Pedicure

I dropped off both kids at school last monday and met a friend for my first professional pedicure! It was lovely haha i showed abb my pretty toes when she came home and she asked if shee could have one! Its a fun treat we do. I get a warm bucket of water and soak her feet, clip and file her nails, scrub her feet, lotion and massage up her calves, then paint nails. Its such a nice time, dax wanted his done as well :) shes in blue, hes in orange

For my own tracking...
Just played a letter game with Dax. He could only recogize upper case V, X, Q. Had a very difficult time putting letters in order which makes sense since he only recognizes 3. Matching lower to upper was just as hard.

Pull it!

#6!!! Sheesh! The bottom left tooth...she pulled it out herself!
Seriously, give the tooth fairy a break!!

Balloon suprise!

The hot air balloon races are this weekend in reno at the park right down the street from larry and renees so we've seen a few balloons floating around in the morning. This morning we walked to school and abby's friend was there already and said everyone was on the otherside of the building looking at a hof air balloon...that I assumed was flying by closely or something. Then the principal announced over the pa that if the teachers wanted to take their class to see the balloon to sign up in the teachers lounge. I thought, that's lame that they'd go outside to watch one fly by. The bell rang for abb to go in and i walked over a little to where dax was playing and looked over and you could see the balloon in the grass on the otherside of the school!!! Awesome! Dax and I walkes over and checkrd it out and abbs class ended up coming out. They got to walk up to it and ask the pilot questions and abbs teacher Mrs. D got in the basket. It was pretty cool. Dax got kinda scared when he woukd fire it up and everyone outside would scream and giggle. It was pretty cool :)

Oh Abb

I finally used an itunes gift card I wanted for my bday and bought up some songs and made a mixed cd. Wev been listening to it in the car for a couple weeks now so the kids are starting to sing along. We got in the car tonight and it was midway into "marry you" by bruno mars. Abb starts nodding her head to the beat then says " I know its against the law to marry your brother!" In an excited 'I know something' voice! Haha yep abb. He's handsome and sweet, but no. You will not be marrying your brother :)
-------------
She lost ANOTHER tooth. Number FIVE!! not sure how the kid eats with all these teeth missing!

Dinner with Daddy

Hahahaha guess abb is missing daddy pretty bad cus at dinner last night she pulled jbs most recent trophy over to her and said "I want daddy to be next to me for dinner!" Lol....a little creepy lol

My handsome lunch date

We signed dax up for a preschool out here close to our house with a lady that does it out of her house. Preschool is wicked expensive down here! She was close and had a great price so we jumped on it! 2 days for 2.5hrs. It will be just enough :) So we stopped in to drop off our school supply money and dax was soooo charming! He was super cute and warmed up to her instantly. She had to take a phone call and left the room breifly and dax whispers to me "mom. When are you leaving??" Haha he was ready to start and have he drop him off! Oh bubba. So we left there after he explained to his teacher that he would help her spell his name, and went to target to get a couple new shirts and pair of shorts for school. Then treated ourselves to, as requested by my date, chicken stars ;) we had a fun day
