I like...

McDonalds Parfaits.

They are the perfect snack. Healthy, fruity, and yogurty.

Yummy!

And they come all cute too! 

They're in this cute little cup and cute little pack of granola and a cute spoon all on the LID!

How cute is that?!

Way cute!

Nicks short Lived Preschool

After his 1st day. He was so excited to show people his bus hat.

I got Nick into preschool this year. I was so excited. Twice a week he would be gone for 3 hours all during Cody's nap time which meant I had 3 hours of quiet. But every time I took him, he would freak out. Like scream, kicking, crying for me, etc. I had to drag him to school. I felt so bad. My friend from the ward stayed with him and calmed him down which she says only took about 5 mins. But I just couldn't go through the heartache of him crying for me so I pulled him out. Maybe next year he will be ready.

Before his first day.

Kyle is 7!

Kyle turned 7 last month. He wanted a Halo cake. So I did it this way. It's the Halo image but instead of a 4 inside it for Halo 3, I turned it into a 7! I used some Cricut Cake frosting sheets to cut it out. Anyway, we had a bday party at Chuck E Cheese for him. He had a great time!

End of Summer

To say a final good bye to Summer a few weeks ago we had a bbq and played outside. It was so sad. I HATE winter.

Cups

How many cups do 8 boys go through in a 2 hour play period???

This many.                                                                                                                                            

Anniversary

We "celebrated" our 9th anniversary a few weeks ago.  We spent it going to 2 soccer games and being lazy around the house. Ty was going out for slurpees so I asked if he could go to Bowmans and get me a glazed donut (the best ever!). SO when he came home he redeemed himself, er, I mean, he surprised me with a rose and 2 donuts. One was for him but I asked if I could have both and he said yes. SO I quickly devoured the glazed goodness while gazing at my beautiful flower. Then it was back to being lazy around the house. We decided to go out to dinner with the fam so we went to Golden Corral. We didn't leave a tip! Happy Anniversary, Ty! Next year better be better!

Organize

We have a teeny mud room. But at least we have one! There were always shoes everywhere and kids asking where their stuff is. So I did this. I cut out everyone's initial on vinyl and stuck it on their designated drawer. So now the boys know where to look for their soccer clothes, shoes, and flip flops. So nice!

Zumba

I go to a gym. My fav class is Zumba. It's fast dancing to all these Latin songs.
I LOVE to dance and this class is perfect for me.

I would like to say that everyone in the class looks like this:

but, no.
There are mostly older ladies who are in need of the Zumba class. There's even a lady who looks like a great grandmother! It's awesome! It is so great to see all these ladies shake what they're mama gave them. No one cares what you look like when you are sweaty and shaking your booty. It's just plain FUN!!! I want to become a Zumba instructor when I grow up!

Ate

What I've eaten today: 2 bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

ice cream sandwich

handful of peanut m&ms

Three Down, One to Go

It's official! Nick is POTTY TRAINED! WaHOO!!! We got him in pull ups and a couple of weeks later he wanted to wear his Buzz Lightyear Big Boy undies! He had a little accident today but other then that, he's been dry for about a week! Now we just have one more to go and we;re outta diapers! Yay!!!

CASE LOT SALES!!!!

I love me a good case lot sale! I look forward to it! I was way excited this time around since they had Campbells Cream soups. They haven't had them on sale for a while and I use them all the time when I cook. Yay. How lame am I?! I stocked up on Apple juice since we go through tons and fruit. Oh, and you can't forget the Fresca! It was just a fun experience. I literally got a work out from pushing the cart all around the store. It feels real good to know that we have food storage!
