laura s loopy life pyzam com click here for thousands of free blogger templates skip to main skip to sidebar laura s loopy life welcome to my life i ve come to realize that in my life if its not one thing it s another it s not that i think my life is so much crazier than anyone elses but we do have some pretty crazy moments in the cluff household and now you get to hear all about them enjoy friday may 28 2010 what i m going to do this summer today is the last day of school and it s such a bittersweet day i m looking forward to not having such a structured schedule not having to worry about getting the kids out the door by a certain time allowing late nights every now and then etc but it seems like every summer i get more and more stressed about how i m going to keep the kids entertained so i ve been sitting here stressing about it and then i remembered this list that i found in kya s room the other day what i m going to do this summer by kya cluff 1 crystal springs i have no idea where she got this idea 2 play outside 3 play board games 4 make stuff out of paper 5 have a campout on the trampoline 6 do manacures and pedacures only things she misspelled on the entire list 7 water balloon fight 8 play in our pool 9 spy on ember ha ha she cracks me up 10 movie 11 sing primary songs 12 have a party on the trampoline 13 go on a treasure hunt 14 play with the family 15 play basketball 16 play baseball 17 go to the park 18 play on the trampoline together together with who 19 play with q tip our cat and yes it was color coded just like this this list made me feel so much better i love how simple it is and how easily entertained kids can prove to be they don t need costly outings or expensive vacations sometimes i think as adults we go to too much of an extreme to make sure our kids are entertained when it s really just life s simple pleasures that they want i mean sure it s great to do those things every once in a while if we have the time and money to do so but don t rule out the simple and easy things i think with the exception of crystal springs and hey maybe even that i could help her accomplish everything on this list here s to a fun and simple summer posted by laura at 9 08 am 0 comments monday may 24 2010 summer fun brings march babies the month of march brought three new babies to our circle of family and friends all three couples wanted the sex of the baby to be a surprise i could never do that but it did make it very exciting to find out what each one of them had we were guessing they d all be girls but we were only right with one on march 1st our close friends kalun and kristi merrill welcomed a baby girl they named addison emma she was 7 lbs 6 oz and 20 inches such a beautiful baby here she is at 2 days old then matthew s brother dave and his wife kenia welcomed a baby boy on march 12th they named him joaquin k after both of the grandpa s middle names he was 9 lbs 2 oz and 22 inches what a big boy he already started out big but for one reason after another we didn t get to see him until he was 16 days old so he hardly even looked like a newborn by then and finally my brother chuck and his wife ginger welcomed a baby boy on march 18th he was 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches ginger had him naturally i think she s crazy but to each his own about 2 days after he was born they finally came up with a name for him zaxton kalan of course they had to go with another z name their other two are zailey and zenick we had a fun time guessing what crazy name they d come up with if names were allowed in scrabble his name would be worth a lot his middle name is a combination of both of the grandpa s middle names kay and alan we drove all the way up to bear lake to see him a couple days after he was born and planned to spend the weekend so we could help out with their other two children and make meals etc well after the first day of being there i got really sick and we had to leave early so we didn t get to spend nearly as much time with them as hoped but they came down a month later for kya s baptism and we got to see him again he was still tiny but didn t quite have that newborn look anymore welcome to the world addison joaquin and zaxton posted by laura at 1 31 pm 0 comments itty bitty ball logan played itty bitty ball again this year same as last year it was the one that has a little of everything baseball basketball soccer volleyball and football the name of their team was team batman his coach this year was much better i found out later that it was a girl from kalun kristi s ward she was great being a whole year older made a huge difference he participated a lot more and actually did pretty well all things considered although he did still get easily distracted do a lot of weird dancing act aloof every once in a while and play with his shirt a lot i ve found this to be a common theme for kids his age i d look around the room at the other kids to see if they were doing it too logan was definitely not alone he and his teammates also thought it was cool to show off their muscles and there was always candy at the end of each day of course one of the best parts logan had pretty good form during volleyball he did surprisingly well logan was one of the biggest kids on his team which meant he got one of the biggest shirts this picture just doesn t give you that great of an idea but it was pretty darn big this picture gives you a little perspective it was big enough for me for heavens sake peyton had a lot of fun as a spectator logan being the goalie on soccer day lined up ready to play some football catching the football apparently logan thought he was going to make a hoop for it to go through getting ready to kick the football practicing throwing it through targets logan was actually pretty darn good at this one logan in his football stance i guess we made it all the way through the game of flag football this year without logan throwing punches when people tried to steal his flag thing this lady made me laugh seriously check out that camera she looked like paparazzi i half expected to find my kid on the front of a tabloid final day they played a bunch of silly games played with the parachute one of the highlights and then lenny the lion came way to go logan logan s warming up to lenny he agreed to take a picture with him as long as he could stay this far away from him peyton is still very unsure about lenny the lion she would not go near him it was another great year go team batman posted by laura at 12 13 pm 0 comments seriously the only thought that came to mind when i looked out the window this morning was seriously i had been waiting to put out my new summery welcome mat until i was sure it was done snowing i finally put it out last monday because surely it had to be done right wrong it looks a little silly and out of place come on i ve lived in utah all my life i really should ve expected this my poor plants and lilies that we planted on saturday why oh why didn t i procrastinate again september came down this morning wearing a cute little spring outfit i told her to look outside she did she still wanted to wear it then she asked me where her black boots were i had put them away already seeing as how we shouldn t have needed them anymore i told her it would look kind of silly but the more i thought about it it just seemed to fit with the weather so we went and scrounged up her boots she left the house looking like a perfect combination of winter and spring just like it did outside i guess it will be a pajama day for us and now maybe i ll finally have a chance to catch up on all my blogging maybe it will be a good day after all posted by laura at 9 47 am 0 comments tuesday may 11 2010 rollercoaster i know i know it s been a while since i ve blogged i ve been meaning to and wanting to it s been a nagging thought in the back of my head for weeks and weeks and not in a bad way i love to blog i love having something to look back on and remind me of special occasions or random silly happenings my blog is my journal and without it i d probably forget so much detail about all of the events and things in my life life just gets so busy sometimes which is exactly why i haven t gotten any blogging done the past couple months take a look at this calendar why am i complaining about being so busy when the one and only thing on my calendar for last month was kya s birthday i had to laugh when we went to turn the calendar to may and realized that that was the only thing that ever got written down for the entire month of april in reality we were so busy that we didn t even have time to ever write anything down not only have the past couple months been busy but they have been such an emotional rollercoaster i ve spent a lot of time crying the past few weeks but thank goodness not all of it was for bad sad reasons there were quite a few really great happy moments too it s funny how just when you think things are going great not perfect but great and you re finally on top of things life has a way of throwing a curve ball at you i m trying to do better at rolling with the punches many days i just feel punched so before i let any more time pass and forget too much i need to hurry and blog about all of those moments but just to avoid an anxiety attack from feeling completely overwhelmed which has been a pretty constant theme lately i think i ll ease back into things and try to do just a couple posts a day one of these days i ll be back on top of it or maybe not and if not i ll try not to guilt myself over it because after all there are more important things in life like making the memories that are blog worthy but may or may not ever actually make it onto the blog posted by laura at 1 31 pm 2 comments friday february 26 2010 new national holiday crazy outfit day i don t remember exactly what it was for but today at the girls school they had crazy outfit day they have been so excited about this day and have had their outfits picked out for a while this is how they looked when they left this morning i love watching my kids get so excited about stuff like this and see how creative they are they make me laugh note it s still a little wet outside from the snow yesterday so they actually wore real shoes mismatched of course but they took their slippers to change into at school posted by laura at 12 53 pm 1 comments sunday february 14 2010 happy valentine s day valentine s day in the cluff household is not complete without and a new tradition that apparently started though was this i think it s a valentine s love fort we had a fun day celebrating valentine s day today this day is an extra special day for matthew and i for valentine s day back in 1999 my sister and i invited our boyfriends over for dinner at our apartment later that night matthew actually proposed to me it was a complete shock to him and to me it was not something that he planned it just felt right and he seized the moment we had only been dating for 2 weeks so valentine s has always been a day that has been that much more special for us every year we re create the meal that i made for matthew that valentine s day 11 years earlier over the years the day has evolved into a fun family holiday i love all five of my valentines one last thing i wanted to share among the candy that september came home with from her school valentine party on friday was one of those typical necco hearts that said the world sure is a different place than when i was bringing home necco hearts from school valentine s parties i hope you all had a fun valentine s day and you got to spend it with at least one person you love happy valentine s day posted by laura at 7 31 pm 0 comments friday february 12 2010 haircuts september was in desperate need of a haircut she had been trying to grow it out but it wasn t working too well it was just looking stringy and both kya and peyton could use a trim my friend katie s daughter annie who is a good friend of kya s was wanting her hair cut too they were out of school last friday so we decided to make a girls day of it and took them all to get their hair cut then we went home and did manicures what a fun girly day i forgot to take before pictures but here are the afters the girl that did kya s hair was done before anyone else so she decided to curl it i loved it i wish i could figure out how to do it because it really just gave so much volume to her face she looked like a completely different person but alas i lack skills in the hair department i ve tried and tried to recreate this look with no success september s was a little shorter than i requested but as long as there isn t anything big coming up and there s not i d always rather have them go too short then leave it too long it s that much longer we get to wait until a haircut is needed she looks so cute i ve always loved her hair short this was peyton s first real haircut it kind of made me sad i think we cut off the majority of what she had left of her curls all of the girls at the salon thought she was so stinkin cute i would have to agree she is so stinkin cute but man is she hard to get a good picture of she is one of my favorite subjects to photograph because she is stunningly beautiful but i can never get a good shot of her because she s also a complete character i couldn t get her to sit still to get a good shot that would show off her haircut but as she was running away from me i hurried and snapped one that kind of gives you an idea posted by laura at 10 30 am 1 comments wednesday february 3 2010 guess who got glasses doesn t she look so cute and smart we ve known for a few months now that september needed glasses because she would squint to see everything but we had to wait until open enrollment with our insurances and then we still had to wait for january when her coverage would start this girl was counting down the days til her appointment she was so excited to get glasses we found out at the appointment just how desperately this girl needed them her vision is 20 200 for those who don t understand what that means i didn t it means that things the average person can see at 200 feet away september would have to be 20 feet away holy crap the dr joked that he wasn t sure how she d made it so far in life she has had them for two weeks now and still just loves them being able to see is really an amazing thing posted by laura at 8 19 pm 0 comments christgiving thankmas we started a tradition with my family last year of celebrating christmas and thanksgiving together we call it christgiving thankmas we do all the gift giving and the big feast all in one get together it s the best of both worlds last year we
