Super Concert/ Costume Dance

So I just realized that I never wrote about the Super Concert! It was amazing! I dont have many pictures but I wanted to share some so here they are:

So this is Kylee and I with Ellie and Ashton (sorry they got a bit cropped) getting ready for the concert! We had special reserved "nanny" seating :)

THE POLKADOTS!!!

So these are the sashes that fabulous Kylee made us for the dance. The theme was "When I Grow Up" so we had to dress up like what we wanted to be when we grow up. So I was Miss California and Kylee was Miss New Zealand and our two other friends were Miss America and Miss Australia

Miss America, Miss New Zealand, Miss Australia and Miss California. My tiara wouldn't stay in my hair so the joke was that I competed for Miss California but I didn't actually win, it was a good joke because there was a Miss America so I looked really pathetic :)

This is Kyron! haha He and Jordan were Starsky and Hutch. The mustache is fake... don't worry.

Starsky and Hutch :)

This is Candice (she was Esmeralda from the Hunchback of Notre Dame)

This is me and GI Joe. This is my friend Jared who just got his mission call to Brisbane, Australia this picture probably isn't the best example but seriously he is going to be the best missionary ever.

And this is my boyfriend :) I was trying to holdout for a better picture of me but we all know I don't photograph well, so this is what you get! And I know none of you are really looking at me anyway, hes pretty cute huh? :) Love and miss you all!

Auckland Zoo!

We went to the Zoo!! Which if you know me at all you know is my favorite! :) haha i endured for the kiddies :) I was actually doing okay until we got to the birds... they are so loud and creepy! Not okay! Anyway Kylee and I decided to undertake the impossible and take 5 kids under 5 to the Zoo! After checking out the venue for the Superconcert, we packed up all the girls in Dionnes car and sent the two babies with Alana (Kylees sister) and we drove off! We had minimal meltdowns and lots of fun! This picture is me and the girls under the huge Elephant... since the picture wasnt self explanitory... :) Dont you just miss me! :)
After the cold sholder from Anika we have bonded :) Apparently Caydence is camera shy, but this is what we looked like walking around the zoo, we're a zoo of our own.

This is just a super cool peacock

Brooklyn LOVES tigers and whenever we told her we were going to see the tigers shed get down on the ground and act like one... it took us a long time to get to the tigers.

Kylee waiting for our little tiger :)

Greatest picture ever! and it only took us 3 shots!

Delta had been making fun of me at lunch so this is us reconciled :)

Kylee and I got Polkadot t-shirts! The only adult size ones in existance! So we advertised at the zoo... and at institute since we didnt have time to change :)

This is an example of Delta mocking me, look at that face! :) such a spunky one

There is a Polkadot song about pretty much everything and of course we sang every animal one many times today but we just had to stop and sing to the "tall flamingos"

Hope you enjoyed a little overview of the Zoo!

Just a Day at the Beach :)

Anika, Brooklyn, Ashton, and Ellie all on the boat in the beachside playground


Carly the super mom and auntie

This is what happens when i try to kiss boys... poor ashton i dont know if he is as invested in our relationship as me... :)

Our mad dash to the ocean!

So today was sunny!!! And it has been sunny for the past three days! I couldnt resist and i jumped in the pool yestarday... :) it was freezing but soo worth it! Today Carly and I took the kiddies to the beach for a picnic. Carly packed us a delicious lunch in a legit picnic basket and we put sunscreen on everyone and had a beautiful day at the beach. Anika Delta and I ran down to the water many times and found soo many shells, at one point Anika stopped walking in frustration and said, "There are just too many shells!" We had a very funny and sunny day outside, it was amazing. Here are some fun pictures for you.

So this Delta and Anika at the beach! sorry i turned the camera... i didnt really think that one through... haha enjoy

This is a very special video :) haha i taught all the girls something new! i got a bit sick of hearing higher!! all the time when i would push them on the swings. So i decided that while on the swings we all had to be ninjas! enjoy!
