Someone is FOUR!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Four real. It is so weird how four years ago I became a mama. It seems like it went by so fast, but then at the same time, I feel like I have been a mom forever. I almost forget what it is like to not clean my kitchen 5x a day, or pick up toys like all day long, or love and logic it and try to keep my head in one piece and wonder why it takes me until 10:00 to get out of the freaking door. Sigh. But here we are- four years later. And I love being a mom- and I love that Nora gave me this title!

We threw a Strawberry Shortcake themed party complete with dressing up and dancing. It started with her first manicure-pedicure, and ended with pizza.

Love her! So fun to have a party and watch Bean and all of her friends run around and act hilarious. We had a blast.

Strawberry inspired nails- with toes to match.

A complete set-up!

Grandma Mary come to visit! We love having her and all visitors!!! It's so way totally funners. We went to Crown Center to Funville and Kaleidescope. And it was St. Patrick's Day- so we Lawrenced it up with a parade- despite the rain. We had a great time!

Bowling

We bowled with the kids! It was so fun. Even bridge was into it. We will be back. It was a great time. There even was a dance party at the alley- started by miss payton of course :)

Takin a break

I havent blogged in awhile. I have been lazy lets face it. Busy lazy but lazy for my standard is still kind of insane. But basically i just needed a hiatus. Gettig back to it!

Last night i told nora when it was bedtime that mommy needed to take a break. She told me she needed a break too. So i couldnt help but snuggle me girl and 'take a break' with her.

But my fav memory of the day with bean by far was my impromptu hibachi dinner with miss amanda and pay. after a little scuffle with another diner at our table who cared not to sit with children.... We had fun! Nora ate her edamame and her soup- her palate is great. So when the chef asked everyone if they wanted to catch shrimp in their mouth, nora promptly raised her hand and said 'i do!' so she attempted- four times!!! She leaned her head back and opened her mouth- omg. That girl. She was so funny. She got pretty close too!

Wish i had pics of it- but my bridge wasnt feeling so great, so i was holding her the entire meal to keep her and the other diners happy. Iy yi ti

Friday night dance party

Because pizza and dancing is a super awesome combo. Its been a Friday night tradition for the past few weeks. Bridget tells us to 'stand up' and her and nora giggle and dance in circles and p and i join them and do shoulder rolls and stuff.

They also got into flour last week after we made cookies- so there is that too.

Girls! So fun!

Favy quote-

So my pastor said something last week that i dont want to forget (he actually if fact quoted it from someone else...)

- don't ask Jesus into your life- your life is a mess. Instead walk with jesus in his life.

Well- it was something like that. Anyway- it made me laugh and made sense too.

That is all.
