We are still in October wk 4 fun! hahaha I really don't know how we can do so much in one wk! hahaha but we do and we managed to squeeze in a concert Friday Night and Penny went to a concert Saturday night! Yayyyy! If you know me you know I love concerts! It is my high! and all 3 of my kids  have my concert loving high! So when your bestie tells you Friday morning she wanted to  take her son which is Cashy's best friend to Weezer you immediately start looking for 4 tickets seated together! haha The concert was that night she called in the morning! hahaha Found them! We got them for a steal too! I can never pass up a good time and especially when its a good deal and going with your besties! Wahoo! 

Got all dressed up  and hit the town! Cash and Adler were so hyped! Cash couldn't wait! He loves the 90's bands that are coming back! and I love all the 90's bands!! The opener was Silver Sun Pick Ups! Holy moly that's one of my most favorite rock bands! They were incredible! Loved seeing them live!  Then the Shins! We picked up some merch and got back to our seats! Weezer up next! Loved that the boys got matching merch! They have the best time together! Love it!

Amazing!!! We did not stop Singing! Dancing! Screaming! Hit after hit after hit! We were so hyped! We had an absolute blast! Best night ever with my bestie and our boys! I loved our spontaneous adventure together!

Penny headed out Saturday night to a concert! The 3 of us had our weekend booked up with concert time! haha Penny's bestie Addie had an extra ticket to Tucker Wetmore! and was so excited to invite Penny to go! Of course Penny was going! She loves concerts like her mama and loves country music!! They ate dinner first with a few of their friends then walked over to the concert! Their concert was at the Virgin Hotel! So smaller venue which means every seat in the house is a amazing! Penny had an absolute blast! Love her cute western outfit too! She has the cutest style always! Thank you Addie for inviting my girl out! They had the best time! "Brunette" is Penny's new theme song! haha She just needs to find a boy to sing it to her! hahaha

Now that's  a wrap for October wk 4 fun! We had a jammed packed week of all the things! Just over here living our best life! :)

 

Piper's Nevada Citizenship!

Next up for this wk! and yes we are still in October wk 4 weekly recap! Piper had her Nevada Citizenship project due and awards assembly! So much planning and prepping for her big project that it needed it's own post! So here she is!!! Piper has been working all month on planning out her project! From drawing and designing to ordering the items she needed! Part of the Nevada Citizen award she had to complete a Nevada project that represented Nevada! State symbols! Counties! Facts ect! She designed and created a high fashion denim coat!! With embroidery! Patches! and Sparkle! She had this coat packed full with several state symbols! Representing Nevada at it's finest! 

The jacket we bought! She designed the patches and we got them ordered! She met with her daddy to design the embroidery section! The full back was embroidered with the Nevada Counties! Once all her custom patches arrived she began to design her layout of her jacket! Once all mapped out she began the heat press process where she pressed the heavy machine down on the coat and the patches sealed them together! The high heat makes the patch stick! Her custom coat consisted of these patches: the state seal, state flag, Las Vegas, Hover Dam, state bird, state flower, and embroidery of the state counties! She also represented the state precious gem stones- black fire opal and turquoise with sparkled stars! The NEVADA across the top back was outlined in gold to represent the gold rush! I'm telling you she thought of every detail to add to her coat! Wow it was coming together! 

She wanted to hand out a surprise to her teacher and the other 4th grade teacher so she came up with the idea to make 3D printed earrings in the shape of Nevada! So fun! She even made the colors our school colors too! Love it! Cashy  got her all set up and ready to print from his 3D printer! Boom! Out they printed! She then hooked the earing part to the 3D printed Nevada and bagged them up! That was fun! She loved making the earrings! Fun craft and so creative! Great job Piper! 

Ta-Da!!! Just look at this finished coat! Wow! So professional! Incredible job Pipes! She got dressed up in her cute western wear and was ready to get to school to show off her new jacket! Her completed Nevada project! So proud of her! It really turned out so good! I love it so much I want a matching one! 

Upon arrival we surprised the entire 4th grade team with Cashy's Nevada project! His custom Nevada Tee he designed when he was in 4th grade! and the Nevada earrings Piper made! Her teacher was so excited and so was the entire 4th grade team! yayyy! We snapped a pic to show Cashy! He was so proud to see his shirt still being worn all these years later! Piper had the best day! So much fun celebrating Nevada with all her friends in 4th grade! They evan had a Hoe-Dow lunch! Look how great Piper's coat looked on display! Do you spot the blanket underneath?! That was Penny's Nevada project she did 7yrs ago! She made a blanket! We used as a backdrop! Love it! Love that all 3 of my kids projects were used! So awesome!

Piper's coat was the talk of the town amongst the staff and the parents! Love that for her! She was so proud of it! Next up was the Nevada Citizenship  Awards assembly! They sang the Nevada state song! Piper was given her award and metal! Yayyyy! She has worked so hard! Studying for 4 different tests and planning her big project! She passed with flying colors and was awarded her metal! Daddy and I are so proud of our baby girl! and as you can see she was extremely proud of herself! Love her for that! It was a packed full day of fun and success! Way to go Piper! She is loving her 4th grade year so much and is having a great 4th grade year thus far!

Bre and I were the drivers and we had an absolute  blast with these teens!  So fun to have Cashy and all his friends hang out! Such a fun group! They even did all the haunted stuff! Completely scared but had an absolute blast!

She still will not go into the haunted corn maze! lol She stands in line with her friends and as soon as their groups goes down to the corn maze she stays up top and and hangs with me! hahaha! The haunted thing she does do is the scary hay ride! In the past its just been robots and not scary! Well they stepped up their game this year and the characters in masks and chainsaws come onto the hay ride! Omg Penny was so scared she fell off the back of the bench with her legs in the air and curled as tight as she could in a ball! Didn't open her eyes for one sec and kept her hands over her ears! haha Her friends told her the chainsaw and mask guys were inches from her face! She was terrified! haha Poor thing! Looks like she wont be doing that next year!
