The BIG surprise...

Well here it is the day of the big surprise!!! We had a busy day to start off, Mia had school then I checked her out early to go do some product shots for a friend of mine, she has an adorable company with hats and flowers etc. just adorable things and she asked both my girls to model for her website. So after she was done we waited for Hugo to get home from work and we all jumped in the car. She knew she was getting a surprise that day and we told her we had to drive to Salt Lake to pick it up. Luckily she fell asleep so we were able to get a plan of attack ready without her knowing what was going on. We parked at the Gateway and woke up the girls. We started walking and I kept bugging her what she thought it was and she told me she thought we got her a car! Ha ha in your dreams Mia your only 7 remember!

She kept seeing all these girls with posters and things but she didn't figure out where we were going till we walked up to the big posters of Miley and I told her! She had asked me a few weeks back if we could go to the concert and I told her we didn't have enough money, ha ha I already had the tickets! She was so funny she kept acting like she was going to pass out cause she was so excited! Since it was a paperless entry and I used Hugo's credit card to buy the tickets he had to take us up to the door for us to even get in! Really kinda stupid but I guess it helps try to keep scalpers away! As soon as we were through the doors she had her $100 spent! She bought a t-shirt, program, necklace, key chain, and a massive ice cream!

We had soooooo much fun dancing and singing to all the songs. It was kinda funny cause there were so many people there screaming "Hannah" and it made Mia so mad. She kept saying "Mom, don't they know this is a Miley concert, Not Hannah Montana"!

We had a great night and she told me after it was the best birthday ever!!!

Miley's brother was the opener and Mia was not so thrilled! We only knew one of his songs and the other ones we couldn't understand, she was so happy when he was done!

Here she comes!!!!

Sadly she was sick with the flu and after this song we heard she threw up on the side of the stage and then she took a break. We felt so bad but after a few minutes she came back out and finished the rest of the concert and she was amazing! I have a new respect for her I can't imagine having to sing and dance around a stage for two hours with the flu!!!

Hoedown Throwdown!!!

My favorite part was taking pictures of the whole thing! I think I ended up with around 500+!!!

Birthday...

Today was Mia's actual birthday. I made french toast for breakfast, one of her favorites and since we didn't get a big cake this year I stuck her candle in her toast to blow out! We just sat around a played all day until Hugo got home from work and she opened her presents which were a few outfits because her big present was not going to be ready for a couple more days!

Later that night she chose TGI Fridays for dinner which is an all around family fave. We love that place. I forgot my camera but we had a great time with family and of course she got more gifts! She even got a $100 bill from her grandma Lourdes which came in handy when we gave her her big surprise!

We are lucky to have a great family that cares so much about our girls and are super supportive I don't think holidays and birthdays would be the same without them!

Well I will have one more post for her birthday when we revealed her surprise!

Happy Birthday Mia!!!! We love you!

Mia's birthday party...

My baby is turning 7!!!!!!!! I can't believe how fast time goes it seriously feels like I just brought her home from the hospital and now she is 7!!!!

Well for her party this year we did something a little low key since we had a big surprise waiting for her (later post), we usually have these massive parties that take me at least a month to plan and a hundred invitations to send out but this year I did things a little different.

She picked a few of her friends and cousins and we all went to "Color Me Mine". It was our first time there and I have to say I loved it! I am dying to go back and paint some things for myself! Each girl got to pick out something to paint and their paint colors and they went to town. After they were done our party host took them to have them fired and we went back a few days later to pick them up. It was so fun to see their final products because the paint they use is very dull until they fire them and then the colors really pop out!

Mia and I spent a couple days making them some necklaces with their initial on them and some little goodie bags. Mia asked my mom to make some cupcakes, she picked out some Jonas plates and cups at the store and I surprised her with the Jonas Brothers DVD for them to all watch while they painted.

It was such a great day and such an easy party. Mia got some great stuff, we couldn't ask for better friends and family!

Can't wait to see what she wants for next year!!! Goodie bags and necklaces.

Grandmas yummy cupcakes!

Every present she would pull the weirdest face! I can't wait till she is older and I can use all the pictures to embarrass her!!!

Sleepover...

Tonight Grandma and Grandpa or as Eva calls them "Super bama and bampa" came over for dinner and to watch the girls ride bikes. We had so much fun just hanging out with them, eating and talking.
After dinner Mia's friend Summer came over for a sleepover! They had so much fun playing baseball, making smores and watching the Hannah Montana movie. Well I don't know how much they watched they pretty much just copied the entire movie! They stayed up really late and giggled all night! Gosh I wish I were young again, but at least now I get to watch and listen to them! Here are a few pic's from the night.

Eva's first day of Pre-school...

Can you believe my baby girl is going to Pre-school!!!! It is so overwhelming with them both going to school even though Eva is only there from 9-11:15, 3 days a week it still feels so lonely. I am excited for once it sets in and I will finally have some time to do things for myself without begging someone to babysit!

She was so excited that yesterday when we took Mia she was upset that she was not going to school so this morning when I woke her up to get her ready she could not stand it she was ecstatic! She is already getting the hang of writing her name, I only showed her once but she is getting really good at it. She is such a little ball of energy sometimes I forget just how smart she is. I know she is going to have a fantastic year, and she too loves her teacher Miss. Misti.

Eva you are growing up way too fast, I love to see you and Mia bonding and you following her around. You are definitely a mommy's girl and I love it I can't get enough. I am going to miss you while you are at school but I am so excited for you to learn and make new friends! Mommy loves you Goofy!!!

"Look what I did mommy!"

Oh yes and the whole way home she kept telling me that she left her band aid at Miss. Misti's so she needed to go back. I told her we would get a new one at home, she thought I would turn around so she could go back and I had to explain that she would be back on Monday! She is too funny.

Mia's first day of school...

Wow today was a big day! Mia switched schools this year to one much closer to home. She was really excited when I told her she didn't have to wear a uniform anymore so we spent like an hour last night deciding what she wanted to wear for her first day! We planned everything out down to the color of her nails. I think she looked adorable!

I can't believe she is in first grade, her teacher this year is Mr. Hunt and she loves him already. He is very sweet with the kids which is what she needs since she is so tender hearted.

It will be hard adjusting back to being on a schedule and with dance starting again on Monday after a two week break we are going to be going non-stop. Mia I hope you know that I love you with all my heart and I love watching you grow into this amazing little person. Hope you have a fabulous year at school!


Mia and Summer, these two are so funny together!

Getting her nametag

Bye my sweet Mia we will see you at 3:30!
