Advanced!

Kate was moved to the advanced class today! I was in shock. Good shock! Yesterday she was able to swim across 10 feet all by herself! YAY!!!!!So today when she got to class her teacher took her over to the advanced class. I don't know if she will be able to handle it because she still can't stand in the water like the other kids. The other kids in this class are ages 8 and up. I am still very excited that she was able to swim across 10 feet by herself. I wish I would of had video of it but I forgot my camera yesterday and today she practiced other things. (Damn)! LOL! Tomorrow is the last day of Swim camp! She will still be going every Saturday until the first week of Sept! I am hoping Papa will be home in time to catch the last class! Cross my fingers!


Here she is in the middle of 4 feet swimming!

These are the other kids in the class!

I just thought this pic was cute!

Princess Day at Chik-fil-a!

Yesterday Chick-fil-a hosted a princess day! Well really they had Cinderella and a table providing manicures for the little girls! It was so crowded I couldn't believe it. Kate loved it. Can you believe she was more scared of Cinderella then of the cow. HAHAHA! She blew my mind away with that. She would not take a pic with Cinderella. I had to bribe her with getting the nails done and then she would have to go get a pic. I finally got a picture. After that she wanted to go and say Hi to her every five minutes! Every Monday they host all kinds of events here. I like them because they are inside away from the friggin heat and they are just down the street from me!

Showing off her manicure!

Hair day today!

Kate and I went to the salon today for hair cuts. I actually went for a whole new look and I got it. Kate had her first haircut since her first buzz back in 05. She did really good. They only trimmed off about 2 inches! You can still tell the difference.

Here is the before pic! Her hair was really long!


Here is the during the hair cut!


Here is the after. Her pony tail was usually longer!

Here are some of my pics. right now my hair is really red because it was just done. It will look better in a few days! I still love it. And I love the fact that I had a pair of big ones to do it! LOL!
Here is a before pic!



Yes very funny pic of the during my drastic change!


Here is the after pics of my new hair do! Really red huh?




Oh yes and my hair feels so much lighter! I am glad because the heat here is starting to be horrible!
I will re post more pics in a few days after my red tones down a bit! Oh my hubby has no idea I did this. I want to surprise him when he gets off the plane! LOL!

Here is a pic of my mom! She permed her eyelashes today! Yes permed eyelashes. Her eyelashes were very droopy according to her. So she went to day and had it done. It is about a 1 hour process. The final result is her lashes look like she is wearing mascara all the time. She won't let me take an after pic. But I will try and steal one! LOL!

All eyes on TS Dolly!

Right now all over the news and freeway signs you see reminders of a tropical storm in the gulf. We are not going to get the direct impact but they are saying we will feel the outerbands and strong winds tomorrow and Thursday! They are predicting Dolly to develope into a Cat 1 Hurricane. They are also predicting landfall for south Texas/northern Mexico! I have family there. They are further inland but they to will feel the effects. They are asking for all of us near the coast to fill up gas tanks! I am going to. I am about an hour or less from Galveston! I am not taking any chances. I am not freaking out about it but you know how it goes. You seemed to get bleeped when you are unprepared. So we will just have to wait and see. I took some pics of how it is outside right now and a sign on the freeway asking us to fill up our gas tanks. Today is pretty windy. Actually really windy! I opened my car door and it flew wide open with me still hanging on to it. LOL! I am keeping a close eye on it tonight!




Today is a very beautiful day kinda of cloudy and windy! Hopefully it won't get to bad here. We need the rain but no power outages!

Busy Day!

Today was a busy busy day! I started off today buy taking Kate to swimming camp that lasted for an hour! We rushed home to shower and eat. I took Kate to gymnastics camp! After I dropped her off I was off to the Dr myself. By this time I am exhausted. I was at the Dr's for an hour. (very unpleasant of course). As if that wasn't enough she wanted blood from me. Great! Another half an hour taken away. Not to mention my trip to the pharmacy and target. OMG! Today was run around all day! I was able to come home and relax for about 40 minutes and then run run until about 6:30! And my day started at 8am! I have been busy but not like this. I am glad this day is over!
Kate's camp theme this week is magic week. They had a local magician come over and perform for the kids today. I managed to sneak some pics before it was over!

Bellobration!

I took Kate to the circus for the first time today! Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey The Greatest Show On Earth Presents Bellobration! It was an awesome show that lasted over 2 hours on top of the open house show. Kate loved it. This is one of the few moments where I think it's good to be on the mainland for this kinda of stuff! And then I snap back in to reality because I missed the weather in Hawaii while standing in line to get in. HAHA! It was friggin hot today! I took a few pics with my camera phone because my smart self forgot my camera at home! (damn)!

Here is Kate in her inflatable booster seat!

The nose came with the program book and she actually wanted to wear it! LOL!

I tried to get a pic of the elephants but it didn't come out as well! (Damn again)

Swim class!

Kate had her second swimming lesson today! It was awesome! Last week there was like 4 kids total in her class and only one teacher! Today it was just her with a different teacher but he was great!It was like her own private lesson!:) He got her to start floating on her own and letting her go to float up and swim more. She is doing great. She starts going to swim camp this and next week. I am so excited! I managed to sneak a pic with my camera phone through the glass window! It's not the best but at least I have one! LOL!

You can barely see her! LOL!
