Parade

Abbey has been taking dance lessons from the Safford Dance Academy. They had a little float in the Fair Parade this month, and Abbey got to ride it! She was SO excited! She loved every second of it, and waved and waved as the float road by us. Sorry her eyes are closed in this picture........

Working hard

I was sitting at my mom's table the other day and this is what I saw:

My mom, working hard......or hardly working, I don't know but it doesn't really matter. Isn't she so cute?

Then I looked over and this is what I saw:

Like Granny, like Granddaughter......

Those little rascals!!

I don't know about anyone else, but when I put my kids to bed, and it gets really quiet, I assume that my children are sound asleep in their beds...........I must say, this is not always the case! Here is proof.

Exhibit A:

This is my sweet and innocent little Abbey. Notice the red marks on her face. What could it be? I have no idea.........wait a minute.......isn't that some of mommies lipstick? I say we check out the next little rascal to see if we can find more evidence as to what exactly is going on here.

Exhibit B:

YEP!!! I would say that is mommies lipstick!!!! I guess Clara wasn't so sweet and innocent after all, she got into my lipstick and decided to go crazy....and of course she shared with her big sister. Those little stinkers!

Spa Day!

My grandma has 3 sisters. Every year they all get together and have sister week. They do lots of fun things, and just spend quality time together. Well, Leslie and I decided that it was a great idea and started our own sister day. This was our second annual sister day, and I have no idea how we will ever be able to top it. (Sorry Connie, when you are older you will be invited.......and also, we will eventually somehow incorporate the sisters-in-law.......Jamie and Valerie). So, Leslie and I spent a day at a spa!! It was awesome! We went to a place called Touch of Tranquility, and we were there for 6 hours! We got a steam bath, a facial, a manicure, lunch, and a massage!! My favorite was the facial. We even got to drink cucumber water all day. I had no idea that anything could be so fantastic! This is us right before we started, we were so excited and full of life, but by the end we were so relaxed and felt a little greasy with all of the oils they used. It was fabulous, wonderful, and amazing. I think that everyone should have a day at the spa at least once in their life.

Pamela Pear

So, I have been working full days since Cindi (the other lady in our office) decided to go on a Cruise for 10 days. I usually only work until 1 pm, and then I have the rest of the afternoon with the girls. Needless to say, working so much, has been a little stressful for me, since I am not used to that. My boss noticed, and the other day said, "You should go take a jog around the block." Luckily, I had my workout clothes in my car, so I quickly changed, and did as he said. It was great. The next day, I noticed a pear tree outside of our office, and asked my boss if I could go pick a pear. He knew that this would be good for moral, so he sent me out the door to pick a pear! I got this cute little pear, and it made me so happy, that we had to take a picture together. Her name is Pamela Pear. We were friends for a couple days, until I decided to eat her today. She was quite tasty. If you are thinking that I have lost my mind, well then, you are probably right.

Clara's long day!

So, my baby brother Daniel got married September 3rd, and no, I don't have any pictures of them yet, but when I get some, I will post. They turned out really cute, they just aren't online yet. Anyway, Clara went with me up to Mesa the night before the wedding (Abbey had school, so she stayed home with Daddy) and we were up late decorating. I don't think poor little Clara got to sleep until about 11 pm. She did really good though.

After the wedding ceremony we had a luncheon. It turned out so yummy. Nacho bar for the win! I ate way too much. Here is little Clara enjoying one of her favorite meals. She calls it French Fries and Creams. It is Tortilla chips with sour cream. I had to get a picture of her with the sour cream all over her face.


Finally, after cleaning up after the luncheon, we were on our way home. Everyone was so exhausted. We had a movie for Clara, and here she is with her little headphones on. She crashed after the first five minutes. Poor thing. But, she really was a good little girl the whole time. Not a lot of complaining.
