Trouble Maker

This is what I catch Emma doing almost every day. I'm so tired of picking the books up everyday. I'm trying to tell her no, hopefully she learns Mommy means business, soon! The only silver lining for me was that she could only get some of the books. But now she stands on top of the ones she knocks down, to reach the higher level =/ Haha, smart cookie, but ugh.

Adventure City

Katherine has been asking me to find something fun for us to do with the kids, and I am running out of ideas :p A flier came in the mail for Adventure City, and I thought the kids might like that. It's kind of far for us, but it's not too expensive and it was fun last time we went. When we got there, we were even given a military discount since Katherine's husband is in the service.

We even sat for a Magic Show, it was pretty cool. Lots of jokes for the kids. The only bad part- Katie is now a little too big for this place. There were only about 10 rides, and they weren't very entertaining for more than an hour or so for Katie. Katherine's daughters really liked the carousel and wanted to go on over and over. Katie wanted to ride the roller coaster and the other girls were too short to go on, so we had to split for a little while. Might not try this one again unless they get faster rides :p

Grandma Fun

My Mom wanted to go to the park, so we went to a small one in a secluded neighborhood she found. After playing on the slides we went down to the grass area and let the kids run and crawl around. Relaxing. Katie only has 2 more weeks off school, so we need to enjoy our last days!

AV Fair 2014

We went to the fair to watch Hannah and Madison perform their dance they learned. They were great! It took forever and a day for them to get on stage and have their turn, but they were so cute when they did. I had fun hanging out with my cousins for the night. Emma couldn't do anything, but Katie had a lot of fun =) It was nice until it got late, then the crowds came. Pretty fun though.

 

 

 We even ran into Annabelle and Zoey there =)

Playin' At The Park

We had a nice simple day playing at the park today. It was great. Emma loves the swings and Katie loves everything at the park :p

Mom's 27!

For my birthday, my Mom came over and helped me clean my house! It was awesomeeeee. We had dinner at my house, too, with my family and David's family. My Mom made tacos and mac n cheese for everyone, and a very yummy cake!

Tacos are my favorite, my Mom makes them for me every year. Extra olives ;)

My camera has been acting up lately, so this is the best picture I got of the girls and me on my birthday =/ 27's not that important anyway, right? lol

                                         



                                         

  My Mom gave me an awesome present, in addition to cleaning my house, she gave (and hung up!) these pictures for me! =) David bought me the birthday calendar, so cute. I wanted that for months.

Pretty good birthday! So thankful for my family! =)

Swim Swimmin'

11 Months

Each month that goes by, this girl gets more fun. She plays a little more now, she is standing while holding onto something, she is laughing. It is so cute.

I love you Emma Riley <3 br="">

Harry Potter

So my Mom and I took Katie to see Harry Potter at the park, and she did really good. It wasn't too scary, she seemed interested, and her friend Kayle showed up later, too, so she had a friend to share snacks with. Emma was pretty good, too. =)

Emma At Chucks

Laura and her girls joined me and my girls for a playdate at Chuck E. Cheese. Emma couldn't do much, but I thought she'd like some of the small rides there. I was a little bit...wrong. Haha. She hated that swing, so I mostly just carried her around and we watched Katie play games and win tickets.

Chuck came out and we got the kids to take a picture with him, except it's really hard to get all the kids to look at the camera, so, I took what I could get and called it a day :p

Katie always picks a lollipop with her winnings, she is too cute. Love this girl.

Girl Scouts Is Back In Session

The first Girl Scout meeting of the year was held today, and the girls did great. It was nice to get back into it, but I will miss the summer activities! Gemma is our new leader, and she is so organized with hand outs and lessons all ready for the kids to work on. She even prints out the newest info for the parents to take home, too! Hopefully this will be a fun year! =)

Brooke Is Two!

Laura invited my girls and I over to her house to celebrate Brooke's 2nd birthday. These kids are all getting big so fast!

Katie and Emma were having fun playing outside on the bikes. Katie was nice enough to give Emma a ride, haha.

It was pretty fun, the girls liked playing with everyone too =)

Despicable Me 2

Palmdale has a few movie nights at the park as well, but theirs are adults movies, too. We picked this week because it was one of the few kid movies they were showing. It's a pretty good price- $2 for adults, 12 & under is free =) We were supposed to meet with the Girl Scouts for this one, but the only ones that ended up coming are Kayle and Leatha, and they came late. It's okay though, Katie and Emma still enjoyed themselves. We brought snacks since this park doesn't sell much besides popcorn. The only other cartoon is Finding Nemo in a few weeks, but Katie doesn't like that movie, so we won't be coming for that. We may try the first Harry Potter. I don't think that one is as dark/scary as the rest, so I think it would be alright for Katie to watch.
