JANUARY 30---Memphis turned 6!!! He is getting so grown up. Guess who has the same birthday as him?!?!? His kindergarten teacher! Memphis wanted to get her a rose (completely his idea) and then he took cupcakes to share with his class. Memphis loves his teacher and has been enjoying school.
We went to his parent teacher conference and he is doing so well! He can read and write (his handwriting is beautiful!) He is so smart at Math. Memphis also made a card for his teacher and told her that he loves her. He is so sweet. His favorite thing at school is computers. I thought he would say PE with mommy ;) but he loves computers!
That night Memphis chose Chuck e Cheese and my cousin's son came with us. It was fun! After we got some pizza and went and spent the evening at my cousin's house. What a great day!
On Sunday we had friends over for a Super Bowl party and we also had cake and ice cream so that Memphis could blow out his candles!
Memphis didn't have to go to the dr. for his well-check-up this year. He is all done and caught up on his shots till Jr. High!!! YAY!
Memphis got a lot of money this year (from grandparents, and great-grandparents, and an auntie) so we took Memphis to a big toy store and he chose a present. He LOVES it! It is a building kit that has a marble track and musical pieces that the marble hits as it travels along the track. He spends hours every day building new ways for the marble to travel. So cool! THANKS EVERYONE!
Memphis' kindergarten class celebrated the 100th day of school. After school that day he said he was all done with school and didn't have to go any more. SORRY buddy but you have a lot more school ahead of you!
Memphis drew a picture of his daddy!
Danny and I got a babysitter and took advantage of the beautiful weather we were having one day in February. It was 68 degrees---crazy warm for February in Utah!!! We went golfing. I was doing another round of 21 day fix so I wanted to get some exercise. We decided to walk. We walked 3 1/2 miles doing 9 holes! After we went to dinner to a steakhouse and I found something healthy on the menu!
The next day the weather was beautiful again so we spent the day at the park.
The schools celebrated Valentines Day on Friday the 13th. Memphis and Kayzee had fun at their school parties. I even got surprised with a bunch of Valentine's from my students. After school Danny's sister Emily who is currently attending Snow College drove up to stay with Memphis and Kayzee for the weekend. So nice of her! The kids had fun!
The reason Emily came to stay with the kids for the weekend was because Danny and I planned a weekend get away! Saturday we were going to be golfing all day so Danny said I could pick everywhere we ate and he went clothes shopping with me! He let me get new clothes (since I lost weight) and he said he enjoyed spending that time with me seeing me model my new clothes! I don't think he would do it again though;) After shopping we drove down to Cedar City. On the way we stopped to get some Dairy Queen and then finally made it to Danny's brother's house. We spent the weekend at his brother's house with his wife and also Danny's parents and one of his sisters came too.
Saturday we drove down to Mesquite, NV to go golfing at the CasaBlanca Golf Course. Beautiful 85 degree weather! Danny's brother's wife had some connections and we got to golf for free! That night we went out to eat at Chili's and then Danny and I headed home. Quick trip but it was so nice!
One day it got really quiet in our house and we couldn't find Kayzee. Finally found her buried under big pillows fast asleep!
This last weekend was a date-filled weekend!
Friday after school Memphis and Daddy went on a daddy-son date to McDonald's and Bowling.
Kayzee and I went on a Mommy-daughter date to get frozen yogurt and we did our nails.
Friday night our ward offered free babysitting and had a dinner, dessert, trivia night for the adults.
Saturday afternoon Memphis and I went on a Mommy-son date to Pizza Pie Cafe because Memphis had a free buffet.
Daddy and Kayzee stayed home and played board games and barbies (best dad ever!)
Saturday night we had a family date shopping and playing games!
We got our tax-return and we also sold Danny's 4-wheeler!!! (Sad day but we needed the money) We used most of the money to pay off debt but we also went shopping and spoiled ourselves a little!
Danny bought a new playstation, Memphis got a new game, Kayzee got a ken doll, and I got a fitbit!
Love my fitbit! Excited for it to help me reach my weight loss goals! I also found out that I won the fitness challenge in the challenge group I was apart of for my first round of 21 day fix! My hard work paid off in many ways! YAY for free shakeology!
I finished round 2 of 21 day fix and lost 2 pounds. Didn't do as well as round 1 because Valentines day fell in the middle but I didn't gain any! I also love my fit bit and it helped me lose those 2 pounds. Now I am excited to feel healthy and fit again with round 3! Seriously love how I feel when I eat healthy and do the awesome workouts. I planned my first week and prepped my food so I am ready to rock this round!
Funny---Kayzee picked out the ken doll to go with her princess barbies and on the way home from the store Kayzee kept saying she loved her ken doll. Memphis got confused and thought she was saying kindle. He got so mad and said, "That's not a kindle. It doesn't have any games on it!"
Funnier---I decided to listen to Memphis saying his prayers last night (just curious because he doesn't usually let us). Here is what he said, "Please bless that our house can be painted purple with pink windows but that the inside can stay the same. And please bless that when I get out a toy to play with it can clean up all by itself." Kids are the best!
Funniest---(Memphis after singing along with his good night song) "Wow I sang that song so good and I sang every word. Maybe I shouldn't go to the fire station and be a fire fighter after all like I thought I should be when I grow up. Instead I should be in a rock concert and sing that song with a strobe light behind me. It would be so awesome. And then I would be older and my teeth would get loose from singing so much they would fall out and the tooth fairy would bring me lots of dollar bills. Or books!!! I think I would rather have books!
Love your quote captures at the end. So darling!
