Moving Right Along

The Shop floor was poured today with lots of late night work this week from Josh and lots of great help today! 

I HATE slippery shiny concrete surfaces! I can barely walk in my in-laws garage with bare feet without gritting my teeth.  I think I am going to be very happy with with this power trowel finish on my feet!

Uncle T & Brody on a break!  Love how he's drinking and driving my 4 year old in the lift!

We had a surprise visit from Mr. Hamby this morning and I'm glad he showed up to help!  I am sure the guys were too. 

The metal is being delivered at 3pm today so Josh is going to have a very busy weekend in front of him.  I'm thinking we should be having some margaritas by a pool tonight to prepare for another long day.

Late T-Ball Layout

Though it was a little a lot crazy to have both  boys in sports this spring, it was great in a lot of ways!  We were fortunate enough to have practice on the same night at the same location with enough space in between that we could handle it even on single parent nights.
It was great for Brody to get to be the center of our attention for an activity and we met some wonderful new friends thanks to T-Ball! (But I am really glad its over!)

Ten on Tuesday

1. Hanging at home with the boys today after Boone spent Monday afternoon throwing up!  
2. My scale is slowly recovering from the shock I gave it after a fun cabin weekend with Josh and the Roberts'.  
3. The boys are a week into their short summer hair cuts with no sun to keep their poor heads warm.
4. The shop is more than half way done and is going to stay that way for three weeks (Cabin Weekend, Hoopfest, and Mottet).
5. Interviewing a new realtor tomorrow.
6. Loving all of my new CAbi clothes, can't wait to see the fall line.
7. Wishing we were planning a vacation this summer!
8. Wanting to go run today but think that Josh's 5:30 tee time will probably keep that from happening.
9. Crossed one of the five Badger Mountain hikes off of my list for the year.
10. Pretty excited that there is a new Ramona movie coming out.

For My Running Friends...

I want to know what music you run to.  Just your favorite upbeat music or is there a method to your selection process.  Below is a pic of my current playlist for running - and because most of you know me, you won't be surprised to learn that these songs were methodically selected because they are all very close to 140 beats per minute.  Luckily, the list is long enough that, set to shuffle, I haven't gotten bored with it yet since I obviously can't run the full length of this playlist.

So, what do you like?  What motivates you?

(I crack up every time I listen to Hey Ya thinking of Jessica helping my 3 month old Boone shake his little body to that song!)

These Two

There are days when things get crazy and I forget to count my blessings. Days when this mom job is so hard that  I don't take the opportunity to be grateful for these two little beings that I've been blessed with the job of raising.  And it leaves me wondering am I everything that they need?  Do I wish time away?

 I do know that I am blessed that they are forgiving and easily forget what I may have done wrong yesterday, or even a moment ago, that their arms are ever ready to hug their mama.  I know it won't be like this for long...

Brody, I know that I am so lucky to look into these beautiful eyes every day and to get to listen to the most infectious laugh on the planet

I am so grateful that my Boone is has the kindest heart and the gentlest touch which can make all the bad things disappear, if only for a moment.

Thank you My Boys, for allowing me to be a better person and for enriching my life in a way I didn't know was possible.  Thank you for loving me unconditionally despite my shortcomings.  Thank you for being you... just you two...
