Pedi's for all

This last weekend my mom came down for a "girls day". We had so much fun! just the three of us, me, my mom, and Bree. Our plan was to go and get pedicures at this new place I found on the west side of Olympia. It is right across from the drive through Starbucks. It's called "Spoil Me". I guess it's actually owned by the same guy that owns all of the T-Spas. I like this place actually a lot better!

So, Breanna had obviously never had a pedicure before, being that she is only 3 years old. But, boy, was she into it! It's so cute...this place actually has kid pedicure charis...with built in DVD players so they can watch movies whie getting a pedicure! She sat in my lap in the "big people chair" to get her toes and fingers painted (which they had to do twice because she messed them up...she's a little bit of a rookie :) ). Then she sat over in the "little kids chair" to watch a movie while my mom and I got ours done. The girls that work there are so nice too!
Thanks mom and Bree for a fun day!
Here are some pictures from our day

HAPPY BELATED ST. PATTY'S DAY

Surprise weekend

I know this is a week late, but I haven't had time until now to download all the pictures. For those of you that follow Marley's blog, you may already seen some of these pictures. For those of you that don't know, Marley is one of my long-time BFF's in California. Last Friday, I COMPLETELY surprised her by litterally knocking on her front door! The only people that knew I was coming were her mom and sister. I didn't even tell Marely's husband, Shea. I was able to have lunch on Friday with my dad, he drove 2 hours to meet me in Sacramento, then came with me to Marley's house in Roseville (Sacramento). I had called Marley on the phone about 10 minutes prior to arriving at her house (just to make sure she was at home). I had been asking her all week if she had received the UPS package I had sent her for her shower on Saturday. It hadn't arrived yet, because the package was...ME! So, about 10 minutes after we hung up with eachother, I drove in my rental car while my Dad followed me in his car to Marley's house. We knocked on the front door and Shea answered the door. All he said was, "oh my god, are you serious?" (with a big smile on his face of course)...then he opened the door wider and there was Marley, standing in their living room, still holding the phone in her hand, and she said, "Wait! What? What are you doing?" (as she was looking back and forth at the phone and at me)...it was a great surprise! I then spent the weekend with her family and was able to go to her baby shower...which she is now 2 weeks and 2 days away from the arrival of Dallas Shea Emery. Here are some pics from that weekend.

Way too fast

Remember last week when I posted about Bree's new "big girl bed"? Well, we made another "big girl" step again this weekend. She got a big girl haircut. She has had 5 regular haircuts already, but this one was with an actual "big girl style". Brian has been asking me to get her haircut shorter for a long time, but I always told him I wanted to keep her hair long. So off we went to the beauty salon, "Jack and Jills". It's a special salon just for kids. It's a really cute place. They have TV's mounted on the wall next to each station, a basket full of dum dum suckers, chocolate flavored shampoo, and they have 5 different kinds of chairs to sit in...an airplane, a tractor, a barbie jeep, a horse saddle, and a bike. Breanna always chooses either the tractor or the Barbie jeep. I decided to get her haircut different this time. I thought she needed that "big girl haircut". It turned out so cute! I just love it! Since then, it's all Bree can talk about too. Here are some pictures of her new haircut.

March Snow!!!

Like many of you Olympian's, we woke up to this...pardon my french, but don't you think it's a little flippin' ridiculous? I am so ready for warmer days, BBQ's with friends, and long summer nights.

The things they say...

I have no picture to go along with this post...just wanted to share a funny thing with you all. Last night, the three of us went to dinner at Applebee's. Brian had gotten up to use the bathroom. On his way back, and still about 10 feet from our table, Breanna stood up in her chair and yelled (literally, YELLED)..."Daddy, did you go POOP?" I had to laugh, it was so unexpected! Then as she sees me laughing my head off, with tears running down my cheeks, she decides it was pretty funny too...and so did the table next to us, and the table next to them. Ahhh, the things they say.

Big Girl Bed

This weekend we converted Bree's room from a baby/girl room...to a "Big Girl Room". She was very excited to sleep in her new "polka dot bed" as she calls it. We are crossing our fingers that tonight goes well, meaning that she stays in her bed all night long. It's been 45 minutes so far, and not a peep out of her yet. She has been in a toddler bed since July, but we figured that it was time to actually move into a twin bed. Here are some pics of Brian and Bree putting together her new bed.








Here is Bree when I called her into her new room after it was all put together...







And here is the final product...buh-bye crib, buh-bye changing table...HELLOO big girl!
