Julia and Emily's World

What a fun but busy weekend! It started on Saturday at Planet Gymnastics for Selena's 9th birthday. The kids had fun running around, jumping and playing. After that it was on to Selena's house for more fun and food. Then we took Selena, Mya and Jenna home with us for a sleep-over party. The kids were very well behaved. No fighting at all. Selena was a big help. She read stories and helped the others brush their teeth and get ready for bed. Bedtime was a bit of a challenge. We had them all in the office sleeping together. Selena was the first to sleep. No fussing from her. She's tired so she sleeps. Mya falls asleep shortly afterwards. Jenna and Julia are a different story. Bathroom breaks, thirsty, another bathroom break, talking, wandering the halls. Finally we moved them to Julia's room so they wouldn't wake up the other two. Eventually they fall asleep shortly after 11pm! Now you would think they would sleep in. Nope. All are up at 6:45am!!! N...

Julia is losing teeth faster than are coming in. She lost another one on Friday. Dentures soon?

This week I got a vacation while Mommy and the girls stayed home. I was in Vegas for 4 days to celebrate with friends. They were celebrating their 40th birthdays. I'm not quite there yet but I'm happy for them so I HAD to go and celebrate with them. The highlight of the trip was a helicopter tour to Grand Canyon West. We had 10 in our group so we were actually in two helicopters. We landed in the Canyon and had breakfast before heading back to Vegas. Check out the video below that one of the guys put together. I came home tired, broke (I have NO LUCK!) and in need of another vacation. This may have been a one time only trip with the boys but I sure hope we can pull it off again someday.

Emily has teeth! Her bottom two have sprouted. She's had them for a few weeks but it took awhile to get a picture of them. If you look closely you can see them.
