I just had a very depressing moment, I thought that I could maybe cinderella for halloween since I have this really fluffy prom dress from highschool.  I totally thought that it was going to fit and maybe even fit me better then when I was in highschool.   Well that dream was shattered it not only doens't kind of fit it just doesn't fit.  I hope that it is either one of two things, my little sister borrowed it and had it tailored, or my boobs have just become much much bigger since highschool.  

So i know I need to update.  That last picture was not a pretty one.  That happened 2 1/2 years ago at bear lake.  Hope turned one on the twenty first of october so I will post some pictures of that soon.  I am totally freaked out right now because I need to take away my two year olds binky, and I really need to potty train her, and I need to put her in a big girl bed.  I have realized that she was probably ready for all three of these things awhile ago but I am so not ready and I need to be.  It is really hard to make my kids do hard things I have decided.  I hope that everyone got to go outside today even if it was only for a minute it was so beautiful.  

This was a crappy couple of weeks.  I got in a fight with the handle on a ski rope needless to say it won.

Oh how I miss this hair do.

Oh Yay baby!!  You don't have to wonder what is going on here.
my mom fed her some of her veggie drink.  I can't believe how fast she has grown up.

Here are a few classic photo's I found making a CD for my mom.   Yes that is all from her mama's milk.

Here she is, isn't she absolutely beautiful.

So Hope has been acting like she was going to walk any day now for at least a month.  This was taken about a week ago and finally the last two days she has taken off.  She is about as steady as a person after drinking a whole 24 pack, but she is doing it.  I am so happy.  I love it when they start walking.  It is so nice to get them off the ground.  We have ruined a lot of pants outside on the grass and the cement.  

So I have been thinking that I would have taken a picture of my new favorite thing by now so that I could post it, but I haven't so I will just tell about it.  About 2 months ago a new friend of mine Kim talked my neighbor Tina into doing a 20 mile road race who in turn talked me into it.  To make a long story short I ended up spending a lot of money on my new best friend.  I bought myself a road bike.  I basically feel like you haven't lived until you own a road bike.  I have never had so much fun exercising in my whole life.  I will thank Kim everyday for a long time for getting me into it.  I recommend it to everyone I know.  The whole thing is, is that if you want to love it, you have to go big or not at all.  You need to spend money on a good bike, good spandex, (make that great spandex), the shoes, and the clip in's.  The clip in's are a little scary at first, but one fall and you realize it doesn't hurt that bad.  It has been the best therapy for me ever.  Just be prepared for your spouse's to get a little jealous about how much time you will want to spend with your bike.  Actually that is why I went for it.  I was Jealous of Tyson and his bike and since he spent a lot more money on his it was that much easier for me to spend the money on mine.  

So it has been an eventful last month for the Lewis Fam.  Tyson purchased a motorcycle about 2 months ago and has had the time of his life fixing it up and going for rides with his brother and brother-in-laws.  I was a little jealous of the bike at first because he was more excited to come home to his bike then he was to come home to us:) Or it at least seemed that way.  Anyway he had just finished getting all of his after market parts on when a lady in a SUV decided to pull out right in front of him.  He slammed on his brakes and started to skid and then the front tire caught and launched him over the handle bars.  He caught himself with his hands and then at one point he thinks he tried to run which would explain his torn plantar fascia on his right foot.  

I was making dinner and he had called me to tell me that he was leaving and would be home soon.  Then 15 min later his phone called me and all I could hear was the noise of traffic.   My first thought was that his phone accidently called me, but then of course I thought or he is dead on the road.  I hung up and then he called me right back, this time he was on the other line and told me that he had been hit.  So I hung up with him and called my neighbor to come watch the girls, she asked me if I needed a ride and i said no I will be fine.  FYI next time someone offers I will accept.  On the way to him all of a sudden my arms started to go numb and I could feel myself going in to shock.  I realized that people can do some pretty crazy things on adrenaline and I hadn't really gotten any details about his injuries.  So of course I start imagining that one of his legs is gone or maybe an arm, by some miracle I made it and found him sitting on the grass just off the road with his hands all bandaged and all of his limbs in place.  

His helmet literally saved his life.  The cops told him that if he hadn't been wearing it he would easily have been on the life flight helicopter instead of getting in the car to go home with me.  We know way too many people who do not wear helmets.  Tyson was as safe as anyone could be on his bike.  He never went faster then the speed limit, he always wore his helmet, he followed all the rules and was very aware of cars around him,  he would even say a prayer before he ever got on his bike.  Thanks to his paranoid wife.  Anyway my point being that if you think you don't need to wear a helmet because you are smart and safe and it will never happen to you, you are fooling yourself.  Tyson was so lucky and we consider ourselves 100% blessed.  He had some pretty painful road rash and his foot is in a removable boot but other then that he is going to be a ok.
