We have not been abducted by aliens the entire month of October. We have been swamped up to our eyeballs in baseball season!! All the kids who could be on a team this season are. Hayden is on the Phillies t-ball team. Taylor is on the Red Sox coach pitch team, and Tyson is on the AAA Braves team. Sorry for the lack of posts. I will attempt to catch up :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hayden is hitting so much better this season. I think she has figured out, the harder she hits the quicker it will be over. Let's just say she has not loved this baseball season.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-akvrSfsWdIo/VDHVJ403TOI/AAAAAAAARmw/eJ0nYBRnYDw/s1600/IMG_1675.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-akvrSfsWdIo/VDHVJ403TOI/AAAAAAAARmw/eJ0nYBRnYDw/s1600/IMG_1675.JPG" /></a></div>
When she does slug the ball she still prances down to the bases. It is adorable! She is the only girl on her team and she loves all the attention.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9NfceTg-qyU/VDHVLfoXUDI/AAAAAAAARm4/IeijlaWZcyE/s1600/IMG_1676.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9NfceTg-qyU/VDHVLfoXUDI/AAAAAAAARm4/IeijlaWZcyE/s1600/IMG_1676.JPG" /></a></div>
Hayden is rarely ever put in a serious fielding spot. I think it is half due to her safety and half due to the coaches sanity. If a ball is hit directly to her and hits her cleats, she will pick it up. That's about if for fielding.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taylor also plays in the out field a bunch but she is getting better & better at hitting. I think she has hit off the coach more in this one season than Tyson has in his last 3 seasons. Gotta love it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Taylor is also the only girl on her team and it has been good for the most part. We did have a bullying incident that went on and I had to talk to a teammates parents. They were so upset that they made this poor boy write a letter to Taylor and apologize to her and to me.</div>

Here is a copy of the letter:<br />

Super nice of Andreas, I think his parents may have grounded him for life. I have never seen parents so upset with their child. I hate having to talk to parents about their kids but it had gone on for a couple of weeks and was making Taylor upset. Being a grown up is not all it's cracked up to be :)<br />
<br />
For Tyson I have not taken a single picture this entire season. It is a totally different vibe now that he is in the big leagues. All the cute Mommy pictures are kind of weird when the kids are so big and basically professional ball players :) I will have to try to sneak and get some tonight!<br />

Our ward had a family picnic at Seastrand park the other day. I am a bum and loathe these activities but drag myself to them because the kids love them. It was pleasantly not as painful as I had expected it would be, but it still can't beat being at home :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my crazy girl. She has a swollen nose and face from tripping over a cement car barricade and falling onto a cement sidewalk nose first. What the heck? Just this morning she fell down 3 stairs as I was standing right next to her. If she makes it out of childhood alive it will be a miracle!!</div>

We had to get a group shot of all the DeMilles who were together for the weekend. Growing up we were the only Susoevs ever. My Mom has 4 sisters and only 1 brother so at every family reunion everyone had different last names. And no, before you ask, there were never any Susoev reunions. That's a whole mess of fish we just won't get in to :) It is so weird to me to have so many people with the same last name. </div>

Super fun weekend and I even sqeezed in an IKEA trip and found a perfect bathroom cabinet! The funniest thing is our family has 1 boy and then 3 girls and their family has 1 girl and then 3 boys. We did an awesome clothes swap a roo. We brought up 7 bags of Tyson's old clothes and they sent us home with over 9 bags of girl clothes.

Friday night Aunt Darcie threw Maren a Harry Potter themed birthday party. Maren just turned 8 and has read the first 3 Harry Potter books. She's in love with anything Harry Potter and Aunt Darie went all out! We had a sorting ceremony and each kid was put into a house. Luckily we were all in Griffindoyr (just like Harry :)<br />

pinch of cinnamon= unicorn dust<br />
dry ice= troll rock<br />

The kids were mesmerized while Aunt Darcie was making their very own Butter Beer. The adults were amazed by how yummy it actually was. Such an awesome party!

Taylor had her 6 year old well check up in August and they screened her for her sight and told me I need to take her to an optometrist. Come to find out my girl can't see!! <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--hCZdDHftXQ/VAiK7qZmBtI/AAAAAAAARfI/9zoK_AeIQKk/s1600/IMG_1576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--hCZdDHftXQ/VAiK7qZmBtI/AAAAAAAARfI/9zoK_AeIQKk/s1600/IMG_1576.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>

The saddest part was when the doctor started changing the lenses to see which was better. Taylor sat up and was amazed that she could see so clear. It broke my little heart :(<br />

She has an astigmatism in one eye and has some nearsightedness in the other eye. The doctor said she can't see near and she can't see far. So Sad!! I asked the doctor why we didn't know sooner that she couldn't see and he said she had been seeing like this her whole life, she didn't know any better. How do you explain something's fuzzy if you've never seen it clear? <br />
Here she is wearing them for the first time!!<br />

When we picked them up they told us she may get headaches and actually fall down a bit because she was so used to over compensating for her perception of things being off.

We park hopped over to Disney California and rode a few rides before I talked Jason into getting this huge ice cream at Ghiradelli. (We got ice cream there once and now I dream of it.) Isn't that monster amazing?!? It has 8 different ice creams and 8 different toppings. Delicious!!<br />

They had this amazing climbing contraption. It had a trampoline at the bottom but each level was only made of these stretchy bands. Tyson and Taylor tried for a minute but only made it to the 2nd level. I told Tyson that if he made it to the top I'd pay him $5. So who climbs to the top first? Taylor of course!! This first picture she was the first one to make it but was so scared at the top she would not stand up.<br />

Tyson found a money maker in this climbing business and earned $20 on this adventure. I have been really trying to find a thing to motivate this kid, summer has been hard. All he wants to do is watch TV. The other day I was watching the news about a little boy who had a degenerative disease that was making him lose his sight. He eventually will be blind. The story was about how this sweet little boy is touring the nations capitol and seeing the sights before he loses his sight. Tyson says, "If I was going blind, I would sit all day and watch as many TV shows as possible!" Arghhh!</div>

As an entire family we cannot get over the cuteness of this munchkin. She is going to be a spoiled princess, she is given everything she wants just by smiling or screaming for it.

My sweet husband decided to surprise me this day with a beautiful set of roses. I had been so cranky since Disneyland I think it was a last ditch effort on his part to get me out of my bad mood. He worked the night before so these were waiting for me when I got up and after he had gone to bed. Night shifts stink!</div>

Tyson is the milk mixer at our breakfast table. Every morning he asks the girls if they'd like chocolate or strawberry milk and makes it for them. It's adorable.<br />

I found this amazingly cheap V-tech laptop. I am a sucker if anything that is deeply discounted, it is my Achilles heel. It was $20 down from $40 and I was going to buy it for Hayden for Christmas. I debated and debated, I am in the middle of a decrapification binge and refuse to buy toys the kids won't use. After the back & forth I put it back. My friend is doing a 5 gift limit for Christmas and I think I am going to try it. (Don't hold me to it, I said "try"!)<br />

After picking up Tyson & Taylor we headed over to Sonic/Walmart. Tyson earned a lego set (which he promptly lost due to attitude) and Taylor earned a monster high doll for their summer math program.<br />

For cub scouts we made puddle jumpers and drew cartoons. We had the boys draw a 3 step cartoon and then cover their can with their drawings. In cub scouts you are always trying to come up with inventive ways to pass off as much as possible! Puddle Jumpers and cartoons are not usually something you would think would go together :)<br />

We decided to make them race each other. They had to give Jason a high five and go around him. It was surprisingly hard! We offered a candy bar to the winner. Tyson won (and promptly lost it due to attitude).<br />

Another trip to our favorite place.<br />
I was just reading an online article about how awful amusement parks are and I agree on a lot of the writers points. They are crazy expensive, it's suppose to be an enjoyful experience for the whole family and usually turns into a nightmare. After having the passes this year it has really made each trip funner and funner. You know where you're going,(how many times have you aimlessly walked around a place not knowing where to go?) You know how to cut costs with food, and you don't stress missing a ride because you'll be back and jump on it on the next trip. It has really been fun. I am going to miss Disneyland when our passes expire in October!!Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-49917591885071467842014-08-25T21:19:00.003-07:002014-08-25T21:19:46.786-07:00Birthday Boy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I surprised Jason with this fun shirt on his birthday, it says, "I don't have birthdays, I level up". Hilarious! When he gave the park his pass a huge red screen popped up and said it was his birthday. He is reluctant to draw attention to himself and was very embarrassed when the worker made a big deal and then made him a birthday button to wear. He's such a good sport though that he wore it all day :)</div>

I am trying not to be too rude but Disneyland is the weirdest place for foreigners. I could not imagine speaking absolutely no English and going to an English speaking amusement park. The couple in front of us were just that. Not a lick of English between the two of them. Disney is very strict on who sits where and when they put these two in the front they decided to try to take my seat in the back because they wanted to sit together. After a lot of worker orneriness they were moved back to their first and second seat. The workers told the fella over and over to remove his hat and he just looked at them blankly. So crazy!! I wish they would give you pictures after the fall, they were drenched!!</div>

We love to go to the beach to break up the trip. After a fun morning at the beach we go to the hotel and clean up before going to a movie. We love this Regal Cinemas in Fullerton but they have these way overpriced games that the kids beg to play. I always give in and Jason just grumbles about how over priced they are. We never win and the kids end up bawling when they leave empty handed.<br />

Which would you rather be: the parent who always says No, or the parent who has to deal with the melt downs from saying yes? It's a lose lose! Jason says he likes to be the parent who doesn't waste his money, if they're just going to bawl anyway!Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-54413917367635290482014-08-21T13:22:00.001-07:002014-08-21T13:22:42.412-07:00Disney California<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Right before we went to the hotel the first night we had a long talk with a worker on the train ride. We were told about "secret Mickey's" on a lot of the major rides. We found the very hard to find Mickey on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and decided to research other interesting facts about Disneyland. So, a few years back Disneyland had a rodent problem and they decided to release 200 cats to help deal with them. Well now instead of having a rodent problem they now have a cat problem!!<br />

The cats have not all been recaptured and a few come out during the day to get fed by visitors. One worker told us this particular cat loves popcorn! The train worker told us that most of the cats live in or around the employee parking and several times a week she'll get to her car to go home and she'll have a cat on her hood. Crazy!! Jason & Tyson also found a hidden Mickey on the California screaming ride. It can only be seen when you are upside down going around the loop in the rollercoaster. It's in the cement on the ground directly under the loop. They were so proud to see it because so many people close their eyes going upside down. Jason even went to a store and bought a book that had scavenger hunts to find hidden Mickey's, who knew?!Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-90895054815483613992014-08-21T13:02:00.000-07:002014-08-21T13:02:19.754-07:00Jason's Birthday trip to Disney<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was all over the shirts this trip I wanted to wear matching shirts as many days as possible. I may be losing it a little with all these trips to Disneyland. I researched free printables and have gone a little crazy. This day we wore the "Have a Laugh" printable.</div>

I once had a visiting teacher who told me she actually believed she was a princess when she was growing up. She was little off, but I do worry with all the Disney exposure that our girls will be delusional when they grow up.<br />

Our HOA is awesome and every year they give homeowners a day at the ball park. They get you vouchers for free parking, tickets for the game, hats for everyone, and $5 concession money for each person! We love it!

Because we didn't have to pay for anything we had no problem shelling out for snow cones and the kids each got a fun stuffed animal at the team store.<br />

Hayden did not want to get dunked but she was more than excited to dunk her brother. Where's the love?<br />

Hayden played her first season of t-ball in the spring and never once threw as hard or as far as she did while trying to dunk Tyson. I guess it's all about the motivation with this girl :)<br />

They set up the ropes course this year and I was so excited. I remember growing up and they had a ton of ropes you could go on. When I was little they even had a zip line tire swing thing. No zip line this year but a step in the right direction with this awesome ropes course! Tyson was the only brave kid of ours to do it.<br />

When we got home from California Taylor had this amazing gift waiting for her from Grandma DeMille!! Its a blanket that folds up into a pillow.

I of course had to stop at IKEA on our California trip and found this awesome backyard table set with 4 chairs for $118! It was such a deal, regularly an outdoor chair is $50-$80. Jason of course had to work so me and the girls got to work putting the furniture together.<br />

The next day was church and the 3 girls all came down with a weird virus that caused crazy fevers for 4 days. We went through 2 bottles each of Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I had to keep a chart of who I gave what. Every 4 hours around the clock the girls would spike these fevers and after I would give them their medicine they would be fine until the next spike. So to pass the time while we were quarantined the kids made all sorts of stuff out of the IKEA boxes I brought home.</div>

We waited in line for the Toy Story Mania ride and because it was her birthday someone just handed Taylor a Dumbo stuffed animal. They had won it playing the midway games and their son didn't like Dumbo. It was a MAJOR source of contention the rest of the day and led us to leaving early and almost driving back home this very night. Sad when someone's kind deed ruins your whole day. It's like when someone has an extra Popsicle and gives it to one of your kids and the other 3 throw fits because they didn't get one too.<br />

After Toy Story we went to see if Taylor was tall enough to go on California Screaming. She just knew that she was tall enough now because she was 6 years old. When they measured her she was still too short and a little heart broken so they gave her a fast pass to any ride in the park. This girl is the luckiest girl I know!! We have been to Disney several times and have never been given these amazing fast passes. She gets 2 in 2 days!! <br />
We went to the Aladdin show and got half way through it before the melt downs began.<br />

We went on the water ride because of the heat and thought it would be fun to do the wilderness adventure activities. By this time behaviors were so bad I had to have strangers stand between the girls in line. Who knew!?! Ugly business!<br />

We ate the most drama filled dinner of my life and then took this one last picture of "posed" fun before heading to the bus to get back to the hotel.<br />

Sad to say Dumbo never made it out of the park with us. He was probably scooped up by a grateful child who will love him, or maybe he ran away from us to escape the drama. I am very worried to know these girls at age 14. (I am even more worried because I have 3 girls who are very close in age. One day I will have a 16, 15, and 13 year old!) In theory it was an awesome idea. Oh well, live and learn :)Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-84656994477852445222014-08-02T11:51:00.000-07:002014-08-02T11:51:25.511-07:00Taylor's birthday Disneyland trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since we have Disneyland passes this year we decided to forgo a big birthday party and instead I brought Taylor to Disneyland with her good friend Klara.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pQj7nbb8coU/U9ptK1nB4fI/AAAAAAAAQck/Uw-Wl5jx4Io/s1600/IMG_1152.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pQj7nbb8coU/U9ptK1nB4fI/AAAAAAAAQck/Uw-Wl5jx4Io/s1600/IMG_1152.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
The girls were so excited to go to Disneyland together. We made these adorable shirts and I bought the girls these fun Minnie ears. I was shocked that they wore them all day. We would get on a roller coaster and they would take them off and then get them right back on afterwards.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--L5ft0f2ch8/U9ptMOnWqxI/AAAAAAAAQcs/2Mv5HSHIHS8/s1600/IMG_1153.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--L5ft0f2ch8/U9ptMOnWqxI/AAAAAAAAQcs/2Mv5HSHIHS8/s1600/IMG_1153.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
It's hard for us to remember with our passes that other kids are not as used to going on these rides as us. Klara HATED Indiana Jones and cried her eyes out on Haunted Mansion. We thought she wouldn't be scared on Splash Mountain, but we were wrong.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-37wCuI5Dg9A/U9ptNb3JXCI/AAAAAAAAQc0/INRuX56ess8/s1600/IMG_1154.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-37wCuI5Dg9A/U9ptNb3JXCI/AAAAAAAAQc0/INRuX56ess8/s1600/IMG_1154.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
She was absolutely terrified so we had to change gears quickly. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We went on the opposite side of the park to ride Small World. No one could get scared on Small World!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We then went up to Mickey's Toon Town. One problem with having only one adult was each kid was not old enough to go by themselves on any ride and they will not watch your kid while you ride with the other. The only ride they worked with us on was the mini roller coaster in toon town. Sadly it made me crazy dizzy and I had to ride it twice. Good thing I'm not a barfer :)<br />

We caught a show and then rode the tea cups. The girls loved it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We did a few more small rides and dealt with a few melt downs and then decided to wait for the parade. We were surprisingly on each others nerves by now and not happy to be waiting around for a parade but this amazing worker saw Taylor's birthday pin and came over to talk to us. He was super sweet and gave her a fast pass to ride any ride in the park!! We were shocked and it made our whole day! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Because I made the girls wait and get good seats for the parade we had an amazing view of all the parade floats. So cool! After the parade we ran over to Thunder Mountain Railroad and it was Klara's favorite ride of the day.<br />

We found Donald before we left the park and Taylor HAD to get a picture with him for her Grandpa. He and Grandma talk to the kids every week on the phone and they love when Grandpa talks in his Donald Duck voice.<br />

Roller coaster of a day. Awesome highs and terrible lows. I always have visions of how these kind of things will go in my head. Reality and my head never quite match up. Taylor and I were so excited to not have to deal with Tyson, Ryan, and Darrell with all their issues at the park but we were surprised about a lot of other issues that came up. Who knew the stroller would be sorely missed? We thought it was such an inconvenience because you always have to park it and drag it around. Each girl wore a backpack that caused endless complaints and drama. I had a big cooler backpack which also got pretty annoying. I will have a much bigger appreciation for Ryan and here stroller on our next trip :) I was also not prepared for the problem that it was one girl's birthday and not the others. Everyone and their dog talked to Taylor and wished her Happy Birthday, even other guests at the park. It caused major drama. Who knew Darrell's pass is a life saver? We stood in line for Star Tours for an hour, it got ugly! I think after our season passes are up I will be able to write an official book on what not to do based on all my mess ups :)Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-57221292453099703812014-08-02T11:46:00.000-07:002014-08-02T11:46:25.543-07:00Taylor's 6th Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our oldest girl turned 6!! I cannot believe how old my little baby is! She had a monster birthday trip planned for the next day so we were kind of low key on her actual birthday. She chose Macayo's for lunch.</div>

Jason worked the night before and had to work this night too so we woke him up for lunch and then he went back to bed after. (Hence the face)<br />

We were pretty low key with Daddy at work and no one else over so I relit those candles at least 10 times and the kids blew them out to their hearts content. We are birthday lovers over here. I love that Christmas just barely beats birthdays out on the kids favorite holidays list :) Super fun low key day, stay tuned for Taylor's amazing birthday trip...Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-90384167480835590892014-08-01T22:54:00.001-07:002014-08-01T22:54:46.364-07:00July 12x12 2014<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We started our day with Tyson and Taylor earning a $5 shopping spree to the 99 cent store!! I have them doing a math program for the summer and I can created rewards if they finish so many assignments with a 70% score or higher. Awesome right? As you can see they had already earned root beer floats and a pancake party. I love this program and it was completely free!! The kids did an assessment of what they know at the beginning of the summer and it has put together assignments based on what they need to work on.</div>

This girl is a nightmare in the car and Taylor is the only one who will sit by her. She constantly throws her pacifier and then screams for it. She also has a mean streak and will reach over and scratch and pull hair out of the blue. I would love to be done with "pappys" but she is obsessed. Ryan can't say her P's so she calls them her "happys". Adorable!!<br />

I had to return some pants to Savers so we stopped by there first. I had a $13 dollar store credit so I told the kids to go nuts.<br />

Then we were off to the dollar store for the $5 shopping sprees. (Tyson sadly lost his $5 reward :( Is anyone else dying this summer with how bad their oldest (and supposedly should know how to behave in public) child is? He is actually killing me! I told him on the drive home from this outing that I was going home to research summer camps in Somalia I could send him to. Ungrateful, entitled, lazy, rude... AHHHHH!!<br />

This girl is on the other hand a great shopping buddy. We had a Mommy/Ryan shopping outing the other day and we laughed and laughed that we didn't bring anyone else :)<br />

Another day in our fun life :)Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-54751105363013501092014-08-01T08:12:00.000-07:002014-08-01T08:12:24.732-07:00Adventures in preschool<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our wonderful, fabulous, amazing, talented, patient, (I can't say enough about her!) preschool teacher has decided to move onto the next phase of life and has given up teaching preschool. Tyson went to Mrs. Aubrey's school four years ago and Taylor went 2 years ago. I had been pestering poor Mrs. Aubrey to get Hayden signed up when she told me the sad news. So, seeing an amazing opportunity, I asked Aubrey if she would sell me her preschool supplies and I would start my own preschool!!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c6EspKGWlrk/U9psae2EXxI/AAAAAAAAQYw/YooSrxddR4o/s1600/IMG_1120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-c6EspKGWlrk/U9psae2EXxI/AAAAAAAAQYw/YooSrxddR4o/s1600/IMG_1120.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
We have a master bedroom downstairs and upstairs in our home so this room is perfect for the preschool. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My kids are in actual heaven having all of Mrs. Aubrey's preschool supplies in our home. They have the most wonderful memories from going to her school. Tyson still uses math concepts she taught him! She taught him that all evens have friends so they aren't alone, LOVE IT! <br />

Hayden is so excited to start school, she goes in the preschool daily and reviews her animals, sounds, and colors. (Tyson and Taylor almost died when they saw these little pointers, I guess they got to use them at Mrs. Aubrey's but they had to take turns with the other kids. They couldn't believe they were all theirs to use now. Hilarious! I saw them at the dollar store the other day :)</div>

The funny thing is I thought I would set up the room and start getting lesson plans together and people would be beating down my door to sign up. Not so much :) After swallowing some humble pie I have one full class of kids who were in my mommy preschool last year, and that's about it. I had one lady referred by Aubrey come over last week and check out the preschool and take my paperwork to fill out and haven't heard from her since. I have decided to look at it all as a positive. Because I am only teaching the one class I have put Ryan & Hayden in a mommy & me music class, I will have time to volunteer at the kids school, and that lady's kid looked annoying anyway :)Kellie DeMillehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03724182169058540640noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629912040116639127.post-56437919352046167262014-08-01T07:44:00.000-07:002014-08-01T07:44:22.193-07:00Wet n Wild<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another fun activity we did while Jason was off was Wet n Wild. We brought our friend Owen.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLlWWsCnWTw/U9psRznIFwI/AAAAAAAAQX0/OgGiaBLBNvw/s1600/IMG_1111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mLlWWsCnWTw/U9psRznIFwI/AAAAAAAAQX0/OgGiaBLBNvw/s1600/IMG_1111.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
Tyson and Taylor had to show poor Owen how "fun" it is to have the huge bucket dumped on you. Brats!<br />

We always sneak tons of food in to wet n wild but I guess now they actually take your towels out and unfold them. Any new ideas on how to sneak food in? And can I say how annoying it is to have to sneak food in in the first place?!? Freaking annoying!!<br />

I'm glad there are water parks back in Vegas, the kids love them, but I am underwhelmed and super annoyed about the food. I think I'm going to start a petition about the food and the dang lazy river. What the heck? Only one entrance/exit, it's super small, and I actually had a lifeguard yell at Tyson, "no swimming". Has anyone checked out cowabunga bay?
