Part 3: Birthday with my little family!

After the girls went home Jonathan and the kids came to the hotel to stay the night. This was the first night that I stayed the night away from the kids and Payton had a hard time with it. She could not understand how I could leave her... I've always said that she is my possessive little girlfriend! Payton and Britton were so excited to see me and Payton told me Happy Birthday about 100 times. She loved on me and I loved it! Jonathan was very excited to see me as well because he got a little taste of what taking care of two kids by himself was like;). After we walked around and got settled we went down to the pool, but I did not last long and Jonathan told me to go up stairs and take a nap. At first I hesitated but I thought what other day could I get away with something like that and plus staying up so late with the girls had finally caught up to me! After naps we got ready and went back for round two at the Hardrock. We had lots of fun there and I would recommend it to anyone with kids because it is so loud in there that our kids just blended in and added to the ambiance of the restaurant.

After dinner we walked around City Walk and went and got Payton a pearl from the Pearl Factory. It was so great to spend time with my kids and husband... I am such a lucky girl, or old 26 year old;)!

They were looking at the koi fish and one of them nibbled on Britton's finger and it scared him... it was so funny!

Part 2: Birthday GNO!

... Part 2: After the kids went home Summer, Ashlea, Rhea and I stayed the night at the Gaylord and I had the best time! The only rules were no boys and no kids and we decided to get as crazy as four Mormon girls could get, which meant staying up to 2am talking, laughing and eating snacks in bed!

We started the night at City Walk and then went to Hard Rock Cafe to try out these chicken quesadillas that Rhea and Geoffrey have always talked highly of and they were right! They were delicious and they restaurant was great. After dinner we had made a pledge to burn off 500 Calories for the show Dance your A** off. They were raising money for a charity and asking people to plead to burn 500 calories so we did some white girl dancing and watched the entertainment. We decided to head back to the hotel.

I was all excited about getting this ice cream treat until... They made me get up in front of everyone. I am sure my face was bright red!

I even got preggers out busting a move with me... wait until that baby sees how cool his mommy is!

I am so thankful for these girls! Thanks for the amazing night! Love you gals!

BDAY Part 1: Gaylord with the Kids

My dear friend Ashley taught me that there was no such thing as a birthday but that it is a birthday month and it felt pretty close to that this year. I'm not sure about a month but I definitely had a nice long birthday weekend! We started off with the kids at the Gaylord Palms hotel pool. It was lots of fun but I'd be lying if I said that I was not watching my clock for 3pm to roll around, which was the time that the kiddies ride arrived...

Britton

Payton

I was nervous taking these photos because I was scared that a staff member was going to kick us out.

Sleep Walking

Last night was the strangest thing with Payton. I went into my room and Jonathan asked me how Payton got into Britton's bed and I told him that it was not me. Payton had gotten up and slept walked to Britton's bed and crawled in. Britton was standing over her rubbing her back and then he started to get annoyed and was trying to pick her up to get her our of bed. Definitely a first for her. Not sure what she was doing!

A little something for Britton's future girlfriends!

I can't wait till the day I can pull this photo out to show Britton's little girlfriends! I am going to start a collection to keep all of the girls away!

Seaworld with the Big Kids

Tonight Geoffrey and I switched boys, so I got Jayden and Geoffrey got to watch Britton. Katelyn and I took Payton, Macie, Jayden and Merrik to Seaworld. The kids had lots of fun together. We stayed to the very end and did not get home till midnight.

4th of July, 2010

This year we went down to the JW Marriott to stay the night and participate in all of the festive fun they had. There was lots to do and we all had a great time!

Before we got there we stopped by CVS and got the kids each a paddle ball and they loved it. It was a great way to start the 4th of July holiday.

The Ritz had the State Fair in on of there convention center. There was a little petting zoo, bounce houses, free snack foods and drinks. The kids loved the petting zoo! Britton got in trouble for almost taking the baby chicks head off... twice!

Cameron and Christy came down to watch the fireworks with us.

Hannah and Natalie waiting on the fireworks... such pretty girls!

I love him so much!

Best firework display I have ever seen! Can't wait to go back next year!

Jayden's 3rd Birthday Party

Jayden Parker is now 3 years old... and such a big boy! Rhea and Geoffrey had a Toy Story birthday Party for Jayden at Linda's house and it was lots of fun! Happy Birthday Jayden! We love you very much Cowboy Joe! Jonathan being such a fun dad!
