The weekend I turned 30

Jon was way too excited when the rest of my gifts arrived. So you get photos of me Au natural.

Meanwhile, MORE gifts?! Hello. Did he forget that he got me a Cameo? Not that I am complaining. Just pointing out how very spoiled I am feeling. In a good way. I really don't mind at all when the hubby spoils me.

Then he took me out to dinner which basically means I didn't cook for four days. Thursday, B-day dinner. Friday FSA girls night out. Saturday conference/party day. Freezer meal for Sunday. BEST.WEEKEND.EVER!

Shannon had this great idea to make conference baskets for all the kiddos. We love how they turned out. AND the kids LOVED them.

The girls got primmed and pampered (in the same room that had the t.v. for conference listening.) for family photos, and the boys "watched" conference. To be fair this was one 10 min sleepy spell. Also i must say EXCELLENT talks!

We got some cute photos of all the kids and families. Well really just a couple good ones of Regan. It was windy, and he was I thought suffering with allergies. He spiked a fever later that night.

Little man was snotty and miserable. The rest of us look great in this photo though.

This however is by far my absolute favorite photo of the day. Cutest photo bomber ever. And Kaylee and Regan's reactions crack me up!

My sweet niece Sarah is exactly 21 years younger than me. I love sharing a birthday with her. Every year I know that I will at the very least remember her birthday (17 nieces and nephews). She requested a pug pinata. Her favorite color is pink, so I made her a pink pug pinata.

And the money shot.

Birthday + Conference = perfect weekend.

Tiny Dancer

I think we shall call him, "The Boy Who Cries. A LOT." or equally popular for his current stage of life, "Whinny bum." This kid is giving us some fun emotional whiplash lately. Today he wanted to dance too. We are thinking on it. Kid is going to trip on that lip someday. He has his pout down.

Kaylee has been begging for dance classes, or gymnastics classes, or soccer for a while now. I FINALLY got her to pick ONE. I think we will also be able to swing soccer. Later. We are still adjusting to the new schedule and school.

The studio she goes to offers a free trial class. So she checked it out, and LOVED it. So we signed her up for Jazz/Ballet class. She is having so much fun, and looks way TOO cute in class.

I am really loving having my tiny dancer in actual dance classes. And more importantly she is LOVE LOVE LOVING dance class.

Pirate party

Kaylee was a little disappointed when we got home from being rescued off the side of the road. I told her I just didn't think I could do one more thing today. She understood, after all she was there for the puke and fire! But she was disappointed. And then the Mama guilt set in….

Aunt Emily to the rescue! I called Emily and she had not left for the party yet. YEA! So she swung by the house and picked up Kaylee. Kaylee was on cloud nine.

Emily's sweet heart of a niece Becca and Kaylee get along smashingly. Kaylee was so excited when she was invited to Becca's pirate birthday party. And even more excited to actually be able to go.

She was beyond DONE when she got home that night. Emily not only took Kaylee to the party, but she fed her lunch and dinner too. In all the craziness I totally forgot to feed my child lunch!

So a giant thank you to Emily for saving the day!
