The happiest place on earth.....

We took the kids to Disneyland...FINALLY!! We have planned this trip and cancelled this trip three times now. Either because of illness or weather. So John's cousin was getting married in Newport Beach and we could not be THAT close to Disneyland without going. I have to say it is soooo awesome. Just as much fun as when I was a kid. I loved it just as much as the babies did. My girls were so brave and rode all the rides and just had a blast. The wedding was amazing too. They got married in this cute little Christian church in Newport and then the reception was on a huge boat that cruised Newport Harbor. It was so beautiful...the sunset was breathtaking. I told John that I found the place I will retire. There was something so calm and peaceful about Newport Harbor. I LOVED IT!!!!

Dancing Queens!!

Okay, so my two girls came running out of each of their OWN dance classes so excited. They both began to tell me about dance auditions for the competition teams that were going to be held that Saturday. My first thought was NOOOOO. My babies are too young to be auditioning and then not make it. How would I mend their little tiny broken hearts. But, they were insistent and would not let it go so I gave in and let them audition. Now I know how my mom felt when i tryed out for cheer. My heart was pounding, my hands were sweaty, and my stomach felt sick. They were so smiley and showing their little personalities...I think they get that from me!!!! We had to wait a whole week to find out the results. That was such a long week. Sydnee kept asking me "Mommy did I win?" Well, they both made their teams. Ariana is on the first and second grade team called the Hot Tots and Sydnee made the 4 year old team called the Bon Bons. So in addition to their dance class they take once a week and the recital once a year they will be in two or three competitions that are extrememly relaxed and very low key. They are excited and ready to win a trophy or two. I am so proud of my little dancing queens!!!

Row Row Row your boat!!!

So I finally gave in. Yes, yes....my dear sweet husband has been begging me to buy a boat for too long now. I finally felt that my little sweet peas were old enough to begin their adventures on the lake. So we took the plunge and bought a boat. We have been out a few times now and I have to admit that we are having a blast!!! It brings back many childhood memories at Lake Powell. And the girls are loving every minute of it. Now if I could just get them swimming....it will be non-stop life jackets for now..
