Roller rama

The girls were invited to a birthday party at Crystal Palace, the local skate rink. Kind of reminds me of the one in Wellington..old and beat down, but fun!! They had a blast and they looked so cute...yes, I crimped their hair. I know, I am dork. I was sticking with the theme!!!!










Sydnee needed a little help from Daddy at first...

Drive In Time

We have an old drive in here in Las Vegas that is still up and running. But, now you tune your radio to a specific station instead of putting the little speaker on your window. Well, every year about this time we try and hit the drive in with the kiddos as much as we can. The weather is good (we don't melt cuz the Vegas heat is starting to come to an end) and we love being outside watching a good kid flick. So we took the kids over the weekend to see Igor (I don't recommend it, it was a little too morbid for my liking). They were asleep within the first hour. John and I finished the movie off and then drove over to another screen to enjoy an adult movie while the kids slept next to us in the back of the truck on a blow up mattress. It was a blast!!!

School Days

We had a meet n greet night at Ariana's school the week before school started. Her teacher just posted this pic on the class website so I stole it so I could post it here..ha ha!! It was a good night. Ariana has an amazing 2nd grade teacher and I am so thrilled that she got to be in Mrs. Cayer's class. Although we have TONS of homework every night. :(

Toothless Wonder

Ariana lost her third tooth tonight. This little bugger has been loose for almost 6 months and no matter how much she wiggled it, it would not get any looser. Well, she decided she had enough of that crazy tooth. She came home from school and started biting down hard on an apple. Then wiggling it as hard as she could between bites. She worked on her tooth for about two hours before it was finally ready for me to pull it out. I kept telling her to leave it alone and wait until it was ready but she was determined to have that thing out and some money under her pillow in the morning!!!!

First Days of School

I wanted to post some pics to celebrate both of my girls first days of school. Ariana started 2nd grade on Aug. 25th and Sydnee just started preschool yesterday. They were both excited on their big days....I was not so much. I just can't believe that I have a 7 year old and that my baby is 4 and already old enough for preschool. I have to say though that my sadness did not last too long. I had 3 hours to myself so I went to the gym and then got a pedicure...I took full advantage of my alone time. But, I sure was happy to pick my Sydnee Lou up from school.

Girls night in...

Daddy worked late one night so the girls and I gave ourselves pedicures. It is so fun to have girls because then they can join you in your girly rituals. So we picked colors and decals we wanted and went to work. We had a blast!!!

Princesses....

My girls had their annual recital in June..I know I am behind. They did so well. Ariana's dance was a tap number to "Fabulous"...she was so excited to do a High School Musical song. Sydnee did a tap number to "Hey Good Lookin'". Watching them dance makes me so proud!!!
