Girls Night!

Last Friday night I got together with a group of friends from college.  I can not tell you how much I adore these girls.....We ALWAYS have a blast together gossiping and hanging out.  On this night we decided to stay in and have our own little slumber party at Chrissy's house.  It was scheduled to start at 6:30 but my friend Calli and I decided to take the turnpike to get to Eudora and realized it was the wrong decision.  Thanks to the fabulous construction our 45 minute drive turned into what felt like a 2 hour drive. By the time we got to Chrissy's the girls had gone through 4 bottles of wine already.  :) 

Calli, Andrea, Allison, Amanda, Chrissy and Me!  Love these girls!

I'm not a wine drinker AT ALL but i brought my own little 4 pack of granny drinks (fuzzy navels) and we were ready to get the party started.  Did I mention that we all were wearing sweats?  I love it! 

After gossiping and catching up in the house for a while we decided to head out to the fire pit with our bottle of boones......Let me tell you....this crap tasted so much better when I was in high school.  I couldn't even bring myself to finish a glass of this stuff.  No worries---thanks to Chrissy alone my girls ----The bottle was gone by the end of the evening. 

Boones--Strawberry Hill!  YUCK

It was such a fun night as I am sure some of you can tell based on our facebook posts.  We decided the next day that we are so thankful there was no texting or facebook when we were in college.  WHAT A DISASTER that would of been. 

Until next time!  Love you girls!!!

Best Buddies

School is going great so far!  Karley loves her teacher and loves being in cheer (instead of dance)  We are finally getting back into the swing of things......it's always kind of a mess the first few weeks of school but this year has been very easy! 
I was going through some old photos of Karley tonight and came across this one.  It was taken at the ball field last season and I just had to share it.  These three have so much fun when they are together.  I am lucky to have their moms as my good friends as well.  Enjoy!

Mia, Karley and Kyler



First day of 3rd Grade!!

Back to School!  I can hardly believe its already here.  Where did summer go?  Karley found out last Friday who her teacher is going to be this year.  It was the longest day ever.....She got Mrs. David and couldn't be more excited.  I am praying that we have a smooth year.  I have heard that 3rd grade at IH is really difficult.  I say BRING IT.  We're ready. (except for the math part.....TZ can take care of that!)  :)

So, shes excited about her teacher and most of her classmates.  She even told me that she feels its going to be a really good year.  I love this.  If you remember, we struggle every single year with the tears and not wanting to go to school.  This year she seemed ready and even a little excited.  Now if we could just get the bedtime routine back on track.....

Here are a few photos from the first day. 

Bug before breakfast.  She looks excited, right???

Love this.....She is too cute for words.





Heading to the bus stop.

Karley and Kylie

the Wexford crew (minus Kayden)

Karley and Kayden

Boarding the bus....please notice that she is NOT crying or looking back at me with her "save me" eyes.  :)

fast forward 8 hours and here she is getting off the bus. She said: "I'm really going to like it this year"
it doesn't get any better than that!

Karley is 8!

Karley, Mia Osier and Mr Moo.  He will ride in this stroller all day.  Weirdo!

Opening presents for her birthday.  You can't go wrong with arts and crafts things!

We will be making friendship bracelets until she is 16 with this kit.  Super.

Karley and Jeremy at the Schlitterbauhn entrance.  I have the same photo of the 2 of them last year here. 

So ready!!!

Jeremy acting sad because the attractions aren't open yet.  Who opens new attractions in a waterpark at the END of summer?? 

Just coming off the water slide.  No problem!

we figured out the swim up bar area is also a hot tub.  It felt amazing!! 

So, the place was not packed at all which is awesome, the weather was great and we were all totally exhausted by the time we left but we all had a great day!  I can't believe my baby is 8!!!  I also can't believe she thought schlitterbauhn was pronounced Shit-er-bon.  :)

Happy birthday Bug.  Love you!
