We are lucky Uncle Sky could come visit us Conference Weekend.
When your baby turns one you can get a free cake from Albertsons. Tai and Tag share the same birthday Oct. 7th so naturally they should share the same cake.
Tai wanted this Tinkerbell outfit for her birthday instead of the bike we were going to get her. It was so funny listening to how she really thought she would be able to fly. I was then sad seeing her disappointment and not understanding why she couldn't fly. "...but I have wings".
Sometimes Tag will wrestle this bear. Super cute.Updating the blog is down on the list of priorities lately. Since I work now, it seems that my only free time is after the kids go to bed around 9:00. That's really when my day begins (at least my time alone begins). So, to my 3 readers of this blog, I apologize. Hey, I'm not complaining. I get to do what I love--be a mom and coach gymnastics. If only I could incorporate overseas travel every so often I would have the perfect life.
"There just aren't enough hours in a day" I have heard others say. This has never been me until now, and I like it.
This weekend Mark went to Shampoo-Banana. That's what the locals call Champaign-Urbana where the University of Illinois is located. He has to go to campus once a semester to meet in person with his professors and classmates. So far so good. He has only been lost one time so far compared to about 15 last time he was there in July. I am truly proud of him. He is becoming quite the traveler. He changed planes 2 times to get to Chicago and then had to find the right shuttle station and shuttle, he then met up with a total stranger who was hosting him for the night via http://www.couchsurfing.com/. Then he had to find where his classes were being held in random buildings on a huge campus. Then he had to find and walk to his hotel. Tomorrow he must find the right bus to the train station, take the train back to Chicago, (where at this point last July he almost go ran over by a bus), find a taxi to take him to another hotel then a shuttle to the airport the next morning. Whew! I find that kind of travel exhilarating, but for someone who is legally blind with Aspergers it is a lot to handle. That is why I am proud of him. He made it back in one piece last time and so far so good this time.

I know what you mean about hours in the day...but I like being busy rather than having nothing to do.
I didn't know Mark was in Illinois again! I'm out of the loop. I'll call you sometime this week.
hi meagan. i am one of the readers so I better comment. I'm sorry, I gotta tell ya, I don't think Mark has aspergers. The two people I have known with aspergers were way less functional, like saying embarrassing things during class to the teacher....that sort of thing.
Anyways, these pictures are so pretty. Your kids are the cutest. i need to come down to visit more often but school is killing me softly.
Everytime I go to call you it is the afternoon so you are at work! kbye
I am one of the readers too! I love to catch up on your family! The pictures of the Fall in Utah made me miss it even more desperately!
I hope your girls are doing well that you coach. I am sure they are!
Also, have you tried to some serious conditioner when Tai's hair is wet for that tangle? I hope it comes out!!! :)
And good job to Mark. I don't even think if I had better than 20/20 vision and super powers, I would be able to navigate myself all over a new city like that! Tell him good job!
