Jonas Brothers

Last weekend Nick took the kids to their first concert ever, and it was a big one....the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato at Irvine Meadows!! Masyn was especially excited (like a little teenage girl) and Zain didn't really know what to think. Considering he is petrified of the dark, loud noises and fireworks I was a little worried! Nick went with another dad (our neighbor) and his kids; the beer stand seemed to be a lifesaver for them as a million teenage girls screamed continuously for 4 hours (hehe)! Zain slept most of the concert and Masyn just giggled and screamed with her girlfriends! Even dad had a blast. All in all, everyone had an awesome time and I can't wait for the next concert so I can be a part of the fun (although my "me" time was pretty nice)!




              Zain, Mandy, Masyn, Cami and Jordi ready for fun!
 Masyn and Jordi....neighbors, great friends and partners in crime! Although, they will NEVER go to a concert without a chaperon!
 Zain before he passed out for the evening! Poor guy woke up with pneumonia the next day. I think he'll be a wee bit older before his next concert. But he was a trooper!

First Day of School!

Today marked the first day of school...Masyn is now in 2nd grade and my little Zain is a Kindergartner!! Nick woke up this morning and said to me, "Wow, we did it...we have two elementary school kids!" It really is amazing, crazy, fun, shocking, sad and exciting all at the same time to see them grow up so quickly. We count our blessings daily for two healthy, happy, fun-loving, silly kids. 

Take a peek at Masyn on her first day. She is suddenly into fashion and either wants to pick her own clothes out or she must approve what I pick out. She was wearing some cute leopard slip on shoes in this pick, but apparently we missed em! And the hair....she insisted on it being curly:)

Zain...my little heart breaker and trouble maker all in one! He had a great first day. He was a little nervous at first, but I'm sure he'll find his fit by the end of the week (and hopefully it won't be in the principals office...hehe)! He just can't help the fact that he loves to make people laugh!
We love you Masyn and Zain and wish you much luck in 2nd grade and Kindergarten. We know you'll do great!
