Snowbird 2009

The view off our balcony. 10th Floor.

Every year the Schofield family goes to Snowbird for their vacation. The past two years we haven't been able to make it due to bed rest in '07 & being too far away in '08. Finally this year we reserved us a room. We've been looking forward to it all year but then Nick switched jobs a few weeks ago & couldn't get the time off {sniffle}. Kendra & I have still had a lot of fun up here, even if she is a turd.

[I just googled turd to make sure I spelled it right & found some pretty funny stuff]

Anyway, we've went swimming 4 days in a row now & Kendra is LOVING it! We also did the bounce houses which K decided it was way more fun to lay there and be bounced than to bounce herself. So she spent the entire time on her back, kicking her legs & squeeling - that's what he said.....lol. I almost erased that last part but left it in for you Nat. She's my dirty minded friend that says that joke a lot. Little'ole innocent me would never think up such things.....hee hee!

The Terrible 22 Months

I've had a rough day and need to vent so here goes. She, and you all know who I'm talking about, is a MONSTER. I feel like all day has been a constant battle with no winner. First thing in the morning I say "good morning baby" and she says "I wanna cookie". I make eggs, she cries for "cereallllllll". I give her milk, she wants "jew". One thing we agree on is swimming, she loves it, would live at the pool if she could, so we go "simming". She never wants to leave so first tantrum of the day almost results in drowning. Bath time is a chore as she likes to wrap her legs around my neck when I lean her back to wash her hair. Then it's time to get dressed, oops I mean a wrestling match. One point goes to Mama, only because I'm physically stronger. She brushes her teeth while I do her hair, which she pulls out about 5 seconds later (see picture). Usually this is when she wants a movie and then demands "MORE, MORE, MORE". Now for lunch....what should I make? Doesn't matter cuz she ain't gonna eat it. Finally it's nap time but wait.....she needs her silky, her baby & her bunny.

{a moment of silence please}

This is when I regain my composure & get ready for round two. The rest of the day goes pretty much like the first half. As if it's all not frustrating enough, I get to show off my great parenting skills to an audience most of time because I'm a freakin' gypsy. AND yes, I'm totally feeling sorry for myself right now but at least I know it.

I don't wanna grow up!

I know it hasn't been that long ago since she actually did these things but it still makes me laugh. Grandma D started this new obsession where they pretend Kendra can't walk or talk. She wraps her up in a blankie while Kendra pretends to cry, then Grandma hushes her with a lullaby. K's fave is when Grandma helps her walk & says things like "big girl & so big". Kendra LOVES it. Daddy hadn't heard of this game but when we got settled in the trailer, Kendra showed him how to play & now he's a pro. He taught her how to say "goo goo, ga ga" & pinches her cheeks and says "coochie coochie coo". Once again, Kendra goes bananas & thinks it's hillarious. What did we ever do without her?

OUR SUMMER SO FAR......picture overload!

I'm a Loser Baby.....so why don't ya kill me!

That's right, I'm a lame-O Blogster & I won't bore you with the many excuses that I REALLY do have. Anyway - just a little update on the Schofieldians. We've moved again, this time to Rock Springs Wyoming. We have no idea how long we'll be here or where we'll head to next but seriously - what's new? We've done tons of fun stuff this summer but unfortunately I left my pictures back at the homestead in M town. Sooooo, I promise to post some most awesome pictures soon. Laters!
