(#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?

{#6} "eating french toast is like eating dessert for lunch!"-jayden

me and my oldest niece jayden.

{#4} a sleepover at grandma's house...

may 31st, who said a 20 year old can't sleep & play at grandma's?
just me, mom, and grandma {three generations} had a sleepover. it was perfect. this is briefly what we did.
We ate homemade tomato basil soup. laughed. mother napped, grandma told me stories. she showed me family antiques like great grandpa's bifocals. i held a 150 year old purse. i pretended to shave my face. she showed me an old book. looked at photos. we played dress up, i wore a real 1920's flapper dress and hat {my fav.}. i wore one of my grandma's suits. i danced around in it. i saw all her old camera's and fell in love. we laughed some more. mother played with my hair. we watched pride and prejudice:). slept in my moms old room. it was perfect.
Me and my beautiful grandma

Me in a REAL flapper dress/hat from 1920's

This is how men shaved...scary

Great grandpa's bifocals, haha i think i'll stick to contacts, thanks.

ok this counts as #5... i'm rockin my grandma's suit! she really wore this. i'm much taller than my grandma and the pants were the perfect length on me? she said the reason was because they wore the pants up on the stomachs then now we like low rise. haha sometimes i wish i lived in a different era. 1920's, 30's, 50's, 60's....any please.

there may be more sleepovers at grandma's in the future.

taylor swift concert

i was so lucky...and was asked to go to a Taylor swift concert with a new friend and his family that I've been excited to meet. i had a lot of fun:) Taylor sounded really good and put on a very entertaining concert! my nieces were very jealous.

i went on a hike. this would be my #2 summer activity. 99 more to go...

honestly going on this hike was so refreshing.

first of all, my good friend "boone" was there to help me to keep going and not fall off any cliffs. 2nd of all, it was good exersize and really helped me clear my mind:)
this would be my friend boone. he took this pic for his true love whom he is waiting for {she is currently on a mission } so cute!
yay! i made it to the bench and carved my initials. {1/2 way mark} oooh. my toes tingle when i get close to a cliff.

time for a tea party...my 1st summer activity...

tea for 2. me and you...
