Top 10 things they don't tell you!

As I try to figure out this whole motherhood idea I keep finding new surprises that nobody ever told me about. I think these are the things they don't tell you on purpose, in hopes that you will become a Mom and that they can enjoy your mishaps. So that is why I am writing this post! For all of you soon to be Moms, or else to those of you who have a 2 year old and are beginning to feel baby hungry.

So here they are the top 10 things they don't tell you...

1. At some point you will get poo up your arm and be okay with it.
2. At some point you will find yourself soaking wet as you frantically pull your child from a "self-contaminated" bath tub.
3. At some point you will consider 5 hours of sleep a tremendous blessing
4. At some point you will remember the days you would wear your nice shirt/pants then put them back in the closet. Trust me you will be washing them after every wear!
5. At some point you will be sniffing your childs bum.
6. At some point you will be surprised at how you are exhausted at the end of the day and you got nothing done.
7. At some point you will smile at your husbands overwhelmed face as he only had to babysit for 3 hours.
8. At some point you will think about your younger years and you will only be in your mid twenties.
9. At some point your child may blow out on your mother nice couch (bless microfiber).
10. At some point you will find that letting your little one "cry it out" is not an easy thing (haven't been able to yet!)
And at some point you'll forget any of that happened and do it again! :)

A Few Family First's!

We spent the weekend up at my parents cabin with Mitch's Family (Matt, Kiera, Amy, Dean). To get into the cabin it is a 3 mile snowmobile ride. Mitch and I were talking on the way up that we could be boarderlining child abuse with this adventure. His mom agreed when she exclaimed "you know she is not a dog... You can't just take her anywhere!" Admittedly, I was a little bit worried but we bundled her up in 4-5 layers and zipped her up in my coat! Upon arriving at the cabin she was sleeping peacefully in my coat and seemed to love the bumpy ride! She fits right in!

Yep, she's in there!

She didn't wiggle much with all her snow clothes on!

Ellie took her first dip at the Bear Lake Indoor Pool. She seemed pretty indifferent about it all, but I think inside she loved it!

Swimming with dad, What a Hunk!
