Check out my Slide Show!

Summer Concert

I took the kids to see Aly & AJ, Corbin Bleu, and Drake Bell this summer at the Concord Pavilion. The boys were really excited to see Drake Bell because they love the Drake & Josh TV show. They enjoyed watching Corbin perform becuase he sings a lot of dance songs so he was all over the stage dancing. He was a lot of fun to watch. Aly & AJ were good too. This is the first teeny bopper concert I have ever gone to and oh my those screaming girls for Cobin & Drake were high loud! The kids had a great time & we had great seats! Enjoy the pictures.

My Next 30 Years

Well, last month I turned 30! So I thought for my big birthday I should get a new hair style and get rid of the long hair. So I decided to cut it shorter, put layers in, and get it thinned. Oh my goodness what a difference. It used to take me 20 minutes just to comb my hair out in the mornings because of all my hair! Now I get out of the shower, run my fingers through my hair, and go. It's great. I also decided to add the same amount of blonde but add darker brown to it so the blonde stands out more.

Isn't She Cute

I bought Kyle some new underwear as part of his new school clothes. Riley apparantly was a little jealous that Kyle got something and she didn't, so Kyle put on a new pair at bedtime and Riley didn't want to be left out. She said "on, on." She even grabbed the pair of underwear, sat down on Kyle's bed and tried to put it on. She put both legs in the same hole. So we decided to put it on, on top of her PJs. The next morning however, she didn't seem to know why she had these shorts on top of her PJs. Too cute!!!

Update on the Rossi Clan

Wow I can't believe how long it's been since I wrote last. Blame it on the summer. Wow I can't believe there is only 2 1/2 weeks left of summer. Where did it go? I'll start on our youngest and work my way up. Riley Jo- wow what a fun little girl. She is talking more and more every day. She will try and mimic almost everything you say. She loves to play with her toys and her siblings. It is so fun to watch her. Kyles favorite thing to do is race everywhere we go. A race to the front of the house is most common. So he will start the race and he always has to win, and he'll say "I win." Riley Jo will now run with us and even if she doesn't win she says "I win." Then a fight will break out between Kyle and Riley Jo to see who won. It's quite cute! Kyle is getting ready to start Kindergarten here in the next 2 1/2 weeks. He is very excited about his new school. He has started swimming all on his own this summer. The swim lessons that didn't seem to work last year seem to be paying off this year. Weird! Kyle turned 6 in July and for his birthday he got a Go-Cart. He loves to go out driving it whenever Chris can take him. Chris says he is doing great and may be racing by the end of the season. So I will keep you posted on that too. Tyler and Michayla are both excited to start the 6th grade. I think I am having a little anxiety about it though. Tyler has spent two weeks this summer in Pennsylvania and has enjoyed his time there. Michayla is enjoying her summer too. As for me, I will turn 30 in a couple of weeks. I finished a summer class at DVC, that was hard and will never take a summer class again. I wasn't prepared for all the homework and didn't think about when I would be able to do that homework with all the kids home all day long. Oh well, 4 classes left till I have my AA. Chris still is working hard to support our family. He is trying to play softball this season too, but sometimes work gets in the way.

Dream Come True!

So I wrote an earlier post about how my WONDERFUL husband found me floor seats to the Tim McGraw concert. Well last night I was albe to see how WONDERFUL he is. Our seats were 18th row but, we were front row center in our section right in front of the catwalk where they walk frequently. So needless to say I was able to see Tim McGraw up front and personal. Oh my gosh what an experience. And yes, I was able to touch his hand and Faith Hill's as well. Chris was right there next to me the whole time, touching their hands too. These are by far the best seats I have ever had and probably will ever have. The show was awesome, the music never stopped from beginning to end from 7:30 pm-12:00 am. The show was great too, Tim revealed last night that he turned 40 this year and that he may night be able to fit into his Wranglers much longer. He said that he had to hire 2 more people this year just to help him fit into his jeans. My brother teased me that when I got home I was going to go on Tim's website and try to apply to be one of those people to pull his jeans on. All in all this is now my favorite conert of all time!

Riley Jo turns 18 months

Well, actually this Thursday she will be 19 months but life's been a little crazy lately. So Riley Jo turned 18 months May 28. This is such a big deal to me because now church becomes inportant again. I've been walking the halls for all 3 hours for about 4 months now. Sometimes wondering why I was even there. But at least I was there. She started going to nursery and she does great! I drop her off she sees the other kids and forgets about me. I take off and go to Sunday School and Relief Society. When I pick her up after church she's happy and ready to go home. It's great. Now, only if we could make it through Sacrament meeting. One step at a time I guess. On May 30th we went for her 18 month check up. She was 31 1/2" long and weighed 18 lbs. 6 oz. Yeah, I got a little chewed out for the 18 lbs. This little girl eats everything. I think she must be going through a growth spurt. But she is totally healthy and developing normally. She is such a little talker now. She can say about 20 words. She's starting to repeat things too. She makes me laugh all the time. You'd wonder why I'm ever stressed out! Riley Jo's personality is totally coming out too. She is so stubborn and independent. She is starting to refuse to sit in the shopping cart when we go shopping. Which is completely opposite of my 5 year old Kyle. He still wants to sit in the cart. I guess that's the difference between boys and girls. Riley Jo is running all over the place now, she climbs on everything too. I keep telling Chris that Riley will be our first child to climb out of the crib. She just wants to be with the big kids all the time and doing whatever they are doing. Except when she needs her mommy fix. Which I don't mind.
