This is a lot we are looking at. We can't afford to build a house on it, but someday we might be able to. It's amazing! I go every day and walk around and dream.

Daddy Daughter Dance and Braces!!
They had a Daddy Daughter dance at Ivy's school. What a cute idea! They had so much fun and Ivy felt so special and pretty. Too bad we couldn't get her to open her eyes. Here are the pictures we took at home. I will try to scan the photo they got from the dance.
So, also...Ivy got braces!! She turned into a teenager overnight. Braces are great at this age because they think it's cool; it makes them feel old. She suddenly spends a lot more time looking at herself in the mirror. So cute! I can't believe how good her teeth look, too. I was skeptical, but, wow! There has been so much improvement in just a couple months--no more snaggle. She is so cute--honestly, the sweetest kid on the earth.

Lane is 5!!!
Lane wanted a How to Train Your Dragon birthday party so we made viking hat cupcakes to take to pre-school. He was so excited that he got to go to school on his birthday. When Jude got home from work we went to The Spaghetti Factory for dinner (Lane's favorite spaghetti with meatballs) and then to Chuck E Cheese to play games for an hour and then came home and had cupcakes. What a birthday!
On Saturday we had a party at the house with Lane's friends from preschool, t-ball, and church. I made a dragon cake. What??? It's so unlike me...so crafty. To my untrained eye the cake and the cupcakes were pretty awesome and Lane loved all of it which is really what I care about. Cheers!
I promised detailed pictures for auntie Megan...
They made shields and then we played a game where they had to block the ping pong balls we threw at them. That doesn't sound very good, but trust me, they loved it!
Lane is such an awesome kid. He was so happy at his party. He was either hugging someone or had his arm around a friend or two. I just love him! He is such a good kid and so much fun to be around. He is such a boy--he loves wrestling and playing rough, swords and dragons, super heroes, sports, tackling and shooting dad, all of that stuff--but he's a lover too. He is so sweet--hugging me all day long and trying to take care of Scarlett. He has a special voice (really high and sweet) that he uses only when talking to Scarlett. He told me the other day his favorite part of the whole day is saying goodnight to Scarlett because she gives him a hug and a kiss. How did I get such amazing kids?
My birthday
So I forgot to blog this....For my birthday this year Jude got me a day at the spa. It was so nice and super thoughtful. He wanted to make sure to send me to a really nice place and so he asked our resident spa expert, Maria, and she totally hooked us up. She researched it and found a really nice spa in Napa. So on Saturday morning Maria came and picked me up and drove me to Napa for our spa day. It was so much fun! Just the drive alone was awesome. It was so beautiful and relaxing and so fun to sit and chat with Maria all day. We stopped in Sonoma to eat before our massage appointment. Such a cool place! I loved it! We had brunch at a cute little cafe right in the heart of Sonoma. We sat outside under the trellis and ate our avocado pepper jack omelets. The spa was really nice and we had a fab time. Thanks Jude and Maria!!!
