mommy & brody lunch and shopping date

for my birthday I got all kinds of free meals at places one was for Pietro’s a free mini pizza, salad bar and drink.. plenty for little man and I

one evening brody and I ran up to Five Guys for Burgers to take home since daddy and ryley had never tried them before.. they were not impressed.. the price is just insane for a burger that don’t have much flavor.. we would choose In-N-Out anyday!

BAILEY IS 11

In my daughter's eyes,
I am a hero,
I am strong and wise,
And I know no fear,
But the truth is plain to see,
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I want to be,
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,
Everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace,
This miracle god gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak,
I find reason to believe,
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger,
How it puts a smile in my heart,
Everything becomes a little clearer,
I realize what life is all about,
It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,
It's giving more when you feel like giving up,
I've seen the light,
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes,
I can see the future,
A reflection of who I am and what will be,
And though she'll grow and someday leave,
Maybe raise a family,
When i'm gone I hope you see,
How happy she made me,
For i'll be there,
In my daughter's eyes

I cant believe my baby girl is already 11 years old…I cant put into words how special and beautiful inside and out this young girl is, she is probably the biggest sweetheart I have ever known, and I am truly Blessed to be her mom!

For her Birthday this year we had a yummy dinner (her choice) then went out for ice cream, she got money and saved to buy an ipad which she loves!!!

GYMNASTICS

In Jan the girls went to a free gymnastics class with the intentions of starting… they had fun but both decided they wanted to play softball instead… they will both take the summer off from sports, then in the fall bailey will play fall volleyball and peyton will start gymnastics!

these pics are blurry, but I’ll explain to help… here peyton is doing a straight somersault

below is bailey (in the white shirt) doing a cartwheel and you can see peyton I the middle doing some as well
