Such a great week!

We were waiting for dance to start one day and I got these pictures of Ali. If I were to paint them they would remind me of a cross between a Degas and a Rembrandt. The light shining through the window on the dancer. I thought they were beautiful photos of my beautiful daughter so they must be posted. Nothing else to do about it.

Curious minds want to know....

And the gap gets wider!!! Snaggletooth is his new nickname. Can you believe Ty lost another tooth? The irony of it all is when he had his last tooth pulled a few weeks ago my dentist told me to get him to the orthodontist straight away. So, we went, he has no teeth but we took him to the orthodontist and he needs a whole bunch of structural work done. Great! No teeth but here we come orthodontist.

Amanda turns 20!!! For those of you who have know me a long time you will be freaking out with me on this one. Amanda was my baby, she loved me the most for a very long time. She is all grown up and studying to become a nurse. She is such an amazing lady and I am lucky to know her. I love you Mands! You are going to do amazing things in this life because you are so DETERMINED!

We had such a great week because Sadie and Hollie came for a visit. We had so much fun hanging out with them and remembering what it is like to have a baby around.

Sadie was enthralled with the trumpet concert.

Sadie was not so amused with the soccer game. She wanted to get out there and play, what is this sit on the sidelines and watch thing. She got very good at saying open and tic-tac. She loves the pink gratefruit flavored tic-tacs!!!

Sadie loves to read especially books on the i-phone which she can load herself. Whhhatttt??? She can use the i-phone, find her apps and load them herself. Then she has fun playing them. Did I mention she is 18 months?

Sadie's favorite activity is playing with the dogs. Full facial kisses are the best, lots of dog tongue involved. Grosses us all out but she LOVES the dogs. The dogs love her too because she is so generous with them at meal time. They are more than happy to pick up whatever she drops, which is nearly everything you give her. It was so fun to have them visit!!

Ali at her soccer game doing tricks during her brake time. Shouldn't she be resting?

We have had such a fun week this week. So Byron's retirement plan is to buy one of those big rigs and have a traveling home. My plan is to buy a beach house and rescue sea turtles. We will see who wins. He was a happy man testing out this big $250,000 RV. It was nice I will give him that. As for being my permanent residence, I don't think so.

So I got amazing news today! We got a H&M in Farmington, Utah. That is only fifteen minutes from my house!!! Can you believe it? I discovered H&M as we were moving away from D.C. and was so sad to say good-bye. But then Dallas got one so that was better because I could shop it whenever I was visiting the Pollan's. Good bonus. But now, we are making it big-time in Utah. We got our own. So now we have Chipotle, which we love! Awesome chips and guac. We got Five Guys which Byron actually has talked out loud in his sleep about....not joking here. He was so happy for Five Guys to come, we even have a Five Guys Now Open sign hanging in our garage from their opening week. Best burgers around....I hate to get greedy here but I could still really use a Pot Belly Sandwich; amazing sandwiches and shakes...... and a Sweetwater Tavern, best ribs ever! I know I am asking a lot, but look at all the great Eastern establishments that have moved out West so far....it could happen, right? So tonight for date night you know where you can find me. H&M here I come!!! Such a great week!!!
