U to the Tah

So the girls road tripped to Utah 
(E went to her Fam's and I went to my Bro's)
 This must be vacation (she never has sweets)

 2 1/2 months younger than B
 Trevor and his daddy


 We came in to this...so cute
 Always funny Uncle Jay
 Ry guy
Please don't judge any of my pix (I wasn't in photographer mode at all)
and all the good pix are on Betheny's camera.(hint hint)
Despite us catching the flu, it was great visiting my bro and his wonderful family. 
Thanks for the wonderful hospitality (as always)

Girls Just wanna have fun

2 toddler
2 mommas
1 car (x2)
11 hours (x2)
650 miles (x2)
never a dull moment

 So much fun! (at least for me, I wasn't on entertaining duty)

Another treat

Nosh and Namma came for a weekend
With a day early surprise at the door from my dad (awesome!)
We showed them the magic of Primos
 And the rest of the weekend was pretty much this...
 B found herself the perfect tea partner
 Namma never passed up a tea party opportunity
Seriously?! Poor dog
 He even got dressed up for the occasion
The real reason they came was for Justin and Shantel's wedding
(although we like to think it's all about us)
throwing back another one
 B and her (2nd?) cousin (3 days apart)
 I like to think this was the beginning of Bff's
 But I think she just stole his heart and ball
No pics, but Dad and I went on a date to batting cages 
(that might be my sport if I realized this 20 years ago)
then he babysat B while Mom and I got pedicures for Mom's day
(got a couple hundred calls from Nosh in a panic...I found it entertaining)

Livin La Vida Loca

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta
 B's first pinata...her face says it all
 How could I not put this in?
He meant serious business
hahahaha, even knee pads!

Momma's Day

(I'm not too late until it's the next holiday)
Momma's Day Rocked!

 Breakfast in bed
del taco (my fav) brought home for lunch

An amazing filet mignon dinner
but, best part...spending time with the one who calls me Mama

oops

How'd we miss these visitors?!

Uncle Bam Bam and his amazing lady friend came for a visit
 Celebrating him getting old at Gatsby's (best burgers ever!)
 Grandma Judy stayed for a few exra days after babysitting B during our trip

Change is good

I used to be known as Mrs. White 
I worked all day and taught kids about life
But then things changed
Now,
I'm known as Mommy, I work all day, and night 
while she teaches me what life is all about
I loved what I used to do, 
but I couldn't love this any more
Change is good
