just a thought....

My mom came out to visit last week and we had so much fun hiking and walking to the gardens and SHOPPING! I just wanted to say thanks to my mom for all of her help and for everything that she does for me and my family. My kids love being with her...she is such a great grandma. You are the BEST!! I love you mom!

girls day out

Yesterday Sadie and I went on a girls day out with some our good friends, Lisa Stanley and her little girl Kaydee, Lisa Stephenson and Ava & Mandy and Scarlett. We went to Disney on Ice and it was so much fun!! The kids loved it and actually the moms loved it too. At one point there was music on and Kaydee and Sadie were dancing and Lisa and I started dancing and we look over and both our girls are just staring at us like....how embarrassing is this! We started laughing so hard. Afterward we went out to lunch. It was really fun. I enjoyed spending time with just Sadie. Tyler did not want to go so he offered to stay home with Parker. Here are some pictures of our day.

slipin' n slidin'

For Labor Day we thought it would be fun to make a slip and slide. So, Jon and Dan went to Home Depot and bought a 100 ft. plastic something....I'm not quite sure what it is called but we went across the street and put it down this big hill. Tyler hooked a bunch of hoses together so that it would reach across the street and then those that went down lathered up in dish soap so that they would go faster. It was hilarious to watch everyone go down. They brought a little raft over and so I decided that it didn't seem to dangerous me for, being pregnant, to do it on the raft. I had Sadie sitting in front of me between my legs and Jenny was on the back. We were going slow at first and then we got going pretty fast. My foot went through the plastic a couple times and made holes in it and I am pretty sure that was when I got this humongous bruise on my leg. The bruise makes it look a lot more dangerous than it really was. Actually everyone had bruises and scrapes all over their bodies. But they all went down on their stomachs and backs. I think that I can speak for all of them and say that it was all worth it. (I don't think that I would do it again though). Sadie and Parker both went down and Olivia, Brad and Jackis's little girl went down too with her dad. She wasn't very happy about it. Sadie went down by herself a few times on her bum...I was impressed.
Here are some pictures and videos of the fun day.
