Sunday Night Bonfire

I have been wanting to do a bonfire all summer long, and here it is now Fall and we finally pulled it of last night. We gathered around our fire pit with our friends, roasted weenies and marshmallows, and watched our kids fill their pants and hair with sand, it was great! There's something so cozy about being on the beach at night when it's a little chilly and warming up to a nice fire. We can't wait to do it again!

Family Fun

We had a lot of fun with Aiana's soccer team this weekend. It was the annual daughter vs. parent game followed by a BBQ. I loved watching the girls laugh so hard!

Oh the days of red rover

Moms Night Out!

I think it is so important for moms to get some time away! Friday night I was able to do that with a fabulous group of friends. It's amazing how many hours us ladies can spend chatting, laughing, ...and well, dancing too!

More dance pictures

I had to get a couple more pics of Caylin at dance class.

Dancing is so fun with buddy Kaylee

What happened!

Putting make-up on in front of the mirror used to consist of finger paint, or chocolate.

Now....
Dress up used to be for fun and play
Now...
She's growing up so fast! With the little ones there's times when I just want this season of poopy diapers and no sleep to go by faster, and then there's times that I just want to freeze.

Fun at the Childrens Museum

Eventhough it's nothing like I remember it being, we had a great time today visiting the Children's Museum. We walked over with our friends who live pretty close and enjoyed the excitement of seeing the trolley up close and personal. Then met up with more of our friends for tons of fun! Caylin loved all the hands on fun. Her favorite was painting a car, a real one. This car had about 2,000 coats of paint and Caylin managed to cover her hands and arms with about 2,000 coats of paint!

What an awesome night!

One of the events I love to watch during the Olympics is gymnastics! And tonight Will, Aiana, and I went to Frosted Pink with a Twist (which is a campaign supporting women’s cancer) and got to see the US gymnastics team perform live!! Not only that, but perform to live music by Cyndi Lauper (love the 80’s!), Kenny Logins (whoo hoo footloose!), and more. I just love Shawn Johnson, she is such a sweetie and has great energy! One of my favorite routines was Shawn Johnson performing on the beam to "True Colors" (I was going to post a clip, but we were sitting so high up it wasnt worth the time, especially since the show is going to air on TV). It was such a treat! The show will be aired on ABC on Oct 12.
