So I know i'm really late posting this but basically Skye keeps me really busy and doesn't like to let me have a minute to get on my blog soooo since she's taking a quick nap I decided to hurry and get on. Anyway my first mothers day was great! I slept at my moms house and went to church with my family skye was suprisingly good! She just sat there and stared and smiled which isn't how she usually is in church so it was a great mothers day gift from her :]. The only part that was hard was she kept leaning forward and trying to grab the flower out of the little girls hair that was sitting in front of us haha. After church we had a nice dinner at my moms and we opened presents. It was a nice, relaxing day. Everyone was very helpful and kept offering to take Skye for me to give me a break. It was a a wonderful mothers day!

Since I have the best mom ever, I'd be in trouble if I didn't add a little something about her in here. My mom is my best friend. She is the one friend that hasn't given up on me and has always stuck by me. I have learned how to be a good mom from her. I kind of feel like my mom has been the other parent to Skye in a way. When i'm sick or tired or just need a break, she's the one who takes her. Another thing that I love about my mom is she is so easy to talk to and she always gives me good advice. She is always understanding and sincere. We can seriously laugh about anything, we just get each others sense of humor I guess. Thank you mom :] You're the best!

Bunco! Who ever said Bunco is only for old ladies was wrong! So about 4 months ago my friends and I started a bunco group and it's been great!!! We started out with about six people and we have just kept growing! It's been such a nice way to get the girls together once a month and catch up on gossip and what not haha, no but really it's been a nice break. Hopefully we'll continue it forever because I feel like I haven't been able to get out with my friends in a long time and it's been very needed. Anyway just thought i'd throw that out there cause I enjoy it so much! Love my girls :]

Skye update:
Well Skye now has two teeth. Teething was a horrible experience though, she was grumpy and she fought sleep and to top it off she was congested and ughh it was just a mess. Luckily she has grown out of that for now at least and she is back to sunny Skye. She pretty much hates baby food and only likes to eat grown up food the majority of the time which she gets plenty of that at my moms house. My mom feeds her all kinds of things she's not supposed to like ice cream and cookies etc. That could be why Skye is such a chunker. She was officially 8 months old on the 24th and she weighs about a hundred pounds...ok not really but she's got more to love let's just say that :] I love her rolls though. If I put a bracelet on her, her wrist eats it haha I love my baby girl. She has still yet to crawl, but she is doing really well at standing for a few seconds. She does good until she gets excited and tries to take a step and loses her balance. Maybe she'll learn how to walk before she crawls? Haha I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I love watching her learn new things! She is seriously at such a fun age! I'm loving every minute I get with her!

Girl get away

My mom insisted that I take a picture of her next to the suvivor machine! Brandy and I were so nervous that we were going to get in trouble for it haha.

gel toes!!! Mine are green :]

The last couple of days have been great! On Saturday May 1st, my mom took my sisters brandy, tori and myself to a "girls night" that they were having at the pleasant grove rec. When we first walked in it was pretty awkward i'm not gonna lie but after we found something we were interested in, it ended up being a blast! They had free massages, zumba, make up tips, food,they did our hair and we all got gel toes :] it was really nice spending the day with the girls.

As fun as the girls night was, the real fun started on Tuesday the 4th! My very thoughtful step dad flew my mom, brandy and me out to Vegas for the night! We didn't have a whole lot of time to do much but we were able to shop, get some dinner at T&T and go see the play the lion king! Ahh the play was AMAZING! The costumes were amazing, the voices were amazing, the characters were amazing, it was all just so perfect! After the play we were exhausted so we grabbed some starbucks and went back to the hotel. In the morning we got breakfast and Brandy gambled for the first time before we had to catch our plane. So the trip was short I know but hey it was just long enough to relax and feel refreshed but just short enough that I didn't have to be away from Skye for too long. What a great memoryy this will be :]
