Been a long time...

What a total slacker I've been!...and I'm going to slack once again and quickly give a brief update all the going ons of the last several weeks. I keep telling myself one day life will slow down...ha ha ha.

What started out as a "Boys Only" weekend ended up with me in it. But I was extremely grateful and excited to be able to go to the great state of Texas for the BYU game! (Even though we lost) It was a wonderful little getaway...conveniently located right by my birthday! We had a fabulous time! And all I have to say is Texas knows how to tailgate!

Never mind the obnoxious father-in-law doing the bunny ears in the background...it was a "boys weekend" after all!

We toured around the Texas campus that afternoon before the game. It was HOT! But fun to see this campus!

Next was Hailey's first day of preschool. She didn't start for over 2 weeks after Micah did and had a hard time waiting patiently! She was so excited to be able to go to school too and couldn't wait to get out the door!

She has a hard time understanding why she doesn't go every day like Micah does. She talks about all her new friends and goes on and on about what they did that day. She gives much better details than her brother ever has! When Micah started preschool I thought it was the longest 2 1/2 hours! Hailey goes for 2 hours, twice a week and it goes by entirely too quickly!

Last but not least is Micah's birthday this past Saturday. My little boy is 6 and growing up so fast! For months he talked about wanting a football field cake with "guys". He was very specific how the cake should look. I'm no Martha Stuart but I think it turned out alright!

What a kid we've raised to want a BYU football cake!

Micah was also very insistent on a friend birthday party. So he invited a few friends and all his cousins that are his age to Jungle Jim's. He and Hailey have talked about it non-stop so I would say it was successful!
