A Few Busy Weekends

We have had some busy weekends in January but I have not felt like blogging so I will try to sum up the month in one quick post. One weekend we went on a Friday night to see Lion King on Broadway. We went with Eric's parents, me, Eric, Olivia and Eric's sister Brittany. Lion King was fabulous!!! Olivia loved it and I'm so glad Eric's parents got tickets for us. We need to see more Broadways! So, Eric's sister Brittany lives in Dallas but came in town to spend a week visiting and brought her daughter Lexi along :). Lexi and London are only a couple of months apart but they are not sure they like each other. We had fun spending time with Brittany but Lexi and London were not wanting to share toys or get too close to one another. It was a lot of screaming and it was a little funny :). So, on Saturday of that weekend Eric and I took Livy, London and Livy's friend Morgan to the zoo. It was in the mid 70's and it was an absolutely gorgeous day! I think just about every animal was out and walking around - it was one of the best days I've had at a zoo. We went to Port of Subs just before we got to the zoo and had some lunch then while we were at the zoo we snacked on kettle korn and sno-cones. We all ended up with colored lips and mouths after the sno-cones and we enjoyed every bite. While at the zoo we also went to the sting ray bay which the girls loved.

So, the next weekend we got the Snell & Wilmer suite and went to High School Musical on Ice. We took a few of Livy's friends and their parents and afterwards we went out for pizza. The girls had a great time and it wasn't a bad show. Watching the girls sing to all the songs and watching London trying to copy everything the older girls did was far more entertaining for me than the show. After that show we had to rush off to a dance practice for Livy because she is getting ready to perform at a Suns game which will be really fun. We then went up to Eric's parents to spend time again with Brittany before she left and we had a very interesting experience. Eric's parents patio has a view of a few other patios. While we were out on the patio feeding the girls mac and cheese we noticed three men out on their patio swimming and hanging out - completely NUDE! What the ? It was very interesting and more than I ever want to see again. Gross. So we have had a lot of fun things going on lately but I am looking forward to a weekend with nothing to do - except watch the Superbowl!!! We are so excited the Arizona Cardinals are going to the Superbowl. Eric and Livy went out and bought shirts to wear for the Cardinals. They are so funny.

The picture of London in her red and black Sunday outfit was taken by Livy on a Sunday morning while Eric and I were trying to get ready. She just looks mischievous doesn't she? She is. Livy and London are two partners in crime and they are pretty dang funny. London has been doing and saying the funniest things lately. Today I layed back down for a little while after I got Livy off to school and got London settled with a snack and toys and watching Go Diego Go. London has a little kitchen she got for her birthday and she LOVES it! Also, there was a big box of Dr. Pepper cans sitting in the kitchen that I had not put in the fridge yet. (yes people, Dr. Pepper is tasting fabulous again - we are back thank heavens!!!) So I got up from my nap and London had opened the box of Dr. Peppers and had stock piled her kitchen. She had put as many cans as she could fit in her kitchen sink, counter and shelves. It was hilarious. She calls any soda pepper and asks for "a pepper" all the time. Before I went to nap she had asked for a pepper and I had said no but maybe later. I guess she wanted to make sure she had some in case I didn't give her any.

Okay, I think I have gone on long enough - hopefully I will get back into blogging so that it's not another three weeks in between blogs. By the way I think we have decided on Savannah for the name. What do you think? We would call her Savvy (because I shorten everything). Any ideas for a middle name?
