Science Museum

Today we headed to the Phoenix Science Museum. My Gramps bought us a year membership so we can go back anytime for the next year. We are very excited. The Science Museum is so cool. They have so much and for all different ages. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Jer had to work and wasn't bale to join us. So I am looking forward to going back with him.

They have the Lego exhibit going on right now. The kids all liked that

Even my mom had fun... She's a dork!

The nose sneezed in them. Can you see Taylor's hair from when she jumped back!

He built this all by himself.

After the museum we went to Uncle Sam's Pizza for lunch. It was so YUMMY! When we got home we just relaxed. Gramps went back to the resort and Grams hung out with us for a bit. when we dropped Grams off my Mom treated us to Jamba Juice and the kids ate left overs for dinner.

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 Mom, Rylee and I

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!
