GRANDPA!!

today he turned 24 {81}

doesn't he look good!

love you.

{#14} a day at the park.

let me share the story...

it started out like this...

the family eating a typical american meal,

on a blanket, at the park...

then a friend {whom we didn't know} thought we should share.

and once we did...

we had a new best friend. we fell in love and wanted to take her home.

she was seriously an awesome dog!

janelle almost kept her...should have:(

but, it didn't end there, on that particular day in lehi... ...there was a dance performance.

it was quite the show if you ask us.

so inspirational, it had us in tears {from intense laughter}

it was a dynamic duo, a legendary dance of sorts...

and we didn't even have to pay a dime to see it!

-these dance moves have a copy right people.

{please note: i do not know these girls.}

THE BEST FOR LAST...

this darling old man, whom loved to stare...and stare.

he took his cute military hat and a shopping cart out for a walk. this just doesn't happen at the park for everyone.

you have to plan this stuff for weeks to get entertainment like this.

or...just relocate your park choice to lehi;)

{13} yesterday i had a sugar cookie for breakfast, lunch, linner, and dinner...no seriously!

everyone always says, "you won't always be able to eat like that!"

but, i say, i might as well while i can!

or atleast while i'm still dancing all hours of the day.

these cookies above are from smart cookie.

oh, dippidy in a.f. has really good sugar cookies too!

{12} wow! it must be movie marathon week!

we saw pixar's... "UP"

just me, maddy, mayson, mom, and janelle

we all loved the movie, it was so adorable.

i usually don't care for cartoons but, i liked it.

i do recommend.

{#11} how can you resist...

i think i have fallen in love with photography. i love taking photos in my spare time, so their is the proof. besides, who wouldn't want to do a photo shoot with this little one? we got creative yesterday, here is a peek... i played with photoshop to make them look older.

(#10) today i took some time to swing...

...and wished i was a kid again. {sniffle}

(#9) rule: have as many girls nights out as possible...or atleast once a week!

me, mom, allie, janelle, and yes madelyn too

saw this movie...

i think we can all agree, she was our favorite ghost...

{8} listening to my niece maddy jane's negotiations...

" i'm going to the movie, grandpa is going to babysit you!"

-said her mom

{many tears of sadness from maddy} "is janika going too?"

-cried madelyn!

"ya, she is. Grandpa will take you too the park."

-said her mom.

"ok, then i want a scooter and five dollars"

-replied a very smart 3 yr. old!

hahahaha...a little too many bribes maddy maybe? she's got the whole bribe thing down and is only 3. i love her! smart girl.

(#7) i watched this chick flick...

"he's just not that into you"

i really liked this movie, it was witty, cute, sad, funny,

helpful, confusing, and truthful...

which sums up to be quite the perfect chick flick right?
