This girl loves her spaghetti!

I made Addison a promise that the first time she poops in the potty (versus her pants) that I would take her to the store to buy any toy she wanted. Mommy was getting VERY tired of cleaning nasty underpants. Well, SHE DID IT!!! So off to the store she went. It was not an easy decision for her.

Mommy loves when the girls do her hair

Zoo time fun.

Don't you love when your big sister acts like she's protecting you, but really she's just holding you in front of her as her own personal human shield.

Cheeky monkey

Sydney started complaining that one of her molars was hurting. I looked it up and the molar wasn't supposed to be loose until she turned 10...and it was VERY loose. I took her to the dentist and they told me to get her to an orthodontist ASAP because they could take a better XRAY. So then we saw the reason why her tooth was hurting so badly. One of her front bottom teeth was coming in sideways underneath that molar. OUCH. Within a matter of days, Sydney went to an oral surgeon and had 4 baby teeth pulled out and a spacer was put in her mouth a few weeks later. The goal is to try and lasso that tooth over into the correct position hoping that it doesn't impact that canine that the root is hovering over. They told me it's an 80/20 shot that we will be able to move it. Otherwise they will need to pull that tooth :( Here's to hoping and here's to an additional ortho bill! YAY 

We had Benny and his dad over for dinner! Always nice talking with Benny.

Mommy wasn't quite prepared for Addison to be moved up to the next swimming class. I though it was my last time swimming with her but noooo, they moved her up! Needless to say, she wasn't too keen on it either. Especially not the boy instructor. So they had a girl jump in the pool and Addison clung on to her and completed her first class without us! Just a few tears, she was a tough one!

Celebrating Addison doing well at swimming by taking them out to dinner...in their jammies!

Addie's major eczema spot that stuck with us all summer!

Cousin Max Visits

Max graduated High School and wanted to come out and visit us for his gift. We had an action packed vacation for him. Sydney had four teeth pulled in the morning, but that didn't stop her from heading up Mt. Lemmon and doing some hiking with the boys.

Max came and cheered Syd on at her swim meet

Chris surprised Max with some tickets to the Tucson USA Raceway

Nashville

I was invited to go on a girl's trip to Nashville for KC and Lisa's 40th birthday. This was a much needed trip for me! We had an absolute blast and arranged it so that we were gone Wed - Sat. So I was home by Saturday afternoon and had the rest of the weekend to hang with the family and get some homework done. Sadly my flight was delayed, so I had a FULL day of flying to Nashville. We essentially just got a bite at the hotel and crashed. We woke up early and walked to Lower Broadway

Stopped in a bar to have some lunch

Reservations at a fancy schmancy place

We were one of the first people there and had a booth right next to the stage. We got to know all of the people in the band. They were super sweet and kept talking to us throughout their show. They made Lisa some crazy strong drinks, that made her make faces like this

The band's manager kept coming over and harassing us. He told me that I should let him drive me to the airport haha. Then he grabbed my hand and said "WHOA you are like SUPER married" when he saw my ring haha. Yes, yes I am.

The staff was crazy sweet and they gave us waters to go for our walk to the tram to take us to lower broadway. I mean, seriously, everyone is very thoughtful in Nashville. We headed out to some bars and had an absolute blast. We stayed until KC could barely stand up straight. She had a little Marilyn Monroe moment on our walk home from the bars where she walked over some sidewalk grates and her dress went up above her head...she didn't care! Lisa...well, she took care of business when we got back to our room.

Next day we were on Sirius XM, The Highway. I told Chris to tune in with the girls and that I'd say hi to them all on the air.

We had our moment and I told the kiddos and Chris I missed them......only to find out that they tuned into the wrong station. ........

Zoo Fun

The churro eating machine

There were some volunteer kids doing face painting. Both wanted dolphins :)

Addie's usual pose

Family Water Balloon Fight

We love our family water balloon fights. It's especially fun when its crazy hot outside. The only problem is that it gets so hot here that any balloon pieces you don't pick up become cemented into our patio! Kids love to throw balloons, but hate to pick up scraps. Hard knock life.

Look at this little cheater. She's headed to throw one at her dad before the game starts!

Attack!!!!

Awww, Daddy keeps getting hit

Packback...RUN SYDNEY!!
