7 Daze

I decided while I'm waiting to switch my laundry I'll give a recap of the past 7 days . . . .

Richie, my bro in law became an eagle scout and joined an eagles nest full of Connolly's, during which all the ladies were left with all the children, I took a pic of Ben to try and distract him for just a minute longer, he's so cute. Congrats Rich! Friday morning we hit up the dinosaur museum with my brother and his family, good times! Baby Brynn loves Uncle TJ, so cute!!! Saturday consisted of a trip to Bridal Veil Falls and Cascade Springs, on the way there, my bro-in-law's motorcycle got a flat tire, luckily I was driving his truck and we all crammed in with the dog and baby in the back seat. TJ happened upon one of his mission companions. I arrived about an hour or so late to my friends baby shower, and then we baked and cleaned the rest of the day in preparation for Vince's baby blessing. Jesse made the best food I'm impressed. We headed up to Salt Lake just in time for a surprise for my brother-in-law Brian who has MS. Some generous donator dropped off a Segway at Dave's door. We were planning on a fundraiser to earn the $$$ for it. Anyway, Christy announced she's pregnant with a boy, hooray!!! Than the kids asked to come outside and watch their tricks, Dave road out on the Segway :-)

Things I find in the shower

Since being married I've found some interesting things in the shower, #3- a toothbrush, #2- carrot tops and to top it all off #1- a Popsicle stick. That's all I have to say.
I forgot to mention that I found MY toothbrush in the shower and no I did not put it there and yes we have a shelf full of new toothbrushes.

The day I completely lost it!

Today is the day I have completely lost it. I have generally been known as one with a keen mind but after today I'm starting to think maybe I've lost it. I woke up around 7 or 8 I'm not really sure. I read in my bed for a while and then went for a run. I ran a route that I don't normally run, but I found myself 3 blocks past my house and realized oh wait the TP'd house that means I passed my house it was weird and yes I ran right past it. Then when I arrived home I realized that the cookie dough I had taken out last night to bake was still just sitting out. I went to an appointment for my ipod ridiculous I know but it won't work with my Nike system lately. I walked and enjoyed the beauty of the day and arrived back at my car with 10 mins to get to work! I made it, pheww but tripped on the way up the stairs. Besides that I also realized I double booked my Thursday night. I'm sure there is more to this day but I'm going to play it safe and stay home tonight the last time I had one of these days I ended up with 6 stitches in my head!

Girl Trippin

The Connolly women -3, Katie, Laura, and mom around 1am after a great girls trip, so glad to be a part of this family, I couldn't live without a singe one of them!

My dream of 7 kids....

When I was little I always dreamed of having 7 kids, now that I'm older I think I'll start with 1 and see how that goes, anyway, this weekend Teej and I traveled to CA for my newest niece, Brynn Jasmine Andreadakis' baby blessing. Seven of my eight nieces and nephews from the Andreadakis side were there. We had a blast, it's amazing to see how cute/funny/smart they are. For example Kylie who is a sweet and wise smiley 3 year old was chomping on Doritos I told her they were mine to which she responded "pshhh, they're from my house". Later that night at a Greek festival my 10 year old extremely intelligent and first niece Payton, who has been writing stories for as long as I can remember said "let's get out of this urban jail" I consider myself intelligent, but I don't think I would have used those terms especially together, at least till high school. My nephew Cayden, who as a baby only like to be held by his mom and me, turned 8, today actually, we gave him some money to which he responded "yea more money for my scripture fund!" which his parents already secretly bought him anyway. It was funny to watch Cassidy, 5 and Ashton 2, manipulate each other and antagonize each other for attention. Ashton wanted to sit in his mom's lap, Cassidy was there, someone asked Ashton how old he was, he said 3, Cassidy antagonized him by flashing 2 fingers infront of his face, to which he responed, Aunt Liz, Cassidy hold you, Cassidy hold you! I love it, they learn young. Let's see Colby still sings while he eats, he's been doing that for a long time, I'll have to post a video from a couple years ago, although his humming is much more melodious now, and the new baby Brynn has yet to unfold. I would take these seven any day!:-) Other pictures include my UK/USA oxymoronism, the Lake, and a cool gate TJ wouldn't pose in front of so I had to.
