the police are coming and daddy's going to jail!

Last Friday night was spent in a gas station parking lot listening to a woman yell and lie about crashing into my van. I started off being sweet and forgiving, despite the fact that the other driver was completely to blame. At one point the woman and Daniel began yelling at each other and she screamed that she wanted to call the police.

We said please do.

Then I looked over at Kolby who was balling.

He said, "the police are coming and daddy's going to jail!!!".

When all was said and done 2 hrs later, with no police present, the woman gave us cash and drove off.

I was feeling bitter towards the world in general.

Saturday night I helped my kids practice for the upcoming primary program.

ya, that got me singing a different tune.

I can always count on my kids to teach me what matters most.

Girls Rule!

In the last couple weeks I've made soccer ribbon ponytails for my daughter and nieces, sewed a flower headband, and dressed my girls up matchy matchy. Having girls is awesome!!! :)

Kolby's Super 7th Birthday Celebration

My Dearest Super Hero-

This year for your birthday you asked for a family party. I was thinking this would be low key and super easy.

Little did I know you had a super-uper-duper-schmooper big weekend planned:)

It ended up being super busy and super fun!!

Friday we ate happy meals together at school:) The lunch of true Super Heroes obviously!

Saturday you showed your true Super Hero powers by competing in another tri!

You did it!!!!

 This was followed by some super yummy donuts, watching Thor and then taking a trip to play black light miniature golf.

For dinner you opted for a burger at Red Robin's.

 But that super appetite still needed more so we stopped for frozen yogurt for a late dessert too:)

 Sunday (your real birthday) we opened presents in the morning,

and then invited the family (meaning 8 cousins, 3 aunts, 3 uncles, and 2 grandparents) over for homemade ice cream cake that night, which you and your super creative brain helped make.

Super Diaper Baby, Super Girl, and Super Kolby

 Super Cousins

You're the best helper in the world!!!!
