Disney on Ice

Last Thursday we took the kids to see Disney on Ice: Celebrations with our friends Ky and Larry, and their two kids, Madison and Paul! We all had such a good time. Disney does an amazing job and I will definitely be making sure to get tickets to more of these shows. Also because Ky is awesome friend, and she was down town, she picked up all the tickets and for only 81 dollars we got 4 tickets for our family in section 108. We were in the first row of that section!! The seats were amazing for the price that we paid. Our kids went full out dressed in Disney gear! I love seeing life through their eyes... everything is so exciting and fun. I think that Ryan and I have more fun watching them then they have!

Here are a ton of pictures of the fun night!!

Soooo excited!

I am so excited. Our friends Ky, Larry and their kids and us are all going to Disney on Ice on Thursday. We were able to get 4 tickets for 81 dollars in the first row of 108 at First Mariner Arena!! (Thank you Ky for suggesting to pick them up down town and running to do it! You ROCK!!) Just thought I would tell everyone how excited we are!!! Lots of fall pictures to come soon :)

Really cute

I have snack again for Turner's class today. I have decided to try and get more creative with my snacks, and since it is so close to Halloween I decided to make Spooky Brownies. It was a little time consuming, but REALLY stinkin' cute. I can't wait for him to enjoy them today with all of his friends. My neighbor saw them and has now requested them for her Halloween party on Saturday!

Here is a picture of them for the Betty Crocker site. I will post pictures of the ones I made later!!

Catching up

This fall I have felt like all I have been doing is playing catch up. I started teaching in the city 2 days a week and I have also been teaching a class on Saturday mornings. I really love teaching and I see myself doing it full time in the near future, but I have realized that my children are number one and I can't do it all. I really need to be with them as much as possible still. I don't really like my kids being with random sitters and Ryan works too, so I am trying to cut back my hours some... now only if my boss would cooperate and get moving on this (it has been 3 weeks that we have been trying to get coverage for the Tuesday afternoon classes....)

I have also been working out with a personal trainer for about 6 weeks or so now. I am seen definite results and I am loving it! I am making huge milestones and I crave the exercise when I don't do it. This is HUGE for me and I am really proud of myself :)

I am also PTA president at the kids school... well enough said there!

The kids are growing up right before my eyes! I just adore my kids even when they are a handful!
