March 11-13 Girl's Weekend

Friday evening Ashley, Kelli, Leanne and myself all headed down to Kansas City for our annual girls weekend to hang out with Brandi and Michelle!  We normally do not always have Kelli and Leanne with us so Ashley and I were excited that they were able to make it!!!  And I loved being around all of my besties!  I feel like we need to do it more often.

Once we arrived, we met Brandi and Michelle at Applebees for some drinks and appetizers.  After a good hour or so of catching up we headed to hotel.

Saturday morning we got up had breakfast at the hotel and then headed to Brandi and Michelle's place.  Once we arrived we had mimosas and more breakfast.  This will begin the cycle of us eating and drinking every 2-3 hours.  SERIOUSLY this happened!  We headed to IKEA and went shopping after shopping for about 2 or 3 hours we went to Chilis for lunch.  Yep more food, more drinks!  Went back to hotel to take a nap.  Got up in time for happy hour at the hotel.  And you guessed it, it was about 2 hours later!  More food, more drinks!

After Happy Hour we headed to the restaurant for dinner.  Yep it was 2 hours later before we had more food and more drinks!  However, dinner was amazing!!!!  After dinner we thought it might be best to walk around for a bit and we found this little bar that served all kinds of different shots.  It was pretty cool.  However, I think the shots were just mainly juice, which to be honest was probably for the best!

We had a great time and I can't wait to spend more time with my girls!  Love you all!

A few random pictures!  We had lots of fun!  And we loved snap chat!

March 9

Yes, I know, almost a whole month of no pictures or updates!  Sorry!  Honestly, we didn't do a lot and now that it is March I promise that I will be posting more as we are almost done with winter!  YAY!

Tonight a group of friends and I all signed up for a canvas painting night through Groupon!  We loved it.  Okay, I was a little stressed (a lot stressed, I have no creativity)  but with a glass of wine (or two) I made it!

We will for sure be back!

Beginning...yikes...this is where I started my first glass of wine!

Kathy and I trying to figure out what we are doing!

Noah had his last Cub Scouts meeting tonight.  It was the annual Blue and Gold Banquet!!!  Noah was able to cross the bridge over from cub scouts to become a Boy Scout!  Randy and I were so proud of him and the hard work he put forth.  I can't wait to see what he does in Boy Scouts.  As of now, Noah loves being active with Boy Scouts, I only hope that continues.  This summer he will have scout camp for a week.  He is already looking forward to it.

Way to go Noah!

Memphis had to get ear tubes put in and his adenoids removed.  I was a little worried about how Memphis might do, but he did amazing!!!  Grandma and Grandpa Palmer were there and that helped him a lot.  He also got to bring his stuffed animal, Freddie with him!

As they wheeled him away to surgery, and he was crying (just a little, he actually did really well) I just about started to cry.  Geez!  What will I do when he goes off to college?!

Surgery went well and recovery was fast!

Waiting for the doctor!

Not real happy about the idea of putting on a gown but Grandma was working on it with him!

And he finally put it on!

And we have a sleepy boy but he did amazing!!!!!

SNOW DAY!

Nothing beats a snow day!  Even when you are an adult you still love snow days.  The best part if you are a kid is the sledding.  The best part if you are a parent is having a hill in your backyard that the kids can sled down and you do not have to go outside to watch!  But you can watch from the warmth of your own home!!!
So the boys went out sledding, thanks to Noah he took great care of Memphis and they went out there for a good half hour.

My friend Jessica and I have started our own clothing business through LuLa Roe.  We love the clothing as all of the clothes are so comfortable but at the same time looks great.  With both of us being teachers it is right up our alley!  If you love leggings and tunics we are your hook up!  We also carry dresses, baseball tees, and pencil skirts!  I love the pencil skirt, the baseball tee and of course leggings.  But honestly, all of it is amazing.  So if you are in the mood for some shopping come check out what we have on our Facebook page: Best Dressed in the 515: with Jen and Jess.  Just search for us and you should find us!!!  We will also be having boutique hours so that you can come over and try on the clothes to see what you truly like.  One last plug, if you ever want some free clothing and a discount on what you buy let me know as you can host a party!!!

I am wearing the leggings and Jess has a a dress from LuLa Roe (however, we do not sell that style yet)

Zach's Birthday Party

We celebrated Zach's Birthday a few days early this year.  He chose to go to Smokey D's (BBQ place) for dinner!  It was good food as usual!
After dinner we headed to Chris and Sara's for some cake and ice cream.  We also got to meet their dog Duke!  He is such a great dog, however for some reason Memphis was scared too death of him. However, by the time we left he had finally warmed up to him and decided that he was a good dog!!!

Happy Birthday Zach!  

Duke getting Papa and Memphis and I escaping him!

Memphis still not sure about!  Didn't even want his legs close to him.

By the end it was much better!
