~TAYLOR SWIFT~

I need to say that I was a SUPER COOL MOM (for once) and took Syd and Kels to see Taylor Swift. The front row tickets I bought cost way too much and it was on a school night, but I didn't care. They love her and know all of her songs, and so we went! Let me tell you it was totally worth every penny. She is great to her fans, and the girls had the time of their lives!!! We were so close they could almost touch Taylor when she came out!! They are still talking about it. I will say that sometimes you can't put a price on special memories!!!

Kaleb

Brian has a friend at work that had his first professional fight last week. He asked us to come watch the fight so we did (not many of you know I have a terrible OBSESSION with MMA fights, and Brian and I watch UFC fight night all the time) So as Kaleb comes out I start sweating bullets and praying he doesn't get put in the hospital, I take out the camera to start taking pics of what I think will be his one and only fight. No sooner do I snap the first photo and the fight is over. Kaleb knocked the guy out. 90 seconds into the first round and it is over!! Way to go Kaleb!! We are so proud of you. Apparently I should have been praying for the other guy as Kaleb didn't need it!!

What do you do with a Teenager???

I can't believe that our Haley is a teenager!! Where did the time go? When I met Brian, Haley was 7 and still playing with Barbies, now all she wants to do is SHOP!! She is a great example to the kids, always mellow, responsible, and trustworthy (I sure hope Kels is paying attention to how EASY Haley has been to raise). I think it is so funny to watch Brian as he see's the girls growing up, it is not easy for him to watch Haley turn from his baby into a big girl, pratically a woman!! Happy Birthday Haley. Thanks for being just the way you are!!!
