Trake turned 10. He's a good kid, i like him.He's a bit OCD like his dad, really likes organization and structure.
Brynly and myself drive him nuts.
Eric told him to find a really boring wife if he wants organization and structure.
Trake says he just won't get married.
He got a BB gun (figured that was a good double digit present) and Eric took him to a Diamondbacks game. He suckered Gma & Gpa into a Nintendo DS (good, those things are pricey)
Heres Easter.The Easter bunny came then we got dressed up for church and I remembered we should talk about the TRUE meaning of Easter so we watched The Lamb of God while we came down from our sugar highs.
Brynly had a matching outfit but she lost it. don't get me started...She hates pink so I made her wear this.
Trake also had a new tie but it was "strangling him."
(i told him to get used to ties, he's going to be passing sacrament in a few years)
I had Graces party a week late.My car battery died so I couldn't go buy all my last min party favors.
I made a CD with kids songs.
I put Beyonces - All The Single Ladies on it - people were offended. Grace and Elsie know most of the words to it- I couldn't leave it off, they LOVE that song. Oh well, I guess you take me as I am.
Then we did a Easter egg hunt and I put $ in the eggs so the parents could take the kids to the $ store and buy their own junky party favors.
I thought those cool favors along with a pinata made a great instant party!
PICTURES....to top off the week - we had a great photo shoot that morning with my friend Lindsay from Pied Piper Photo. She gives me a good deal but I can't seem to spend less than $200 on cute outfits for the pics so it usually comes out to be a stressful morning.
Brynly said- AH! I hate pictures you make us get our hair all done and wear fancy clothes and get all crabby when we don't smile.
ya, that was pretty much what happened.
i think they will be REALLY cute though- urban.
next week-just as crazy...stay tuned.

i am laughing about the entire post.
from trake being bugged by you, to the offended moms, to how dang cute the cupcakes were, and what was trake's cake.
sorry i got off track there.
love the crazy life!
sarah you are too funny!!! I think Ryker has OCD too and I dance with my kids to All The Single Ladies at least once a day!! Love that song. =) Leah
First off, money = best party favor EVER.
Second, Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana are way more offensive than Beyonce. I can legitimately get down to Single Ladies {and Goofy singing Mary Poppins songs... that's awesome}. But now I have to listen to all those other songs too.
You crack me up Sarah. I love the way you are-you're real.
I realized after leaving my mom's house yesterday I never picked up those train tracks. So I drove by and they were probably put back in your garage. Where is my brain? Off in outerspace somewhere that is for sure. But yes, I still want to borrow those if that's okay. I'll drive by sometime when you're home.
i'm bummed we didn't make it... we totally missed out on the cash... jk. looks like it was a lot of fun!
oh, and ava loves "single ladies"... you'll have to see her single ladies dance some time. "put your hands up!"
oh, and i love trake's strangled neck comment. awesome.
Its so fun to see your blog! My kids love All the Single Ladies! I am with you.
I love your blog, it's so "real" so you. I have to laugh at the tie thing, my son hates to wear them too. I really like the little banners around the cake stand, such a cute idea!
