Fun at Old Navy!

So I was chosen for an Old Navy beach assecories party from Crowdtap.  Which meant I got to take 3 friends to Old Navy for free beach towels, bags, flip-flops, and sunglasses. I was very excited because I love Old Navy!


So my sisters-in-law Jen and Dre, my mother-in-law Jeannie, and I went this last Saturday. Thanks to the helpful advice from my mom and sister to hold my mail and pick it up Saturday morning, since the package was a bit late in coming. (The mailman did not understand my excitement over a white mailing envelope). Anyway, we had a great time at Old Navy looking at all their bags, towels, sunglasses, and flip-flops. We got great free stuff (unfortunately our Old Navy was out of stock on Old Navy sunglasses) but we really liked all the other stuff. And 3 out of the 4 of us picked out the same bag, so now we can be matchy, matchy (good thing we live a ways apart). And of course, we got some other stuff too. I got some really cute shorts. Most of all it was a wonderful time with just the girls and no kiddos. (Yep, we had NONE of the 8 kids with us!) We finished off the day with lunch and some more shopping. We might have to do this more often.  Shhh...Don't tell Dre's husband Daniel.
 Found a towel to match her purse

So many bags to choose from...

 Trying out the different shades

 So many different colors
Our matching bags.  But we did all get different towels and flip flops.

Big Kids

My second oldest child turned 4 on Wednesday. I can't believe Kaelynn is that old. But I got to thinking about it and it seems like sort of a transition for our family. For a long time Drew was the big kid and then we had a lot of babies or toddlers. But now Kaelynn is getting bigger and we're talking about soccer and preschool in the fall and Rylee won't be too far behind . Even Josh will be a year old in a few weeks and we will be leaving baby era behind us. I'm kind of excited. I think having more Big Kids will be a good thing for our family.

Including pics of Kaelynn's Madagascar3 party, which we got from Crowdtap. The zebra cake was awesome.  The kids had fun with pin the tail on Gloria and watching Madagascar 2 and making masks of the characters.
