CATCH UP THURSDAY!!!

Well it says something about life when you run out of time to blog!! HAHA What is this world coming to!!! Just kidding. It has been a busy first 3 weeks of third grade though! I am lucky to leave work by 5:30 *(When i should be leaving at 4) and on top of that my crazy intense Master's class!! Seriously who wants to write a 35 page paper for me!?!? Anyone? ANYONE? But I have resorted to posting yet again a slide show of pictures, so at least those who have fast enough internet can catch up on what i have been up to! There are pictures of Thanksgiving point, and swimming, the zoo... and who knows what else =) I have some funny school pictures too, but i wont post them here obviously! BUT Can you believe all of the babies at the zoo!? Britt got a family pass to the zoo and i paid to join them on it, so we have been there a few times this summer! I can't believe all the cute babies! I personally am ecstatic about the tiger babies!!! I love tigers! Ade is excited about the elephant baby! We went to vote on her name, and one of the options is AISHA, which is much like ALISHA, and Ade knows how to spell my name, so she proceeded to say, "LOOK!! they want to name the baby elephant ALISHA! lets vote for that one!" I had to explain they were NOT naming the elephant after me... flattering as it would be. YIKES!

I can't believe how times flies! Today was my niece Ade's FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN!!! Can you believe it! Those of you who know me know i love her like crazy so it was a big day for me too!! She loved it and apparently did great! And no tears from her or her parents.... GOSH i guess that leaves me to cry!!! She is all grown up and going to school!!! I love it! SO i am adding a pic of her just before leaving for school! She is so cute! (** I stole the pic from Britt)

Also this last week Daija was in town and the girls and I got together for dinner! This was the first time we have ever brought the guys. It was a blast! Full of catching up, funny moments, like the bench breaking! And yard games, it was a pretty intense gave of boys against girls Bocce! I love those girls it was SO fun to get together again! Some of them i have known sense ELEMENTARY school!!! Yikes! We are getting old!!
