....so this was quite dramatic!

my girl is getting so big! -tear-

 my baby!!!!!! I love her! :)

{Girl's Night!}

On Monday night Alenna and I had a Girls Night! Alenna and I met 3 of our friends at the theater...Alenna is good friends with these three other girls and I am great friends with all their moms so it really worked out to be great time! Here we are at Walmart stocking up on candy...that's not our wine in the back LOL

They all went in in their jammies and were stinking adorable!

We saw 'Despicable Me' or as Alenna calls it 'Spicable Me'

The girls were a hoot watching it!!! They would crack up at the silly parts and dance too!

 Practicing....

Alenna was entertaining us with her dancing....

The four musketeers! Katie, Raelyn, Alenna and Sariah....

{Puppy Play Date!}

On Monday we went over to a friends house to play with her liter of puppies!!

They are sooooo cute! I wanted to take each one home with us!

Brady kept saying 'woof woof'

They played in the water with the puppies, it was really fun!

...though I think MY kids favorite part was the snacks....

Shaylin looks totally annoyed here, she loved the puppies too, she kept wanting to pet them

Alenna and her BFF...haha, they are too cute

{Hot Enough?}

I have no idea how people lived without a/c! My kids discovered their love for the sprinklers...

Brady and Alenna playing with the water hose...I may need to buy a 2nd one!

He kept asking her..."like?" haha!

My silly man...

She's dancing...

I love Brady's face here!

Summer be gone!! At least the kids don't notice how miserable the weather is! (110+ WITH humidity...yeah)

My little ShayShay cracking up in her seat :)

{I Apoligize...}

...for being MIA; we've been busy as heck! Here's the scoop!

Alenna has finished her dance class and now is enjoying swimming, though Daddy and I are hating being out in the July muggy heat- ahhh, the things we go through for our kids right??

 Here she is at her dance class. FYI mommies- totally worth doing! She had a blast!

Here she is at swimming...

Note to self- no swimming classes in July ever again! At least she's loving it, & thats all that matters, right?! ;)

Ahhh, my little Brady man: he fills my life with so much...whats the word? Work? Yes, work...

such a goofy picture but I love this guy to pieces! Brady has turned a corner we think, that is he will go to Nursery without mom and dad! Which is a huge relief, not only do we have Shaylin with us, but we also teach Sunday School!

Brady is our difficult child at the moment- we've learned he's lactose intolerant (which works out well, I actually prefer the taste of soy milk to regular and now I have an excuse to buy it!) Brady is not talking like we would like him to be, he has an appt to get his hearing checked at an Audiologist on Friday and he begins speech therapy in August.

How can you not just melt though? He's helping me make 'soy sugar cookies' here.

Shaylin is just such a sweet baby, she's 8 months old now! She has no teeth yet, thank heavens and is still nursing really well, I hope to nurse the entire year (I never have before!) She's 'scooting' and says 'dadda.' She still is not sleeping through the night (my other two slept through the night 6 weeks and on!) -I guess I was lucky. I don't mind though. My days are so unbelievably crazy its nice to have just one on one time with her at night. (my theory is she KNOWS thats her only mommy time and thats why she fails to sleep straight through the night)

As for other news, school starts for Ryan in August, Ryan is anxious to begin Block 2. He was able to switch his clinicals this semester to be here in Mesa, (they have been in Casa Grande) and he's happy about that.

He is still working at PMT, they trained him to be able to go on 911 calls. He has some pretty funny stories! 911 is much more in line with his nursing goals so we were happy when he was able to do that.

He bought a junker off craigslist and has been working on 'flipping' it. Ryan and I are totally dejunking our lives. Everything we own has been in boxes and in storage this whole time and we've been totally cleaning everything up and out! Our goal is to get our house is order, how two people who have been married so few years can accumulate so much is beyond me, though I guess I shouldn't complain!

(a flash back to daddy's football days! and great example of the for-mentioned junk we're clearing out)

As for me, all the above keeps me on my toes! I am enjoying Sookie Stackhouse right now and TrueBlood.

and that's us!

An Anouncement!!

I've been debating if I should go private for a while now and due to some recent things happening I think I am going to...sorry but I have to do everything I can to protect my little ones.

 If you want to be invited please give me your email so i can invite you, all is welcome!!!

I really enjoy reading all your comments, even those of you who we may only talk online, I don't want to lose contact so please whoever you are let me know!

{fireworks, fun & the boob church...}
