Yeah Friday!

Big suprise, Gabs has another competition this weekend. So my mom and I are taking Gabs and her best friend to Palm Springs for what is to be a dueling competition, I say dueling because they will be competing against bitter rivals the Bullets. I'm not worried, Gabs team is so on top of their routine they will be great. Our girls weekend away means G and Wy get to spend the whole weekend doing boy stuff, Wy is very excited, that means he gets to go to the park and play with dad. My excitement is not only to watch my beautiful daughter dance her heart out but nearby is an outlet mall I can't' wait to get to. Quicksilver -for hooded sweatshirts for Wy, Nike- for soccer shoes for Wy and Etnies, for both kids who seam to be outgrowing shoes every month. By the way I haven't forgotten about Easter I just have yet to download my pictures. Have a good weekend!

Sunscreen anyone?

About a month and a half ago I had what was supposed to be my semi-annual skin check at the dermatologist, well it had turned out I waited about two years. Okay so I was just a little behind. I went, had a few moles removed and then got the fateful call, you need to come back in so we can remove all the surrounding areas of your "Severely Atypical mole". I made the appointment they suggested to wait until after vacation for some odd reason, I mean this mole couldn't have been bigger than a ladybug. Now comes yesterday, G takes me at the request of my mother who has been through it a couple of times, than god. They usher me into a semi-surgical room and proceed to tell G if he feels faint just to step outside and on and on about the recovery of about two weeks no lifting and strenuous moves. WHAT! What have I got myself into? I laid down and they started shooting me with numbing stuff and said it might take awhile, yeah awhile, so after a bunch of cutting, digging cottering, and way more digging the were ready to sew me up inside stiches and outside stitches. By nighttime a felt like someone had stabbed me in the back and sleeping was a way bigger issue, it was horrible especially because the pain meds gave me a little stomach ache to boot. While laying there in agony and not being able to just close my eyes and fall asleep, I thought "Why didn't I just put on that damn sunscreen?" So my question to all of you is, have you made your skin check appointments and have you stocked up on the sun goo for the upcoming sunny season for not only your kids but YOU?

Orlando















































































We have been home from Orlando for two weeks and I am just a little bit behind on the blogging. G and I, both kids and my parents flew over to Orlando for Gabs cheerleading competition and had an absolutely fabulous time. The weather stayed nice during the days and we had lightning storms at night that were pretty neat to watch. Gabs team did great, especially against some really good teams, her team got second. We weren't even expecting to place since we were competing for East coast judges. Alot of our pictures don't include Gabs because she was off with her team having a grand old time without the old fogeys. We stayed in a Disney hotel and were able to enjoy the parks for 5 whole days. We went to a great restraunt called Octoberfest, it was like a real German Oktoberfest with a lud band shouting out "oy oy oy" it was so much fun. We also went on just about every ride they had new and old at The Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot. after those days we moved over the Marriot Villas and relaxed by the pool and had a nice low key time with the kids.

It's been a long time














































Gosh, it has been so long! So much has happened since my last post. We have all been so sick! So wish us luck cause in just a few days we are all flying to Disneyworld for a huge competition for Gabs. Okay, so here a mish mash of pictures to update y'all. Gabs last competition was a national and not only did they place #1 out of 6 teams but they got overall high score out of 6 #1 teams in their division which made them Grand Champions! During the competition weekend we got the kids over to Knotts Berry Farm and they had a great time, Wy really liked the food, I mean candy. Wy turned 4 and we spent his birthday along with a bunch of family and friends at Kidsville a great playplace. The same day Wyatt turned 4, Kim and Nicky were down for Baby Aidans beautiful shower, don;t you love the cake. So like I mentioned before we will be going to Disneyworld and I promise I will have many pictures to share.
