Sydney was in charge of Peyton while he stayed with us and Olivia was in charge of watering trees and plants at some of Poppy's clients' houses!<br />
<br />
Both girls did such an AMAZING job with their duties. Sydney was SO sweet with Peyton...she fed him, loved him, and even slept with him the entire time e was here. Olivia took her job seriously and had her clipboard and checklist each time we went out!<br />

Sydney turning FIVE was a BIG deal! She got to have her very first true birthday party with a full on theme and more than just neighborhood friends coming over to swim. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She really wanted a Shimmer and Shine birthday party at her dance studio. I really didn't want to do a character party, but when it was all said and done, I'm SO glad we went with exactly what she wanted!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had seen some belly dance outfits online and thought they would be perfect for her party, so that was our kicking off point! With the help of my friend, Sheri, and a million and one trips to Hobby Lobby, we made her party one for the books!</div>

➹ Seriously, I have to give such a huge shout out to my friend Sheri and her husband Dave. She designed the Shimmer and Shine palace and then had it printed on foam board along with the girls, their pets, and the vases. After it was printed, Dave took it to the Tech Shop and cut the girls out. She and I spent one night attaching all of the jewels to them. They turned out so cute! ➹</div>

We had a fun few days celebrating this special girl! Her birthday fell on a Thursday this year, so she was able to celebrate with cinnamon rolls for breakfast, a cake pop at school, ice cream with Poppy, and cookies with her dance class! And, then there was that ice cream cake with the family on Friday, and her birthday cake at her party on Saturday! Whoooo, veggies the rest of the year! ;) <span id="goog_1442009735"></span><br />

➹ We celebrated Brooklyn's 6th birthday at Skateland! I was SO proud of both of these girls. It is not easy learning to skate and these girls were so tough. At one point, I was helping Zach because he didn't have a little roller to help him, and so Sydney went on by herself. When I asked her if she wanted help, she said, "I'm not a baby, and I'm going to PROVE it!" She didn't take any help the whole time! We celebrated with a trip to Sweetie's! ➹</div>

Knowing how fast these days and years go, I am trying to take advantage of these days of just the two of us and do something special together. So far, we have gone to the IDEA Museum, the Lego Discovery Center with Ty, a shopping and pedicure date with Mommy and Daddy, and JumpStreet trampoline park with Ty and Jake. We've also signed up for a gymnastics class every Friday morning and she absolutely LOVES it!<br />

It's definitely hard going back to school in July, but I LOVE having 2 1/2 weeks off come October!<br />

And, I just love this picture.... Everyone in Olivia's class has a job, and they all get paid for their jobs. The classroom has a little store where they can buy candy or little toys. For the most part, Olivia saves her money, and when she does spend it, she spends it on coupons for things like sitting in the comfy chair or reading to her kindergarten teacher's class. :) </div>

Her first official day of school was the very next day. Sydney is lucky to have Mrs. Lisa, who was Olivia's Pre-K teacher as well. She is a really sweet teacher who works very hard to teach these little 4 and 5 year olds some independence. Sydney is doing awesome in the class and I'm so proud of how hard she works at school! <br />

And, at this point, has already completed three weeks of her second grade school year. It blows my mind {and breaks my heart} how quickly these kiddos grow up.<br />
<br />
I absolutely LOVE Olivia's teacher this year, and I'm so thankful she has some <i>very</i> familiar faces in her classroom with her good buddies Riley and Nate. She is learning so much, and I love seeing how far she is coming along with her reading, writing and math. <br />
<br />
I'm proud of myself, also, because I have managed to print out the background poster for her 3 years in a row so we can have some consistency with First Day of School pictures! :) <br />

I think that show sparked my love for seeing that band live, because in that 20 years, I've been to 70 shows! (I have an app where I log in each of my shows that I've been to and it keeps track of all the songs I've heard, special guests, venues, etc! It's awesome!)<br />
<br />

A few of my stats: 70 shows, 174 different songs, 31 tours, 11 different states, and while I'm sure most people will think I've spent a ridiculous amount of time and money on shows, to me it is priceless! <br />
<br />
This year, I knew I had to get back to Deer Creek to celebrate my 20th anniversary! I'm so glad Brad and Clark could join us for a hot and humid weekend in Indiana. <br />

And, I realized that I never blogged about going back to Indiana a few months earlier for a girls weekend with my friend, Tara! She was my first real Dave touring buddy and it was so nice to be able to see a show with her again. We always said we would be old and gray and still stalkin' Dave on tour, and we have kept our word! :)</div>

We decided to give Riley a snack bag and an invitation to go along with us as her birthday present! The four of us had a BLAST riding the rides, building things with the legos, watching the videos, and the three kids had fun in the climbing structure! After we explored for awhile, we walked through the mall and grabbed a quick bite to eat and then oooohhed and aaaahhhed over the cute puppies in the pet store! It was such a fun way to spend one of our last days of summer!<br />

Sheri has a great way of making an impact with a couple of really cool party features that pack a huge punch with her theme! Riley wanted a Surf's Up party and that's just what she got! Such a fun afternoon with friends...<div>

It came highly recommended by several people, and although she didn't know anyone else signing up for it, Olivia said she wanted to do it. So I signed her up for the last session of camp.<br />
<br />
As we talked about it over the course of the summer, however, Olivia started getting really anxious about it. She wanted me to cancel the class and became very adamant that she did not want to do it. Even on the day of the camp, she had herself worked up into a tizzy over it. I knew she would love it once she gave it a try and met some friends, so I gently encouraged her to go.<br />
<br />
When we went to register, she started to tear up when they asked her what her name was to get the tshirt. :( BUT....by day 3, she didn't even want to say goodbye to me at drop off before she was searching for her friends. On the first afternoon of pickup, she told me that she met a girl who was in her group from 80s camp, and they became fast friends!<br />
<br />
The performance she did was called "Rock the Class-Bah" and it was about rockers vs classical musicians....I think?? It was definitely over Olivia's head, but as she read over her script and the more she practiced the songs and the lines, the more she started understanding it. They learned 7 or 8 songs, and Olivia's part had FOUR lines!! She was a rocker, and boy did she ever ROCK her part! I was {and still am} so super proud of her!!!!!<br />

We took advantage of Olivia's full day of camp and Sydney's half day to do a little Mommy and Me time. We went and did her school supply shopping at Target -- can't believe she is a Pre-K kid!</div>

It is dusty and gross, but ohmygosh, it is just way too much cuteness to miss out on!<br />
<br />
We woke up on our last morning and decided to surprise the girls with a trip there since we didn't have time to go the day before. Sydney was in HEAVEN! Liv, not so much! Those deer can be pretty pushy!<br />

I planned on meeting up with them in Williams once they got into town which was supposed to be around lunch time. At first, we thought we would meet at the Deer Farm or Bearizona, but since they hadn't eaten yet, we decided to meet up in Williams for lunch first.<br />
<br />
We had never really explored that town, despite doing the Polar Express there twice, so it was fun to walk around for a little bit while we waited on them to get there. Williams is on Route 66, so there were tons of kitschy little shops to explore!<br />

We met the crew at a pizza place right on the main strip in Williams, and got our table a few minutes before they got there. Of course, Olivia IMMEDIATELY questioned why there were 8 places set at the table! You can't get anything past her, I swear! Anyway, she was TOTALLY surprised when Kendall walked in and the first thing she said was, "So THAT'S why there are 8 spots here!"</div>

After a big, long lunch. We loaded all of the girls into our car and had Doug drive solo to Bearizona so we could save a few bucks on admission! ;) When we parked, we walked around, watched the bird show, and then took the bus ride! It was so pretty and so much fun! I loved looking at the confused looks on all the faces of the passersby as they tried to figure out what was going on with these four blondes all dressed in overall shorts! Ha</div>

After Bearizona, we went in to Flagstaff and walked around a bit. It was SO crowded and most of the restaurants had a long wait, so we ended up getting Chick-Fil-A and Chipotle for dinner. The day went by so quickly, but I'm SO thankful we were able to get together. I can't wait for our next adventure!</div>

Because it is so hot here in the desert this time of year, we don't really get to do a lot of things outdoors besides swim, so it was so nice to be able to enjoy the weather AND the gorgeous sites. We decided to check out some trails near SnowBowl and we weren't disappointed.<br />
<br />
{These first pictures were taken outside of our hotel while we waited for David to finish up some work. It cracks me up because it looks like they were on a major rock climbing adventure!}<br />

I ended up taking the girls swimming in the pool and they nearly froze jumping in the "heated" 82 degree water! David was not feeling well, so I took the girls to Olive Garden for dinner and then out for ice cream after! They were so good all day, I felt like they deserved a sweet treat....err, two, since they split a milkshake at Mama Burger!</div>

Little did my girls know that the dates we picked to go up coincided with our good friends from California who were taking a summer road trip through some western states! While we only got to spend one day with them {day 3}, we had a blast exploring some new places in Flagstaff.<br />
<br />
We headed up on Thursday mid-morning and got to Flagstaff around mid-afternoon. After checking in to our hotel, we went and found an outdoor park near the Observatory. Oh, how good it felt to be OUTSIDE enjoying the beautiful weather!<br />

We had never gone to the Lowell Observatory before and decided we would check it out this trip. It was really neat to explore some of the things there...I wish we could have spent more time there. Or used our time a little differently. We listened to a little talk about the planets and it was WAY over the girls' heads, but they had fun afterwards watching some science experiments outside. We also got to see Mars in the giant telescope! Right after, Liv saw some ants on a leaf and she seemed wayyyy more excited to see those than the little tiny dot the guy in charge said was Mars, but hey...</div>

I stopped to ask them a few questions about the trees {because while we don't have any in our yard, our neighbor behind us does}. After we pulled away, we commented on how hot and miserable those guys must have been working hard in that heat. The girls came up with the idea of giving them some Otter Pops {we had done that for our mail lady a couple days before} and the guys were so excited! After giving them the Otter Pops, we decided to drive around our neighborhood and pass out more to anyone we saw working outside. We ended up giving out over 12 Otter Pops! <br />

We decided to try and do a random act of kindness once a week. And, for most of the summer, we were pretty successful! Our second act of kindness was to drop off supplies to make Root Beer Floats at our local firestation for the firefighters. They were surprised and the girls were excited to see inside the firestation!</div>

Our final act of kindness was volunteering at Feed My Starving Children. Sadly, Sydney had to sit out of this one because you have to be 5 to volunteer. This was Liv's 4th or 5th time to volunteer here, and man was she a pro. We went with Nana and Poppy, Riley and Mr. Dave, and even David came along too!</div>

We picked up a few things at WalMart {of all places} and had fun letting the girls wander through the toy aisle. Liv found herself a new bike {that we didn't purchase} and the entire Michelson crew {sans Mama} put on their own 4th of July parade right there in the bike section.</div>

We invited our friends over for a little, relaxed swim party and it was just perfect! The girls swam and played and we had cheeseburgers, hotdogs and chips and veggies {and Rice Crispy treats that Sydney helped me make} and it was just so nice to be with friends. Once it got dark, we gave the girls some glow sticks and they did some night swimming! It was really cool to see!</div>

It was so hot and messy, I didn't really take any pictures of the process, but we ended up making shirts for Riley and Reese, Olivia and Sydney, and even a doll shirt for Olivia's doll, Julie. I also made some adorable leggings!<br />

Anyone surprised by that? Sadly, the girls had to miss the first two days of their dance camps. They had a blast the other two days, and I was so impressed with what they learned in such a short amount of time!<br />
<br />
Sydney's camp was Girl Power and Liv's was 80's Old School! Sydney learned a dance to a Super Spy Barbie song and Olivia learned two dances - one to Tricky by Run DMC and one to Parents Just Don't Understand!<br />

<br />
And, what a great Poppy the girls have because he got in and even went down the slide!!!<br />

Shortly after this picture was taken, Sydney did a jump and took her sweet time swimming to the side...the lifeguard jumped in and helped her over {even though she didn't really need the help} and boy did that upset her! Needless to say, we left right after ;)</div>
