BROOKLYN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yesterday we had a birthday party for Brooklyn at the park. Little did I know it would be over 100 degrees. Luckily Toby went and baught one of those easy up shades or we all would have died from heat stroke! There was a light breeze and that helped a lot and the little kids all had on swimsuites and ran around in the water fountains so atleast they were able to cool off a little bit.
Even with the heat we had a lot of fun. We had some good friends show up and it was really nice to sit under the shade and have some fun conversations. I had my friend Melanie there and she did an awesome job of making Brooklyns cake. And we also had a piniata, which in my opinion was the highlight of the day. All the kids were very polite when picking up there candy. They were all so stinkin cute.
I just want to tell everyone who came thanks so much. I know it was so dang hot but we really appreciate you coming and being a part of little Bings birthday party. She got so many fun gifts and ever since then has been trying on all her new dress up clothes.

Eating our yummy pizza!
Dylen is seriously so dang cute with Nikell. I love it!
Brooklyn was so excited to give Abby a hug that she actually knocked her over.
Little Nikell was sick so she had a rough time for some of the party. She finally fell asleep in daddy's arms.

Look how excited Brooklyn got when she saw her cake. What a cutie.
Doesnt Melanie do an awesome job. Thanks Mel Brooklyn loved it!

I think this was Brooklyns favorite part of the party. She was so happy, I think she finally understood that this was all for her.


Abby and Addison helped us cut the cake.

Brooklyn seriously did not want to give her cake up. She could have sat there all day just taking tiny bites of her cake. She got pretty upset when we took it away to open presants.

Max buddy. Someday he will be the one to hit the piniata down so that it breaks. The girls are a little too gentle.

All the girls looked so cute in their swimsuites picking up the candy.
Just checking out her candy.

Opening some really fun presants.
I love how the little girls just sat around Brooklyn watching her open her presants.
Max was excited about his car. He was the only boy there, all I have to say is he is going to have a lot of girlfriends some day! Isnt he adorable, we love our Max!
exhausted from a long hot day.

I have more pictures of all your cute kid's so give me a little while and I will try and email them to you all.

These pictures are of today. She had so much fun trying on all of the gifts she got yesterday.

Nikell is sitting up so good lately.
Brooklyn was reading her new fairy book to Nikell.

GIRLS TRIP CONTINUED

The second day of our trip was a lot of fun. We all got ready and went to breakfast at this restraunt called Sambos. It was delicious!!! We all really loved the food and we had a great time just talking and laughing about random things. After breakfast we took a little walk on the beach and decided to play a little volleyball. Im laughing right now even thinking about it because I am sure people were looking at us like we were idiots. I have to say I took one for the team and did a pretty sick dive that covered me in sand from head to toe. If you can see by the pictures I spent most of the time on the ground. I got clothes lined by the net and it just took me out. It was so dang funny. My friends really just crack me up!
After our professional volleyball game we walked down the pier and went to a couple of shops. By that time we were all ready to see our family so we decided to head home.
I was so excited to see my man and my girl's. I missed them like crazy. I have to say thanks to my babe for watching the girls and really supporting me with this whole thing. Babe your so good to me, thanks a bunch. And thanks my cute friends for all the good times. I love you all and hope to do it again soon.

SUCH A FUN TRIP!

I just have to say I am so lucky to have met such awesome friends out here in California. We had so much fun on our trip, I can't even explain how fun it was. I am surprised I dont have sore stomach muscles from laughing so hard. Our man Jack was pretty awesome in concert. His voice is pretty hot and he's not too bad himself. I loved it!!! Every second of our trip was so much fun and I just loved being with my cute friends. I have a lot of pictures so I am going to break it up a little bit.
We left on Wednesday morning Toby was kind enough to let me drive his car. (Thanks babe) It took us about 5 hours to drive to Santa Barbara and all I have to say is it has been a long time since I have been able to turn chick music up full blast and sing/dance with girlfriends for that long in a car. It was awesome! My Grease sound track was resurected after being dead for a very long time. When we got there we checked into our hotel and I did all my friends nails and we all got beautified for Jack. I have such beautiful friends and it was so fun getting all girly for our fun night out.


The concert was so much fun. Jack Johnson really is awesome and he really freakin rocks on the guitar. We had so much fun laughing at funny people and seeing a little too much skin for our liking. Not to mention getting a slight buzz from the second hand smoke from all the pot heads.
