Shacee's second set of tubes

Our drive home from Flagstaff after her surgery.

The one and ONLY time i ever let her eat ice cream in the living room. :)

We took Shacee to have her second set of tubes put in and her adenoids removed. It didn't take her long to be up and around. Hopefully this is her last set of tubes...

Wedding Dress Modeling

So my neighbor who i thought totally didn't like me asked me to do this modeling thing for her. I kinda think she only asked me to do it because she thought i could fit into the dresses she had left. So anyways i tried to get out of it but could never come out and say no so here i am. It actually turned out to be kind of neat. These dresses that we all wore were from people who donated them that got married a way long time ago so they were kind of antique. Anyways as i got to the front of the room a lady came up to me and had her daughter take a picture of us together. She was all emotional and crying telling me how beautiful i looked in her dress and thanking me for wearing it. So in the end it was a neat experience and i guess kinda fun to wear a wedding dress again.

Two weeks in Mesa

Me and my girls went to Mesa for 2 weeks and had a great time. We did tons of stuff maybe a little to much and were beat by the time we were done.

Shacee and Layni had swimming lessons together every day.

Two weeks in Mesa Continued...

We went to the Circus...

We stayed at Cody and Kacies and here is Shacee and Layni eating.

I met up with my friend Jennifer that i went to college with at South Mountain. I haven't seen her in a really long time so it was fun catching up :) I just got done working out that's why i am in a tank top)

All four girls got there hair cut. This is Taylin's first haircut and she hated it!!

Sadie has wanted to grow her hair out for locks of love FOREVER so it was finally long enough for us to cut it. I'm not the best blogger so the pictures are kink of out of order. Her hair turned out way cute and it is so much easier to wash and fix. With 4 girls hair to fix it kinda takes a LONG time...
