Disney Princess on Ice

A couple weeks ago, we decided to take Addison and Brooklyn to the Disney on Ice Princess Classics. Oh my gosh, the girls were just fascinated by the show. We were on the second row and had a wonderful time. I have to say that Disney is just amazing! Everything was so well put together and even the costumes and performers looked so real! My mom, me, Addison, Nana, Susie, Lissa and Brooklyn had a blast!

~ Justin's 30th ~

A couple days before Justin hit the big 3-0 I had a surprise party for him. We did dinner at MacCools. Justin thought he was going with a couple guys to dinner on a "guys night". My brother came to the house to pick him up at 6 and Justin was procrastinating getting ready. I was trying so hard to act so casual, but I really needed him out of the house, so I could get ready and leave, go get the cake and be to the restaurant by 7. I don't think he finally left the house until like 6:15, I wanted to kill him =) haha. They arrived to the restaurant at about 7:30 and everyone was there waiting to yell "SURPRISE" at him. He told me he had never had a surprise party before, and although it was fun, this could be his last one (noted). He was very surprised and said he almost felt a little betrayed...like how did I pull this off behind his back...LOL!

What we've been up to

I heart the Fall!! So, we've been doing some fun Fall things the past few weeks.

Pumpkin Painting
1st it was purple

We went to the Pumpkin Patch =)
Addi and my mom
Addi and Papa and Rara
Sweetie Pie
Dan and Linda had a 1 day lay
over in SLC on their way home to Tulsa from Vegas. It was
a quick visit, but nonetheless it was fun to see them!!

Ghost and Pumpkin cookies



She loves to wear her "new" boots!
Dance class of course =)
And last but not least, we've
had Justin's grandma up for dinner. It gives her a chance to
get out of the house and gives Addi someone new to play with
and show all of her "stuff" to. We love you!!

So, all of this on top of trying to keep the house clean. Getting
the baby's room and stuff ready. And, getting all my Christmas
shopping done. Soon I'll be decorating for Christmas and wrapping
gifts. I need to have it done before little girl arrives because I wont
be able to do everything after the c-section.

Our Tiny Dancer

Just cuz I thought it was a cute pic!

Now, on to the post...

We signed up Addison for dance lessons. She was supposed to start on 9/19, but when Justin and I took her, no one was there. We waited and waited (like 20 min) and no one showed. We then called and no one answered. I was a (pregnant) emotional mess. It was her first day of dance and she was so dang excited. As we left, she said "I guess I'm NOT going to dance today" - I felt horrible! Did I mess up the time? My pregnant brain wouldn't surprise me if I did. So, I had to wait until Monday and call the studio. Well, they canceled class on Friday and were supposed to call me. Hugh, no one called me. So, next month they are going to credit one weeks class for us. Long story short, Addi started class on 9/25 and had a blast! The class is pretty structured and they are learning basic ballet, stretching, and a couple moves to music. Addison kept dancing and singing around the studio - not following instructions, so the teacher had to keep redirecting her. After class I asked how I could help her and the teacher said all the girls are like this the first couple classes and after a time or two, they get the hang of the routine / structure thing. I really think she'll get it soon and love dance like I used too!


Before "class" she had to put on her make-up


Such a girly- girl!

The best pic I could get through the 1 way mirror. She had a great time!
