Boys vs Girls







So over the weekend I came to the conclusion that I feel like I am a much better boy mom than a girl mom. Don't get me wrong...I love dresses and makeup and girly stuff but I would so rather go sit at a baseball game than go to a dance recital.



Payton had her dance recital on Saturday night. So the day started off with a rehersal at 8am. For those of you that know me well, you know I am not a morning person. I had to get a sub for my cycling class to take her. (I missed a much needed workout, with how fast I am gaining weight and all I am eating I really needed to burn some calories)



The rehersal was quick and I ran to Ike's baseball game. (which was warm and so fun)



She is so cute and I absolutely adore watching her do anything. Her class did a really good job. She was about 4th in line to dance and we had already been there for about an hour by the time she danced and there were 28 classes total. It was going to go on all night. So when she was done I grabbed her and we went and got ice cream and then we were off to go to Jared's football game.



It reminded me of one time when me and Jared were fist dating. It was Valentine's Day and his friend and him were trying to do something super special for their girlfriends so they bought tickets to the ballet in SLC as a surprise. Obviously you can tell that he didn't know me very well yet. It was the longest night ever. I think that he was relieved that it wasn't my thing.






But doesn't Payton look so cute in her costume?

Payton looks so cute in her dance outfit. She looks so big. I guess I haven't seen you guys for awhile. And did I miss something? Are you preggers? or am I just reading into something that isn't there? Keep me up to speed:)

How cute! I agree with the all day recitals. I mean seriously. No one cares about anyone else's kid so let's just make a little class dance recital.

Of course she's so cute in her outfit! And I bet she danced so cute too! The problem with dance recitals is that they last FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! And you only get to see your kid for 5 minutes out of the whole 3 hour show! So I'm glad you took off early and got ice cream and some football in!
