*Happy Birthday!!*

My baby has turned 5! Where did the time go? I think he had a fun birthday...he had all his friends over on Sunday, we got a water slide and the kids had a great time going down the slide.

Last night on his actual birthday we had dinner at Janet's with them & mom & Larry-

Sometimes I wish I were five again.... :)

*Princess*

I love this little kitty. She is so sweet and playful. We found her sleeping inside of Tanner's shoulder pads for football. She woke up when we took the picture....I wonder how she standed the smell... :) HAHAHA

life...

is not so much fun....hopefully my life will be back on track soon and I can dig myself out of this funk that I am in....hoping prayers will help.

*25 years ago.....*

that we met during this month as we went through rush at Long Beach State to pledge Delta Gamma....it doesn't seem all that long ago and it is amazing to me that we don't get to see each other that often and yet we pick up right where we left off. I love these girls, we have been through so much together and I don't know what I would do without them....

And here is something else I just love- "Princess"- that is what Riley decided to name her. She is the cutest, most lively kitten. We have had no issues with potty training her, she loves us all- even Jake who picks her up and drops her...she makes me very happy.

I am so excited to see some friends of mine tonight. We are meeting at Fashion Island for dinner and much needed girl time. These two people are so important to me and it is a rare ocassion when we get together since Kerri moved to Utah... hopefully I will remember to bring my camera and actually take some pictures!! :)

I have nothing much to say other than life right now is consumed by cheer & football practice...Tanner's practice is supposed to be over at 7:30, but he never gets off the field before 7:45...Laundry piles up, dishes pile up the kids are tired & cranky and so am I. At least Riley doesn't have practice on Friday- she gets the day off because she has to go to Jamz cheer camp at 8:00 am Saturday morning....And I get to be at the team garage sale Friday evening pricing everything & Saturday trying to sell. Right now the team mom thing isn't so fun!

*Once again..*

I should expect this- it happens every season and yet everytime Tanner buzzes his hair I cannot watch. I hate to see all his pretty bond locks fall away from his head. I am sure it feels much better under his football helmet to have no hair, but I sure love his long hair. Everytime I see him at practice (after he takes off his helmet) I still have a hard time recognizing my own son! I am sure I will get used to it.
