Tuesday is our "crazy day" even for us and the busy schedule that we usually keep. Kyla goes to school early for Jr. Chorus, home after school to squeeze a half hour of homework in, then off to swimming. After swimming we grab a quick bite to eat and then head to soccer practice. Home by 7:45 to shower, finish any homework, read and get ready for bed. Whew!

The weather - windy, rainy, sunny. As you can see the sun would tease us and then the dark clouds would roll in followed by rain and wind. My back hurt when I got home from shivering so much as I watched practice.

Kyla and Kayla

We survived the weather and Kyla and I headed straight to the nearest coffee stand for hot chocolate!

On Thursday after getting Kyla off for the day Lilly and I headed to Hello Cupcake to meet up with the Trent girls. Coffee and mocha cupcakes for the mommies and cupcakes and milk for the kiddos! Perfect way to start a day!

Lilly enjoyed a vanilla cupcake, chocolate frosting with a specific request for a blue candy flower

Emory's selection was a vanilla cupcake, chocolate frosting with a pink flower

and Makenna chose a chocolate cupcake (smart girl!) with vanilla frosting.

Lilly and I took Emory (Lilly's BFF) back to our house for a playdate

My little Lilly is a lover of many things.. most notably high heels! While she loves to sport her own "play heels" her very favorite pair of heels to wear are mommies leopard print high heels. She has worn them more than mommy could ever imagine wearing them and has really claimed them as her own! She tromps around the house daily in them!

I just had to show you a close up for the appreciation factor!

My two lovely little ladies that make my world a little crazy at times... but amazing!

We had a busy weekend this weekend. Tony was gone on a fly fishing trip with some buddies over near Yakima but the girls and I had plenty of things going on to keep us busy.

Kyla was invited by her friend Morgan to help out with a Special Olympics fundraiser. The fundraiser was Tip-A-Cop statewide at all Red Robin locations. Morgan's mom is a police officer and recruited the girls to help hand out balloons and donation envelopes.
Lilly and I spent the afternoon together while Kyla was helping with the fundraiser. We went shopping and visited Grandma Lori at work and had lunch. Lilly is big into smiling for pictures so I have been taking advantage of ample opportunities to snap pictures of her and her really big smiles. I love the wrinkly nose smile....

Like this one!

On Sunday we were LOVING the 65 % weather!

This is Kayla.. one of Kyla's closest friends. Her and Kyla love spending time together!

Tall Vanilla Bean Frappacino... hold the coffee! Kayla introduced Kyla to her favorite drink at Starbucks. I think Kyla is hooked!

Oh.. make that Kyla and Lilly!

Lilly has gotten into the habit of saying "Mom, lets rock n' roll" meaning I'm ready to leave the house and go wherever it is that we are going =)

These are Lilly's new favorite shoes... they are fabulous right? Well, they also happen to light up. Beyond fabulous.. right?

My Lillybug turns 3!

The birthday girl requested a Abby Cadabby themed party... so that is what she got!

Treats were Abby Cadabby themed... of course!

"Magic Wands" - white chocolate coated pretzel rods

Party favors! Lilly said "that's so magic"
