Mommy-Daughter night, Daddy-Ben night.

 Mommy daughter night

Brooklynn was invited to the birthday party of one of her classmates,   a princess painting party and  We made a big deal of it,   She got in one of her new church dresses,  and we did her hair all special and she was SOOO excited.  

 and Since She and I were getting time away,  I suggested to Matt that he and Ben take advantage and do something together as well.  He quickly agree it was a great idea.      

  So apart we both hit the town.     Going our separate directions,    We had special bonding time with our little people.

  I got to meet most of Brooklynns class mates and parents alike,   which was really great since I have not been able to yet this year.     It was good to put a face to the names that I hear in stories Brooklynn shares about her day at school. 

  Matt and Ben spent the evening going to a coin show that just happened to be taking place  (Ben loves old coins) at our local mall that evening,   and then they went and had dinner together at a local restaurant that happens to be owned by one of Bens past wrestling coaches dad.   

  It was a really good evening for us all,      Sometimes you just have to stop life and spend time with the ones that mean the most.

First gymnastics class ever!

Image
 Brooklynn has been asking for YEARS to take gymnastics classes,   she loves doing flips,  cartwheels,  backbends and is actually really good at it all.  On her own she has amazing talent and friends and strangers alike are always shocked when they find out that she is self taught so far and has had zero classes.    She works Dailey on all the things gymnastics and never seems to tire of it.   *She might even be the reason that cartwheels are no longer allowed at school (hallways, classrooms, gym)  lolol   So, This years the only thing she asked for christmas was ....you guessed it,   gymnastics lessons.    And she was serious too.  She told everyone she talked to "for Christmas I want gymnastics!!!"   So grandparents and parents together made it happen.        We found her private classes and her first lesson was last night.   I've never seen her so exited and nervous...
