Kindergarten Graduation

Kylie's teacher put on a little graduation ceremony for her class last week. It was pretty short and simple and to the point. I must admit thats always nice when you are trying to watch a couple other kids in a small area! They sang us a couple songs and received their diplomas which ended it all. Kylie is moving onto the 1st grade and is very excited about it. She seems to be doing well with school especially the socializing aspect of it...i'm assuming she got that from me! Here are a few pictures from her graduation. Next week she has her final dance recital so be watching for a new post about that soon!

Mothers Day

I hope all the moms that are reading this had a great Mothers Day yesterday, I know I did. We went to church, visited both our moms and relaxed at home. It was a nice quiet day which is all I can ask for! The kids each made me a cute card and Kylie brought home a little craft from school for me as well. Not really much else to say other than hope you had a great day! A few pictures too...

San Diego..May 3-4

Last weekend Matt and I had a chance to go to San Diego to watch the Red Bull Air Race. It was a lot of fun! It was a really quick trip, but still a nice little get away for the two of us. We left early Saturday morning and drove to the airport to catch our flight. We were in group B to board and as we were walking down the hall to board they made us turn around! The plane was broke! Needless, to say we ended up getting into SD about an hour later then planned, but it wasn't that big a deal. We used Saturday to just mill around San Diego, eat some good food, check out the beach and relax!!! Oh we also watched Made of Honor which was really cute!! Sunday morning we got up, had breakfast and headed down to the bay which was where the airshow was. We were there all day until it was time to leave to come home. It was really neat watching some of the demonstrations prior to the show such as a coast guard rescue. The race plans were flying like 230 mph!! It was a lot of fun to see. However, i did suffer a small sunburn. I totally spaced using any sunscreen because it was cool and overcast, ya worst conditions. I am blistering on my chest which is where I got it the worst. OUCH...but all in all we had a great time!!! I'm posting some pics of a couple race planes, some randoms of Matt and I and the one I really love of the statue at the Naval Pier!

Girls Day

So last weekend my girlfriend and I got a chance to leave our kids and go to a spa for the day! We drove down to Phoenix on Friay evening and got checked into our hotel and then went out to dinner at Red Lobster!!! YUM! Afterwards we came back to our hotel and sat in the hot tub for a short time before heading off to bed. It's so strange when you sleep away from your kids, I woke up a couple times throughout the night wondering why Karissa hadn't woke up yet! LOL We woke up Saturday morning and drove over to a day spa in Scottsdale where we spent about 4 hours having a massage, facial and pedicure. It was wonderful! I hadn't felt so relaxed in quite some time. Naturally after that we were famished, so we went and had a big lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. I would have been ok with just eating a whole cheesecake, but I settled for single slice. LOL Once our lunch was over it was time to head back up the mountain. It was a great little relaxing 24 hours away from home thanks to the help from my sis and mom in law watching the kiddies! Here are a few pictures that speak for themselves!
