Alayna and I!!

So I had a funfilled night with Alayna last Thursday. She has given me a new appreciation for Hannah Montana. We had such a great time, dancing, and playing. Here are the top five things that I learned from her that night:

1: When monsters dance, they do the hula, only they get really low.

2. I learned Karate, my favorite move being the one where I punch and kick at the same time with the same side-Totally awesome -(and very effective against the monsters)

3. She thinks my dancing is cool, and even copies me. When I see her do a totally sick dance move and ask her where she learned it, she says "you silly!" I love it, but really, good luck in life, those kinds of dance moves won't take you too far!!

4.Some blankets have a protective barrier that will keep you from harm, where others can't. I never saw the consistency in the pattern, so I guess I will just have to call her next time I need a protective blanket identified.

5.She loves her grandpa. She told me how sometimes when she missed him she has to take out pictures that she drew so she can just look at him, also she thought Stephens hot chocolate was the best ever because it has his name. She can't wait to move down there and be his little sidekick. I have to admit I am a little jealous, that was my role, and I miss it somtimes. I am glad he will have her to take over.

Here are a few pictures of our fun time. I am going to miss her when she moves!

See these forcefield blankets used in our fort!

Just and example, of those sick dance moves!

Dinner Party with the Girls!

Over the weekend, I had a really great Girls night out with my Nieces. I picked up Melina and Alayna in the afternoon. We met Lonni and her girls to watch High School Musical 3, which they loved! It was a lot of Fun. We ent back to our house after, where Art had a restaurant Set up, called Arturo's restaurant. He acted as the hostess where we cheked in under our reservation and then were escorted by the good looking man in the coat and tie to the candle light table. We were given our menu's of Shirly temples, Homemade Macaroni and Cheese, Homemade Chicken Strips with our shoice of dipping sauce, and Chocolate sundaes for Dessert. Our Server Ramone, took great care of us, and kept our drinks full. The the chef of the resturant even came out covered in flour to check on our meals. Alayna was so confused, she kept telling me that "Art is acting really funny" and "how can he be three people at once?" They loved it. Then the nights entertainment came out where The nightly singer performed Miley Cyrus and danced with the girls. Alayna informed me that it was the "best night of her life" and Melina said, "We should do this every girls night out" Thanks Art for being so supportive-I love that you will do this stuff with me-it makes it more fun! Here is a picture of the night. (Sierra and Microphone Included) And the girls dancing!

Tacey, Taylor, Lonni, and Carly-You totally missed out-Sierra could have used some backup dancers!!

Also Amber and Kyle came up on Sunday-we had a lot of fun! Love you Guys!

Good thing we won, so people can still believe in super powers!

Food and Fingers!

No I am not flipping you off in this picture, although maybe I should be! But I broke my middle finger and I thought I would share the image. I don't know what is going on here, but for some reason, this year, I just keep breaking things, and then not knowing it. I was plkaying football with Art last week. I jammed two finders (or so I thought). One of them, which I thought was originally worse is now better but the other once, was hurting worse and still really swollen, so I went to the Dr. and sure enough it is broken, chipped right in the middle joint. This comes right after I was complaining that obviously I am not flipping people off, or using my middle finger enough because the fingernail polish is never chipped, so I guess this is to show me.

Also mom I thought you would enjoy these, Like mother like daughter. I think you have a similar drawer to this at your office. I just finished the hot tamales or they would be there too. At least there are some healthy things in the fridge. This is how I get through my day. Love ya Mom!
