Playing catch up

So, here I am again, way behind on my blog so this is a catch up post.

Last week I gave a friend of mine a surprise baby shower. She is pregnant with her 6th (yeah, I know she's nuts!). I figured she could use some help.

It was a "Dinner and diapers" baby shower. I asked the guests to bring a frozen meal and/or diapers and wipes.

Last month I did a Turbo Kick instructor training with my friend Monica. So now I'm now a certified Turbo Kick instructor. Maybe it's an early mid-life crisis thing?

Last month was also Lexi's birthday. She decided to go to Jump On It for her party.

After Jump On It we came home and had chips and sandwiches for dinner.

Lexi picked "Better than... (pokemon, Robert Redford) cake", whatever you happen to call it. All I can say is YUMMY!

One night I got a call from our neighbors inviting us over to see a special guest who was at their house. I was out for a "girl's night" so I had them call Matt to take the kids over.

Yup, it's a baby kangaroo. Wish I could have seen it.

Kolton's been doing fundraisers for Choir and Drumline. He sold tickets to two different Flash games as a fundraiser for each one. For the one the choir sold tickets to they sang "The Star Spangled Banner" before the game started. Somehow this got lost in translation when he asked if I wanted to buy tickets to this game. I told him I would rather just give them the money for the tickets so they could keep 100% of it instead of 1/2 of it. Then some friends invited us to go to the game with them and after they invited us I found out the choir was singing at the game. In other words it all worked out and we got to see them sing:) They even had seats right on the floor, front row! So much fun! Then the drumline sold tickets a few weeks later for a different game. This time we did buy tickets so we could see the drumline perform a pregame show.

Front row seats, on the floor, even jumped a few times when a ball or player almost landed in our laps.
