January 2013

This is what has been happening in our lives. I even have some pics!!

We celebrated Tai's birthday by going laser tagging and hanging out at Hollywood Connection.

We went to Las Vegas for a gymnastics competition for Jayda. This was her last level 5 competition (off-season). She got 1st place on Vault and Bars, and 2nd place all-around. She got her highest bar score ever with a 9.325

We also went to an aquarium where we saw lots of fish and stingrays, and also a mermaid!!

We ate with Jayda's team mates at the Rainforest Cafe in the MGM Grand. So fun!!

We also saw some celebrities: A couple of transformers and an M&M :)

It was so nice to get away from the snow for a few days. We had so much fun on our little trip.

I stand corrected

I just had a conversation with Jasmyn that went something like this:

Jasmyn: Look Mom, I found a penny!

Me: Wow, you're rich!

Jasmyn: *giving me a funny look* I'm not a witch, I'm Jasmyn. *walks away*

Why yes you are.

Jayda is an outgoing 6 year old, able to befriend all types of personalities. Our big first grader loves reading and writing stories. She wants to be an author and a librarian when she grows up. She also loves singing and performing--especially when it is one of the songs she wrote. She is a soccer player, a gymnast, a dancer, and a swimmer. She still loves Superman and tells us she wants to marry him someday (he is a common character in many of the stories that she writes). She loves her new baby sister, Jasmyn, and has been such a wonderful helper with her and Tai.

Tai is the middle child in our family.
One outstanding feature that Tai has is his unnaturally long eyelashes. At the hospital, Tai was famous. Nurses would come in to Jen's hospital room and instead of using her name, she would be referred to as the mother of the long-lashed baby. He is now an energetic 2 year old and a total mama's boy. You will hardly see him without a toy car/motorcycle/train in his hand. Often you will catch him belting out a rendition of Queens "We will, we will...ROCK YOU" or "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar. On the more sensitive side, he is always the first to offer to say a family prayer at the dinner table or before bed.
