We had to go in her room a couple of times to tell her she needed to go to sleep and every time we opened the door we were greeted with, "I am so exciting!" She is four and we probably should correct her but exciting is really the only word she uses incorrectly and we just think it is so darn cute. And really how exciting is it to go trick or treating with your best friend! <br />
<br />
I started Halloween with my second half marathon! I really can't believe I have run two now! Who do I think I am? I ran with my friend Nicole so about an hour after we started running Nicole's family picked up David and the kids and they all headed over to the finish line to cheer us on. It was great to be able to run and have my family at the end!<br />

It was lots of fun but also very busy plus David could only stay one night so having two girls to myself and funny schedules and not sleeping in their own beds made for a few battles with Regan. But it is not very often that we can get all the kids together so it is worth it!<br />
<br />
We played at the beach which was covered in ladybugs! I don't mean we saw some ladybugs I mean there was one on you at all times! The kids loved it and caught many!<br />

We also got to relax a little while the kids ran wild on the roof of the hotel, we found a letterbox, and enjoyed some pool time. The kids were beat and so was I for about two days after getting home!<br />

Mim will be so proud! About a year ago Mim told us about letterboxing, my first thought about what letterboxing was is not appropriate to post but I knew if it was coming from my mom I must be wrong about what letterboxing means.<br />
<br />
People have hidden letterboxes (stamps) in parks along hiking trails to be found. When you find a letterbox you sign their "guest book" with your own stamp and trail name and then you can keep a book for yourself to collect the letterboxes you find. You can find more info <a href="http://letterboxing.org/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Regan is very into treasure hunts right now so I figured it was a good age to give it a try. So off we went to find a letterbox I thought would be easy. Then there was a creek to cross, fallen trees to climb through and that is when I decided this was not going to be easy with me, Regan and Ayla. So I found a new letterbox to track down. The next set of clues we followed were placed perfectly for kids to search for. We almost missed it but right before giving up we checked one more spot. I sort of just kicked around quickly not expecting to find anything and then there it was! <br />

Over the hill and far away...<br />
<br />
Well really there were 10 little ducks, one pony, 4 horses, 3 goats, 4 pregnant bunnies, 30 chicks, 1 emu, 3 mini cows, and a dog on our recent visit to the Ranahan side of the family. The country half of our family does not own all of those animals many belong to the neighbor but the neighbor was nice enough to let us come take a peek at her critters too.<br />

We had no idea what to get her. They plan on doing a lot of traveling so I thought of getting her a nice weekender bag but I think she already has plenty of luggage because they already travel a lot! So then I read something that said get them something that has to do with how they will spend their time and well David and I are hoping they will spend their time with the kids. actually I don't think we have to hope I am pretty it is a done deal. So I ran around with the kids getting pictures and gift cards and merry-go-round tokens and here is the gift we came up with. It was fun and we hope she likes it and can't wait to help fill up her time! :)<br />

Poor little girl right. Not so much. Just a dramatic little girl with some sympathy pains.<br />
<br />
Last week David broke his petella and is currently in surgery at this very moment having the fragments removed or having the pieces all screwed back together. They wouldn't really know until they got in there but I imagine someone should be out to tell me soon. Anyway David broke his petella and he had to keep his legged raised with an ice pack and was watching movies to pass the time. So when Regan fell on her knee playing outside she came running to me "mommy, mommy it hurts so bad I can't even stand on it!" She started limping in a very dramatic fashion and then pulled up one knee to point to it and say "this is the only leg I can stand on." As she was standing on the leg she couldn't stand on. :)<br />
<br />
So we propped her up next to daddy put her leg on a pillow, put cars on and gave her a little piece of chocolate to help with the pain. It was cute. Maybe it was bad parenting to play into her injury faking self, but I don't really care. It was funny and cute and I love that she is so in love with her daddy that she wants to be just like him even when he is broken. :)<br />

But I am not.<br />
<br />
David is not mushy. The only Valentine's day cards I get are funny ones. The only anniversary cards I get are funny ones. He tells me he loves me every morning before leaving for work but I don't think he will ever say the phrase love of my life. He loves his daughters too but he is not so amazed by the miracle that he wants more children. No he is happy with two and the toddler years have knocked life a little off the miracle chart.<br />
<br />
Until the other day. Because toddlers can do things now. They are little people who can actually learn skills not just eat sleep and poop. And Regan learned one of David's favorite skills of all, snowboarding. Really I don't think I have ever, ever seen a bigger smile on his face. We took the kids up to Tahoe for a day in the snow. A friend of ours told us to go to Soda Springs because for $20 you can switch between tubes, skies and snowboards for the kids. It was perfect. We were there for hours and both girls loved it. We tried Regan out on skies first. Look at those tiny skies, are they not the cutest thing you have ever seen?<br />

So then we thought maybe she just needs to warm up a bit so we went on the tubes which was so much fun that I thought we would never get Regan off.<br />

I thought the idea of skiing was over until next year but why not try one more time so I told her she could have hot chocolate with lunch if she tried skiing one more time. Amazingly she agreed. So after lunch we went back to try again but decided on trying the snowboard instead. As David took her up I found a spot at the bottom of the hill to play with Ayla. Thinking that this wouldn't really last long at all, and then I looked up and to my surprise David had let go and was running along side her!<br />

I really don't know what I like best about these pictures Regan's tongue hanging out in a Michael Jordon pose while she concentrates or David smiling with total pride. Plus I love the hand pump action too he just couldn't control himself.<br />

Well I am pretty sure I went back to 1983 for a couple of hours! Regan was invited to her first Roller skating party it was a blast and roller rinks DO NOT change. It was exactly the same as I remember walking into a rink when I was a kid. I do not live in the town I grew up in but the rink was almost identical to the one I remember, which I might add, the last time I went I broke my elbow. I really think I felt my arm twinge!<br /><div><br /></div><div>As you can see the skates have not been replaced. (Grossed me out a little, at least put new laces on!)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5-DLsO-EWePTSYj-NDvyyGmgiLeuUkLX_uaJ7T8Y8W32xuWgB2c1tWYbGEM39VO9eFZPEvBQdL2BIS3xfI-SXLHcfaK8oKQ7euvIrqJZuA4ZZb1j0r1zrjqROJpTBNtKfc3umzepLg/s1600-h/IMG_0819.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5-DLsO-EWePTSYj-NDvyyGmgiLeuUkLX_uaJ7T8Y8W32xuWgB2c1tWYbGEM39VO9eFZPEvBQdL2BIS3xfI-SXLHcfaK8oKQ7euvIrqJZuA4ZZb1j0r1zrjqROJpTBNtKfc3umzepLg/s400/IMG_0819.JPG" width="300"></a></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>The music was the same I can't even remember the last time I heard <i>Eye of the Tiger</i>!</div><div><br /></div><div>The smell was the same.</div><div><br /></div><div>The carpet was the same.</div><div><br /></div><div>They still had the same lamppost style lights along the carpeted wall.

There are some not so obvious consequences of my not working. I guess it really comes back to more money but there are things I find myself doing to try and save money. Like shopping at less then foodie desirable grocery stores, which by the way my friend is able to make look good just look <a href="http://www.nicolefieldsphotography.com/blog/?p=1641">here</a>. I find myself clipping coupons, going way to long in between haircuts, wearing clothes that well basically I shouldn't. All of these I can somehow live with. I tell myself it is not forever we will get back on track and tacking care of girls is more important then clothes. I think I tell myself that one daily.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div>But today I think I did try a money saving option that may not have been worth it. First let me tell you this is $50 I saved and we used to do it almost monthly so I was thinking shot I could save $400-$600 a year! And so I did it myself. Are you ready to hear. I shaved Piper. Now simply saying those words does not sound that bad but the fact is the dog is hairy! Plus she was getting dread locks so it was time. So if you are brave enough to continue on and see the small dog I removed from Piper today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwisnj2LAYyDqJj4P46lpeJn06JKGzo6Y-ohUCKaK10e1-_rsFOcHqPxoQYaEb96ipCG5ScImyVw2B6vpkf4Awv_uJvjnRi_6E5qZj2oiVX2QZ_50uU2Tcj1ZfcQ-HKE2Jc1oxzrXAw/s1600-h/_DSC0025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJwisnj2LAYyDqJj4P46lpeJn06JKGzo6Y-ohUCKaK10e1-_rsFOcHqPxoQYaEb96ipCG5ScImyVw2B6vpkf4Awv_uJvjnRi_6E5qZj2oiVX2QZ_50uU2Tcj1ZfcQ-HKE2Jc1oxzrXAw/s320/_DSC0025.JPG" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div>Now there are a few things I can predict from sharing this picture. First my brother in-law, Keith, will say "and that is reason number 304 not to have a dog." Second someone will not read the posting and just look at the picture do a double take to try and figure out if that is a dog or not. And thirdly the next time I think "maybe I should shave Piper" I can look back at this post and think long and hard about if I really want to do that again.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Also I have to say if Piper could speak she may choose for me to NOT shave her again. Look at this poor puppy I think she hates me. I know she doesn't trust me. For the rest of the day she would not come if I called her. :(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6FvZ5tlLwIoiok-1eErGwkWO4OSRtZK7xeIQX-oqmmf5dhsMtqu3k7U86yVcNd3-frNlUyIXdO7EBWTmEkGSmb7oJMAOy7Z5iEqr7KcW7RbE70rUH3_cJd-MuoKAIrGCsmd0GuYuwAg/s1600-h/_DSC0027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6FvZ5tlLwIoiok-1eErGwkWO4OSRtZK7xeIQX-oqmmf5dhsMtqu3k7U86yVcNd3-frNlUyIXdO7EBWTmEkGSmb7oJMAOy7Z5iEqr7KcW7RbE70rUH3_cJd-MuoKAIrGCsmd0GuYuwAg/s400/_DSC0027.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Little Miss A turned one last week. We had just a small gathering of friends and family to celebrate. And good thing because our poor little girl was not feeling well. In fact after five days of antibiotics we found out today that she is not getting any better. So now she is on a stronger medication and an inhaler. Not the way to start your second year. But we celebrated her first year and even though she wasn't feeling well I think she enjoyed her day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here she is with her sister and their cousin Wild Jack. Jack needs his own post to explain the wild and I may even need to include a video for the first time on my blog simply because a still picture cannot show the wild side of Jack.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then we had cake. And I so badly wanted a cake topper from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lollipopworkshop">The Lollipop Workshop</a> but it was closed for the whole month of Jan. :( So I had to try and make one myself. I don't think I did that bad, not quite as cute but it would have to do. I also made a cute little birthday hat for Ayla which she of course refused to wear. Oh and I made a checkerboard cake! I loved it and was so happy that it turned out because you really don't know until you cut the cake! My sister got me the kit oh about nine years ago and think this is only the second time I used it. I may have to pull it out more often!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ayla didn't really know what to do with the cake. I so badly wanted her to dig in and get it all over the place. I think it is so cute when the kids do that but alas she barely ate it. Most of the frosting on her face and fingers got there because David and I kept sticking her fingers in the cake trying to get her to taste it. Come on kid it is sugar you should be going nuts! But at least Regan and Avery had no problem walking right up and showing her just how to dig in.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Lost in the blogging world unable to sleep jumping from site to site based on photos alone. And if I opened a blog and it was to busy or not pretty I left. I was really to exhausted to read I just wanted to look at pretty pictures. You would think I would be sleeping after two days of being with a sick three year old who has been so cranky I have to remind myself not to get angry she is sick and also done with being in the house and watching movies. Anyway back on the subject I came across <a href="http://inchmark.squarespace.com/">inchmark</a> and it may now be my favorite site to visit. I already have plans to make two of the projects she has posted so don't be surprised if you see some of this coming your way. I really think my blog travels have taken me to this site before I remember the layout. But this time even though I was not in the mood to read I did this site is probably why I couldn't sleep. I loved everything. Here is the picture that took me there. I think I love it even more because it looks like drawings Regan is currently doing of people. I love kid art! I can't say enough I wish I was her!<br />

Although I probably could be cleaning something, doing laundry, making a grocery list but isn't that always the case?<br />
<br />
It has been so long what to talk about there is so much so don't be surprised if in the next few days you see a few post dated items that make it look like I haven't skipped a beat! :) Last week we were in San Diego and the weather was so nice. NOT at all rainy or windy and it was so nice to enjoy some sunshine. We also enjoyed just visiting we had no big plans just to hang out with Marisa, Keith, Sam and Elise and how nice it was. We enjoyed some time at the park, sometime at the beach, and time at the house!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few pics from our park time. The girls rode their bikes, and now the question is do I tell the story of my poor supervising. It just about killed me and my sister. Well here it is, Sam was going back and forth about whether or not he was going to the park how he was getting to the park, bike or scooter or walk. Anyway I was walking ahead with the girls and Elise was quite a bit faster then Regan so I was between the girls or back with Regan or ahead with Elise trying to keep them happy. Well then the sidewalk started to go downhill and I was back with Regan and we were coming to a corner when Elise started to roll faster and faster she was losing control I was in panic! I started running but I was too far. Oh it killed me to watch her roll toward the street. Luckily there were no cars coming but I could hear her calling for help and I coudn't get there. :( Thank god she was able to make the turn and not go in the street but she had her first good bike crash. Poor little thing she hit the grass so no injuries other then I am sure she was scared to death!<br />
<br />
But that brave little girl got right back on her bike. It took awhile to settle down but then she got on that bike went to the park and had fun. I know she will never remember the day but she just might remember the feeling. I hope she will continue to be brave and not let the falls in life ever bring her little go getter spirit down. Sooooo sorry my little Elise!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Last weekend we were up in Nevada City and decided to take the girls to the Empire Mine, and I am so glad we did! There is a beautiful old cottage there that is rarely open and it was open along with cookies and apple cider. Santa Clause was in another building, and he was an excellent Santa. They had all of the equipment buildings open and working. There were blacksmiths at work one even made me a salt spoon! I loved the mine it was a much better place to see Santa then the mall. I think it will become a new tradition in our family!<br />

First it means bedtime is nearing! Second they our so stinking cute together. Ayla could splish and splash all night long if we let her and Regan carefully picks out toys for Ayla to play with before ripping them away and trading it for another. Luckily Ayla seems to find this routine funny. They crack me up I love to watch them play together.<br />

Regan and I were working on an art project using glitter when Regan got close to the cup of glitter and decided to blow as hard as she could. So no I didn't put eyeliner on my child nor was this halloween. It was simply a three year old figuring out just what happens when you blow on glitter! :)</span></span></span></span><br />
