A night with my mom and some hot boys!

Yes, it is true. My mom and I spent the evening with some very hot and talented guys last night. Their names are Joshua, Will, Twitch, Mark, Thayne, and my favorite Gev!




We went to the So You Think You Can Dance tour last night. It was fabulous! The top ten dancers were there, plus Thayne, Chelsea T., and Comfort. They were fantastic. It was so fun to see our favorite dances from the season in person. The energy in the E-center was just amazing. The crowd was so excited, and so loud! (I must be getting OLD, I thought the music was too loud and ended up plugging my ears through some of the numbers.) Our seats were not very good, but we still enjoyed ourselves and the show. We both want to go again next year if they come.

Check ups

On Tuesday I had Holland and Kortnie's well baby check ups. Holland is now four months old and is 14.3 pounds (50th percentile) and 26 inches long (90th percentile). He is growing so fast! Kortnie had her 3 year check up. She is 31 pounds (50th percentile) and 38 inches tall (75th percentile. I have been worried that she might be slightly behind in her development, but it looks like she is right on track or even ahead with everything. Hurray! Her birthday is tomorrow and she is so excited. We are not having a 'party' for her, but she got to pick out her ice cream for tomorrow night and it made her day. Yesterday I took her shopping for a birthday outfit (because she won't wear anything I pick out). She LOVED it. She started crying when we left the shoe store because she wanted to keep shopping. I think I might be in trouble!

Busy Week

This last week has been incredibly busy, but fun. It all started out with the purchase of three new fruit trees. I am so excited to have my own trees. It will be so fun to be able to bottle my own fruit every year. The only bad news is that I won't get good fruit for about three or four years. Still it is so fun.
Then I finally refinished my kitchen table. It looked so terrible. This picture was taken while I was working on it, but it already looks so much better then it did. I can't believe I waited so long to do this!
I have also been canning like crazy! My friend Adrienne and I have been canning peaches and pears almost non-stop for three days. It has been crazy! My hands are dyed brown from the peaches. I am so excited to have it in my food storage. We are still planning on doing marinara sauce and applesauce. It should be fun. Also, I am looking for a pressure cooker/caner (22 qt.), so if anyone sees one or is getting rid of one, let me know.
I also started teaching dance lessons at my friends dance studio. I am teaching 3-4 year olds. I have eleven girls in my class, two of them are my own girls. It is going to be an adventure. They all have so much energy. This picture is of the kids playing with dad after dance class. Kortnie had so much fun she didn't want to take her leotard off. I just bought them both ballet slippers and they love them. The only problem is that Skylar really wanted pink ones, and I made them get black.

On top of all this Kory is still doing football four days a week, and Skylar started soccer tonight. I don't know what I was thinking getting myself into all of this. Luckily things won't be so crazy every week.

Little Man!

My little guy is so cute! (I know I am the mom, but what can I say!)

I spiked his hair yesterday. I thought it made him look so big!
