We made it!

Our home away from home...

We are tired!

The preferred spot!

Potty training??

Mexico bound again?

Yep.  We leave early Friday morning.  For a whole week.  Kids don't know yet, so shhh!

Pilates~

Have I mentioned that I have been doing Pilates this month?  I almost forgot how great it is!  It is a nice break from the gym...

Even when we are fighting,

I still love you...

Will they ever like each other?

That is my million dollar question...

I just don't see how Aubrey and Dalin will ever be friends?  She has had a chip on her shoulder ever since the day he was born.  And it seems to only be getting worse!  I really don't know what to do about it?  Do I need to do anything about it?  Do I just let them be?  I realize siblings are going to fight, but this is more than that!  She just struggles whenever he is around.  She seems sad.  It makes me sad.

UGH~

Sweaty Saturday~

Both kids had a game at 1:00.  It was really hard to separate.  I obviously wanted to go to both!  I went to Aubrey's and Darrin went to Dalin's.  They get to the baseball fields and it was cancelled due to a flood!  So daddy made it to Aubrey's just in time!  She played great!  

Team mom duties included getting the banner made

Go get that ball!

Parent/teacher conferences...

All is well!!

So clean...

Have I ever mentioned that I hate the dentist.  I get so nervous even for a cleaning! 

2 places at once?!

Aubrey has soccer practice from 4:45 to 6 on Wed.  I thought, what are the odds that Dalin's baseball practice will fall on Wed?  Guess what.  Wed!!  6 to 8.  No time in between.  How am I suppose to pull this one off.  AND both of them have Sat. only games.  And 5 out of 8 are at the same time.  UGH~

OOPS~

I dropped my phone today like I have a hundred times and this was the result!  I went to Apple, told em my sob story and they did an exchange.  PHEW~

Proud mama~

At first I couldn't think of anything to write about... then I remembered the highlight of my day!  I went to pick up Aubrey from piano and she was playing a duet with her teacher.  It was so good I cried.  I am so proud of her and her musical talents!

Of course before I got the video camera she had done it perfect twice, but you get the idea.  :)

GOOD bye NY~

I decided I can do NY in small doses.  It was fun...  I am happy to be home though!

Lou, Brooke and us.  

Our first place was torn down and this was in it's place.  :(

Central Park love!

We surprised Nino our wonderful Italian neighbor!

New York in pictures...

It has been a whirl wind couple days.  But here are the pix from my phone.  The rest are on my camera and I didn't bring the usb for it, so I will upload those when I get home!  We will be home in 12 hours!

My pizza!

D on the subway...

street meat!

K glass and I...

The girls!!!

The line for the shake shack.  We didn't wait in it!

Favorite building!

Cheers!

Classic!!!

I am at my friends wedding. I go to the bathroom. I come out of the bathroom and join the precession to the ceremony... Some guy walks up behind me, taps me on the shoulder and tells me I have toilet paper and points down. Sure enough I am trailing a foot Long piece of toilet paper from my shoe as I walk! Never had that happen before! I pulled to the side to remove it while everyone continued past me. I look for Darrin and he is up ahead laughing! Hey thanks big guy for the help! It was pretty funny!!!

Wedding was lovely! Pics to come! Too tired!

In New York...

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of...

We made it!  We didn't even check in to our hotel when we landed at 10.  We went straight to Union Square.  

C

Peace, love and Mac n cheese!

That is our view from our window... the ever beautiful St. Patrick's!

Goodnight.  We will hit the ground running tomorrow!

Nasty bug!

I have no idea what is going on... a week and a half ago, I started the "bug" that swept through our house for the week.  I was up at 5 a.m. barfing and it was bad!

Then D got it and it was even worse.

Then Halle bear.  Poor punkin.

Then Dalin.

Aubrey was spared.

Then, this morning, I get sick again... what's up?!  I am just praying I feel better in the morning and that it stays away from the kids while D and I are gone this weekend.

New York, here we come!

What would I do?

I would be LOST without you two!  

Love you both!

Can you say twins?  

Karate kid

Grandparents day cont'd...

Thank you grandma and grandpa Johnson for being there for my kids on that special day!

Traffic school...

So annoying!  I am doing it online so it is just boring and long!  I am on the last chapter, it will be a good Sunday afternoon project.   Speaking of Sunday, I got called as the laurel advisor in our ward, so I am teaching the girls every Sunday now.  Looking forward to it!

Here are my karaoke girls!

Don't they sing so pretty?

Me, not so much!!

Success!

The day was a huge success.  I am very happy it is over and went so smoothly!  Everyone seemed to be happy and there were no huge hiccups.  Not too bad for our first year.  Yep, first year, they are begging us to do it again next year.

On a different note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BENNY~
I love you no matter how old you are getting!!  I am so lucky to count you as one of my very best friends!!

Now let's Karaoke!!!!

This is how I feel...

Tomorrow is the day we have been planning for three weeks... grandparents day!  Wish us luck!!!

What?

Many faces...

PTA~

Oh my.

It has been a fun one!  Once this week is over and grandparents day is done, it should get better.  Lots of work!

Where is my baby?

Time goes too fast!!!

It's a new day...

Finally done with my jacked hair from my perm... so I took about 9 inches off!

Really?

I saw a great movie tonight and like other great movies that I see, I habitually to come home and write about them in my journal.  It occurred to me on the way home that I won't write in my journal tonight, but instead on my blog, cuz after all I deemed it my "journal".... well who am I kidding?  This is so not my journal!  There is nothing personal, emotional, or heartfelt that I would put on here for all my friends and family to see.  I just need to accept this for what it really is.  A blog!  I have succumb to bragging about my cute family and my fun life!  News flash Kelly: you have a blog!

I am going to reach for my journal right now and start once again writing in IT.  It has been too long.  I have lots to say~

The Help.  Go see it.

Night night!

TROUBLE~
