Dance Competition #1

My baby girl has her first competitive dance competition this weekend.

Its going to be an all day event and I'm sure that I am going to be exhausted when its all said and done with.

I can honestly say that I am looking forward to it though!!

All I can think about is how much she has grown in the last 2 years and the fact that she is so smart and knows what she is doing. She has really shown me how into dance that she is and shows so much promise.

She is constantly practicing and asking questions to be sure that she is doing everything right!

She tries so hard and makes sure that she does it just right every time that she gets the chance.

I am so proud that she is my daughter and I can not wait to share with everyone how she does! I look forward to posting this weekend letting you all know!

Wish her luck!

Serenity has a Ballet date!

I just dropped Serenity off at Ballet and finally got to meet BFF Mayan. She is such a sweet little girl. Serenity started talking about her a few weeks after school started and then she started Ballet and she is also in her Ballet class with her. So we had the parade this weekend as well and they were in the parade together and got to sit with each other too.
So Mayan's mom asked my husband if she could go to the Nutcracker Ballet with her because she lets her daughter take a friend every year. So of course I said yes. I am so excited for her!
She is excited too! I am so glad that she is making friends on her own, not that I didn't think that she would, just that I am glad she did.

Gentlemen Start Your Engines!!!

Well like I had said in the previous post we went with friends to the races tonight.

We ALL had a blast too!
The kids had so much fun. Let's just say that they were definitely spoiled today to say the least!
We had a great time with the bestest of friends and cant wait to do it again!

racing

I am looking forward to tonight and getting out of the house for a bit.
We are headed to the race track here in Corpus and I haven't been since I was a kid to a race there.
I went a few months ago but just for a meet and greet and that was it.
So its like going again for the first time. I am going to try and take as many pictures as I can.

We will be heading there with a few friends and we are taking the kids with us as well.

I look forward to it!

A Boy and his Cars

Andrew loves playing with his Hat Wheel cars.

For some reason this blue and gold one is his Favorite.

I just had to catch him in action...

He just can't get enough of these things. I think that I am going to go crazy when he turns 4 and just buy a whole lotta' Hot Wheels.

All about Andrew?

OK so If you haven't noticed yet; I have been talking about Andrew allot lately.
Well he will be turning 4 in December so I will probably be talking about him allot.

I am excited yet it tells me that my baby is growing up and that scares me to a point.

I will be posting about more than him, but that is the reason that I am posting so much about him.
Just giving the heads up!

These are some big shoes to fill

Freshly Squeezed...

Since all this crud has been happening with my kidney's I am no longer "aloud" to have anything to drink other than water. And there inst anything that I am "aloud" to add to it for flavoring other than LEMON...

So I did my usual today and added my LEMON to my water and left the lemon on the counter thinking that it was OK...
Well a few minutes later my son sits next to me with lemon remains in hand and starts to eat whats left of the freshly squeezed fruit.I decided to grab my camera and snap a few shots of the faces that he was making because as we all know, Lemon is sour!!! *;)
(just look at that sour face...LOL!)

Today was also Serenity's first day in her "NEW" Ballet class. It's better where she is at now, because she is not only doing Ballet, but she is doing Tap and Acro as well.
She did so well and couldn't wait to come home and demonstrate what all she did in class to me. I am so proud of her and the accomplishments that she is making. The teacher said that she picked up very quickly with the tap and even asked if she had any previous training because she did so well with it. (which she hasn't) She was in Ballet with another company in town, but with the way that things are lately it is better where she is now, because we don't have to drive almost 30 minutes just to get her there worrying if she is going to fall asleep in the back seat due to the fact that she has school all day and gets worn out fast.
Here are a few pictures that I took of Serenity trying to show me what she did today and her all dressed and ready to go.she is wearing as sticker that she earned for doing so well.

Special Reminder's

When I think about my daughter I think about Elephants as well.

My daughter Serenity has had this elephant for a while now and refuses to go anywhere without it. I like that she uses it and has something to comfort her when I cant.
When it comes to my son, well he has an attatchment to this blanket with trains on it. He calls it his "CHOO CHOO" blankey. He has had it since Birth. His grandmother made it for him and he hardly ever lets me take it away long enough to wash it.

Wednesday Morning Rush

So thankfully I am starting to feel a bit better.
I am in no way out of the woods, but I feel better and that's what counts right now.
I still have to go back in 2 months for another checkup and of course the surgery to remove the sting that they put in last week, but overall I am just happy that I am not in pain right now.

Serenity has school pictures today and she also has Ballet to night.
I am sitting here waiting for Connor and Danielle to get here.
Danielle has a Dr's. appointment and has to go through the 3 hour glucose test and its just not suitable for Connor to have to sit there for three hours while momma has to go through tests.

I am definitely going to have to take a short nap today after he leaves because it was a long night and I had to get up earlier today than usual. I am definitely looking forward to my head hitting the pillow either then or tonight.

Andrew even woke up earlier this morning and is in such a great mood.
Today was Serenity's turn to take snack at school so she wanted to take Vanilla Wafers and juice boxes. Daddy decided to take them to school and give them to the teacher rather than they end up being left on the bus or even worse spilled or accidentally opened up.

So far that is my day, but all in all I guess that I wouldn't have it any other way!
