrenceville. It was a long journey, but my mother in law was a good sport through out the whole thing, and the map icon on her ipod saved the day and got us where we needed to be. We picked up Eagle Court of Honor, hereafter known as ECH, invitations, programs, napkins, neckerchiefs, totems, a book from his grandparents and a statue from his grandparents and most importantly, I got his official certificate, his patch and then pins he gives to me and Kirk. I was a very cool thing to get that black velvet box! There is just so much to do and I'm not sure I know what I'm doing, but I'm excited anyway! The Excedrin is helping A LOT!
Meanwhile, Kirk is in New Orleans for trial this week, the judge is best friends with the attorney on the other side and not making a secret out of it, so pray for Kirk!!

Girls night

I just got back from a baby shower/girls night at a restaurant and it was so great! I had seriously considered not going because I was tired and didn't want to go spend money on dinner. But that was like 12$ for 5 hours of girls therapy! It was so great! I got to spend time talking with my new friends and ward members and more time talking to my best girlfriends. I feel like I came home more peaceful and centered again! Will someone please have another baby shower??

New Beginings

Well another hurdle has been jumped with flying colors! We had a very wonderful New Beginning's for our YW tonight. The new personal progress book is pink to celebrate that we are girls and so the whole night was pink! We had pink gumballs in vases on the tables and pink balloons coming out of them and homemade strawberry frosting on strawberry cupcakes and raspberry sherbet in 7up, it was very awesome! We got a lot of compliments and I think I did a good job on my part but I'm totally dissecting it in my head. So next thing up is a 1/2 marathon and a court of honor... wonder if I can use all this pink stuff for that???

Valentines

Ok I saw this idea on a blog and I loved it! But MAYBE trying to make them the same day I'm trying to get everything ready for new beginings and teach piano this afternoon was a bit much. Why do I do this to myself? Oh yah because I'm my mothers daughter! (love you Mom!)

Class of 2014

This morning I took Matt to the freshman festival at the high school. I took my SON, my baby to a high school event!! When the heck did this all happen?? He is so teenager, he has opinions that are totally wrong and unchangeable at this moment, just like every other teenager. I tell him what I would have done differently looking back at HS, he doesn't care, like every other teenager. Sigh. Sorry Mom and Dad, again. We've registered him for his freshman year of classes, it's amazing.

Monday morning debate

About 9:30 this morning I got back from dropping all the kids at school and was telling myself,
"self, you had a really long crazy busy weekend, you deserve to go back to bed for 30 minutes"
But then I thought
"If I don't run my 6 miles today I'll let me myself quit other days and then this half marathon is down the tubes."
The first voice was winning and I had my leg up to jump up on the bed when Mom calls! She is on her way to the gym, so even though all my good running socks (2pairs) are dirty and I'm totally tired I ran my 6 and I'm very glad. I really wanted to run outside on the greenway again but it was 32 outside, so I ran on the treadmill. I watched Yes Man which I've never seen and I wish one part wasn't in the movie but when Jim Carrey faints at the chicken farm I almost fell off my treadmill laughing. So new note to self, no movies that make you cry, it's hard to cry and run and breathe, and nothing too funny... hhmmm don't know what that will be yet.
