Memorial Day weekend.

We had alot of fun this last weekend. On Saturday we went to Sam's house to swim and have a bbq. Jamie, Jaidyn and I swam for hours. Sam swam with us on and off. She was trying to get some stuff done in the house though. Eric and Colin came over right before we ate. Colin hates swimming and Eric doesn't really like to swim either, so they just came over to eat. We also invited my dad to eat with us. I hadn't seen him since his birthday party, so it was nice to see him. We left Sam's house and Eric, Jamie, the kids and I headed to Alamo. We decided to go up on Saturday night and stay the night and then come home on Sunday evening. We spent most of the day being lazy and eating good food. I always love being in Alamo, but I was also glad to come home and sleep in my own bed. On Monday Jamie came over and her and I went to the fashion bug. I let Jaidyn come with us, but she was so naughty that I brought her home when we were done there and wouldn't let her come to lunch with us. We went and ate at Macayo's and it was really good as usual. After eating all that mexican food, we came back to my house and relaxed for a couple of hours. Then we went to the gym. Going to the gym after eating mexican food is not a good idea, even if you do wait a couple of hours. Jamie and i both felt sick by the time we were done working out. Our pool should be ready to swim in by this weekend. Well hopefully the water is warm enough. I can't wait to start swimming in it. The only thing that sucks is that Colin doesn't like going in the water at all, so we can't all swim at the same time. One of us will have to stay in the house with Colin. Eric doesn't like to swim much anyways, so I am sure he will hang out with Colin. I know Jaidyn will be excited when we can start swimming because she loves being in the water. She is scared to go past the steps, but she just loves being in the water. Here are a few pictures from this last weekend.

I am now officially a member of

Las Vegas Athletic Club. I had been thinking about joining for a while because Jamie is a member and she really likes working out there. She said she would drive over here so that we could go to the one by my house to work out together. I kept going back and forth about whether or not I wanted to join and i told her no. Mostly because I was afraid of joining and then not wanting to work out and wasting our money. Well I finally decided that I was going to join because I really need to get into shape. We went and worked out for the first time yesterday and I love it. I thought I would feel too uncomfortable working out in front of other people, but it didn't even bother me. I am glad I joined and i am glad Jamie and I can go together. Jamie bought me an ipod as an early birthday present. My birthday isn't until September, but she knew I wanted one and offered to buy it for me. So of course I took her up on it.lol I am excited for that too because I downloaded a bunch of good songs and now I will have something to listen to while I work out. Yesterday Jamie and I decided to go to the movies. We met at Town Square and saw the movie Obsessed. I thought it was pretty good. It is definitely a movie that I could watch again. I am looking forward to this weekend. Eric will have 3 days off and we are going to Sam's house on Saturday to swim and have a bbq with some of the family. I am looking forward to the swimming part. It has been so hot out and even though we have a pool of our own, it isn't warm enough to swim in yet. It probably won't be warm enough to swim in for at least a couple of weeks.

Disneyland

We left for Disneyland a little after 7:00 on Sunday morning. We got into Anaheim at about 11:15 and headed to Burger King to get some lunch before going to Disneyland. We got to Disneyland and it was so crowded. I knew it would be, but I didn't care because I knew we got to spend two more days there. We bought annual passes, so we are able to get into Disneyland park and California Adventure. We had never been to California Adventure before. As soon as we got to Disneyland, we went and got our pictures taken for our annual passes. After that, we headed straight to California Adventure. It was fun. We went on rides we had never been on before and got to see things we had never seen before. The park was open until midnight on Sunday, but there was no way we could stay that late. In fact we ended up leaving there by 5 or a little after. It was hot and the kids were exhausted. Colin had been very onery all day. We headed to Red Robin right after that. We sat there for 15 minutes and noone had even come to take our drink order. It wasn't even busy, so I think our waiter just forgot about us. I don't know how he could being as Colin seriously screamed his head off the entire time. So finally Eric got up and went and told someone that we hadn't been helped yet. We finally got our order taken and it seems like it took forever. Probably because Colin was still screaming his head off and Jaidyn kept trying to climb over the booth to the table behind her. After we ate, we ran across the street to target to pick up some milk and bottled water. Then we went and checked into our hotel. I really like the hotel we stayed at because you don't have to pay to park, plus you don't have to walk really far with all your bags like we have at a few places we have stayed at before. Once we got into our hotel room, the kids were no longer onery. I don't know what it is about hotels, but they love being in hotels. We woke up early Monday and got to the park an hour before it opened. I am glad we did because we got an awesome parking spot. We hardly had to walk at all to get to the tram. We got to go on a bunch of rides and hardly had to wait in line at all. I think the longest we had to wait was about 10 minutes and that was only for 1 ride. All the other rides were much shorter lines. By about 2:30 we decided to head back to the hotel because it was very hot and the kids were being very onery. Once we got back to the hotel, we decided to go swimming in the hotel pool. I read online before we got there that they had a heated pool, so I took our swimming suits along. Then we decided to eat at Red Robin once again. Nothing else sounded good for dinner and Red Robin has a good selection for everyone. Thankfully on Tuesday night we got in and out really quick and Colin didn't cry at all. On Tuesday we woke up and got ready, packed all our stuff, checked out of our hotel and headed to disneyland. We got there an hour early again, so we had awesome parking once again. On Tuesday we hardly had to wait in line for anything. Eric and Jaidyn went on the Pirates ride and walked right on, they didn't have to wait in line at all. We had a hard time leaving that day because we were having so much fun. Finally about 1:30 we got out of there. We drove straight home without making one stop and got home by 5:30. I am so glad we ended up buying the season passes. I loved being able to go to Disneyland for 3 days in a row and the kids really seemed to have enjoyed it too. Here are a few pictures from our trip.

A house full of sick people

Starting on Monday, Jaidyn had been telling me that her stomach hurt. I didn't really believe her because she was still eating really good and running around like usual. I just thought maybe she was saying it to get attention. So anyways she kept telling me that and then all of a sudden on Wednesday out of nowhere, she threw up all over the place. From then on, she kept on throwing up all afternoon. Finally by the time we went to bed, she had nothing left to throw up. Colin had thrown up on Monday morning, but hadn't thrown up since and he had been acting fine too. He did have alot of diarrhea and he would hardly eat anything all week. On Wednesday night before I went to bed, my stomach started to hurt and I was thinking great, I just know I am getting what Jaidyn has. Sure enough I woke up in the middle of the night feeling like I needed to throw up. The only problem was that Eric was already in the bathroom throwing up. Good thing I had taken a pan upstairs for Jaidyn to throw up in since she can't make it to the bathroom in time. I had that to throw up in since Eric was already in the bathroom. Thankfully I only got sick a few times and that was it. Eric was in the bathroom almost all night long getting sick. I felt so bad for him. We woke up on Thursday and we both felt so sick still. He had to go into work for a little while since it was the last day of the month and he had reports to do. He went in for a couple of hours and got those done and came home. His mom came over around noon so that Jaidyn and I could go upstairs to rest and she watched Colin for me. It was nice to get in that nap because it really made me start to feel better. Eric and I woke up on Friday and felt all better. Jaidyn hadn't thrown up in a while, but she still looked so awful. She was so pale and had dark circles under her eyes. Plus I couldn't get her to pee. She was seriously only peeing once every 24 hours even though she seemed like she was drinking plenty of fluids. We had planned on going to Alamo with Jamie and since Jaidyn was feeling better, I decided we would still go up. We got there and Jaidyn had been doing good. Then all of a sudden she got sick. I think its because she hadn't eaten in a few days and she drank a whole bunch of pop. I thought the pop might help her stomach, but obviously it didn't. After that, she didn't get sick again and is much better now. I feel bad because now Jamie and my mom are both sick. I am not sure if they got sick from us or from Tyson or Ryan because they have also been sick with the stomach flu. Either way, it sucks that they are sick now. I had a good time in Alamo. I was glad that we got to go up there. It's always nice to visit with my mom. We leave for Disneyland in a week and I can't wait. I need to go to target this week and get all the travel things I always buy to take with us. I also need to catch up on all my laundry before we go. I am always good about keeping up on it, but since I was sick and then went to Alamo for a couple of days, I have alot of it to do. So Jamie is always telling me about the gym she goes to and that she really likes it. Well I really need to get into shape because I am in really bad shape. We bought that elliptical machine and I used it for a while and then stopped. So anyways Jamie told me that if I wanted to join, but didn't want to go alone that she would drive over here a few times a week to go with me. She goes to Las Vegas Athletic Club and there is one just a few mintues from my house. So after I get back from Disneyland, I am going to join and we are going to start going together. I am excited for that. I think that if I have someone to go with, that will make me go. If I was going by myself, I am afraid that I wouldn't make myself go.
