We went to Lagoon with my family last Monday. It was great! My uncle, Ron, and all his family went, too, which brought back fond memories of my childhood. The weather was perfect!
Sienna did not go to Lagoon. I thought she'd be happier playing with her grandma Peggy. Corey had to work (but secretly despises Lagoon), so it was just me and Aubrey. Aubrey was very happy to see her cousins and she wanted to be where ever they were. Sadly, the first ride I took her on just happened to be probably the scariest ride in the whole kiddy park. It was the kid's equivalent to the Rocket. She was so willing to ride it so I thought she'd be fine and she was until we went super high. Then she hid her eyes with one hand and said "scary, scary," but she never cried. However, this was the end of rides for her. She wouldn't even ride the little whales, spaceships, not even the little boats. She absolutely hated the carrousel. She loved the train and I actually took her with me on Rattlesnake Rapids. I think she only rode it because her cousins were riding it with us. All she said after that was, "I'm wet!" Overall, I think she had fun. Lagoon is so much different when you have kids. It's a different kind of fun. It's like being there for the first time again. I really had a very fun time with Aubrey and with my family. It's something I look forward to every year!
Aubrey would not look at the camera for anything!
She didn't want to ride any rides, but she loved shopping. I let her get this frog and it was in pieces by the end of the day. Darn that cheep Lagoon merchandise!
I didn't notice before, but you can totally see the terror on her face.
I think the best part of Lagoon for Aubrey was when she played in a puddle with her cousin, Iven. I didn't even care that she was getting dirty and wet. Hey, she's finally having fun.
Start of Summer
- Part Two -
Me and my girls went to the zoo a few weeks ago with Corey's sister, Brandi, and her boy, Daxton, and my sister Samantha and her little boy, Canon. It was another perfect day. It wasn't too hot or cold. Most of the animals were out where you could see them. Aubrey loved it! It was funny because Aubrey called the giraffe Melman and the zebra Marty from the movie Madagascar and it just so happened that the zoo theme this year is Madagascar. Aubrey actually enjoyed riding the carrousel at the zoo, unlike at Lagoon where she practically ripped my head off trying to get off the ride.
Hey, Melman!
Aubrey loved the map of the zoo more than anything else. It's cute because she looked at it a lot after we went to the zoo and it brought back memories for her. She would really like to go again. Who can blame her? The zoo's the best!
We are so proud of our little Aubrey. We have been potty training for what feels like forever and she has finally gone two days accident free. For some weird reason Aubrey wants to go to Lagoon again, so we promised her we would go to Lagoon if she would learn to go potty on the toilet. I even made her a chart so she could see her progress. I didn't really think it would work but now she is a potty pro. Miracles do happen. Way to go, Aubrey!
Sienna is getting so big. I took Sienna to the doctor last week and he said to get her on solids right away because her weight is low. I thought she was looking pretty good to me, but I'm not a doctor. So that same day we gave her some cream-of-wheat because that's all we had. Corey had a super fun time feeding it to her. She liked eating it, but she had a pretty hard time getting it down. It all pretty much came out her mouth before she could swallow it. 
I had to throw a few pictures of Aubrey in. She actually looked at the camera and smiled long enough to get a few decent pictures. She's been sick lately, so I'm really looking forward to end of the cold/flu season. 
I also had to throw in a few pictures of our yard. We took these a few weeks ago, before it snowed again. This is just a sample of what we ( and by we I mean Corey ) has to look forward to this spring. Lots and lots and lots of branches. Piles of 'em. I should have taken a before and after shot because Corey did an amazing job raking them up. I'm not pregnant this year so I don't have a real good excuse not to help in the yard this year. SUPER! I can't wait!

Doesn't the Venetian look awesome?! I would love to visit Vegas again.
Aubrey stayed with Grandma Peggy. Mandy, Caden's fiancee, gave aubrey a mermaid costume and Aubrey wouldn't take it off. I think Sienna and Aubrey had lots of fun. I know Aubrey did because, even though she was excited to see me, she really wasn't too excited to go home. That is, until I told her we were going to see Dad. Corey stayed home. He was real sick with a cold and the flu. Poor kid. 
Happy, adorable, little Sienna! I really missed my girls!
