Yay for Birthdays

A week ago it was my birthday it was nothing big just another day because I still had to babysit Dean and Leah although Russell did take the whole day off from work to be here to help me.  I took Felicity to on play date to the park with some kids from her nursery class and yes I got many calls from my family and my parents came to visit on there way to Mary Poppins but my dad had tons of work to do so he gave me his ticket!  I saw it in New York a few years ago and it was awesome so I was really excited to see it again especially the "step in time" dance!!  Mary Poppins face was sooo white kinda like mime white and I think Bert was way better here then in New York. 

Today my birthday present came A new laptop!  I'm so excited I'm sitting in bed blogging again yay!!

Russell started being general manager at a second store so he is crazy busy running two stores and taking an online class.  As if I didn't already feel like he was a work enough already sure a another store that needs help getting things back under good control... it sucks!
Dean comes to my house super early in the morning 630am until 4pm I still have no patience for that kid he drives me crazy!! 3 more weeks 3 more weeks I think I can I think I can survive that long!! 
Leah is my little angel baby even though she wouldn't take a nap today little punk!
Felicity is my little princess learning something new everyday and is so independent  practically pushes me out the door of nursery. 

First Pedicure

Star Nails in Farmington is my new favorite place to get a pedicure because the workers there are awesome and were so nice and and even gave Felicity a small pedicure. 

Felicity kept wanting to put her feet in the tub with me so they let her and then put lotion on her legs and even painted her toes pink! She was loving it and we had so much fun having some girl time together.

Thank you Star Nails for giving us such a fun memory that I will remember for ever and ever your the best! 

I'm so proud..

First My new hair color darker brown with Carmel highlights I think theses pictures are hard to tell but oh well..

A few days ago my awesome sweet husband was on his way home from work when he saw a older lady out mowing her lawn and decided that she could use some help so when he was done she gave him some cucumbers and a zucchini from her garden I thought oh that was sweet of her but I don't cook so what in the world am I going to do with this Zucchini well then I thought well I suppose I could try bread so I called my mom who agreed to help me so I was like sweet this will be awesome so last Saturday Felicity and I headed up to my mom's Marijo took Felicity and her boys so the tree house and my mom gave instructions and I made the bread all by myself and for those who know me well know that I HATE cooking so this is big for me and I am so proud the bread is yummy to! :)

15 months

I first just let me say say that Felicity is amazing because we had her 15 month doc. appointment today which also means shots one in each leg!  During the examination she wanted the cookies she found in my bag and after giving her two I said that she could have more after the doctor was done and after her shots.  She didn't want to talk or show off all and when I first put her on the table she got a little nervous but she was so brave and didn't cry at all!!  I got her a cookie and the nurse gave her a Ratatouille sticker and she was good!  I couldn't believe how happy she was as we walked out I saw the nurse and asked "your sure she's done you got both shots in her right?"  yep she's awesome!

Nephew sleepover

I think my husband is the weirdest guy I know(see picture below) but he is the funnest guy I know.  This summer he had a camp out in my parents backyard no wait it was supposed to be  but it rained so they slept inside so it was more like a sleepover with the some of the nephews on both side of our families, but sadly there are no pictures of that night. 

A few weeks later he had another sleepover this time at our house with the nephew's from his side.  We at hot dogs, watched toy story 3, they went swimming and then played video games!  I sure they all had fun getting together because William was in town from Wyoming so this worked out great Alex couldn't sleep over though so Russell took him home pretty late.

The next morning I had to babysit Damion and Dean.  Damion really enjoyed having the boys to play video games with! 

Check out Felicity's awesome bedhead hehe:)

Bees game

We love getting out to the baseball games to sit on the grass and eat dipping dots and nachos! We sat on the grass and Felicity was so cute cheering and dancing even though it rained on us that didn't stop Felicity I barely got her jacket on but when I tried to wrap a blanket around her and sit on my lap she wouldn't have it!

 

of course she had to wear the super cute bee hair clip

Then there was fireworks the big "bomb ones" where way to loud and scary for her but she like the others fine and I have no idea how she can fall asleep so easily watching fireworks especially because they were so close but she did again!!!

When Russell was younger, he remembers that on Sunday nights his family would watch a Disney show "The Magical World of Disney".  I love this idea so we have decided to start a new family tradion of this.  We have gone to Deseret Inudstries and bought nine different movies for just ten dollars!

The first week we watched Lion King; the second week we skipped as we were at the hospital with his sister; the third week we watched Winnie the Pooh; the fourth week we watched Hercules! :)

Felicity of course is still little that she doesnt sit down and watch, but when the songs come on she stands up and dances. She then goes back to playing, but some day I think she will like the tradition.

Sadly, Disney's version on TV networks ended in 2008, but we'll be snapping up plenty of cheap movies to keep it going for our family.
