We watched the fantasia show at night, it was really long after you had been walking around all day, but leave it to Tai to still have energy to "CHEESE" I got SO SO sick on California Screamin. It was the first ride of the day and it should have never happened! I knew I got sick on some rides, but I thought I would be ok on this, but boy was I wrong. I was fighting it back about halfway through the ride, and I just about let loose when I got off. But thanks to Ang and Hadley, they helped me off since I had shaky knees and hands and led me somewhere to sit down! I am so LAME!!!!

Disneyland

Two of the days in California, we all got to go to Disneyland, you know, the "happiest place on earth"! it truly is, you just walk up the path and get a HUGE smile on your face! And yes, that is Tai on the bottom left, she can't be left out of anything cheerleading!Tai and Brecklynn just before the Bug Life show! This is one of Tai and I's favorite California Adventure attractions! The Bugs Life Show is so cute and fun!

Tai was pretty disappointed when she wasn't tall enough for the Indiana Jones ride! I was to, I really wanted to ride it!

Luckily we hung out with the Kellie and her family, I really can't ride the teacups and Tai wanted to so bad, so thanks guys!

Tai didn't want to ride the "it's a small world" ride, but i made her, and she loved it! They have recently redone it and wholy moly, it is so cute!

WE LOVE DISNEYLAND!

The storybook land ride is seriously so lame, it is very misleading because going into the whale's mouth looks like it is going to be good, and it isn't! Mini replicas of stuff with no characters!

Another of our favorite rides is Finding nemo-the girls were all good standing in line!

First stop: Huntington Beach

On our trip to California with the Dynamite Cheerleaders, we stopped at Huntington Beach. Some of the girls had never been to a beach, so we stopped. They had a lot of fun swimming and getting sand everywhere. it was cold and windy, but still a good time.

Tai loves Sherece, and she is good to play with Tai: The Dynamite coaches: Mindy, Tiffany and Kellie!

Tai wanted so bad to get into the water, but it was freezing!

Me and my girl on the beach:

Teya's Second Birthday

We finally got it done! Only a month late, but hey, we celebrated Teya turning 2: I scored big with the elephant cake that turned out so flippin' cute! Teya just sat and looked at it and said, "MUMO" Blowing out her 2 candles:

Tai helping her sister:

Here is what she got for her birthday, minus the clothes (in the wash) and the money that she got.

She got super cute clothes!

She had so much fun with her cousins opening presents:



She kept saying "Open-it"

The girls were so excited, they both got an umbrella from Grandpa Kendall & Grandma Paula:

The "MUMO" cake! I must say, I did pretty darn good! Go me!

Tai's recital

This year we got to count the "dress rehersal" as our dance recital because Tai and I were gone to California when the real thing went down. It was actually kind of nice, we got to watch our child and go home. She did such a good job, and is getting to be such a great dancer. Thanks Miss Ginger!
All the girls got to choose their color of costume, of course Tai chose pink: tai's left aerobesque:

Look at that form, about to do a plea'

They did their ballet routine to "when you wish upon a star" and they used their star wands.

practicing their finalle with the older girls. Thanks Hadley for helping:

This is how Teya acted the whole time Tai was dancing. She wanted up on the stage to so bad: Jake looked so thrilled to be there. I told him get used to having daughters:

Me and my little dancer:

After the girls were done, Teya, Tai & cousin Maili danced on stage together. It was so cute:

Tai had the cutest dance to "shoe fly don't bother me" and they used fly swatters. Here is her shuffle:

I just LOVE random up close and personal pictures of my girls:

Bringing Cheerleading home:

Tai picks up so many moves from coming to cheerleading with me, here is her aerobesque: Of course, Teya has to do what her sister is doing, so here is her lib:

Tai at it again:

Before long, Teya discovered that it is way more fun to jump off than to try to hold still:

"Mi-Mi-gone"

Back on March 3 I decided it was time for Teya to loose her binkie. I wasn't to excited about getting rid of it because it made her such a happy little thing most of the time, but i thought that it was time for it to go. Up until about a month ago, she only had it in her bed when it was time to nap or go nu-night! But she had been sick off and on for a while so she had had it quite a bit more. Well on this particular day, she came out with it in her mouth (I have no idea how she got it our of her bed) and she handed it to me so that she could get a drink, well while she wasn't looking, off came the top of it. She said, "mi-mi?" and i gave it back to her. She put it in her mouth and then took it out and looked at it. I said, "Teya your mi-mi broke." She tried again and she said, "mi-mi-gone" I said "yep" then I frantically ran around the house collecting a sandwich bag full of binkies. I can't complain, she has done really well without it, other than she quit taking regular naps and going to bed very good, which really sucks!

We Survived an Earthquake:

Last night Jake and I were each laying on a couch watching the deleted scenes on our Office Dvd's and we felt the couches shaking for a couple seconds. Jake stopped our laugh fest and we both looked at eachother and Jake said, "THAT WAS COOL, DID YOU FEEL THAT?" I totally did, it was a wierd feeling, but pretty cool!

What are you saying chic?

Teya has really started talking alot lately. Jake and I laughed pretty hard today when she started saying "shine go"! We have yet to figure out what she means, but she said it over 30 times in a 5 minute period! No, I mean over 30!!!!!! I love this age when they start talking and trying to talk all grown up. Although it means my baby is getting big!

Pay it Forward

To be honest, I must be a little loopy, I have seen this on several people's blogs and I never really got it, something just didn't click in my mind, until now about how this works and how easy-DUH.

Hittin' Vegas

Jake & Braydan working it at the Burn's Saddlery Booth: Anyone want to buy some boots?

Misty and I drove down to Vegas to chill with our guys and hit the town a little. We had so much fun. We got down there on Saturday afternoon and had lunch with Jake and Braydan and then we decided to go shopping at the Forum Shops at Ceaser's Palace. Ok, I must tell you, I could be a rich girl. I have never shopped at Dolche & Gabana, Armani, Coach, ect.. you know the high roller stores. Well I actually tried on clothes at some of the stores and it was like they were meant for my body! Everything I tried on fit like a glove. I would have come home with a new wardrobe had it been for the price tags that were attatched. My favorite dress of all time cost $3200.00! Stuff was so expensive. I would be lying if I didn't say that I was totally depressed. I wanted those clothes so bad- I guess I will just have to wait until Jake wins MEGABUCKS!!!!!

Here is me and my hottie waiting for dinner at the Cheesecake Factory:

Misty and I standing in line at South Point Casino. That is where we stayed and where the booth was. That casino is totally cool, it is geared for everything equestrian.Braydan and Misty- two of our good friends. We have so much fun with these guys, we laugh so hard! Thanks again for a great weekend. We love you guys!!!

"I look so pretty right now"

Tai was talking to Grandma Snell on the phone after she had gotten loaded up with all her bling bling and that is what she said, " Grandma, I look so pretty right now!" Yes, my Tai, you always look so pretty!
