Shanti's Birthday Celebration...



Last night eight of us got together to celebrate Shanti's upcoming birthday. After many emails, texts, and chats we finally decided we would go to PF Changs and then to The Big Bang Piano Bar. We had a delicious dinner with great conversation and many laughs and then we headed over to the Piano Bar. It has been a while since I have been there, but it is always a fun night. Shanti has never been there, so I was excited to see what she thought and she LOVED it!

We got to the Piano Bar at a perfect time and scored a table right up front. The drinks got ordered and the music was playing and before long we had Shanti up on the stage as the honoree of the night. She was very hesitant to get up there, then she let loose and had a great time. As you can see below I got a few good photos of many of the girls enjoying the music. Renae and I even got a New Jersey moment as they rocked out Bon Jovi... Before we knew it, it was time to wrap up the evening and head home.

Happy Birthday Shanti! I am so glad we got to celebrate your birthday together again this year. Hugs... 

 

It's Pizza Time...

Last month we had J-Crew at the McChesney's and it was such a fun night. Our monthly get togethers are sometimes very simple and other times we get creative and have theme nights. This time we had a "pizza theme" and it was awesome!Jeannine and Cameron had all the fixings and we each got to make our own pizza. The night was filled with fun, laughter and a few great rounds of poker that Marla up for....

February & March... Where have you gone????

I think to date this will be my longest in between posts. The last few months I have been working extra hours at the bank and Mikey has been picking up my slack at home. I have to say, he already is pretty terrific around the house, so when I say he is doing even more, that really says a lot for him. Especially since my amazing husband still works nights and manages to take care of  J & J on mornings that I have to be at work early. We are trying very hard for Mikey to get a new job and get him back to some normal hours.

I can't believe we are down to the last eight weeks of the school year. We just had Spring Break here in AZ, it falls out very early, and is always in the month of March. Mike and I were both on vacation and enjoyed a staycation with the boys. Sometimes it is nice to just relax and get organized. I actually did a few very overdue projects in the house and went back to work feeling like I accomplished a few things.

I'm getting ready to register J & J for summer camp and last week I registered my baby for Kindergarten. Ugh! It can't be happening, can it be??? I think Jordy will do great and one thing I know for sure is that he is very excited to go on the school bus with his Jayden.

I will get some pictures up here soon with what we have been up to lately.
