Kyler's Field Day

Kyler had his field day today at his elementary school, and he was so cute running around and jumping in the bouncy house. My sister Stacey is a 4th grade teacher at his school, so we spent a little bit of time with her and her kids. At the end of the day we had the best cupcakes ever! I must find out where they were bought at.

Kyler's Pre-K Graduation

Today is the day children wait their whole lives for....well ok not all of them, most could care less. But today is a milestone in my nephew, Kyler's, life....it's his Pre-K graduation. Congrats Kye, so proud of you little buddy!

Mandy, Kyler (pouty face! I'm sure it was because my sister wouldn't let him have his umpteen piece of cake) and Ethan (trying to escape so he can go grab another slice of cake)

Nate and I got in a silly string fight.......I lost. But not to worry!....I kept the camera safe and I will make sure lots of pictures are taken.

Kye and Ethan are given water guns and they chose to play in the ice...kids these days!

Mother's Day '09

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

Today was a day about spending quality time with the woman who has raised and put up with all of us heathens.

We made her brunch and dinner, and just hung out and played games.

We are going to Costa Rica in a few months so we bought my mom the perfect beach shirt!

RENT Musical

My mom surprised my sister, Stacey, and I with Broadway tickets to see RENT at the Dallas Music Hall. Before the show we went to NorthPark Mall to eat at La Duni. La Duni is an awesome Latin restaurant that is a must try! If you can't make it to the NorthPark location, not to worry, they have an Oak Law and McKinney Ave location as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mimosas for brunch are a must when out with the girls :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was my first Broadway show to go to and it was INCREDIBLE! I sang the entire time. I almost felt bad for the people around me but hey, thats what musicals are for, right?! And I just so happened to know all the words to all the songs because I have the movie and watch it ALL the time!

For those of you who haven't heard of RENT. It is considered a "Rock Musical" and tells the story of a group of impoverished young artisits and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York City's Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stacey couldn't see so she bought these fabulous theater glasses...doesn't she look HOT?! ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you know that RENT was first seen in a limited three-week workshop production in New York Theatre Workshop in 1994 and that this show won a Pulitzer Prize, and the production was a hit?!
