Flying by

Seriously, where does the time go?!  Summer is going to be over before we know it. And school is just around the corner.

This weekend Ben and I are running in the Wasatch Back, Ragnar Relay Series.  Our amazing sister-in-law and aunt are coming to watch the girls for us.  They are going to have so much fun with them! But the Ragnar is a race that takes a lot of prep, not just training but organizing and planning.  And when the race is done I have 2 days to get ready for our cross country trip.

I somehow thought it was a great idea for me to drive to Nebraska by myself with 3 little girls.  And then from Nebraska, fly by myself with 3 little girls to North Carolina...fly back to Omaha, then drive back. What was I thinking!  The girls and I will be gone for about 3 weeks visiting family.  Ben couldn't take that much time off, so he decided to just come to North Carolina with us to see his family for the week.  He is meeting us out there and flying from SLC.  But my family is having a mini reunion the week before, and I wanted to go.  So in order to do so, I am braving the road and heading East!

So the next few weeks are going to be crazy, and I may be MIA for a while.  But since family is the ones who mostly look at this blog anyway...you can see the girls in real life rather than in pics! 

Yesterday I took the girls by myself to 7Peaks. We came home in one piece, and everyone was happy.  I was pretty proud of myself.  It gave me a little reassurance that I could travel with the kiddos and be fine. I have good kids. Gabby may be loud, but she is still a good little girl.  Charley is an angel, and is such a big helper, and Dani is perfect. Traveling will be fine....I just have to keep telling myself that!

We will be back mid July, in time for Gabby's birthday.  If you have talked to her recently, she has been excited for her birthday for MONTHS!  She has her friend invite list already picked out, and she wants a Tinkerbell party with a Tinkerbell cake.

Charley starts school in August sometime....I should really look that up.  But the week or so before is all the fun back to school activities and open houses to meet her teacher. It was fun last year, and we are looking forward to it this year. 

And miss Dani will be 6 months next week.  She is still sleeping like a pro, and eating solid foods. She is already really attached to me.  She is fine with others holding her, but if she sees me, and I'm not holding her, she panics.  I feel like it is really young for her to be doing that...is it?

If you've read to the end, congratulations! It was a random post.  I should be getting stuff done, but I looked at my computer and decided that this was a better use of my time....haahaa....sometimes I just don't think!
