Brithday Plate

For my birthday Shavonne and Derek took me out for dinner. Which was really good, and it was nice to just sit and talk with them and hang out. I just love those two. Before dinner though Shavonne took me to polka dot pottery where we each painted our own pottery plates. I copied her and did a birthday plate. It will be used in our family as a special plate for only the birthday person. They get to use it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and everything else in between. I am excited to use it this year for my girls birthdays.
Here is my plate that I did, I think that it turned out pretty cute. When we were painting it we had to do each color 3 times in order for the color to be what we were using. It looked pink when I was done with it in the store, but once they fired it, it turned red, which is what I wanted. Because my kitchen colors are red and white. Anyways, I love it! I am super excited about it. Thank you Shavonne and Derek for a great birthday!

Are you for real?

Some people may not believe this when they hear it or in this case read it...but I did an Iron Man competition. Most Iron mans are done in a day. However, I completed an Iron Man challenge where you are given the month of May to complete the common Iron Man competition of swimming 2.4 miles. Biking 112 miles and running 26.2 miles. My sister came to visit my for one of those weeks in May which put a hold on my mileage (which I was totally cool with because it was such a great visit and uh yeah I got to see Wicked!) so really I did this challenge in 3 weeks. Which for me was so great. I have not accomplished a goal I have set for myself in a really really long time so I am super proud of myself.
Here are some pictures of me in my shirt that I got from the ceremony that they held. Sorry if they are sideways...something is weird with my computer/camera settings (a little annoying). But Yay for me! Bask in my accomplishments with me will you...I am pretty excited.

Just some pictures.

I really like these pictures of me and my girls. They just make me smile.

Baili's Kindergarten Performance

Yesterday Baili's kindergarten music class did a performance to show all the parents what they have learned this year in music. It was so fun to see.
She was so cute. She was well behaved and sang her little heart out. She was on the top row because she was/is one of the tallest in her class. Some of the song they sang were common nursery songs. Others I had never heard before. There were some kids and were so funny, and making funny faces, and some would even comment on how bored they were....Hahaha. Here are a few pictures and a video from the performance. Baili in like in the top middle part of the picture.

WICKED!

Last weekend my sister Sharon along with her two kids came for a visit. The reason for her visit you ask....to see WICKED of course. She got our tickets about 3 or 4 months ago. I was excited. What's more is that all of my family went in and paid for my ticket as an early birthday present for me. I couldn't have been more excited and thankful.
So we got all dressed and ready to go and headed to the INB performing arts center. Where I took a picture of the reader board outside. It was so exciting. Then we went in. We couldn't take pictures in the theatre, it was dark for one, and well it was like against the law or something crazy like that.
The show was AH...MAZING! I love live theatre, and I cannot believe the talent of some people. I was blown away by their voices, and the stage set, and the orchestra! It was just perfect, and so fun and great. I am so glad that I was able to go. It was well just wonderful!
