Sleep. What's that?

Bryce has been boycotting sleep lately.  I don't know why...  She goes to bed late (after talking or playing in bed for hours) and then wakes up early (around 6 some mornings!).  I'm running on empty. :(  She does take naps most days, but they haven't been the 2-3 hour naps she used to take.  I hope her sleep schedule gets back to normal and fast.  This mommy is tired!

Happy Monday and good sleep to you all! :)

~This Moment~

I saw someone else post this on their blog and I love it!  So here's "my moment" for the week:

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Bryce's 3rd Birthday Party

Bryce had a great 3rd birthday party, after having to change the location.  About 30 minutes before the party was to begin, a storm hit the park/our neighborhood. :(  We had to just have the party at our house.  Bryce didn't mind!  She ran around in her birthday swimsuit the whole time, even though we weren't playing in the fountains anymore. :)  It may have seem chaotic at times, but I think all the kids had fun!    We had enough sugar to make everyone hyper with suckers, cookies and ice cream!  We ended up with bubbles out on the porch, so her party did end up being the "Bubble Party" that she wanted! Thanks to all that came to celebrate with us and braved the storm!  We had a lot of fun!

Bryce turns 3!

Bryce had a fun-packed day for her 3rd birthday!  I'm so happy it was on a Saturday, so daddy could partake in the fun too! :)  Bryce got to choose what she wanted to do for her birthday.  For weeks, she chose Stroller class, lunch at Spangles and swimming.  The morning of her birthday, she made some changes.  So, after we all woke up, we went downstairs and opened her presents and put on her "birthday shirt." 


We then started her fun day!  She wanted to start at the zoo instead of stroller class.  Daddy was super excited because it was Daddy Work-out day at Strollers in motion and he really didn't want a work-out! :)  We spent the morning at the zoo.  She told almost every animal that it was her birthday.  It was so cute!  She got to play on the playground, which doesn't happen often since it gets so hot!  She tried to feed the "sheeps" and the fish.  We also got some mister action in while we were there!  She loves the mister!






After the zoo, we headed home for a nap.  We ALL needed one! :)  She never did get her Spangles for lunch.  She kept saying that she "wasn't hungry.". 

After naptime, we headed to Derby to go swimming in their neighborhood pool.  When we got there they had just gotten home from swimming at the neighbor's and were heading to Derby Days at the high school.  They invited us and we decided to tag along!  My dad/ grandpa (boppy, poppy or mampa) paid for our buttons and tickets for the rides.  (THANKS DADDY!!)  Bryce loved all the rides.  She had never rode carnival rides and thought they were so much fun.  After the carnival, we headed back to my parents for swimming and pizza!  Not a bad birthday day!!

Happy Birthday sweet girl!  I can't believe you are already 3. 
I hope you had the best 3rd birthday ever!

4 Days until Bryce's 3rd Birthday!!

First born
**I should probably start getting things ready for her party on Monday!  So exciting!!**

Sick in the Summer?!?

Bryce and I just got over being sick in the summer.  I know, crazy huh?  Bryce ended up having a fever and throwing up Saturday and Sunday and I ended up having a fever and a really sore throat.  Bryce seems all the way better today, wahoo!!  I did keep her home from swim lessons yesterday and I think that was best for her and the other kids.  I'm feeling better today,  but still have a really sore throat. :(  I don't think either one of us has been this sick in the summer ever....  Hopefully we don't get sick again this summer!!

River Fest and its' races

It was a morning of races for Bryce and I. I ran the 10K and finished with a time of 56:57. That's a 9:11 pace, my best yet! Bryce then had her Tot Trot. She was so excited! She actually took first place in her heat! Here's some pictures from our River Fest morning:
