Reagan Lagoon Day!

Today was Reagan Lagoon Day! Thanks Reagan for spoiling us with free passes, free games and free food! Kelly didn't win anything at the raffle, but our friend Andrea won a iPod Nano and Mike won a 27" T.V., which he then traded with someone for a Wii. It was great fun!!

The girls had a great time! Although they only went on two rides, they LOVE to people watch. The girls weren't brave enough to go on the small rides by themselves, so we settled for the train and the carousel. The girls take after their father and never smile in photos for me. But I was able to snap a few!

Cute pictures!!

Now for my rants...

I had a selfish moment tonight. But then I stop and realize that the only thing that matters and should matter is my girls happiness. Yea, I didn't go on any rides but my girls had fun! They love being out in public where they can run around and scream. Do I wish I was able to just do whatever I wanted? Yea, kind of. But my girls smiles and giggles are worth so much more. Am I a little upset that Kelly got to stay late and enjoy himself while I had to get the girls home and get them to bed? Yes, I am.

I'm at the point right now where I feel that WE need to change because of the girls. I mean, shouldn't we? We are a family now. If I'm going to go somewhere, the girls go with me. Therefore, plans will have to change since we have children. Sometimes I get jealous that Kelly still has a "friend" life and gets to enjoy himself. I have a few friends that I would love to get together with, but I don't. Not because I don't want to, but life is different now. My girls come first, end of story.

Kelly has a friend Mike that is getting married in less then a month and it's up in Sun Valley, Idaho. I'd love to go as a family, because that is what we are. But Kelly wants us to leave the girls at home so that we can enjoy ourselves for a weekend. Why do I think that is wrong? I don't know... It's just an inner battle that I have with myself. I put my girls first and I know that I need to take time for myself, I just don't.

Hopefully I'll find a happy medium somewhere. Sorry for the rambling, I guess I just needed to get it out! It was a fun time, I would have enjoyed to go on some rides, but I guess there is always next year!

Hope all is well with all! I'll try to post more, the girls have been so cute lately!

My Ballerina & Hip Hop Dancer

Maybe it's all the SYTYCD we've been watching lately or maybe it's in their genes... but my girls have got some moves! They've always loved to dance and I've recorded it several times. It's amazing at what they pick up. The other day, Ella started to twirl in circles with her hands in the air, almost like a ballerina! So I decided to record! She is so cute! She'll get dizzy and want to keep dancing, but she falls down a few times. Avie joins in the fun, but she is more of a hip hop dancer. She stomps and shakes back and forth. 

I love watching these girls and I find it amazing! that they now how to dance and when!

My next video will be Avie's "Oh No You Didn't." Maybe this weekend!
