Stress Relief

This past week came with a lot of stress, so we decided to let loose a little and just have a blast! It worked great and we are all now very exhausted from a very fun weekend!! So we are smiling for many things today, this is good because we did not post a smile last week.

Thursday Farrah was in the Steel Days baby contest. Although she did not win, it was a well spent $15 to watch her dance on the table in front of the judges. Farrah could not stop smiling the hole time and when she was given a sucker and baloon she gave a gentle "Thank You". Seeing her be so confident was another eye opener of how far Farrah has come in the past 4 months :)

This was Farrah practicing her hot dog dance before we left to the contest. The white circle is her special hot dog dance pad. (hot dog dance comes from mickey mouse clubhouse)

This is after she had performed for the judges and recied a balloon and a sucker :) I am so proud of her!!

On Friday we spent the day hanging out with Kobe and Farrahs cousins OzAleigha and Robby. It was tons of fun having them with us for the day, we played dress up, made lunch, ran through sprinklers, took baths, wrestled with Marcus, colored, and watched movies!!


Kobe and Ozzie playing in Marcus's shoes :)

I dont have any pictures but Friday night Marcus and I went to seven peaks to their night event with Jimmy Chunga. We had a blast going down water slides in the dark (free fall...AHH!), saving eachother in the wave pool lol, doing a rop swing for the first time, and dancing :) we ended the night with going to see the Dark Night Rises although it was sad having to be checked by police officers before entering the theater it was a really good movie!

Saturday morning Kobe ran in her first race!!!! This was a very exciting event due to the fact I have always been a runner, xcountry and track along with my brothers. I ran along side with her cheering her on as she sprinted down every street not walking once! when she tripped and scraped her knees she jumped up and ran full force to the finish line :) Kobe recieved a metal from her daddy as he crossed the finish line and a 4th place trophie in her age division :) The smile on her face everytime she shows someone her trophie says it all.

Kobe woke up early to watch the runners in the 5k run by our house. She was thrilled when eveyone started waving and saying good morning to her, she clapped for everyone that ran by :)

This was Kobe after recieving her award!!

We then went to the parade where the girls got LOADS of candy, flyers, and toothbrushes. Farrah had a blast running after a float that was blowing a large amount of bubbles :) Kobe loved all the dancers and cheerleaders and the highlight of the parade for her was breaking a board with her palm as a karate trailer came by!

The girls had a blast riding the rides at the carnival but were disapointed in our short appearance there due to the fact Marcus and I can not stand the carnival and all the nasty things it exsposes our girls too. With Farrahs lungs all the secondhand smoke was just TOO much!

Steel Days fireworks will always be the BEST!! Kobe made a million friends as always and to our suprise Farrah even joined her. After the show was over and we were cleaning up we looked around and did not see Kobe after yelling "KOBE" 2 times we heard some ladies asking a little girl if her name was kobe and heard them reply to us with "there is a little girl over here giving everyone hugs and saying goodbye" HAHAHA thats all we had to hear to know that was our daughter. She then gave all her new friends a glow stick as they were leaving :)

Kobe gave grandma Kim her princess crown to wear for the fireworks :)

Saturday was my dads birthday and monday in my moms birthday so today we had a birthday party for them both. We were in charge of the cake... although I did not make and decorate this one everyone was amused with the candles we chose.

Happy Birthday Dad and Mom!!

Farrah was our entertainment for the night as she sprayed everyone with a spray bottle I use to do their hair with. She would aim at one of us and spray as hard as she could!! What she did not realize is we were not getting wet, she was! The only way she can spray it is with her thumbs wich means it has to be facing her... this was too funny!! Her face was dripping wet with a huge smile the entire time!

Farrah aiming to spray her uncle Jason but really soaking herself in the process :)

After an eventful week it is nice to come home to an awesome kitty who loves to cuddle!!

Sweetest boy ever is our Vance!!

I am so glad we have so many things to smile for today!
