The Young and the Restless

Moms gone wild

So many girls, so little sleep, so much food and soooo much laughing. I seriously don't remember the last time I laughed this hard. We had the best girls weekend at my friend Alisa's cabin.....I had major flashbacks of girl's camp as we loaded up our caravan. The party girls: Angie, Laura, Marcee, Cari, Julie, Alisa, Lisa, Kris, Melissa, Lori, Chelsea, (me), Kristen and Amy.First stop: Branding Iron Steakhouse. I don't think Show Low knew what hit them when 14 girls took over their favorite joint. We were fooled by the jam packed parking lot (although the wagon wheel and pick ax decor should have been a sign) and left wondering why anyone would pay $23 for this:

and $12 for this:

Chels and I thought we were going the safe route by ordering the potatoe skins that the waitress highly recommended but we all learned that there was no safe route at this joint and we all payed for it the rest of the weekend. uggg.

The trip got off to a good start and got only better after that when Kristen got pulled over. It's a good thing she was cute enough to get out of a ticket ;)We stayed up until 4 am talking, eating, laughing, laughing, eating and talking then Chels and I snuggled up in the honeymoon suite. Who knew a double bed could be so tiny? ha!
After we (as in me and Chelsea, since everyone else woke up at like 6 AM to go run like 10 miles) slept in until 10:00 we went for a hike then showered before heading out for the much anticipated blueberry cobbler, which did not disappoint. Our waiter did not disappoint, either. From the perfectly manicured 'stache, to the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, to the sassy attitude, we all had fun with him and I'm pretty sure he was glad when we all left.

I think Greer was about ready to see our entourage leave when we disturbed their quiet evening by all piling into one SUV (where I had a major panic attack when I was stuck in the back and ended up climbing over everybody to get to the front. Not a pretty sight. Thanks Melissa for retrieving my shoe.) then went dragging main and doing chinese fire drills in front of the only restraunt that was open past 9:00. I don't think Greer has ever seen that much action. It was one of those times where we thought we are sooooo hilarious but were the only ones laughing (especially after the THIRD round). We were debating whether the old guys on the balcony of the bar were saying "grandmas" or "take it off". I don't think we should flatter ourselves, considering we were a bunch of moms running around screaming in our pajamas. Oh well, atleast we thought we were funny.We also had some fun with the cabin decor...it's a good thing Alisa's dad is such a good hunter, otherwise what would we pose with?? (by the way guys, thanks for letting me know that my shirt is see through. Nice G's. I thought I was doing good to wear a black bra.)Chelsea having an intimate moment with the bear...Julie and I having an intimate moment with "grandpa Isak"....
What a seriously fun weekend. I can't wait for next time (there BETTER be a next time!). Thanks so much, Alisa!!

As much fun as we had, it's always nice to come home to my family. Maddox does this thing where he gets so excited and waves his chubby little arms and legs all over the place whenever he sees me and I couldn't wait to see it. So of course I was crushed when he didn't want anything to do with me. Nine months of constant care, then I leave for 2 days and he totally forgets who I am!! He cried whenever I would hold him and would reach out to Jason. Of course Jason loved it and credited it to "the hand that feeds him". He also learned to pull himself up on furniture and crawl on his hands and knees instead of doing the army crawl. All in TWO DAYS. I was a sad mama.
