life happenings

Well last week was just a whirlwind of busy.  We had cheer camp for school and the girls did so good. We also had other cheer practice along with our Girl Scout end of the year party and car wash fundraiser for All-Star. This week thankfully is a little less busy, so I'm hoping to get some things done around the house and get back on track with my First 5 and reading my bible.  Next week starts VBS for the local church. Also how is Bre turning 6 on Thursday? I dont believe it and still am in denial!!! 

So cheer camp started on Monday last week and was for 3 hours all week, then Friday, they put on a performance for what they learned during the week. It was a long day for the girls but I think all in they had a great time. They got to meet their coaches for the football season, learn their half-time dance and a cheer and sideline. We have 9 girls on our squad and they're all so excited for the season to start.

Our end of the year girl scout party was Wednesday & it was a lot of fun. We went to a local indoor pool and the girls did not want to get out. We had a little mishap with the pizza delivery but we gave the girls cupcakes and they were happy. Despite being up super late and swimming for over an hour, they did so awesome at practice the next day!

Saturday we did a car wash with our All-Star team and it was such a beautiful day and they did really good for not too much traffic. I had to teach Saturday evening at church, I was beat from being out in the sun all day, I only had 3 kids so it was super easy. Sunday I went to early service and had class.

This week, Bre has her yearly check-up (which already resulted in tears thinking she has to get shots even though she doesn't). She also decided she doesn't want to do American Girl store and she wants to have a party, so we will also be doing that this month! I can't believe it's almost July so you know what that means? NKOTB concert!!!! I am so excited, but I am sure if you know me all too well, you already knew that.

I haven't been keeping up too much with my 100 Days of pressing pause either and I really need to get back into that!!! I know busyness shouldn't be an excuse, but I haven't been getting up early like I used to during school. So that is a goal that I need to work on again!!  Ok, I have rambled enough I will update when I get a chance again.

weekend things.....

Can I have another weekend from my weekend to recover? Oh my, this weekend was one of the busiest we have had in quite a while! Next weekend may actually be even busier now that I am thinking about it...

 

Saturday my friend's daughter had her birthday party and then we had church. We are starting a new series and I am so excited for the next 5 weeks to get into it. I am trying to get more involved in the church and join a small group, I have a few that I emailed about and I am hoping to hear back soon. I also am hoping to serve with the church too whether it be a greeter an usher or something like that. Bre is loving it every week more and more now that she is actually in a "class" setting rather than the nursery! This week  National Aviary brought in some birds. They had a scarlet macaw, a penguin and some other bird she couldn't remember. She talks about it the whole ride home

 

School friends birthday parties have officially started. I knew this would happen soon enough but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I won't lie, I wasn't really looking forward to going because if I am going to be honest, I am uncomfortable going places where I dont know anyone and I just feel.........awkward. (Our town is so small that everyone pretty much know everyone and I feel like I know no-one). I do know a few moms from school but I had no idea who was or wasn't invited so I was going in totally blind. I have been trying to just not be so awkward about going places alone where I dont know anyone and step out of my comfort zone because if we are going to be honest here, I am sure I am going to be meeting these parents sooner or later anyways! It turned out to be a good time and I ended up seeing a few of the moms I know. 

 

They had the party at a local pumpkin patch and there was so much to do for the kids. Bre and her one classmate ran around the playground for almost the entire time, they have some little bikes they can ride, a corn maze, small "haunted house", and lots of other fun things.

 

This week, I have to pull the final things together for the class Halloween party and a few other little things.....next weekend we have yet another busy weekend (2 trick or treatings, cheer private, church and cheer/tumbling) it makes me so tired just thinking about it, can I just take a nap now? 

weddings, birthday celebrations, family and fun

Ever have one of those weekends that you need a recovery from the weekend? That is how I am feeling! It was a fun filled weekend for sure! I do admit tho, at times (since I do stay at home) I enjoy a busy weekend! And this one surely did NOT disappoint! 

Friday I got some stuff done around the house while B was at work and we just chilled out and watched Rio 2 until kiddo went to bed then watched some Blue Bloods 

 Saturday morning got a much needed mani/pedi (seriously one of my favorites) and then did some running around before heading back home to get ready for the wedding! Our friends Brad and Jen got married and we unfortunately missed the ceremony but the reception was so much fun and everything was absolutely beautiful. Breanna was her shy self at first because she was in a place with a lot of random people she didn't know but she made friends w the flower girls and had so much fun dancing and just playing in the photo-booth. I kind of regret not having one at our wedding, they are so much fun and a great way to get some funny/fun shots of all the guests. I was hoping to stay a little later than we did but when a certain little lady gets tired you have to leave. 

I unfortunately didn't get much sleep, Breanna woke up around 1 from a bad dream and Baxter ended up peeing in his crate since he had nothing to lay on so I brought him downstairs to sleep and every time I would move to get comfortable he would move closer and closer and  our couch isn't the most comfortable to sleep on. 

Sunday was up earlier than I would've liked. We did the normal grocery shopping and normal Sunday errands, and then headed out to my nephews' birthday party at the trampoline park. I was really hoping Breanna would like it at first she was hesitant (it is a pretty big place) but then she saw another little girl her age on and she was like I wanna jump! And boy did she!!! They had a little over an hour of jump time and she didn't stop until the time was up!  I foresee a lot of trampoline jumping in our future w her.

This week should be fairly busy, we have some things to do before Breanna and I head on vacation. I kind of started packing (throwing a bunch of things in the suitcase) My sister said it's going to be almost 100* next week, so I dont know how I am going to prepare for that, hopefully lots of time near water! Have a wonderful week. I will try and pop in before we head south!
