Slumber Party!

Last weekend after my nephew Tanner's birthday party we brought my nieces Aubrey and Ellie back to our house for a slumber party. Actually, it started out with just Aubrey (her sister Mallory had another function to go to) and then we started thinking about sweet Ellie and how she's a big girl now and probably would really enjoy coming over for the sleepover. So, my sister Jamie brought her right over. I think the girls had a great time, they stayed busy and I enjoyed listening to their giggles. It made me so appreciative that my only child has her cousins close by who can act as sister's to her. It was so cute watching Ellie hang out with the "big girls." I know Ellie isn't a baby but we've always looked at her as that because she's the youngest girl cousin but she's definitely not a baby anymore.

Here's some pictures of the fun!

I crimped their hair...


They made Club Penguin t-shirts, we've got a couple new members now :).....

Thanks for staying girlie's...we love you!

Mother's Day!

I had a great Mother's Day! We got up and went to Starbucks before heading to church and after church we went to lunch at Texas Roadhouse, which I didn't really want to do because I didn't want to have to wait around but they got us right in and we had a yummy meal. Then, all I wanted to do for the rest of the day was put my comfies on and lay on the couch and watch chic-flicks. So, that's exactly what I did. By the end of the day I was pretty much done celebrating "myself" and decided it was probably time to hand over the remote. I had eaten SO much junk all weekend that I couldn't wait for Monday to get here so I could get back to going to the gym.

Thanks Ty and Clainey for always making me feel so special! I got a super soft robe and some pajamas, a "mom" necklace that Clainey picked out, my favorite flowers and homemade cards, which I loved. I also, came home Saturday after the tea to a freshly vacuumed house and my gorgeous flowers!

Me and my favorite girly...




My beautiful flowers I came home to on Saturday.....!

Maclaine's 1st Concert!

When we got back from Casa Grande on Saturday we took a little rest so we would be ready to take Maclaine to her first concert that night! We went to see Addison Road, which is a Christian band. They were awesome! My BFF Shannah went with us so she ended up being Clainey's date for the evening :). We went to dinner first and then headed over to the concert. We had a great time! Thanks Shannah, for going with us and being Maclaine's first date. :)

Clainey and her date...

Little love-birds...



"Aww, aren't we cute....?"


"When do I get to rock-out....?"


She stood in front of the stage the whole time...so dang cute!!!


Goodnight kiss for Clainey's first date...

Mother's Day Tea!

We went down to Casa Grande Saturday for the annual Mother's Day Tea. My Granny's sorority has been doing these teas since we were little girls. So, my sister's and I have been going with my mom and Granny for years and years. Now it's great to be able to take our little girls with us to experience the fun.

Here's Clainey and I before we headed down to CG....



Our girls....


Niece Mallory & Clainey...

Mom's and Donuts

Here's some pictures of Maclaine and I at "Mom's and Donuts" at her school the Friday before Mother's Day!

I promise I didn't roll out of bed and go, even though it looks like it....:)


YUMMY!!

"Guess who dressed me?"

My fashion designer daughter picked out my outfit for church on Sunday. It was a super cute outfit...if she had been the one wearing it. I felt a little teeny-bopperish in it but I wore it. I didn't want to do to her like I usually do to Ty when he gives me an opinion on an outfit. Usually, if he tells me he likes something, I turn around and change into something else. As you can guess, he doesn't give me much input anymore because I don't take his advice. So, when Maclaine started putting my outfit together, I decided I would be a good sport and wear it.

What do you think?

Club Penguin

Maclaine and her BFF Delani love playing on the Club Penguin website...they love it so much that they made their own "club" based on the website. They made special t-shirts and hats and they even have a little spot in Maclaine's room dedicated to their club. Ty's tried really hard to get the girls to make him a t-shirt so he can be part of the club but they won't do it unless he gives them $1000. I'm pretty sure he's going to pass on being in their cool club. :)

Oh, to be young and creative again!
