Zack and Trendon went to Kansas City today with Grandpa Clay to see a Royals Game! So, I decided to plan a special day just for the girls. Since the forecast said it would be 100 degrees here in Omaha , we opted for indoor activities.
My friend, Lisa came over to help run a spa for the darlings. We gave pedicures, manicures, facials, and fixed up their hair! So much fun!! The girls have already asked when we could do this day again and even Skyler stated, "This is the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!" :-) So cute.
After all the girls were sufficiently pampered we let them each choose a kid recipe to create! Abby chose a crunchy snack mix, Skyler chose a Hanukkah cake (?? :0), and Livie chose tea-cup cookies. We headed out to the store to purchase the ingredients for each recipe and then rushed home to get started on our delectable treats!
Might you say, that's a great day for some little girls?! Did we stop there?? OH NO!;-) Then we had a make-shift pool party in the back yard to relax...haha
Super duper beautiful day having fun with all the girls. However, can I have tomorrow off to relax?:-)

Wheeeew!!
This week we are missing 80% of our kiddos:-( Skyler and Trendon are in TX and Abbie and Liv are in KY. Our house is SOOOOOO quiet! To stay busy today I started organizing/cleaning out closets. I bet I could fill the back of my van already with trash bags full of clothes to give to Goodwill! It feels so good to get rid of stuff we don't use!
Cute/Interesting things to note from the past few weeks:
Mia: Her ability to communicate has changed DRAMATICALLY in the past 2 weeks or so....she has learned "night-night", "uh-oh" and "he woo" (hello). But, by far the cutest is still when we say "I love you" and she replies with just, "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Also, tonight during dinner Zack decided to try and teach her how to use a spoon to eat. We thought it would still be weeks before she could master it but low-and-behold, she cleaned a whole bowl of mashed potatoes all by herself!!! She was SOO proud of herself!!!!
Liv: Has been struggling the past few weeks with "night-mirrors":-( We now have an entire new bedtime routine which includes asking Jesus to give her "peace in her heart." She has been doing much better...and it is beautiful to watch her pray and trust God!!!
Trendon: My momma and brother came up to visit this week during their Spring Break from school. While they were here they went to have lunch with the kids at school. Daniel sat with Trendon....and said that he is EVERYONE'S buddy!!! He even said that a little girl came up to him to tell him how nice Trendon is:-) He is definitely our little socialite!!
Abbie: Abbie was nominated by her teacher for "Outstanding Student of 2009" for her class!! We were shocked and so proud. For her reward she gets to walk in a parade at an Omaha Royals game in a few weeks, get greeted by the players, and recieve a certificate. She is bursting with excitement!!
Skyler: Has made a very best buddy at school named Cheyenne. They have been calling eachother and planning sleepovers!! We are thrilled because in Kentucky she didn't seem to connect with a "best friend" type. She seems to have really fit in at Josleyn and is thriving there! Also, you must ask her to draw you a picture next time you hang out with her.....she is fast becoming an amazing artisit!!!!! Zack and I have been blown away by some of the things she has been drawing.
Zack: Zack just returned home from a week way in Orlando for work. I thought I would be just fine without him....but I missed him LIKE CRAZY! I am so glad he is home, but this travelling is something I am going to have to get used to cause this ain't his last trip:-( Also, he is attempting to organize his garage aka workshop as he has many projects in mind!
Me: I did sign my first client this past week at work!!!! I am absolutely elated and can't wait to start working on their campaign for '09. Of course, I am anxious to prove my abilities and feel worthy of this job!:-)

Plugging Away
Poor blogger....I have neglected you! We have had lots of fun over the past few weeks but also been incredibly busy and tired. In fact, as I type away at 9pm, my sweet darling husband is already snoring beside me!
The girlies and I were home alone this week-end while Zack and Trendon made a whirwind trip to Kentucky with Clay to get the rest of our furniture from the house there. While they were gone we decided to play beauty shop and above are pictures of Abbie and Skyler after their make-overs! They are getting so close to "tweens" that its just crazy! I am glad that for now, I am still included in the beautifying. However, while I was curling hair and applying make-up I was thinking about how they day will come when they don't want my help anymore. I can't believe HOW FAST they are growing. Abbie and Skyler are practically self-sufficient now. They can shower alone, fold laundry, cook (even bacon and eggs!), and read practically as well as I can.
Mia's personality is really starting to come out. She is officially the clown of our house. She will do anything for attention and to get a laugh! I do have some adorable videos to share but....still have trouble uploading them. I'll get Z's assistance sometime when he's not distracted by sleeping!!
Love to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
