Sea World

We had a great day at Sea World for Mother's Day. Ashlyn was finally tall enough to ride Atlantis, although I don't think she'll be riding it again anytime soon. She was brave through the whole thing, but said she didn't want to ride it again.

Last time we were at Sea World with Onna & Papa, the girls saw this fish and loved him. So they really wanted to go back and see him again.

They love to hold the starfish!

Jordyn's favorite thing to see is the stingray's. She would stay there all day if I let her. Darrick found one over in the corner that just sat there and let you pet him.

They were in heaven!

The girls are also tall enough to ride this ride all by themselves. Darrick and I were so happy, since it makes us both so sick and gives us a headache. Spin away girls...

Poor Jordy got stitches

I got the dreaded phone call from Joryn's school that she had bumped her head and probably needed stitches. I was so shaky and trying to think calmly about what to do. I got my neighbor to pick Ash up from pre-school and then picked up Jordy. She wasn't crying and was being so tough. She only started to cry when she said she wanted to call Daddy. Unfortunately Darrick was out of town in training meetings, so it was hard to get a hold of him. We had a horrible experience at Urgent Care when Ashlyn needed stitches, so I went to the ER. I used to think stitches were no big deal...now having gone through them with both my girls, I think it's horrible. They gave her numbing cream and started with the first stitch. She started crying and said it hurt really bad. The doctor said we can give her a shot, or just try to finish. I asked Jordy what she wanted to do and she said, just keep going. That's my brave girl, she's so tough!

Right after she got her 6 stitches at 6 years old.

Hopefully the scar will be hid in her eyebrow. Her eye turned a little red, purple, and yellow the next day. She just had the stitches removed and she did great for that. We'll wait for the steri strips to fall off now and then apply Mederma with sunscreen for the next 6 months to help the scar heal nicely. Hopefully this is the last time for stitches...I'm done!

Golfing With Daddy

Darrick took Jordy to the driving range with him and they both had a great time. He said she was really wanting to learn how to golf and was taking the time to listen and take direction well. So he bought her her own set of golf clubs. We all went together to watch her!

She was excited she could wear hers on her back, just like Daddy's.
Excited to ride in the golf cart

Jordyn wanted to take a picture of us.

This is how Ash would drive the cart. I would steer while she pushed the gas. She couldn't reach so she scooted all the way down, held on, and closed her eyes. She cracks me up!

♥Here are some video's of the girls golfing. If you only watch one, you gotta watch the last one♥

Emma's 1st Pedicure

Emma got her first pedicure today in preparation for her Cabo trip. Upon entering the store Emma clung tightly to her Mommy and started to cry. Jessi assured her everything was fine and they were going to get their toes done. As soon as the ladies walked her back to the pedicure chair, Emma was so upset and crying. At first Jessi didn't know why she was crying and then it dawned on her...she think's she's at the Doctor's Office (where she cries because she remembers that's where she gets her shots). The reason she thinks she's at the doctor's is because our children's doctor is Filipino. I think that is hilarious...poor Emma thinks she's surrounded by doctors who are going to give her shots. They had rubber gloves and all!

After Mommy's pedicure, she trusted she would be in good hands.
She held so still and just watched

Jordy's 1st day of Kindergarten at her new school

Jordyn started Kindergarten at her new school today. She was so excited! My good friend and neighbor (teaches Kindergarten at her school) helped her get into the same class as all of our neighbor's oldest girls. So she already had 3 friends that she knew and couldn't wait to get there!

Easter & Jordy's 6th Birthday

We were so excited to be in California for Easter and Jordy's 6th Birthday!!

Had to get a picture with the Easter Bunny!

Gavin just wanted to eat the crayons, but when you're that cute...you can do whatever you want!

Emma did so good trying to write on her eggs.

Easter Egg Hunt #2 at Philly and Jessi's

They were on a mission, didn't want to stop to smile for the camera

This precious one was just looking for a place to lay down, she was quite the trooper!

The Edison boys sure do make cute girls...

Emma's counting her money from the egg hunt!

Now it's time to sing Happy Birthday! Jordy was so excited her birthday was on Easter this year. She doesn't like cake, so she finally picked brownies...then didn't even eat one. We should've just put candles on biscuits or garlic bread!!

Jordy shares her birthday with Darrick's Grandma, Meme!

*Here's some video's of the day*

Ashlyn calls Hershey Kisses, "Hershey Kershey's" and I just love when she says it!

Easter Egg Hunt

Onna and Papa got Jordy an electric scooter for her birthday! She loves it and is a little too comfortable on it. She's a dare devil!!

WE'RE MOVING!!!!!!

This moving company will be here in 6 days to pack us up and move us back home. We are so excited and on the countdown! Can't wait to be down the street from Philly, Jessi, and Emma and I can't wait to be just houses away from my 3 favorite people and my girls best friends!! Not to mention all of our other family and friends that will be within 15 minutes of us, we are on cloud 9 right now.
