Parent-Teacher Conference & CMA's [Video Blog]

Today = 1. Work. 2. Yoga. 3. Parent-Teacher Conference. 4. CMA's.

The 1 & 2 of the day passed as they usually do; yoga in particular gave me a solid run for my money, but after full-wheel and my feet not going numb in Pigeon, I felt accomplished and ready to shower up for Syd's Parent-Teacher conference.

In a nutshell, Sydni is exactly what I thought she would be in a classroom and more. She's apparently one of her teacher's model students when it comes to being polite, helpful, friendly and forgiving. She's also smart, and while she talks a lot during class [her only less-than-perfect remark], she seems to do so while still absorbing everything that's being taught. Aside from what we gathered to be a typical pattern for a 5-year-old, she managed to make me one heck of a proud little mama. Way to go, boogie! ♥♥♥♥♥

Post-PT conference = CMA's. There was a lot going on, as usual, so I thought I'd just revisit some of my favorite moments [among the many]. Enjoy!

One of these years, despite how mainstream the CMA's are starting to become, I'm going to go. I'm certainly not fluent at high-profile events like that, but let's face it - it's the freakin' CMA's! ;) Congrats to all those big names on the awards they took home tonight. Keep on reminding us why we love our country! ♥

G'Nite, blogbots!

Keith Urban | Little Big Town | Dustin Lynch

It was a GOOD day for a concert! Well, maybe a little toasty outside, but a good day nonetheless!

I felt so bad for having the leave Rob at the house all day while I was working. At the end of it, I don't think he really minded though.. he seemed to have enjoyed the downtime, especially before we met up with the rest of the group for the concert at Riverbend.


light the fuse tour, stop 1: cincinnati!
little big town, dustin lynch, keith urban

Becky met up at my house around 6, and we loaded up to head down there. Kalyn & Co. met us at Riverbend, along with Brittany and her group.

Picture Time! :


beautiful sun. hot sun, but beautiful sun (:

my favorite goofy person. boyfriend. best friend. love him.

becky!!! so glad she was there.. can't even tell ya .. haha

cori. kalyn. kelsey. brittany | love these pretty gals!

well, i thought this was a random funny camo-spandex guy
until one of my other friends pointed him out.... apparently
his name is bobby. welp, thanks bobby! haha

blurry.. but yeah. love this guy.

keith. urban. yessss.

Fast forward to now... we dropped Becky off and headed to Frisch's because we were starving. We caught them just in time before their kitchens closed, scarfed down some food and took the rest home as leftovers. Now we're home, and ready to put a cap on the night.

 

Good. Stuff.

zZzzZz...

The Sun'll Come Ouuuuuut... On Tuesday!

It's been raining a lot here. The midwest has proven again to show its fickle side with fluctuating weather..... but mostly rain for the past couple of weeks. We've been fortunate to grab a few sunny hours here and there, but even so, everything off pavement around here just seems to be perpetually damp. Hopefully it'll hold off for the holiday, if nothing else.

Sydni and I made a quick stop next door when we got home, to see Trish and the kiddos. Syd and Gianna wasted no time becoming quick friends, and I have a feeling it's going to be a fun summer with the two of them as neighbors.

Oh, and of course, we colored...


my miniature artist! ♥

We were well into some pretty artwork when Becky and Mike showed up. Mike took the dare of being left alone with Sydni for a few minutes while Becky and I ran down to pick up some tickets for a little concert thing going on in a couple weeks....


... no big deal... hah, just kidding... i'm pumped!

Tickets in hand! I picked up two extras for Kalyn & Keifer, who will be joining us...  I'm stiiiill working on convincing Rob & Jesse to join us on their way back from FL; who knows if that will actually happen, but that would make it a perfect night. We'll see. Either way, it's gonna be an amazing time (: And, much to our relief, Mike survived the solo mission with Sydni and wasn't tied and bound in a closet when we returned. Haha.

I'm totally okay that this was about as much as there was to the day today. Tomorrow is the last full day of work we have to do this week [half day Friday is better than a full day, haha]; I'm just ready for an extra day and a half or so to veg out, spend time with Syd, and see some friends.
