6 Flags Discovery kingdom

Ashlyn and Blair

The next day we went to 6 Flags.  We definitely had fun but we didn't get to do/see everything that we wanted to do.  The kids were all troopers and we definitely tired them out by the time we decided to leave!  Valerie came with us and was definitely a big help.  She even bought all the kids an animal bracelet to remember the day.   

Picture with Bugs and Daffy right when we got there.  Blair and Ashlyn were both afraid of them so that is why Jac and I are holding them.  Blair seemed to like them after the fact which is good since we are planning on going to Disneyland next month and I'm sure she will see a bunch of characters there.

Dyer's first ride!  He absolutely hated it!  In fact he hated all the rides I took him on except the train type rides.  If it goes up and down or around in a circles he is not a fan.  Hopefully this changes next month...

 Gma, Blair and Ashlyn

Dyer with Ms. Valerie.  

As you can tell he is really not sure about this ride.

Easton

Watching the Looney Tunes dance off.

Looking at the Walrus.

Haha!  This picture makes me laugh because the sign right about Easton says, "Please Do Not Sit In Or Tap On Bubbles."  Oops!  My kids aren't very good at reading signs!

Kadyn and Easton

Watching the Whale Show.

Wet Ride!  Blair was crying more and more the closer we got to getting on the ride but she was all smiles at the end of the ride!  I got drenched since I basically threw my body on top of Blair to try and protect her as much as I could from the waterfall.  Yep, I totally forgot about that huge waterfall.  Oh well it kept me cool!

Blair's first ride all by herself!

Tired little babies!

Dyer and Valerie looking at the giraffes.

Dyer all smiles before the ride started!  He was trying to get off this thing as soon as it started going.

This is how this ride started:

Easton, Dyer, Kadyn, and Valerie 

Blair, Ashlyn, and Jacqui

(Notice Ashlyn throwing a tantrum.  She wanted to ride in the zebra truck)

 This is how the ride ended:

Easton, Dyer, and Valerie (I guess adults count as 2 kids so Kadyn had to move)

Blair and Kadyn!

Notice Ashlyn isn't on the ride.  Yep Jac took her off since she was throwing such a huge tantrum.

Video of Ashlyn throwing her tantrum:

Beside this little incident the day went rather well.  Haha Jac!

(Jacqui actually put this video on here so I'm not to blame).

Touching the sting rays.

Just take it little man!

Me, Mom, and Jac

Park Day with Gma and Child Family

My mom, sister, and my sister's kids came to visit for a week!  I love it when family comes to visit!  We had a great time and the week definitely went way too fast!  Thanks for making the long drive to come and see us!  Come again!  We miss you all!

Kadyn and Easton

Adisyn and Dyer

On Monday we went to a local park (Andrew's Park) aka the dragon park.

The whole crew minus my sister who was taking the picture.

Easton, Kadyn, Ashlyn, Blair, Dyer, me, Adisyn, and my mom.

Almost in birth order (Kadyn is actually 20 days older than Easton).  Easton and Kadyn 5, Ashlyn 4, Blair 3, Dyer 1, Adisyn almost 9 months.

Later that day Blair had gymnastics.  It was fun to have Gma come and watch Blair.

Video of Blair:

She was supposed to run, jump on the springboard, and then land on her feet.  She kept landing on her knees instead but the last time she at least fixed it herself without her coach telling her.  We've been practicing so she might actually do it correctly the next time they do it.

Video of Blair doing a somersault:

I love her huge smile and then her waving to me!  So cute!

Video of Blair walking like a supermodel:

After class we asked her teacher what the walk was all about and she said she told them to walk like a supermodel.  Neither one of the girls knew what a supermodel was but I guess this was Blair's interpretation of how a supermodel walks.

It's funny because I catch her every once in a while walking like this now!  I think I'm in trouble!

Video of Blair jumping on the trampoline:

See the foam pit this time?

Block Party

Our street had a block party this year and I was in charge of the cake.  My friend, Rachel, came over and taught me a few tricks, which was very helpful.  Thanks for helping Rachel!  Lot's of people on the street thought the cake looked great and were even asking if I decorate cakes for a living!  HAHA!  It must have been alright since I'm in charge of the cake next year!  I'll have to remember to make more cake (maybe cupcakes) next year.

The cake!

Blair in the bounce house!

Easton riding his bike

Video of Easton riding his bike:

I had to get a video of this because Easton riding his bike doesn't happen all that often.  With school starting soon I'm hoping he will want to ride his bike more often to and from school since we either have to walk, ride, or drive.  There are no buses for any of the elementary schools around here.

Blair on her bike!

Blair getting her face painted.

Unfortunately I have no pictures of Dyer since I really only brought my camera out and used it when he was taking his nap.  No worries though I was just outside our house and I had the baby monitor with me.

Children's Wonderland

My friend, Rachel, and I took our kids to Children's Wonderland.  Rachel's kids and my kids are all the same age.  It's really nice that each of my kids have a playmate and for the most part all the kids get along great (which is always a bonus)!

Blair and Hailey (Blair's about 5 months older than Hailey)

Blair 

I remember when I took the kids and their Kelsey cousins to this place 2 years ago and when I took a picture of all the kids in the tea cup I could only see the very top of Blair's head because she was so small.  It's crazy how fast they grow up.

 Dyer and Easton enjoying the train.

Easton driving the train.

Easton

Somehow I hardly took any pictures while there and I didn't get any of Easton and Bradley together (Easton's 1 month older than Bradley).

Video of Dyer and Chloe (Dyer is 1 1/2 months older than Chloe):

Dyer and Chloe usually get along but for some reason Chloe kept picking on Dyer.  I thought it was funny that Dyer just stood there crying and wouldn't do anything, so of course I had to film it.  

Chloe is actually very sweet and mellow so I'm not sure where this all came from.
