Moms Day Out!!!!

I am doing moms day out again this year! last week was the first day, and it was "western day"! this weeks theme is animal day! it is such a blast and a great way to earn money in the summertime! here are pics i took of each of the kids last week (these are not all the kids that attended, but just some)

Babysitting Palooza!!!

SUMMER!! - need i say more?:)

I love summertime! sleeping in, watching movies every night, lessons, friends, shopping, friends, swimming etc.! One disadvantage about summer activities is that it all costs money!! I happen to be very blessed because I am a female:) i have the "nurturing abilities" that men do not have- says my father. With that ability, I get tonnnsss of babysitting calls! It is so nice to know that a job is just a phone call away from anyone! i get a call ATLEAST once a week for babysitting and it rocks! its such a fun and easy job!

This past week i have babysat 3 families, and that is pretty normal for a summer week! today, actually, i babysat for a sweet family for 9 hours!! it was long, but fun and definentaly worth it! i love getting to know kids, and learning how to pull different strings;) GO BABYSITTING!

Hmmm... I'm now sensing a shopping trip....

dolly's with dad

I came home from school the other day seeing this. yep, they are playing dolls.

A Normal Day at the Cooks.... and Conners Birthday!

First of all....

Now the fun part,

So I walk out because Addi, of course, leaves the house without me knowing and i see this:



and the only way to get them home and bathe, is to.....
give them a bubble bath!!!!!! Am i going to be a great mother or what!?!?

My New Room!

For Personal Progress, one of my ten hour projects was doing my room! I painted, bargained and decorated it! then celebrated with my cheer party! (which will be my next post)

this is what you see when you walk in

my bed!
my shelves right by my bathroom!

Zorrito: the birth of a legend

Zorrito was not my favorite play ever at first, but then once we started our performances, boy was it a blast! its crazy how fast we all grow together once the performances start! they are so fun! Here are some pics;)

we were dancers and had the funnest fans ever!!!!
these are at the cast party!
some people were crazy and jumped in our pool!!
It was so much fun! the PPD (Post Play Depression) how ever, is the hard part, but no worries, we are having a cast PPDP coming up! (Post Play Depression Party) Thanks for you guys that came and saw it!!!

Weirdos

My parents just left to Africa two days ago! It will be a fun adventure for them! but until they get home, a young couple is staying here with us! they have an adorable little baby boy named Jack! haha! and get this, Addi seems to relate him to "apple jacks" the cereal, and so his new name is apple jack!! hahahha!!!

here are some pics of what savannah and conner looked like when we went to walgreens to get a movie at the redbox. embarrassing? yep.
