Weekend Fun

It's been a fun and eventful weekend. Friday night was my schools Halloween Howl which consisted of food, a haunted house, and carnival. It was a long day since I started work at 8 AM and finally left work at 9:30 PM that evening! The evening was a blast and the kids had fun. We had an awesome turnout and the best part of it is that our class auction basket won $160 which goes directly to me and my classroom. I ran a booth with another teacher, although many of my awesome parents took half hour shifts to relieve me, so I was able to walk around with the kiddos, play some of the fun games, pet the K-9 dog, and horse, and then treat myself to a yummy Retro Bakery cupcake...OK maybe two.

Saturday morning Madison had to perform at Centennial Hills Day at the Butterfly Park. Kids were able to wear their costumes and Jaxon flat out REFUSED to put his cute Spider man costume on. Camryn looked cute in her bumble bee costume. Madison had to perform at 12 PM and the temperature had to be about 90 degrees. We were roasting! Poor Camryn was wearing all black, I felt so bad but I kept promising her that we were going to the carnival as soon as Maddie was done dancing. Madison's group did really well and I was video taping so I don't have any pictures. By the time we got Madison, loaded chairs and bags into the car, and then walked up and down the hill to the park area...the event closed. Yep, the whole darn community event ended at 1:00 and we'd just missed it. Melt down time for the kiddos occurred until they saw the fun park. We played for a little bit but it was so dang hot that we didn't stay long. We all actually got sunburned!

Little One's

Funny what happens to your camera when it's left laying around. Camryn got a hold of my camera and these are the best of 100 photos that she took of herself. Love the mouth ones!



Jaxon insists on wearing sunglasses when he goes to bed and loves to wear my bra and heels. Paul is slightly worried!!!




Camryn had her very first princess party and she was so excited for the big day to arrive. She had her pretty party dress, her hair curled, and pretty pink lipstick for the big day. She had a great time and didn't want to come home.





Here is Jaxon when he found out he wasn't going to the party with Camryn. Poor guy!


On our Las Vegas "cold snap" when the temperatures were around 50 degrees where would I find my two little darlings but playing in the nice, cold tap water. Little stinker Jaxon knew to hold the hose out toward anyone who came near him so I got drenched trying to turn off the water. But who can resist that cute lil' face!!

Update

Hubby is home and doing good. His throat is sore and he's pretty hoarse, but everything went well. Thanks again for the prayers and well wishes!

About My Day

Hurray for the little things that can turn your days upside down. For those of you who heard,my hubby had a minor surgery late Sunday night. At dinner the previous Saturday he started choking on a piece of meat which then became lodged in his esophagus. He happened to be in Wells, NV deer hunting so when he got home we quickly went to the ER due to him puking every 15 minutes and not being able to even swallow his own saliva (gross!) The doctors gave him medicine to relax the muscles in his throat to see if whatever was lodged would come out. It didn't so he had the emergency procedure Sunday evening at 9:30. Poor baby had to be put to sleep and then his throat was roto rootered to get the nice, piece of prime rib out. Now, he's still in the hospital due to having a fever and a possible infection. But, he's doing much better than before so thanks for the prayers and well wishes.
That was my Sunday and how was your day?

Still in a Picture Funk

Seriously... I'm lazy. Whenever I have the time to download some photos my camera is downstairs and I'm just too lazy to run down to get it. So for now I'll list my favorite things from the past week.

1. Retro Bakery. Ok, so not a part of my diet, but so so good. I had a lemon cupcake with pink lemonade frosting. Yummy! Located at Durango and Deer Springs.

2. Juicy Couture perfume. Smells so good and now one of my favs. Thanks sis for the gift!

3. Elephant Bar. Reminds me of Rainforest Cafe, yet more leopard and tiger looking decor. A really fun place for the fam, but kinda pricey. Located at the District in Green Valley.

4. Juice It Up. Also not part of the diet, but the one I like is only 220 calories a serving and I've really cut down and only get it once a week now. Thursday is $3 day so that's the day to go. Located on the corner of Craig and Jones.

5. LOVE Halloween! One of my favorite holidays and always one that I decorate the most for, besides Christmas. Does that make me evil?

6. The realization that track break is in less than 4 weeks! Yahoo!!
