Fun Without the Kids :)

Although I love spending time with my girls it is always a nice treat to go and do stuff with just my hubby and friends. Last weekend Greg and I went with our good friends Adam and Shauna to a 40's Big Band Bash. It was a fun raiser put on by the Pocatello Rotary Club. There was dinner catered by Texas Road House, dancing, live and silent auctions. I even bid on a few of the items for the silent auction but I kept getting out bid...oh well.
You were supposed to try and dress from the 40's so being the movie fanatic I am I just tried to look like one of the girls from the movie Pearl Harbor. Greg wore his grandpa's army uniform pants and then improvised with his own army shirt.

Greg and Adam being the goofy husbands that they are :)


Then they decided they would rather hold their wives then each other.

It was a nice evening, good times with good friends.

My other fun night without the kids was just this past Tuesday night. Me and some of my friends bought tickets to a special Eclipse premier party. Which aloud us to see the movie at 9:00 instead of midnight. So to make it a truly fun evening we first went out to dinner. We all couldn't agree on the same place so a few of us when to Red Lobster and some of the other girls went to a non seafood restaurant.


The party was really cool. You got a gift bag with an Eclipse mug along with popcorn and a drink. They also had t-shirts to buy, Twilight candy, tattoos and a nail painting station. They even had a little trivia game and if you got the answer right you won a Twilight shirt, bag, candy etc. Here are a few of us just playing into the whole Twilight experience. Lisa dressed as Rosalie hence the blond wig which we laughed at cause it looks nothing like Rosalie's hair in the movie :)



That wig was great and it kept us all entertained while we were waiting for the movie to start :)


I know I've said this before but just to make sure everyone understands I'm team Edward by book and team Jacob by movie.


Did I mention Jacob is hot? LOL

We had a blast. Great girls night out.

Summer Time

From spending our last summer in Oklahoma I was just expecting this summer to be blazing hot. Then I remembered that I'm back in Idaho where it's not uncommon to still be in a sweatshirt with the heat on in the middle of June. :( Yes unfortunately we haven't had too many "summery" days so far. But now, finally we are getting some Sun! My girls are even playing in the pool while I layout. Yes I love summer and I'm so glad it's here! Eva and Layla just love to play in the water and go down the slide.


I bought their little bikinis from Gap kids and I think they are just so stinking cute!


Layla's favorite thing to do is scoop up the water.....



and dump it in the grass. I try to get her to dump it back in the pool but I guess that just isn't as fun.



But then they both just go right back to the slide.


I'm just so glad summer is finally here.

My little Dancer

Last week I put Eva in a dance workshop that was put on by one of the local high school's dance team. It was only a week long class where they learned a couple dances and did a little performance for the parents. My friend Shauna put her daughter Halle in the class too which was so fun because Eva and Halle are best friends. I have been thinking about putting Eva in dance this fall and I figured this was the perfect way to see if she would really like it. Well she loved it and her dance was so cute. So here are a few pictures of her at practice.

Of course Eva had to wear a tutu everyday.





This is a picture of Eva and Halle in their matching shirts after their recital.



Here is a video clip of her dance.

Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we finally got family pictures taken. I have been meaning to do it for a while now and with Greg leaving in a few months I decided we better get it done. I am really happy with the way they turned out and our photographer did an amazing job. He took over 300 pictures so I have had a very hard time narrowing them all down but here are just a few of my favorites.
