Britney Spears Concert 4.24.09

Concert,Dancing,Fun,Singing, Silly Mom's Having a Night Out!

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's (Leah's) Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)

I'm Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can't see the harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I'm still an exceptional earner
And you want a piece of me

Can you believe they had ICEE's there, pays off to be the DD that night! You know me and my ICEE addiction!
For a early Birthday present my sister surprised me with tickets to the Britney spears concert. I know I am not 16 again, but I actually love her songs, and her performance is great. It was a fun night with the girls, and after going to a club for dancing. Love Britney, she sang some old and some new, great concert great mix, had a blast, THANKS SHAWNA!

Bryce Canyon Our Little Man

Bryce Canyon
Adoption is when a child grew in its mommy's heart instead of her tummy. ~Author Unknown

I want to make him smile, he is never smiling in any pictures, it breaks my heart!



The pictures just show you how much a baby changes over the months, he looks so different in all of them when you put them all together. He is 13 months old and very tiny, Amber took the top picture which is the recent and he is tiny for his age. He will grow and be healthy in no time as soon as we get him home.
We passed courts AWHILE ago, but I have not posted about it or pictures of Bryce until now. I guess I posted a lot while we were going through the process with Aslynn and then with Bryce did not post that much because we have been so busy with the holidays and Aslynn home. My friend said that I should put him up on here, and yes I need to as this is my "scrapbook" and I need to express how happy and lucky we are that we passed courts,are going this summer to get him, and that we are having another addition to the family. We are all so excited and cant wait to have him home. Of course I am trying to get Jon to travel without me as we know how much I hated doing that trip in November, but more then likely I will suck it up and go with him :)

Easter 2009

Romans 1:4-5 And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.

Bunny,eggs,brunch,Jesus,family,it all adds up to being thankful for what we have and who we have in our lives.

Oh yes, its that time of year where we all run to target at the last minute and grab whatever you can find and even toys that you really know your kids don't need, to fill their Easter baskets with. Plus lets not forget the fun of boiling eggs and dying them... and they have so many different ways now with tie dye, and stickers and wraps, and wow when I was a kid it was plastic and maybe a piece of candy inside ha ha
This year I woke up to Makenzie screaming that the Easter Bunny had been here. The bunny hides the baskets... but leads the kids down the stairs with candy...its a bunny thing ya know.

The kids colored eggs the night before, and also the night before that with the babysitter. So we had a nice selection of colorful eggs for the bunny to hide.

After the egg hunt at home, we all got ready and went to the Country Club for brunch with my sister Shawna and her family and my brother Ryan and his family. All the kids looked so cute and all were well behaved, I was pretty shocked but everyone held it together.

Afterwards we went to Ryan's house and had a egg hunt, relaxed, chatted, spent time outside while all the kids played, had a late lunch, and then after the sugar high we decided to call it a night. On the way home Logan fell asleep with a orange cupcake and Makenzie was a chatter box!

But let us not forget the real reason of the holiday and that this is a Sunday set aside to recognize the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. GOD sent his WORD in the form of a child, being born to Mary the Virgin as God's only Begotten Son. He lived a very short time on earth, having been a carpenter and then God's messenger the last three years or so of his life. He was crucified, nailing all our sins to the cross, covering them with his precious blood. If we believe in him, accept his eternal gift of salvation, then we too will see him in all his Glory one day!

Philippians 3:10-12 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

A Night Out

"Dance as if no one's watching, sing as if no one's listening, and live every day as if it were your last."

Jon and I never get to go out and just enjoy the evening, we are so focused on the kids and the new baby. But our friend Jen insisted that we went with her and Shannon to dinner and dancing, which I am not a dancer, yes shocker people.

We went to Sushi at west gate, and then walked over to Margaritaville where they had a live band and danced and just hung out for the night. We met the funniest gay guys (love the gays) and they wanted JON so bad it was funny, I kept telling them we were married but they still would jump on him, Jon had no clue and kept dancing or should I say jumping (he jumped for hours it was so funny) with them and then I told him they wanted him and they were gay. He laughed and said "yep that's why I cant go to San Francisco anymore" ha ha I think he had a nice drink made that night. I of course don't drink(or should I say, haven't for 1 yr now) so I get the drive the funny people home. :)

It was fun and we did not get home till 3am, I was still wired from my energy drink, I wanted to go to a movie or something, but everything closes in Arizona around here. So off to bed.

Jen brought her camera and took some randoms I must post, remember this Jon is so conservative, barely says 2 words, we are totally opposite,he is business man straight to the point military all the way. BUT he totally let loose and WOW 11 yrs have past and I never saw him this jumpy and happy and having a good time. HA HA I guess he needed a night out.
