paaaartaaaaay!!

 Happy 30th Birthday to....ME!!!  my hubby and friends/sisters threw me a super rockin PAAARTAAAAY!  we wanted to do 90's theme since 80s is soooo over done, and i spend most of my teenage years in the 90's!  so we dusted off our plaid skirts and pulled out our best Britney impressions!  and YES...those are FROSTED TIPs on Jake!!

Sarah was my Britney competition....WHATEVER!!  haha, LOVE her! 

and Amber who i have known since i was 6 came up from Pheonix to surprise me! 

 my mom and Diana dug up some pics thru the ages!! i was very grateful they were kind.  i have a bad hair phase from like 10-15!  haha

and no party would be complete without a dance off!  thanks Cris Cross for helping us JUMP JUMP!!  so much fun!  thanks again everyone!

Circus School

at the beginning of this year, i put together a "bucket list" of things i wanted to do before i turned 30...since this is that magical year!!  and one of the things i wanted to do was go on a TRAPEZE!!  in my mind i really wanted to do a high flying trapeze like in the circus, so i actually found a "circus school" right here in tucson!!! when we got there i was a little disappointed to find out it wasn't high flying, swinging trapeze, but it was an ariel/pretty posing class. it was still a blast!!!

 we did ribbon silks...and tried climbing to the top! that was a lot harder than it looked!!!

 then we did trapeze bar.  we tried to pose and look graceful!!

 i was able to talk my sisters Karen and Jaime to go with me and my friend Marissa too!!

 

Marissa was definately in her happy place!!  total natural!

 Marissa and i got a little crazy on the ring, doing pair tricks.  it was super fun!

 the only bad thing was the pain afterwards...yeah, it left a mark!!  ouch!  but totally worth it!!

Holy Legos batman...

it's conference weekend, so what does that mean....besides cinnamon rolls....LEGOS!!! rather then buying a new lego for both the boys to do, we decided to sort and seperate all the legos we already had.  there were A LOT!!!!

 it took us ALLLLLLL day....but here you go....all sorted by color!  now we just need to make the sets, but that can be for another day!

piano recital

Blaine had his first Piano recital and did such a great job.  there were about 7 kids, and it was a cute little show.  we love our piano teacher!! thanks sarah

Thanks again sarah....and great job Blaine!!!

Happy Easter

We had a super "hoppy" easter this year!  starting with 2 big Easter egg hunts on saturday! the kids love it!

 Ty loves filling his basket with all kids of treats!

 then we headed over to the other hunt where we played with Prior family as well.  Ty and Carlee got even MORE eggs

 then of course we had to come home and decorate some hard boiled eggs.  we got a fun set this year and made little monster eggs

 Easter Morning!!!! the boys found their baskets and couldn't wait to see what the easter bunny had brought them!!

 and my handsome boys dressed in their sunday best to go to church and learn more about the real reason why we celebrate Easter~

 good lookin kids....all 3 of them!!!

Spring Break Party

on the last day of spring break, we had a little "water/pool/splash party!" we invited just a couple friends...and it was a blast!  the kids also made sugar cookies!  yummy treat

of course there had to be a water balloon fight!  the kids had a blast!  now it's back to school...

Potty Training!!

we have a potty trained 2 year old!! wahooooo!!!!  we can call it an early birthday gift to myself!  Ty did really well and got the hang of things in just 2 days!!  he still wears his "nightime undies" to bed (pull ups), but other than that he is great during the day!  

 sorry, but i just love nudies little legs!  big boy in his undies!

 he tends now to only want to wear either a shirt, or shorts....only when we have to go somewhere does he want to wear both!  funny boy!

i see undies!!!  sooo cute!
