Duey

I thought by now the novelty would have worn off but am happy to report Duey and Lei are inseperatable. If this goes on long enough I may think I got my money's worth. These two skate all day. She pats him like a real dog and gives him food and water.




I thought these were cute. Lei helping me.

Visiting Orange County...

AND THE TRIP BEGINS...

THE KIDS SLEPT ON THE PLANE THERE AND BACK. EASY FLIGHT ONCE YOU GET THRU SECURITY. THAT IS THE STRESSFUL PART.


SONDRA'S LITTLE GIRL AND LEI HAD FUN TOGETHER. ALTHOUGH MY CHILD GOT A LITTLE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE END. SORRY! LEI WAS REALLY GOOD AT "PRETENDING TO NOT BE FRIENDS" GAME.

BEACH BONFIRE AND SMORE MAKIN' FUN-YUM!






KALEIA HAD HER FIRST HAIRCUT WHILE WE WERE DOWN THERE.





LEI WAS REALLY BRAVE WHILE SHE MET THE GORILLA AT THE RAINFOREST CAFE.

Second week of dance for Lei and it went soo much better then last week.
Last week
I got lost getting there-I HAVE MET A NEW LOW; I CAN MANAGE TO GET LOST WITH A BUILT IN NAVIGATION SYSTEM! Kaleia thought everything was a race. They had them doing different dance moves across the floor that she didn't pay attention to, she only cared if she was FIRST to the other side of the room. The teacher kept telling them to sit on their "stars" on the floor and wait their turn, so what does my child do? Pick up her star and move it to where she wants to be and sits down on it. Showing the entire class want not to do as they all followed her lead.
This week
It was not a race! She listened and followed directions. Although she insisted on being the leader of the line to the trampoline, getting in front of the teacher. She imitated the dance moves, and was first to answer questions yelling over the the children that were being asked...yes I have THAT child.

what the crap she kept WES!!!

Batchelorette input-
WHAT THE CRAP JILIAN KEPT WESS!!!! And seriously, there is NO future with cute Mike the break dance teacher. And poor Jake, however I think he just wants to be married to a wife and Jillian would just do. I think it will come down to Jesse and Kyptin. Unless her loins are steering her and Wes makes it that far. Anyone want to come to my finale batchelorette party?

Okay, I LOVE stupid reality t.v. Yes; I am one of those that contribute to the ratings of this ridiculous phenomenon. My newest addition to the DVR is....BRIDEZILLA. Okay this show is so entertaining. You watch spoiled immature outrageous girls plan their wedding. A must see.

The newlyweds:
Not that great but when you can fast forward worth while if you need to kill some time. There is a mormon couple that are cute and normal. Known as, "virgins when they got married."

So you think you can dance?-NO one really stands out for me. Every week it is different.

Jon and Kate plus 8-Soo sad. I think it is time for them to end their show though, I mean come on! I really felt that Kate wanted to work at it but Jon was done and didn't want to even try.

Okay I need to stop cuz it is pretty sad that watch all these and could keep going...
