Every time I plug in my phone to charge it, I find a lot of photos I forgot about, or discover some new artistic gems my kids have captured. For instance, this is the road trip from Orem to Boise from Cade's point of view:
Almost makes you think we don't need a van with all that sibling happiness and serenity going on in the back, huh?
I did get a new set of wheels come to think of it. SO WONDERFUL!!! Totally transformed my life:
Mary sent me home with this beauty after our visit there for Thanksgiving. While I was on crutches it made getting around the main level of the house SO MUCH EASIER. It now provides us with portable seating when Cade's friends come over and they all want to crowd at the dinner table together to assemble Legos.
It also made it possible for me to join my sister at the special Nordstrom VIP event. She pushed me around as we got facials, ate gourmet burgers, sipped Italian Soda, shopped for my mother's birthday present and tried on shoes. Or shoe, rather.
Notice the very cute maternity top she's wearing. It almost makes me excited about getting pregnant again. Almost.
There's no clever segue into these two pictures I found. Simply said, this girl makes me laugh!
Welcome to the "Ask Michelle" segment.
You've got delimmas? I've got answers. :)
Delimma: You are wearing a cast and can't get it wet. Washing your hair is a pain.
Solution: Spend 15 bucks at Fantastick Sam's and let them wash and style your hair better than you ever could. The problem with this is the next time your hair needs a-washin' you don't want to do it yourself.
Delimma: Husband is out of town. Still wearing the cast. How do you get the baby from your room to hers?
Solution: Crawl on your knees and drag baby on blanket. Does the job and does not traumatize baby.
Delimma: Want Oreos, but out of milk. Can't drive to store to get milk. Aforementioned husband is still out of town.
Solution: Cry. And then up the order for your next milk delivery by a gallon so this NEVER happens again.
Oh, and in case you were wondering what I did on New Year's Day--- I left the girls with a wonderful babysitter and Kyle, Cade and I joined my parents as we watched BYU's men's basketball team cream some team from California. Cade was mostly grumpy. He wanted to stay with the babysitter. And here we thought we were being fun parents by letting him stay up late and come with us. Go figure.
Happy Wednesday to you all!!!

laughed so hard at the bit about getting the baby from one room to another. I love it!
So many things made me laugh in this post! Are you guys still rockin the Subaru? Love the hair solution though I would be tempted to go often too. I love the feeling of having my hair washed and combed by someone other than me. And it's a good thing your blog is private since I'm guessing CPS would probably frown upon the baby dragging. :)
Haha that's hilarious that Cade was upset he didn't get to stay home! So ironic.
And yes, I love your solution for moving the baby! Genius.
Fun post, Michelle! I, too, love the one with you dragging baby Ruby. That baby is a doll!
I love seeing pictures of you in your home, and now being able to picture you in it!
I love the pic of you dragging Ruby. Too funny! I am amazed with how much you still could do with only one working foot (and as of now..no working feet at all!). I'm pretty sure when I get my bunions done I'll just lay in bed all day and watch LOST or something :)
