Do you have those in my size ;)

So are you wondering what these are? No they are not barbies underwear nor are they for a cabbage patch doll. This is what I learned I needed to buy for R.
Here are the backs.



So you are probably asking yourself what the crap is M buying for her little girl. Well here is the full picture.



These lovely things are called foot undies for R's new jazz dance class. Yes I finally got her signed up for dance. She has been pleading and asking every couple of weeks when she will get to sign up. I have put it off for about 2 years because of work and so on.
Well I have had a really crappy month or so at work and have been working very long hours and have been pretty stressed. I have done a lot of thinking and have really dug deep to find out what I have been doing the last couple of years. I found that I have been putting so much on hold well not even on hold but have let them pass as I worked 12-14 hour days. It is time that I take care of my family and myself. I felt that getting off on time so pretty much at 5pm was a first step which I have been doing for a week now. It feels so good to leave work when it is light. Then I decided that my beautiful little angel needed to be able to enjoy her childhood. I remembered how much I loved taking dance and I wanted R to experience this. I know you are asking about the other 2 amazing people in my small family. Well J is loving his wife home before dark even though I still do not cook and C will start soccer soon which is what he picked to be his fun thing to do. My next step of doing something for me is to go on my trip. I really need to be with my parents. I have really been struggling without seeing them everyday and it really has hit me hard lately. I also am really excited to go see my sister and her family in D. I get to pet giraffe's hopefully. Thanks again to my amazing husband who bought me my tickets to go and is willing to let me go for 13 days without him or the kiddo's. I am so excited can you tell!!!??? Well more to come.

I love this man!

This is one of my most favorite pictures. We took this with my phone camera and I just love it. Seriously I love him! Jealous ladies!

Snowboarding Fun!

I have always been afraid of snowboarding. I have known so many people who were hurt when snowboarding ranging from a broken ankle to a broken back. So when I got married to a man who loves snowboarding I had to promise I would try it out. Well it took about 8 years for me to actually try and I did a couple of times but I hit my head so hard I was so afraid to try again.

Well my husband and a few friends said we should go. So here are the pictures from our fun time. It was hard but I will try again and again until I get better :) It is a lot of fun! Really it is...

30 Really?

So I am 30.... I really am not sad nor do I feel like an old lady. I have friends who cried when they turned 30. I feel that I am young and I am fun. I didn't even really think about turning 30. I guess age really hasn't mattered to me much. I think you are the age you feel and if I feel I am 20 then that is what I am but who is to say that the way I feel is a specific age. Why is age so important to people and why is it that so many people get so upset about getting older. I can understand when it comes to dating and boyfriends and kids.. You need to be old enough to handle the situations but really feeling that you are having a mid life crisis because you are turning 30. Really?

So yes I am 30 and yes I feel that I can still wear my high heels with my skinny jeans(which really aren't so skinny) and I can sing in my car like I use to when I was 16. So take a moment to enjoy your life not the age but the feeling. Today I feel happy!

Oh and I received the most awesome gifts. My daughter got me a necklace that says Mother Daughter Friends Forever that she picked out when J took them to get my gift. My son bought me some wine glasses because he knew I had broke most of them.. He hates that I drink wine but I have taught him that he can have beliefs and others may not feel the same. That you love a person for who they are not just by what they believe. I am lucky because I have a family that feels the same way.. If they didn't then they would not be so awesome to me :) I received some nice birthday cards and one of my most favorite gifts is from my amazing husband. Not only did he take me to sushi which he doesn't really like he also bought me plane tickets to Seattle and Dallas, just for me. I get to hangout with my mom and dad for a few days and then my mom and I get to travel to Dallas to visit my sis and her family. I am so excited and with the work months I have had I so needed this trip... So that is about it. That is all that happened to me as I was turning 30. Really.. Lara you love it I know you do.. REALLY! Thanks for that because I now say that all the time.
