Little Feet Halloween

Addison's cute preschool (Little Feet Preschool), had a Halloween party. We had princesses, a witch, spider man, Sonic, and Indiana Jones come. They had such a fun time decorating cookies, doing a cake walk, and lots of other games and activities. (Thanks Brooke for such a great time!)

Minnie Mouse had to come and play too!

Fan vs. Groupie?!?

I got the chance to go to the SYTYCD live tour again this year. I really liked this past season's group of dancers, so I was super excited to go! Angie scored us some great seats, and then we were able to move even closer during the second half of the show. Life doesn't get much better than this!
This was how good our seats were. (Thanks Angie for the pic, your camera was much better than mine.) They danced most of my favorite dances, including the Addiction dance. It was awesome.
Randi...
Meeting everyone after was so much fun (thanks Janice). I felt really old and very large (all those tiny little dancers...even the guys!)

Jason...

Evan... Kayla...

What an awesome night! Although, I was feeling my age, getting home at 1am and then getting up the next morning with the kids for school. I AM OLD!!! By the way, I think I fell into the groupie category carrying around my poster having all the dancers sign it.

Preschool Fieldtrip

The kids learned all about safety, policemen, and firemen @ preschool this week. So what better way to end the course than by a little trip to the Firehouse Museum. They got to dress up, slide down poles, play on trucks, and play with water hoses. The kids had a blast!!! Then we ended the day at a park with a picnic lunch. The weather was great, it was a great day!

Family Togetherness...

We have been spending a lot of time together lately, due to colds and lack of children in our neighborhood to play with. So here are some of the things that we have been doing...
-shirtless (kids only) spaghetti night
-Chucky Cheese
-playing in the backyard
-watching tv on mom and dad's bed (Bailey found the perfect spot on Parker)

We are enjoying the "cooler" weather we have been having!

Are we musical or what?!?

Stars in the making...

Little Football Star

It took Parker a little while to warm up, but once he did, he had a blast!

The high school here had a "meet the football team" day. Mark took Parker and he kicked, tackled, spiraled, and ran touch downs. What more could a 6 year old boy ask for?!?!

9-1-1

Our day started at 2:30am, with Addison coughing and coughing and coughing. She was having a hard time breathing too. I took her into the ER and she has croup. This is our first experience with it. It is definitely a little scary.
We got home at about 5:30am and she started coughing all over again once we got home. I dragged a rocking chair in the bathroom and turned on the hot shower and we roasted in the hot steam for about an hour, which seemed to help.
Then at 6:30am everyone else woke up for the day. Parker, Kasidee, and Bailey have been coughing a little bit, so P and K stayed home from school today.
I have been washing EVERYTHING and lysoling EVERYTHING else to try to keep this croup from spreading to everyone in the family.
Kasidee had an accident, and I just got off the phone with a 911 operator who just received 2 calls from this number. (Parker just learned about 911-awesome), and it isn't even noon yet. This day is shaping up to be one to remember!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Mark gave me Jason Mraz tickets for my birthday in July, and the concert finally arrived!!! It was amazing, I had so much fun!!! It is not very often that an artist is better live than they are on the radio. Jason didn't disappoint...it was awesome! Thanks Mark, that was the best birthday present ever. (We went with Lelani, Mark's boss Jen, Greg and Angie, Dave and Jana, and Jared and his brother.)
