Happy Birthday to me.

OK...lets just put it out there. Yes I turned 40 this year. The girls and I went out lunch with family(mom, Tara, Rylie, Bode Jamie, Kardon, Kylie and Oakley) at the Olive Garden and of course they brought black balloons. When I got home there was a ginormous poster on my garage that announced my birthday to the world. Thank you Tara and Rylie....and yes I got honked at all day. Jaiden and Camry thought it was hilarious. Some of my neighbors kept circling the block and honking.

The next day my friends (Tallie, Amelia, Emily, Jayna and Jessica) took me to Firehouse for lunch and then surprised me with a certificate to get my hair done (Thanks Tami) and a massage that I am so looking forward to. Thanks guys. You are the best!

School Daze

Heading back to school. Even though I a little apprehensive to send Jaiden to Middle School, she is so excited. She loves organizing her new locker and all her new folders for each class. Each night she spends about a half an hour picking out her clothes, shoes, jewelery and getting her back pack ready. It's a good thing she loves school because she starts at 7:25. When I asked her how her first day of school was, she said "It was great! I walked in the door and got slammed into a locker, my pizza was cold and the salad was hot, then some boy slammed my locker shut." Welcome to Middle School. She thought it was all pretty funny. She wants to wake up at 6:00 every morning to get ready. Hopefully that will wear off and we can sleep a half hour longer.

This was how excited Camry was for 3rd grade. She wanted to get up with Jaiden at 6:00 am even though school doesn't start until 9:05. So this was her out jumping on the tramp. Camry really likes her teacher Mrs. Fluckiger. She wanted a lunch from home by the second day too. I think she is a little bit sad not to have her big sister there at the elementary with her. She looks up to her so much. She loves picking out her clothes the night before and getting everything ready. I think she will have a great year.
