FIELD TRIP!!

Have you ever taken your kids to Discovery (Children's Museum) and found out upon arrival that a FIELD TRIP was going on and you were going to have to dodge a hundred CRAZY little kids all day?? Well we've been through that a lot, and I'm proud to say that MY KIDS were the field trip kids 2 weeks ago! I was the crazy mom who not only chaperoned, but also brought her baby and toddler. All in all, it was a blast and the kids had such a good time. Their favorite part was riding the school bus. It was their first time and they were in heaven.

Dog days of summer

Seriously? We wait for months and months for the sun to come out and when it finally does, it busts out an 80+ degree day. It was a bit much for this little girl :) But I thoroughly enjoyed my hot, sweaty day :)

ZUMBA BIRTHDAY CHICKEN

Monday night Zumba class was AWESOME! Don't get me wrong, it's always awesome, but Monday was EXTRA awesome! Tammy and Shanna took off outside with about 2 songs left and came back in a couple minutes later with cupcakes, a GIANT monkey balloon, and SHANNA as the CHICKEN!!! Everyone was stoked. She even did a toe touch for us. I'm so lucky to have such a thoughtful sister! She not only comes to EVERY one of my classes, but she went out of her way to make my birthday one that I'll remember. And what better way to end a vigorous workout than with a giant cupcake!?

29 and holding.

That's what my mom used to tell people when they wanted to know how old she was. I remember thinking, "29!!?? But that's so old!! Why wouldn't you pick a younger age!!!??" And now, I'M 29....and holding ;) I don't feel old, I have my sisters to thank for that. Yep, they'll always be 8 & 6 years older than me!! We went to Ashley & Ryan's for my birthday & Tanner's birthday, his is the 23rd. We had fajita's and lots of other yummies. We started the evening with Ashley doing my hair and giving Nixon ANOTHER haircut (he's now had 3). It was a fun evening and I feel blessed to have such a great family to spend my birthday with.

Nixon LOVES his ball!

This little boy is obsessed with balls. He has a little nerf soccer ball that he dribbles around and around and around the house all day. He likes to pick it up, throw it, and chase after it. Whenever he gets bored or cranky, just say the word, "ball". He'll perk right up and look for it. It's awesome. I've taken half a dozen videos of him dribbling, but this one was cute because he says "uh oh". Maybe not as much dribbling. (youtube video "Nixon plays with his ball"

My precious little Kendyl

She's also my naughty little Kendyl, but in these pictures, precious.

I'm going to Prom!!!

We took our Miamaids to a bridal shop last week to try on modest prom dresses. I wanted to try one on too of course! It was so fun to have a gown on! I haven't dressed up since my wedding. Sad. Anyway, here I am with a few of my cute Miamaids :)
