Rachel's Valetines

Fun Day

Today was my first full day off ( besides sunday), in a while. It started out nice getting to sleep in until 9!!! I haven't done that for a really long time. Kevin woke up early and got Rachel fed. Then my friend Vanessa and I made our second attempt at a store in Yuba City that had fancy little girl dresses. We tried to go Monday but they were closed. We found some really cute things for our kids. Then we went to a kids consignment store where I think I got the best bargain I have ever got. They let me fill a plastic bag for $5.00. So Heres what I got; a tommy hilfigher coat, baby vans, four more pairs of shoes, 3 zip up hoodies, A few pairs of pants and some tops. I had about 25 items all for 5 bucks! It was awesome. Then we went to lunch and I had a really good time. Came home and hung out with my hunny then he let me go out and run some errands and I had some nice alone time. All in all it was a good day.

I was really inspired by this clip. If any of you have a cat I can borrow let me know. Lol!

Gymnastics class

Rachel had picture day at Tricks gymnastics. I think she looks like sporty spice in these pictures. She really enjoys her class. She is one of the oldest kids in her tumble bunny class. Pretty soon she will graduate and move up to the toddler class. She has a lot of energy so the gym is really good for her.

Rachel meets Santa

For those of you who know Rachel, know that she loves people and will pretty much go to anyone... ...anyone, that is, except for Santa. We took Rachel to sit on Santa's lap for family home evening on Monday. She freaked! Maybe it was because we put her down on his lap and then ran. We were just trying to get out of the picture. Or maybe Kevin's days of having a mustache ruined her chances to want to sit with someone who has all that facial hair. Who knows. We think her picture turned out cute even though she is screaming her head off. Wish us better luck next year.

The UGLIER the Sweater the better

Kevin and I hosted an ugly Christmas sweater party last weekend. I have been wanting to have one for a while now. It turned out really fun. I was impressed by all the nappy sweaters. My personal favorite was Doug's because it had Kevin's face on it. I really liked Andrew and Meridith's sweaters because not only were they ugly but they even lit up. Thanks to everyone who came to our little party. Maybe we will do it again next year somewhere else so we could invite more people. Another hi light of the night was the white elephant gift exchange when John Blaser opened this really ugly robe and nighty set compliments of the Morgans. I laughed at it for a long time. Good times!

I hope Rachel never does this
