Oh what a day!

Sad days just happen!!
Its inevitable . . . life is full of disappointments, events and situations that make us sad . . .

. . . Watching Aubrey's softball team lose game after game! Maybe I did like the winning stress better than this crappy losing!
. . . I havent run in 3 weeks, and just downloaded an application to be the next contestant on the Biggest Loser (okay, so not quite that bad but its getting there)!
. . . Decorating for Easter and realizing the framed picture of me and the old best friend, the one who called and decided over voicemail that we were no longer best friends, and hasnt called to explain since (yeah, that one!), is still up and needs to be replaced! (which by the way, totally hurt my feelings. Glad I meant that much to you :) Hope your perfect life circumstances never makes you so busy - your new best friend cant deal and ditches out on you! (wow, guess I have some built up emotion)
. . . Attempting to explain to my Cayden (in a smart way) that some people, his dad being one of them, are idiots and he ditched out on knowing an amazing boy.
. . . Busted at school for giving the kids candy. . . it wasnt even very much - seriously what parents call and tattle on a teacher for that??
. . . Driving by the Amber Dubois banners and posters everyday and knowing her parents are helpless and empty without her!
. . . seeing that loser old boyfriend with his new girlfriend and cute little made family :BLAH:

We all have these days and honestly, despite it all I had a pretty chipper and cheerful day! Especially when I got out of the shower tonight and found my kids (30 mins past their bed time) curled up in my bed reading. It was adorable and made me smile :) My kids LOVE to read and it makes me so proud! How can I possible dwell on all that sad??

A pinch of this, a pinch of that

Happy Spring friends . . . the month of March has kept us busy and active and provided lots of smiles and laughs! Cayden received the "Super Bronco Award" at school, and was honored for all his hard work in class! He is busy playing soccer and considering auditioning for another play (just needs to convince Aubrey to participate and maybe I will come around too)! He just lost his 3rd tooth and is totally stoked! (he even let me do the honors and pull that sucker out) I'm hoping that 2nd top tooth falls out before the new one grows in the hole - I LOVE that!!





Aubrey is busy playing softball . . . she has THREE games this week!! She works hard and loves the friendships she has made. Her team isnt the greatest this year but its kind of nice not having the stress of being on the best team. They win some, and lose some, but have lots of fun!! She is a good girl. Yesterday she and I got to go with some girlfriends to an American Girl Fashion Show fundraiser. I know it wont be long til she has completely grown up and left that doll stage behind. We had a nice "little girl" day together.





The Kellys love St. Patricks Day! We got all "greened" up and were safe from pinches at school and work! We spent the evening with friends at the park searching for leprechauns and treasure but in the end found only Subway and girlscout cookies :)



We are lucky to have super friends and spend lots of time together. Last week we played a roaring game of La Loteria (Mexican Bingo) . . . we had too much fun and are in the process of creating our very own cards! I'm a geek, I know!!



My cousin Jody and her husband Tate recently welcomed Baby Jocelyn Jade into their family. Isnt she adorable! We got to go watch the baby blessed at church this last Sunday and spent the afternoon at grandpas for lunch and visiting with the family!

Beauty and the Beast

Here's the pirated video of Cayds performance . . . he is the one with the flame on his head :)

We had a crazy February. . . .

Softball Games Began. . . Go Warriors!! Soccer games began. . . Yeah Jaguars!! And Cayden had his final month of practice with his theatre group!! This weekend all that practice paid off with an amazing production (6 showings) of Beauty and the Beast!! Cayden was the cutest enchanted candlestick ever!! With the play finished, we are hoping for a calmer March??
