Our TOTALLY 80's Prom

So I know Halloween is way way past due....but I just had to post these awesome pictures!!Some friends of ours in the neighborhood decided to have a Halloween party...80's style!! It was a prom. We had the "dance" at Noahs it was so much fun!! Here are a few of the ladies looking so very glamorous!

Da boys singing a little Kareoke!

Are we hot or what? Notice us three on the left all have the same dress just diffrent lovely 80's colors!

I know we are like so totally awesome!

Oh the cute couple! Could our hair be any cuter? I don't think so!! Big thanks to everyone who helped out with the party...especially the Webbs! And a thanks to Tiny for babysitting!

Sweet Girls

Sometimes you just capture those super peaceful moments filled with so much love!!

i LOVE fall

We went up to Mutual Dell (american fork canyon) a few weeks ago for a neighborhood FHE. Maycie and I went on a hike and these are a few of the pictures we took. She is the biggest poser.

I love this picture of her on the bridge.

How can you not love the contrast of all the different colors. I love the season changes. I love the fall colors and the crisp morning air. I love winter and the snow. Always ready for spring when it comes and love the summer for the heat and my kiddos at home!

our LAST swim day

Oh how sad it is to see the pool be closed!! We have had so much fun swimming this summer....but it is to cold and time to say goodbye! Ashley and Jason and kids came over after the girls soccer games and we enjoyed the pool one last time. Except for Addy...she didn't want to swim....all swimmed out I guess. We had such a good time.

San Diego

This was such a great trip!! It was totally last minute thrown together madness!! I knew I was going to go see Kaycie thanks to a free flight I had from southwest. When I mentioned it to Linda she wanted to come and a few days before Ashley decided to join in the fun! Kaycie didn't even know that Ashley was coming so that was super fun to see her shock and excitement when she saw her "sissy"! We started the trip with some pampering. Pedicures(thanks again Linda!) We were so tired the first night we literally fell asleep at 9:30 which is unheard of with a girls weekend away!! It must have been the wonderful Marriott hotel Kaycies friend, Wilson ,hooked us up with!! The next morning we decided to color our hair.



Kaycie and Ashley both went crazy and went deep dark reds!! I was boring and just had Ash give me some highlights. I know we look hot!!
Kaycie and I having fun taking pictures of ourselves!
Love these gals!
This is the view from our 2nd hotel. Kaycie got us a sweet room right on the beach. The room rents for $599.00 and night!! Yeah good thing Kaycie got an "employee" discount!!

Why is it fun to pretend to throw up?? I don't know it just is!

The yummiest breakfast place. Broken Yolk.
Walking on the beach.

Happy Birthday Kaycie!! We went around the table and said something nice about her and ate a yummy lunch.

Earlier that day we went and got haircuts. We are looking FIERCE. The guy that did my hair said he was going the next week to try out for bravos show called Shear Genius....so I might be famous?!? Ok not really famous but it would be cool.

We had so much fun!! Thanks to everyone who helped with my kids. Corey, Chelsie and Kimber!! So nice to get away and just relax and be pampered. Thanks Linda for making it that much more fun with your generous heart!!

Seriously?

So I know that I am getting older and I know that I have the weakest, smallest bladder in the world.....doesn't help that I have had four pregnancies.....BUT for the love can I not go the entire night without getting up to go to the bathroom!!! It is 4 am, that's right 4 in the morning and I am awake as can be for two reasons.
1. As stated above I had to get up at about 3:30 to use the bathroom. Tried to go back to sleep, not happening. You know how when you wake up in the middle of the night and if you lay there to long you start to get really, REALLY hungry?!? Makes me so mad! Hence the bowl of cereal in front of me.
2. Do you ever know that you have to be a wake by a certain time, earlier than normal, so you wake up every few hours because you are sure that your alarm is not going to work right and you will be totally late? This happens to me pretty much every time I have to be somewhere early. I don't know if it is the Darrington-can't be late in me or what but it really bugs!

The silver lining in all of this rambling is that the reason I have to be up early is for Linder, my wonderful mother-in-law and Ashley, one of my best sisters-in-law, are coming to get me at 5:30 to fly off to sunny San Diego!! We are going to see Kaycie, yet another one of my favorite people, for the weekend. At least I can sleep in tomorrow and the next day oh and the next!! Yeah!!
So while I am not enjoying being awake so early, I will defiantly be enjoying myself this weekend!

Preschool Begins

Holy cow I can not believe that Maycie is big enough to start preschool!! She has been so excited all summer long to start school-be big just like her sisters. It was a little crazy to me to have my baby leaving me for 2 hours....all by herself! She had fabulous time. She loved singing songs, drawing pictures, making a necklace and reading books. She was very brave, not one tear shed(not that I thought there would be...by her anyway...maybe me).

Although Lexi was a touch put out that Maycie started school on tuesday and she had to wait until Wedensday she was thrilled to finally be there! She was so excited to meet new friends and play with some old ones. Her good friend Keaton is in her class again this year. YEAH...it is always easier with a familiar face. She had a great time making a little girl, reading books, coloring me a picture and playing with toys! She loves school and is always so excited to learn. After we got home the first thing she wanted to do was her homework! Is it to much to ask if that attitude about homework could stick around forever?!?
