So Sweet!
Caylie, Heidy, Arden and Andy
Mim and Arden
Thursday night I surprised Arden and took her and some of her friends to see Disney on Ice. I bought the tickets back in July, and didn't tell her about it until we got into Nashville. All of the kids thought we were going to the fair and still didn't catch on, even after being in the car for so long and on the interstate. I wish I could have taken a picture of their faces when I told them what we were doing. It was priceless! We had a great time and the kids loved it! Arden and I made her and Andy a birthday cake on Wednesday night since his birthday was on Monday. Friday was her actual birthday so we went to Chuck E Cheese after Channing's Dr.'s appt. We never eat there because we HATE their pizza, so we met Mim at Macaroni Grill and had her birthday lunch. Friday night, of course, we hit up the fair with Kirby, Regan and Connor. She and her daddy got to spend some quality time together and I got to watch! :) We had a great time, but were exhausted on Saturday. Here are some pictures from our week! I am ready for some normalcy around here! I hope everyone had a great week!

Happy Birthday Andy!

Today is Arden's best "boy" friend's birthday. They have been best buds since the beginning of last year. They both swear that they are not girlfriend/boyfriend, but you would never know it from the way they act. I know when I see Arden coming down the hall at school, Andy is somewhere close by. This is a picture of them after the Valentine Pageant. He was the only usher she would walk with...

The Fair is here!!

Today marks the beginning of the fair! Ahhh, the memories. When I was a child, it was the time of the year that I couldn't wait for. I loved going with my friends and hanging out. We never really rode that many rides. Most of the time it was just a big social gathering and a time to see all the cute guys. :) Now that I am older, it has a whole new meaning. It is no longer about me and what I like, it is only about Arden. And when Channing is old enough, she will enjoy it too. We are not going tonight because I am too tired. We will go tomorrow night and see what we can get into, but tonight I am staying far away!! Arden's birthday is Friday, so after Channing's Dr's appt. and when Mike gets home, we will make our way over to fight the crowds. Nothing like trying to push a stroller through a sea of people!

If you have a favorite memory, please share! I would love to hear it!
