Madelynn's braces!

Madelynn got braces on her bottom teeth today!

First Day of school 2010!

Today was the first day of school. Madelynn's in 3rd and Ava's in 1st! I can't believe it. They are getting big fast! It was also my first day back at work. Boy am I tired. I am not a morning person at all!

Check up

I had my 3 month check up for my diabetes today. I have lost exactly 70 pounds since January! Woo hoo! My A1C was 5.6 and the doctor said that is a normal non-diabetic level, so she said the diet and exercise is working really well. It was a good appointment! I just need to start walking again, I haven't been going as much since school got out, so I haven't lost as much weight. School starts in 2 weeks, so it should get easier!

Wow! Twice in a week!!

It's been a little nuts around here lately. I was sick last weekend with a fever all weekend. That was no fun. Then this weekend the girls were in the International Days parade for dance and we spent the afternoon hanging out at the festival they have in the park. That night we went back for a dueling piano show. If you've never been to one you should check one out. It was a ton of fun! Monday the girls had to go to the orthodontist!! Madelynn's getting braces on the 31st! Can you believe it? I can't!! She's only 8 1/2!

Yesterday was our 8 year anniversary from our church wedding. We got a babysitter and Travis and I went out to dinner. It was nice to spend some time alone. Today is our 9 year anniversary from the day we got married at the justice of the peace. I can't believe it's been 9 years. It seems to have gone so fast, and so much has changed in that short amount of time!

Here are a few pictures of the girls from the parade and at the dance that a few of the studios in town did for National Dance Day.


Also want to mention that my favorite band, Buckcherry has a new cd out today. You can go to www.buckcherry.com to find out where to order it! It's really good and no swear words on this one!
