Week 2 of 365

Mon. Jan. 9

We finally put our chore chart into action!!

Jace did his chore with a smile.

He got to vacuum all the tile with this awesome little vacuum.

Just his size!

Tues. Jan. 10

Soph practiced the letter "A" again today.

She's can almost write it all by herself.

She has the sound down too.

She finished off her lesson with a stamp and some playdoh.

Good work Soph!

Wed. Jan. 11

RUN AWAY!!!

That's what I kept doing.

How can a girl so little make such a BIG mess?!

I tackled her room today.

I have to admit, I've neglected cleaning it up since before Christmas.

Poor girl!!!

I'm glad she didn't trip over something and really hurt herself.

It only took me all day to clean it all up.

A new room is in the works!!

Thur. Jan. 12

Every Thursday, I get to play Volleyball with an amazing group of friends.

I am with most of them EVERY. DAY. of the week.

I can honestly say, they bring me so much joy.

I love my Thursdays!

Most of all, I love who I get to spend them with :)

Fri. Jan. 13

Soph sported my fun hat while she had a sing/dance party ALL morning long.

Work it girl!!

I'm guessing the hat got too hot??

  She threw it off and made this move. 

Maybe the hat throwing was part of the act??? I'm sure it was!

Washing the car with Dad

We ended our day at Mannie and Ty's Cub Scout pack Mtg. 

(Ty is the one with the yellow hankie.  Mannie is over to the left by the flag.)

Aren't they CUTE??   

I'm so proud of Mr. Man posting the colors.

It's fun to see them growing up and enjoying the same things together! 

Sat. Jan.13

I started my morning off with 24 degree weather

"hills sprints" with some of my favorite people. 

We ran over to that LARGE hill behind us,

sprinted up it as fast as we could, ran all the way down and around

then back.

We did that 2 more times.

WHEW!!!

I burned 610 calories in 20 minutes.

I usually burn that in like 60 minutes.

HARD, HARD HARD!

But, totally awesome!!

Off to Char's house to...

eat cookies!!!

Oh and to visit with Grandma and Grandpa Rodriguez.

We gobbled down a yummy dinner too.

Pasta Arribiata, tomatoes with fresh basil, olive oil and vinegar, a green salad, Italian sausage and peppers and homemade bread sticks.

You can't forget the homemade salsa.

Heeheeee!!!

I LOVE being Italian and Mexican!!

After dinner we went and watched the BYU Men's Volleyball team face off UCI for first place in the Country.

Can you say

AWESOOOOMMMEEE???!!!

Front row seats, BABY!!

The only thing that stinks,

I couldn't use my flash. 

It wasn't allowed!!!

Ugggh...no flash =blurry pictures...GRRRR!

Here they are all lined up getting introduced.

Gettin' riled up...ROAR!!!

And the game begins!

It was INTENSE!

It was the best out of 5.

They won the first 2,

THEN, they LOST the  3rd and 4th. UGH, they were killing me!!

They came back and ROCKED the last game.

It ended on an AMAZING block.

UCI got STUFFED big time.

MAN, I left there sweating, like I played the game.

THEY WON!!!!
Check out the coaches, hugging with the biggest smiles. 

I REALLY wanted a picture of the boys with the whole team. 

My brother told me to go over and ask.

EEEKKKK...I was a little scared, don't know why!

I'm such a nerd!

One of the guys went to sit down and I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if I could get a picture with all of them. 

He looks back at me and says,"Pshh, YEAH!!" Then he yells,"GUYS... picture time!!"  They all ran over SO excited to have their picture taken. 

Who'd have guessed!!

They grabbed the boys and lifted them up over the chairs.

I started shooting away.

I had NO idea how the pictures turned out...until I got home.

I have ALL these random people in my picture!

WHAT THE???

Really people???

Next time I will have to pay better attention to what is going on. 

Oh well, It was still SO much fun!

They were super sweet too!!

Pictures of good times!!  Make me smile.

GO BYU!!! First PLACE, baby!!

We layed our tired little heads down on these comfy little beds.

Char hooked us up with a nice hotel room to chill for the night!

They had the fluffiest pillows and handed out the yummiest cookies.

My kind of hotel!!

Thanks  for all the yummy food, the AWESOME game and wonderful hotel, Char.
You DA BEST!!

Sun. Jan. 15

Off to Grandma and Papi's

It's nice to have the boys old enough to be able to play games with now.

We played Speed, Go Fish and Double Solitaire.

 Cuddle time watching the new Napoleon Dynamite Series.

They laughed like crazy!!!

What a fun week!!
