Birthday Day!

Day 27
Today was LuLu's (sometimes also known as Kaylani) birthday. She turned the big 3 today and we just love her! So we went and they played with chalk and played in the pool and had a barbecue and watched her open presents. Your typical birthday party. I was really happy Kenzie invited us and it seemed like Lu had a great birthday!

We had to leave early because we had a dinner planned for the birthday's that Grammy and Grampy would be gone for! Nolan got a new book and some plastic rings! He was pretty excited and screamed at me till I got it all the way out of the package! We also had fun playing badmitton and croquet. I've never played croquet but I just don't have the patience for it. Or I didn't tonight at least and towards the end people started hucking balls across the yard and flinging the little fences. That was my cue to be done!! But it was tons of fun (even with out a net for badmitton-haha)

Here's Brookelyn in her par-tay outfit!

Twilight

May 30th

Day 26
We didn't do much on Saturday. Went to a friend's grand opening party...that was fun!! And then I decided to highlight my hair but by the time I got my hair through that super sexy cap I was TIRED, but I was definitely not giving up all that hard work for nothing!! So I set in with my Twilight book and read a couple pages and then when when it was done I took pictures of my new hair do :) It's super blond and I super love it! You can find the pictures by either going to my flickr or going to my face book (I'll probably upload them all tomorrow!!)

Twilight is my favorite book. Yeah some people say it's lame but I don't care I love it all the same! (Hahaha I'm a poet and didn't even know it!) I'm so excited to watch the New Moon Movie Premiere on the MTV Movie Awards!!

The Start to My Day

May 29

Day 25
The start to my day deserves a little tribute. Every morning I have my cup of coffee while the kids drink their sippy cups and eat their breakfast. The day doesn't start until I have this milk-brown beauty.

Day 23
I slacked a little. So sue me ;)

On Wednesday I had to run to the library that's across the street from the river so I walked a little bit over after I got done and took a couple pictures of the surrounding areas! There's a mall (a rather small one that I almost NEVER go to), the library, the river, some beautiful bridges and lots lots more. This summer I want to take a ride in the gondola and take pictures going over the river! That would be amazing!

This is the Monroe Street Bridge. I'm not 100 % sure that this is the official name of it...but it's the bridge on Monroe! LOL

Allergies = No fun

Day 22
Starting last night I got the worst allergy attack! Benedryl makes me super drowsy so I only take it when I SERIOUSLY need it. So all day I've been dealing with the itchy throat, watery eyes, stuffed/runny nose (you know, when it's stuffy one second and you can't breathe and then it's completely runny the next), and don't even get me started on the sneezing!

I feel like crap but that doesn't stop the kids from getting up at 730 AM. They don't understand that mom is sick and just wants to sleep in and it's go go go when the kids wake up until Dad gets home. And even then Moms don't get breaks. I decide it would be worth the suffering trip to Walmart even if I were ONLY in need of tissues. Nice, super soft tissues with LOTION. But we also need more stuff for dinner and diaper wipes too.

In the Kleenex department I stand there for probably 5 minutes solid wondering if I should spend the extra 46 cents to buy the ones with vicks cause...what if I don't even like them? It would be a waste of money! But in the end I decide that it wont be a waste cause I'll use them even if I don't like them, it'll just be a lesson learned!

So I get them home and they're FANTASTIC. I'm not getting paid to advertise them or anything! They're AMAZING. It's Puffs plus lotion with Vicks! Try them! When I'm having issues breathing I just hold one up to my face!! Sure beats rubbing that nasty stuff on you!! I did have a nice little picture all lined up for you of the box of tissues (lol!) but as I was loading the pictures on to my camera I saw this adorable little boy:

Happy Memorial Day

May 25

Day 21
Memorial Day wasn't going to be anything special this year. We were just going to hang out and catch up on house work and stay in our PJ's all day. But then Glenn decided he would invite his Brother, Jesse, and his wife, April over for a barbecue. So we all had to finish cleaning the house and take showers and get dressed. I had orignally bought outfits for the kids for the Fourth of July but Memorial day is just as good of a time to wear red white and blue as the 4th!! So Brookelyn wore her adorable new outfit!!

And this is the picture of Brookelyn telling her Daddy a story. (She's quite the talker...I have no idea where she gets it from!)
