Mia and NASCAR and St. Patrick's Day Parade

 We went to the St. Paddy's day parade in Henderson with

Brooke, Marlee, and Grandma B. They always have such a great turn out

We actually ended up leaving after 2.5 hours! They had a car show and carnival too

but Marlee passed out, Mia was tired and Kellan was getting hard to keep still 

 Rick was nice enough to come after working all night and save us

a spot ( I told him not to) but it was really nice to have a front row

until a group of kids came right in front of us.. so annoying

 sorry mom, only picture and you were laughing

 Marlee and Brooke

 We  kept entertaining the kids with candy. 

I couldn't believe how much candy they passed out

 Kellan made it all the way til we got home but then decided he only wanted to 

take a 30 minute nap. It was fun to hang out with Marlee, too bad we were in school most of the time.

 Mia at Nascar. Of course she was loving life! She got the garage pass again

as well as a suite filled with food from Uncle Greg down the street. LUCKY GIRL

 Her serious face

 this kid LOVES this stuff. It is so funny. People think it's Rick who 

loves it, but she is the one who could stay out there all day. 

 serious face again

 You can barely see her mouth open on this one, but the guys are coming down

She got some more autographs on her jacket too!

Rick asked her what her favorite part of the day was and she

said spending it with you dad. She LOVES going to Nascar with her dad.

50's Dance

 Mia had a 50's dance at school so we all dressed up. 

 It was super fun, I was going to put Kellan in a white shirt rolled

up but I knew it would be sooo dirty so we went with the nerdy look on him :) 

 Mia's little friend Rose from kinder

 Mia danced all night and so did this guy! 

He was all about it, going in and out of kids

shaking his bum and doing this one arm behind

his back move, it was hilarious.

 He just wanted to go to the stage and stare at the DJ, 

he had too much fun and of course we got picked to go

up on stage and get an award for best dresses ( I was not too excited about that)

It was a fun night though!

Mia did her before dance pics at the house posing away. 

Mia just got these back from Daughter Daddy Dance from her dance

place,  I thought they turned out sooooo cute. They really do look alike. 

So I forgot to tell the story of Mia in her dance class. I have to preface the fact that since 

Rick's schedule change, I haven't been going to dance, Rick takes her so anyway I went to dance

and I was already getting the stares of " Who is this lady? and the constant looking at me from the corner of their eyes." And noooo I am not exaggerating, this is just how Bunker Dance is. 

Anyway, the last 10 minutes of class, Miss Diane takes these little cotton snowballs out and is passing out 2 per girl to play a game with. So I'm watching as Mia gets her snowballs, and I can see what is starting to happen before my eyes and I'm thinking oh no oh no don't do it. She methodically takes one snowball and places it inside leatard on the left side, then takes the second one and carefully puts it inside on the right side and then pushes them up looking in the mirror and then pushes them together!!!! All while looking in the mirror! Making boobies!!!

I felt a rush of red in my face and immediately hear the moms giggling and I just started laughing and said Oh no.Wow.  It was absolutely priceless. So we get in the car and I say Mia, do you remember that we can see you in the mirror when you are dancing, and she's like oops haha and I said, why were you making boobs from your snowballs? She said I don't know mom and started giggling. 

We all did it, my favorite was apples and oranges but I just couldn't believe she did it in dance class in front of the class! Nobody else seem to notice around her, they were just getting their own snowballs, but Mia was very occupied with making those snowballs looks like boobs!! Rick was also VERY grateful that it was NOT him that was there and had to witness it. :) 

Daddy/Daughter dance and the Zoo!

 Mia sure has been missing this guy right here lately...

Mia sure does love her cousin Scott and misses him so much when

she doesn't get to see him.

 this cute little bug is 13 mo old and never sits still

He LOVES getting into things: he's saying so many cute 

words right now and he already has major testosterone. The other day he

was trying to pick up something and saying, urrrrg huffing and puffing, then

he got it over his head and then threw it and walked away with his chest puffed out.

Soooo funny!

 and we are getting more teeth!

 he LOVES playing peek a boo with Mia 

and he will say, Mia are u??? Rick said 

he's also doing it to him when he's trying to

go to the bathroom and saying, dad are you? 

Trying to find him.

 Mia had a daddy/daughter Valentine dance at her dance studio

so she was really excited. I told her she could wear the one Grandma B got

her for Xmas but she said, mom I just want to go look at the store ( doesn't that 

sound like a girl) anyway she got this cute dress on clearance ( she's like her mom)

and wanted me to do her hair like Cinderella, so that's what we did. I guess that dads 

even had a dance off and Rick had to go dance out in the middle by himself. Funny. 

While we were in the store looking for dresses, Mia spots a little girl bra for the first time

and reacted like it was a kitten "Oh mom look how cute that is! It's just like yours but my size!"

It was so funny and I said yup you won't be needing that for a loooong time. ( Especially if she takes 

after my side, Rick's side is another story ) She was so cute though telling Rick how nice he looked and kissing him :) 

 Kellan eating icecream. Now that he can eat anything and everything,

he takes full advantage..

 There's a zoo in Logandale called Roosmore and it did a fundraiser

downtown at Zappos because they are trying to shut them down for not having the proper bathroom

facilities I guess, so we took the kids and Mia kept saying, "Mom I'm in the city right now, it's so beautiful!"

It was funny. Anyway, we got to see some cool animals, have lunch in one of the little shops and we even saw one of Rick's friends so we took a picture with him. 

 pretty cool that these were in downtown Las Vegas

 Mia got to pose with an armadillo and a huge bird
