Summer is flying by and we are keeping busy as ever!
Last week, at D'Backs Baseball Camp, Kyan came in 4th place in the skills challenge for the week! He was the youngest in his age division to win! Friday evening we got an unexpected phone call from our friend, Brooks, asking if we wanted tickets to see Cirque? Ummmmm, yeah! It was premiere night to top it off, so popcorn and soda were free, along with champagne and cupcakes at intermission! We only had to pay for parking, it was awesome! The girls who were over at my house crafting away said that they would stay to watch the kids if I went to buy them stuff to make cake pops! Ok, sold! It was an awesome evening!
Saturday we woke up and went to our friend's son baseball game. Lola was sporting her headband that the babysitting girls made her the night before and is always wanting to take pictures! After the game we went to a new Indian Frybread place (Chad's favorite, not so much mine) and both the kids found one they liked and then really enjoyed the dessert, especially Kyan, he is always happiest eating dessert! Saturday evening, after my walk, I sat down and planned our Summer Supper Club Menu. Our turn to host and the menu we came up with sounds delicious if I don't say so myself!
Sunday was a lazy day, I woke up early and read for four hours in bed. If you haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey yet, read it! So good! It will suck you in and make you forget that you are supposed to be cleaning the house or doing laundry! I did manage to get my behind out of bed to do a little bit of shopping and purchased the Oh, Lola! perfume, by Marc Jacobs. Can you guess why?
Monday I was without my walking partner, so I talked Kyan into going for a bike ride with me. We took the route that I usually walk (3.9 miles) and he made it the whole way without complaining! Since then, he has asked to go again and I plan on taking him soon!
Tuesday was a picture heavy day (I don't really realize this until I go back and do these posts)! We were jam packed full of fun! First stop was the dentist! I haven't been in years (ashamed to say it, but true) and I will be paying the price for the next couple of weeks! I also found out that I grind my teeth and will need to be fitted with for a mouth guard when I sleep at night. Oh boy, that should be comfortable...NOT! But, I would like to keep my teeth looking nice and neat from now on, so I already booked my 6 month check-up! We went to Joann's for a few quick craft supplies and the kids found those cute little hats to wear around. They wanted them so bad, but after walking around for about 10 minutes in them, they lost they appeal and they went for a treat at the checkout lane! We had a crafty day when we got home, Lola chose to paint (her favorite) and Kyan wanted to learn how to make friendship bracelets (I wanted to pluck out my eyeballs trying to teach him...so hard)! I made a few new slipcovers for pillows in the playroom! I went for my nightly walk and reached 21.1 miles for my June goal - to run/job/walk/crawl 40 miles by months end! Safe to say I think I am going to make it (Currently I am at exactly 25, only 15 more to go and over half the month left)! I feel good and now just need to figure out a way to keep my water cold - walking in 106 degree weather is tricky!
Wednesday was Kyan's turn at the dentist. He got his expander in and lemme tell you it is NO FUN. Not because it is hurting him, but because the poor kid is struggling to eat. His favorite things he gets stuck between the expander and the roof of his mouth and it is a weird feeling that is going to have to take some getting used to. Joyfolie finally has a woman's line and I couldn't resist these babies! Worth every penny!
Thursday woke up and made Auntie Heidi's Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies (have never tried a better recipe than hers and she shared her secret with me and I shared it here!). Went with some friends to check out Uptown Alley! Kyan's first time playing Laser Tag and he loved it! We will be back! Before we left, he tried winning his sister a prize! Had a photo shoot at sunset, who knew that the park closed then?! Whoopsie! Got locked in and scolded by the park ranger! After apologizing a million times about not reading the sign with all the rules on it, he let us out! Which made me late meeting up with Camille and Candis for a few drinks, but I made it! So nice getting in a little bit of girl time with the two of them!
Hope everyone had a great week!
Linking up with Jeannett once again over at Life Rearranged! You should too, 'cause life in phone pictures is rad!
