Rat Race....

Let it begin.. Saturday morning...
Alarm set for 6:30 - snooze it twice (Murph hadn't slept at all)!
Woke Macee up and did the hour makeup/hair prep for dance competition. Luckily Mick had stayed at a friends house the night before (thank you!!) so I didn't have to worry about him. Grandpa Dave was heading down to pick up Maddog, Gwire and Mays so at 8 I woke them up and got them dressed and breakfast.

I had to pack a couple diaper bags.. one for Grandma and Grandpa Madsen and the other for me and Murphy for the dance competition. Sent Macee with my sis to Kearns high school for the dance competition (thanks Janet) and went to Micks' first ball game at 9:30. Left the ball game at 10:30 to make it to Macee's first dance at 11:00. Hung out at the last dance competition (did I mention LAST !!! WOO HOO) until 3:30 and then drove to Syracuse to pick up the boys. I did have about an hour to visit with Vicki's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Callister, Martha, McKayla, Tyson and Melissa. We don't get to see them often so that was nice.

Drove back to get to Mick's last ball game of the day at 7:30. After that was over we drove Kira and Macee's other dance friend Cassidy home (to Orem) and came home at 11:00 with three little boys sacked out in their car seats! It was very easy to get all them to bed (HEHE since they were already to sleep). Even Mick, who doesn't seem to get exhausted, crashed on the couch while I was bringing in all the boys.

I finally laid my head on my pillow at midnight but no luck. I love my poor baby to death and I know that he is just miserable with his belly problems but I hope we get it figured out VERY soon. I can't continue going on 2 hours of sleep a night. Not complaining - trust me!! I am just a woman that likes my sleep. Anyway, we were very lazy today. I didn't even take the kids to primary because Mick was feeling a little queezy!

We are so excited about the big game tomorrow night. I am sure it will be the biggest game that has been at UV's field ever. I hope everything goes well for Coach and Debi. We will greatly miss their friendship. Anyway, I am putting a little video of Macee's "Pirate" dance on the blog. A few of you have been asking and it's not great because I couldn't get that close. Video cameras are not allowed and I kinda sneaked because my camera actually took the video. She is the cute little thing with white pantaloons and a white top with red in the middle. In the beginning, she is the second from the right! Hopefully I get better video at their final recital on May 27th!!! Until then, this is all you get! Have a good week!

Holy Cow...you really have this planning thing down with bringing the kids here and there! You are awesome!
Loved the dancing! Looks like fun!
About Murph...I don't know if you are formula feeding or not, but if you are...soy formula worked the best for Parker. He would be so gassy with regular formula and spit up a ton.
Jackson would take anything, no problem but Parker needed soy. Actually, to this day, Parker has soy milk when his belly is out of sorts!
Good Luck Girl!

Jess,
I just went to pyzam.com off to the left it has a list of things. I just clicked on blog templates(or something like that) and it gives a whole list. When you find the one you like, click on it and then the instructions are right there to tell you how to download it. Good luck!!

Help! How do I put video in my blog? I downloaded it onto photobucket but it won't play on the blog? Any tips?
