Bad mommy...

Okay so I was a bad mommy the other night. Right before the girls got in the shower, I got busted by Raena putting some cookies away and the moment she saw them said "cookie please". I couldn't help it.....she's just too darn cute and of course Izzy had to have one too.

Busy, Busy, Busy

Monday - Jason, my niece, and I floated down the Salt River. It was a lot of fun, I haven't been in about 7 years.

Tuesday - We went to Sun Splash water park and again had a lot of fun going down the slides, in the wave pool, and soaking up the sun.

Wednesday - I took my niece to a tour for ASU. Then we ate at Kabuki Japanese Restaurant and had sushi, YUMMY! Then we shopped all afternoon.

Thursday - Brought my niece to the airport. Man was I exhausted!

Sorry I don't have pictures of any of our outings because most of it involved water and I don't have a waterproof camera, LOL.

Playing in the rain....

Don't you love acting like a kid and playing in the rain. We are having a wonderful rainy Sunday evening. Jason was showing me the plants & tree he planted and girls decided to play in the rain.

Our Artist

Yesterday the girls were coloring and I was quite impressed on how Izzy has gotten better at coloring. I guess practice does make perfect!

We have an exciting event planned for tomorrow!

Izzy's Letters

I wish I was as creative as Izzy. Her imagination is so neat. Today she wrote a letter to her friend. She told her a story about a princess meeting her prince and living in a castle.


I was promptly informed I needed to get an envelope and stamp to send the letters off to her friend.

My babies are growing up

We stayed in today. Izzy was running a low fever and has a runny nose. We skipped our Summer Movie, Alvin & The Chipmunks, and watched it at home instead. The girls enjoyed it, mostly I think because it had music in it and I made popcorn.

Back to the subject of my post. Last night Izzy discovered she can open the gate in the family room, which means trouble for mommy & daddy because she lets her sister out as well. I also realized Raena is putting sentences together quite well. For instance, 'I don't want to take a nap!'. After her little protest she did nap. None the less, she's going to be 2 in less than a month and getting quite talkative.

That's it for now, I need to start prepping for dinner.

New Look

So the header picture is about as creative as I can get! I'm not what you call artistically inclined, thus stick figures, LOL.

I wish I knew HTML better! That is a college course I might just have to take. Speaking of that I am currently in the process of figuring out what to do about getting my degree. I am 3 classes shy of an associates degree and I would prefer to do everything online. I have more research to do and hopefully I will be a student again this fall.
