Movies with Emma

We got to take Emma with us the movies and we had such a fun time! You would never know she's only 2 1/2. She fits right in with our girls. She acts like she's 5. Not one peep throughout the movie and just goes with the flow.

After the movie we went to get dinner. The balloon guy came by and made Emma a pink poodle!Ash got a crazy hat Emma loved watching him make them Oh those eyes...how can you resist that face? Emma loved Jordy's elephant hat

We loved our time we got with her. All the girls had a blast together! On the way home Darrick did "jets". He's done this with the girls since they were little. He rolls down all the windows at once and pretends to go really fast.
So here are some video's of "jets"




Emma very first time doing "jets"




After she would always say, "You do it again Uncle Darrick"

Here are the girls dancing...you can see why Emma cracks us up!

HAVASU

It's that time of year again...time for our favorite place...Havasu!! Last year we went with our friends Paul and Julie and their 2 boys and they loved it so much they decided to make it an annual vacation!
Jordy, Justin, & Ash
Paul, Ryan, & Julie
The kids so excited to jump in!
Jordy waterskiing...I wasn't able to get a picture of her actually skiing because I was holding the rope...bummer!
This duck hopped on for a ride around the lake and the kids thought it was the greatest thing!
Justin waterskiing for the first time
Swimming in the lake
The kids loved tubing. Last year we had a 2 person tube and whoever wasn't on it could hardly wait for their turn. So this year we bought a 4 person tube and it was PERFECT!
Everyone was happy!
Fun in the sun!!

Video's of the kiddos tubing...

Super Citizenship

Jordyn got a Super Citizenship award at school today for being very responsible and well mannered.
We are so proud of her!!

Preschool Graduation

I can't believe my baby is in Kindergarten now. She is sooo ready for it, but I'm not. She is so excited to go to school everyday.
Waiting for the program to start
Her teacher asked her what she wants to be when she grows up. She said she wants to be a teacher. Then she told me after that she wants to be a teacher so she can make all the rules! That's my Ash!!
Onna, Papa, Meme & the girls
Neighborhood friends since they were born
Ashlyn's BFF
Nana, Auntie Kelsie and us
Ashlyn with her graduation hat, sunglasses & purse that Nana got her. Graduating in style!

Funny story that happened the next day...

Ashlyn: "Mommy can you buy me a surprise today?"

Me: "No, were not going to get anything today"

Ash: "But it's my special day"

Me: "Your special day was yesterday"

Ash: "Yah but I'm still a graduationer"

Happy Graduation Day to my little "Graduationer"

Universal Studios

Darrick has been wanting to take the girls to Universal Studios for awhile now. We finally planned it and boy has it changed in the last 10 years since we've been there. We got annual passes since the girls enjoyed it so much!
On the tour of the Universal Studios lot
Jordyn loved this ride. They went on it 3 times! There's a video at the end of this post!
Jordyn said take my picture Mommy...then started posing with all this stuff.
Again, Jordyn said...take my picture like this. I thought Auntie Jessi would enjoy this picture!
They were pretending to be mannequin's in the window...people were laughing at them.
Happy to get balloon animals after dinner
Day 2 of Univeral Studios
After the girls took this picture, Darrick walked up to pretend that he wanted his picture taken just to be funny, then he said, "just kidding" and walked away. E.B. grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled him back to his spot and posed for this picture. The girls were laughing so hard that E.B. did that to him.
Donkey was all of our favorite there! He talked to the kids and he's hilarious. There's a video below also. He remembered the girls from the day before and they loved that! We love when he says "CHEESE"
One of the dogs in the movie "Hotel for Dogs"
We were having lunch and Ashlyn insisted on having her picture taken with these dancers. Frilly dresses and make-up...right up her alley!
