Spoiled

I was very spoiled tonight for my birthday.

We went to Sushi Eye with some friends for dinner. Please Please PUH-LEASE if you like sushi and are ever in the Phoenix area... stop here... well, come pick me up and then we will go together and have sushi.

Amazing.

After dinner we stopped at a wonderful little place for dessert.

Melting Pot anyone?

A little bit of Heaven on Earth.

Plus Rich and I both go to blow out a candle for our birthday celebration.

After that we headed out for a movie.

Thank you so much to our wonderful sitter!

Thank you for wonderful friends who SPOILED me rotten.

And here is to another year!

27 sure sounds like it is going to be great.

Happy Birthday Week

This week has been a whirlwind.

I will catch you up soon!

Goodnight

Check Out My Tonsils

Hey mom! Look at me!

I think at least 2 times a day I have my mouth inspected.

Every time they find a flashlight they have to look into my mouth.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

They also say:

"Mom, open your mouth." "Hey mom, lemme see your teeth." "Mom, show me your tongue." "Hey mom, lemme brush your teeth." "Mom, what is in your mouth?"

Some days it is bad and I get food shoved in there, a finger, a fist, a toy, whatever.

So I am not surprised that most of these trampoline pictures had Ryann's mouth wide open.

This is What We Do

This is just what we do.

Our house is a little crazy sometimes.

I am not apologizing, just stating.

I love these girls for who they are and for being perfect little people despite my mistakes and shortcomings.

When I say "perfect little people" I don't mean they don't make mistakes, they aren't naughty, or that they are better than any other kids.

I mean they are perfect in their love for me.

And that, my friends, is what perfect should mean.

Little Cara Kay in the dryer while I fold laundry.

Ryann learning how to play the Wii. Seriously? A Zelda shooting game? Her Dad is so proud.

I know her Uncle Zach will be proud too, once I send a letter off to him telling him about it.

Curly Sue

My little Nugget was so excited to get her hair curled for church on Sunday.

Can you tell?

I hair sprayed the crap out of her hair and it sort of held for the rest of the day. I was a little shocked it did so well, since it usually doesn't hold curl at all.

McDonald's Play Place

Not going to lie... my new favorite place from 7-9am on Saturday mornings is McDonald's. We were letting Rich sleep in for his birthday so I took the girls.

I got my free Oatmeal, shared a little with the girls, but they were having way too much fun to eat.

It is so fun that Ryann can help Cara climb up the steps, that way I don't have to climb up and rescue any little girls.

I think next time I will bring a book to read. They seriously played for almost 2 hours.

My cute little monkeys.

Soccer Time

We went to the park yesterday and one of our friends had brought their soccer balls and goals. Ryann looks like a pretty cute goalie. Just like auntie Erin?

Cause I know her mommy HATED to play goalie.

She was actually a little too warm playing in her long sleeves and long pants.

Did I mention how I love Arizona this time of year?

Thanks for such a fun park day!!
