Birthday Party

Jocelyn's birthday party was really fun. I spent all day inside and Kory spent all day outside getting ready for the party. I don't think I sat down till it was time for bed. She had so much fun. She asks everyday if all of her friends can come play again. The kids dressed up and played like crazy. We had a pinata so the kids were high off of sugar when they went home. Anyways, it was really fun and I hope to do it again but not anytime soon!

Manicure

I bet you are wondering why I would make a title like manicure......well let me tell you. This birthday party thing is turning out to be way more work than I planned. This whole week, every night when Kory gets home, we go out in the yard and shovel rock over and over. Then when the beds are cleared we go shovel sand. Then when the sand fills us the beds I dig holes and plant some plants and flowers. Why, do you ask? Cause Kory says so. He wants the yard to look magnificient for the birthday party. So, today I had to go with both girls to a nursery and pick out some more flowers. That is an experience all in itself. It's not like they have shopping carts that I can put them in. So here I am holding Maddison with a purse on the other arm and Jocelyn on a wheel barrow pushing it around with sweat dripping down my face. There were some men there and not one asked me if I needed help! I thought I lived in Utah! Anyways, it's not like gardening gloves help all that much. My nails are breaking and I am getting blisters. So all in all I really need to go relax and get a manicure. Let my hands be complete pampered when this is over!!

Jocelyn's 3rd Birthday Dinner!

So we went to The Pizza Factory for Jocelyn's birthday dinner. We got a pizza made with her favorite toppings.....Olives and extra cheese. It was different but good. The waitress looked at us like we were crazy and we had to tell her that's what the kid wants! She is so weird with her food choices. I hope as she gets older she develops new tastes. Anyways, the dinner went well, after we ate we gave her one of her presents cause the other ones are coming to her on Saturday for her birthday party. We got her a Sleeping Beauty barbie doll and Prince Phillip too! She was so excited! She had to sleep with them last night. It was so cute. I can't wait for the movie to come out on October 7th!! Plus while I was at the Disney Store they told me that Pinnocio, Beauty and the Beast, and Snow White are being released next year! I am so excited! My collection will almost be complete! At the end of the night when the girls were in bed Kory and I were talking about when Jocelyn was born and I just started crying. I can't believe how fast she has grown. She gets cuter and cuter everyday. I just hope that she knows how much I love her and that I would do anything for her.

Never Easy

So I have a lot going on right now. I have been trying to potty train Jocelyn and that is up and down. Not looking forward to this weekend cause we are going to my nephews wedding up in Logan and she doesn't now how to go on the big toilet yet. So we are going to have to put her in pull-ups and pray that she will do good. I had to take Jocelyn to the doctors office today cause whenever she gets a bug bite it gets HUGE!! So I was worried and he said she is just one of the few who will always have a bigger reaction than other kids. Until the swelling goes down we just have to cover it up cause it isn't very cute!!
Today is also packing day cause we have to leave in about an hour and I swear I am always running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I never get everything packed that I need to and Kory gets on me about how unprepared I am. If things would just go smooth during the day than it would be ready in time. But between going to the doctor and Jocelyn picking her nose so deep she got a nose bleed, I finally got everything ready. So hopefully when Kory gets home it will be smooth sailing. So until next time..... have a good weekend, and don't play too hard!!
