Sadies With Baddie Owen!

Sadies!!! Penny's first Sadies and of course she took her Baddie Owen! They've got this leopard thing between the 2 of them! lol When they first met both were wearing leopard! lol So it was fitting she got them matching leopard hoodies for Sadies! They matched head to toe! Down to the same Nike socks and same color Birkenstock sandals! lol A man that can pull off leopard confidently is the perfect man for this Penny of mine and fits right in with our leopard loving family! lol Look how freakn adorable they look together! Their smiles say it all! 
Frist stop Bowling! Their Sadies group was so fun!!! This was her Arbor Sadies friend group! They had a blast bowling! I loved being the driver! I drove them around to all the things all day! It was the best! It truly is my highlight! I love being a part of Penny's life! As long as she is wanting her mama around I'm going to keep on coming along! lol I have a blast with her friends! The teens make me smile! Love their chatter! Love their music we jam out too! and they love me... Mama Em! So I'm going to keep rolling with it! lol Bowling was a blast! I hung around and took the pics! lol
We hit up the parking garage for the pics! I think they turned out super cool! Such a fun group of teens! 
More of these two cuties! So adorable and just perfect! The camera loves these 2! lol They were such good sports with all my poses and picture taking! lol
The girls!!! Just pics with the girls!!! Then the boys! lol Could not get a single pic of the boys holding still and even all of them looking at me! hahaha! Boys will be boys! Crazy boys! But they are so fun! 
The last couple of poses! The emo one with their hoods up is too funny! haha!
Dinner time! Grape Street at DTS! Thanks to Hannah's parents they got them into dinner at their restaurant! Gave them a killer deal and got to eat delicious food! I dropped them off here.. shopped DTS and met up with my family while they ate! At the restaurant you can write on the table cloths! They had a blast drawing pics! 
To end the night i brought them back to my house! They played pickleball, jumped on the tramp, and hung by the fire at bestie Decker's! I also set up a hot cocoa bar and smore's bar for them too! They sure enjoyed roasting up some smore's and drinking the hot cocoa! The Summerlin boys came to the after party and that was so much fun for Baddie Owen and Penny! So the gang got bigger! hahaha To  chill while they waited for the parents to pick them up they watched a movie! Penny had the best day! She loved her very first Sadies and Baddie Owen made it all the best by being her other half! 1st Sadies done and in the books! Now that's a wrap! 





 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! The day of love! It's such a great day! My kids woke up to Valentine surprises! Even Ruby got a Valentine's surprise! lol Then it was off to school! It was free dress day for the kids! So Cash was decked out head to toe in his Pink! Piper wore tiny red hearts from head to toe! We were loving today!
Valentine's at school is the absolute best! So much love at the school! All my students showed me so much love! All the surprises and goodies! Oh my!  I felt the love and it was the best! I love my job! So much fun to pop into all the valentine parties through out the day! 
Each of my kids had a Valentine this year!! The cutest little Gio asked Piper to be his Valentine! So dang cute! He made her 2 bracelets! She hasn't stopped wearing them! :) Piper had such a fun day! 
My Cashy with his 3 bestie valentine's! This little quad of besties is the best! They have the best time together! He got his girls matching bracelets to his and bow earrings! The girls loved it! In return they made and wrote him the sweetest card and gave him his favorite candy and a card game!! He was feeling all the love!
My Penny with her special Valentine! What we are learning about Baddie Owen is that he is good listener! He is very thoughtful and 100% spoiled her! He is absolutely perfect for my Penny right now in her life! From her favorite flowers Tulips mixed red roses... to flower Lego (her favorite kind of Legos to build)... to a heart locket necklace with a picture of them from when they first met... to heart shaped reeses... to a cute little face mask... toped off with a hand made card written with the most thoughtful and sweetest words! Fun fact- She told him her favorite movie was the Notebook and jokingly told him that he needed to write her a letter everyday that they have known each other like the movie! So in his card to her he gave her "57 letters." Since that is how many days she has been in his life! The "57 letters" were individual letters that she had to unscramble and figure out the message! How cute rt!!! Well it took her a few tries but she got it rt! The fun message is posted in the pic above! These 2 are definitely adorable and so happy together! Baddie Owen planned the Valentine's with his buddies and they took their girls out to a movie, dinner and hangout back at Baddie Owen's house! Penny had the best night ever! 
 
I'm in love! I'm in love and I don't care who knows it was definitely our moto for this Valentine's! I got to spend the night with the love of my life at dinner! We went with our bestie Decke'rs to the Ranch House! They are our go to besties that are always don for a good time! We love our date nights with them! While were at dinner we had a Heart shaped pizza delivered to our house for our littles! They loved it! It was an incredible day of love for all! So much love! Love is in the air! lol Happy Valentine's Day!
