Memorial Day in the Water

Today we decided to head back over the resort from some fun in the sun. 1st we all meet at Paradise Bakery for breakfast. They are so yummy. After breakfast we went to the resort and changed into our swim suites then headed down to the pool.

My Big Boy loved swimming in his own!

He was shivering

Sami and my Dad had to leave back to Cali at 12:30 in the afternoon. We were sad to see them go. We swam for a Little while longer then headed to get some lunch. After lunch my grandparent went back to their room and my Mom and us came back to my house. We all rested. Grams and Gramps came over for Taco Salad for dinner.

Late Night Swimming

My Grandparents arrived today for a week visit. They traded their time share in Palm Dessert for a week at the Cibola Vista Resort about 7 miles from my house. The resort is so cool. The have a "kid" pool that has a slide, a lazy river type thing, a current pool, a wadding area of little ones. The pool isn't more then 4'6" at the deepest parts but it's mostly 3-4 feet. Since my parents were also in town for Rylee's recital we headed to the resort after dinner. the pool is open until 10pm and we all wanted to swim. Jer and Diesel stayed home but everyone else headed over.

Rylee's Piano Recital

Tonight Rylee had her 1st Piano recital. She did AWESOME!!!! Her recital piece was called the Banjo Player. I'll post the video of her playing when I get it.

My mom, dad, and Sam came for the weekend. My Grandparents arrived today for a week long visit. So it was nice to have my family here to see Rylee preform.

After the recital all the kids received their first recital pin. Rylee also got some pink roses.

My Beautiful girl!

Rylee and her teacher

After the rectal we all went to dinner at Islands. I am so proud of Rylee she practiced really hard with her daddy and even though she was scared she did GREAT!

Mischief and Mayhem

Looks like someone found Rylee's glitter powder!

Look Mom I'm Pretty!

Oh Lord what are we going to do!

Trying to get in the back yard to help daddy Mow the Lawn! He was all black from the screen.

Is the dog supposed to eat me? The ball? Or is this my new home?

It sure is rough being naughty! But some one has to do it!

A Call from DC

So the other day the phone rang.
I picked up my hand held to read the caller ID.

I read aloud "Oh a call from Washington DC."
Rylee turns to me and said "Mommy is the President calling?"

Jeremy and I were dying of laughter. Such a smart little girl and so funny!

Career Day

Today Rylee had Career Day at school. They had to dress up like what they want to be when they grow up. Rylee picked a Teacher. I think she looks very cute!


Taylor was talking to us as we were getting Rylee ready and she told us she wants to be a waitress when she grows up. My daughter has high aspirations. It's too funny!

April Student of the Month!

Taylor was selected as Student of the Month for her class for the Month of April. She didn't know she was selected. They send home a letter requesting that parents attend but they kids are surprised. Diesel and I went!

When they call each kids name they put their picture on the over head and then the kids runs down the aisle and thought the flags. Then the head to the stage as they run along the parents and they get high fives along the way.
I'm a proud Mommy!

Swimming Fun

Diesel stared his 1st ever Swim lessons. Boy is he funny. He is fearless and isn't too fond of listening. He is in a Preschool A Class. It works on water awareness. They play some games and work on kicks. Diesel wants me in the water with him. and the point isn't to go under water all the way.

Like I said he doesn't listen too well. So the assistant is putting him back in the water.

He loves to blow bubbles and do his big kicks and play games. When the teacher throws the round rings he uses his foot to get them. It's pretty funny and very smart. I had to ask if a kid had ever been kicked out of swim lessons and I was told no. Then I was reassured that she has had worse kids. It's not that he is BAD. He just likes to do his own thing. The 1st day Diesel went under water 6 times. It was a very entertaining 2 weeks!

Rylee's Mother's Day Tea

The Friday before Mother's Day Rylee had a Mother's Day Tea at school. All mom and grandmas were invited. It worked out really nice because my In-Laws were coming that weekend and My Mother In-Law was able to join us for the Tea. The kids sang us songs and read us a book. They gave us some gifts and then we had tea and cookies.

This is Rylee and her teacher Mrs. Airo. (Mrs. Airo was Taylor's kindergarten teacher too and we just love her!)

The kids each picked one reason why they think their mom is special. Then they wrote it on a flower and put it up on this wall. I was special because I buy Rylee books. ... too funny!

Maydeen, Rylee and I


Happy Mother's Day Mommy!

Field Day

Last Friday Taylor and Rylee had Field Day at school. Their last day of school is May 21st and they are starting to do all the fun end of the year activities. Field Day is like Water Day. They play outside and have fun games and activities. They went at different times due to grade. Rylee was fist thing in the morning then Tay was right after.

This was Rylee's 1st time to experience Field Day. She was so happy I was able to come watch her. First Rylee's class did a relay race. They had to sit on this wooden cart then push their way down to the other end, turn around and go back. Rylee's team came in 2nd. She did really good.


Next they went to the giant tent. They played fun games with balls and had to pop the tent to make the balls fly high in the sky. They would run around and then run under the tent. It was very cute.

The next station was the sponge toss. This one was AWESOME! They had 6 kids sit on one side of the chain link fence and all the other kids lined up on the other side. They would then take sponges that were sopping wet and throw them at the fence to get the other kids wet. It was so cute. Rylee had a blast

After that they had another relay race. They were given a bucket with holes all over it and they had to run down and dump the bucket in another bucket. The line that filled the bucket up first won.

There was an Otter Pop station too. The kids really liked this one. They all brought $.50 in and bought an otter pop.

Rylee looked so cute all wrapped up and with her hat on. She is a beautiful girl!

Taylor's class had a Tug-of-War first. They didn't win the whole thing but they did really good and had lots of fun!

Next they played Blind Volleyball. Each team sat on one side of the divider and hit a beach ball back and forth. It was so funny because the kids couldn't see when the ball was coming or where it was going. They all were so loud and had so much fun.

Tay did the relay race too... She was pretty good but her team came in 2nd to last.

The kids did the giant tent but I think 2nd grade wasn't as happy and content with this as the kindergartners were.

Both my girls were on the receiving end of the Sponge Toss. I really think this is such a great idea for a fun thing to do at home if you happen to have a fence. They kids LOVED it and it was pretty fun to watch too.

The 2nd Graders did the Bucket fill Boy -vs- Girls. They were older and bigger and able to put the bucket over head like they were supposed too and got soaked. It was such a nice day and they Loved it. I also think this would be a great idea for a game at home. The boys ended up wining but the girls gave them a run for their money.

Taylor had lots of fun and was very happy I was there to watch her. Last year I had to miss it. They had to cancel the first time because it was raining and they rescheduled it for a day I had to take Diesel to the ENT.

So both girls also did a Giant Inflatable Slip in Slide that the school rented. I was able to get video of each girl sliding. They had lots of fun. I even wanted to do this but I was wearing a dress and I was a mom so I couldn't. :(

Sping Fling

Rylee had her Kindergarten Spring Fling on April 15th. They sang songs from A-Z and had little dances and skits that went with the songs. Select kids were part of the skits. Rylee was chosen from her class to be a butterfly in one of the skits. She was so cute!

(Sorry the pictures are so dark I don't have that great of a camera)

Quote For The Day

This was sent to me in an email and I think it's GREAT!

Quote of the day:

Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.

If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.

If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.

If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.

If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.

So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.
