I would love to write my own recap of Kenny Chesney and the Sun City Carnival but somebody has already done it for me. Click here for pictures and what I could've written myself.
I took some video of all the stars that were there. It's just that these are the two that actually turned out. It was a combination of me being to short for such a tall task and my crap camera that I borrowed from A.J. Lesson learned,always bring my camera,what I am comfortable with. I would have been able to really prove just how close, my man Kenny truly was.
Lady Antebellum were awesome,I really enjoy their songs and how very cute he is in person. Miranda Lambert is my girl. If there was a girlie crush in my immediate future it would be her. Montgomery Gentry BLEW me away. I hope to see them again someday. Sugarland is my favorite so they were hands down everything I expected they would be.
Kenny himself.... I dunno. I LOVED the show,but I expected more. Would I go back? Um hell yeah!!! I haven't had this good of a time in oh I dunno...12 years??? Going to this concert made me realize just how much I love country music. I started with Garth Brooks in eight grade and I have never looked back.

Two years ago I was sick/recovering from Lyme's disease. My aunt called and said she had some free time and could give me a hand with the babies. I jumped on the opportunity and took Savannah and Amelia to the playground. While at the playground I noticed the fence, and behind the fence was the swimming pools,people in bathing suits and lots and lots of fun and laughter. I was not apart of the fun and I was immediately taken back with my wanting/needing to belong,somewhere.
This year we have officially joined the pool as a family. All four kids started swim lessons this week and Savannah and Kiera have really taken to the water. Amelia and Jake are moving at their own pace. A.J. loves spending time with the kids in the pool and myself personally would prefer to stay dry.
Swim lessons are Monday through Thursday and will be for six weeks total. So that leaves Friday as my wash and cleaning day. The weekends are no good for any of that. I find when A.J. is around I get less and less done.
I know enough people to chat it up with and pass time but I am hoping to make new friends/acquaintances this Summer. With Savannah and Amelia in elementary school and Jake and Kiera in preschhool starting this September I will have more of an opportunity to volunteer and get myself out there.
As of right now A.J. and I are unsure if a vacation will happen for us this Summer but I honestly don't think my kids would even notice. So if I am not blogging I am sure it's because I am at the pool getting tan. As my dad would say,what a life.

Savannah has been in dance for, four years now. This will be Savannah's last dance recital,for now. This is Amelia's first dance recital. Although the girl is sort of a natural at ballet this will be her last one for now. I,the most fabulous mother of the year did not go to the actual recital. I opted for a family party instead. A.J. and my mom were there to applaud them. Because let me tell you,they were so damn excited to dance on a stage,in costumes.
The only semi great picture A.J. took. No complaints here...

So Jake cut his hair to the scalp.
If he got any closer he might of needed staples for the second time. It could have been worse. It could have been Kiera's hair and then I would've flipped instead if laughing,uncontrollably.
He was so proud.

Amelia is officially done preschool and will be attending Kindergarten in the Fall. Every time Amelia gets older I panic. My baby. I loved her from the minute I tested positive,through the weight gain and the very painful labor that I will never forget. Amelia was an enjoyable baby and a pain in the ass toddler. She has grown up tremendously in the past year and has this flair that none of my other kids have been blessed with. A flair that makes Amelia,Amelia.
I love that my kids are growing up,until recently. If I could, I would bottle up Amelia at the age of five and hold onto her forever.
Amelia is a mommy's girl. She loves her daddy but not like her mommy. Although she acts and talks just like A.J. and some would say she looks just like him too. Slowly sarcasm is making it's way into her little brain and just this past weekend she casually let a few lines slip out while coloring. We laughed of course,because honest to God Amelia is truly a funny gal.
Amelia is creative,witty and fun. In her own words, she proclaimed that she is the prettiest tooth fairy around. Who am I to argue?

Alternate title... THE BEST SHOW ON EARTH!!!!!
This past week...
Little Miss Fiona found a new place to sleep. I honestly think she got sick and tired of all the shoes piled high in the closet and decided I needed to stop being so lazy. I don't mind because she is out of the way and there have been no shoes lying around for her to chew. (Except for mine and A.J.'s)
Oh the circus. Amelia has found her calling in life. The girl cannot believe that people actually do this for a living. She applauded and applauded and applauded after everything and anything. I honestly believe she is their biggest fan.
Movie night in the park was a huge hit with my kids. The D.J. was great and entertained the older kids literally for hours. Amelia rocked the potato sack race and came in the third. She won a yo-yo that is of course already broken. Amelia is all about organized games these days. The little kids played at the playground before the movie started.
Jake and Kiera watched the beginning of Hotel for Dogs because food was involved. At about 9:45pm they crashed. It made viewing very easy for A.J. and I. Savannah was around but she is not in many pictures because she was hanging with her firnds the whole time. She's way to cool these days.
If you notice Jake has no hair. That is because somebody was very naughty this week with his beloved scissors. Those pictures are to follow. Little stinker.
