LaGoOn...it's what FUN is!

I know you are probably getting so sick of Cheer and competitions, but this is the last one of the year. And it's hard not to post about it because I want to remember them all since this was Jaydyn's first year being a little cheerleader. But Jaydyn and Saydey both danced at Lagoon as well so it was a lot of fun! The girls did awesome at their cheer routine! They have got it down by now...they should at least!! They do for sure! They just get better and better!

Getting ready to start...

Jaydyn performed her Cheer routine at 9:15 and then had her dance routine at 9:35 so we had to do a quick change which was a little stressful, but they were running a little behind so that helped. And then Saydey danced at 12:30 so in between Jaydyn and Saydey we rode a couple rides which was great. But here is cute Saydey's performance with her cousin Baylee. They did so awesome. Saydey did her dance perfect! She is getting so good and it was so fun to finally watch Saydey girl do her thing! I just LOVE her!

Jaydyn also nailed her dance performance! She did so good and was singing along with the song and everything! It was so cute. This will be her last year in dance I think since she wants to stick with cheer and do gymnastics as well. They do go hand in hand! I am keeping Saydey in dance and gymnastics though. So we will see! I am just so proud of my girls and all the hard work they put into their little practices and going when they were so tired or whatever. They are just awesome! Every time they perform I get teary eyed...maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, I don't know, but it is just precious!!

Watching the other dances while waiting their turn...

I love this picture of Jaydyn's leap...to bad it's a little blurry.

Now for the rides. Of course they had a blast riding all the rides. Vaughn and Julie and Jenn and Shaun came and they were tons of help. They rode all the bigger kid rides with our kids and took them to do tons of stuff! It was a huge help. They couldn't get to the next ride fast enough. Karston was in ride heaven. He just kept saying another ride, another ride! So they had a blast which is what it is all about. Jay even won the girls their own huge monkeys by shooting some hoops! They loved it. I wish I got a picture because they are pretty cute! Ahhhh...so much fun, but so much work! So worth it though. We sure wore them out because they all crashed on the way home within five minutes. It was great!!

Waiting in line for the next ride...

We love going every year to the biggest dance competition in America...we have been going for four years now and I am sure there are many more in our future!!

GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!

More CHEER Competitions...

Jaydyn had two more competitions. One at Juan Diego High School and one at Taylorsville High. She did great at both! She had lots of family come support her at Juan Diego which made it even more fun for her. Her cousins thought she did so awesome and were in Ahh! It was fun to watch! She nailed every part in her routine and I am so proud of her. I can't believe how busy these little competitions keep us. They sure are fun.

Getting ready to come on

This picture is funny because it was so packed so Jay took the two kids to sit on the side, but I had the camera so I waited until a spot opened up that was closer...so I took this of Jay and the kids with their red balloons. You couldn't miss em.

Karston....

Oh my gosh...this is what this little girl did the whole time we were there. It was one of the worst fits I have seen this girl through. I knew she was capable, I just wasn't ready for it. I look at this picture and it breaks my heart, but at the time I was so mad and tryed to laugh it off. We have to be about an hour to an hour and a half early to all of Jaydyn's competetions and that is hard with two little kids...trying to entertain them and what not. Saydey was not having it from the second we got there. She wanted Jay to carry her, as did Karston. So I hauled one of them around while Jay with the other plus everything else I had...camera, make-up, purse, Ipad and whatever else was around. It wasn't fun and very tiring for a pregnant mom and dad which both kids wanted. I ended up dragging Saydey around because she wouldn't walk and my arms were done...I left her crying in the middle of the room so she thought I had left her which I didn't, I could see her, she just couldn't see me. No that did not even phase her. I had calmed her down once where she finally told me she didn't know why she was crying. We got a little break then off to fits and tears again...I couldn't calm her down this time. She just kept telling me she was tired and that is why she was in tears. Once Jayd was done, she wanted nachos...that's all she wanted so we sat at a table and got her some food where Karston or Saydey...who really knows dumped a root beer all down Jaydyn's uniform and got her so sticky. I am just glad that happened after the performance. Once we finally got into the car with one upset little girl...I broke down. I honestly did not know what to do with my little girl who I LOVE so much, but who I wanted to beat so bad! She was so rotten!! I was thinking what a horrible mom I was and I felt bad for Saydey because Jaydyn was getting all this attention...I just had so many emotions going through me. Jay...well he was just mad! It was just a rough rough day for little miss Saydey and the parents. When we got home Saydey went to her bedroom, which she was fine with to calm down. I sat next to her door so she couldn't come out while she was trying to calm down. Then she needed a tissue so I let her blow her nose and she told me she had a tummy ache and I asked her why she would have a stomach ache. She said because she was crying so much. So she layed on her bed and once she had calmed down Jay and I each took a turn talking with her. She told both of us she didn't like all the people there...because there was so many people at that place...and she was throwing a mad fit so people were staring and she said she didn't like that. So maybe she has a little anxiety with big crowds like her dad and maybe it was because Jaydyn was getting so much attention. Either way I was sad for her even though she was being so naughty but hopefully she learned she cannot act that way and get her way! We will see. She did much better and the next one lets just say that!

At the awards. Jaydyn and I just went to the awards since it was at ten o clock at night and Saydey had had a long day and so had the rest of us...so it was just us. And Illuzion did awesome! Jaydyn't division took first and Illuzion Dance ended up winning best overall and a bunch of other awards which was cool! So I am proud of my little Illuzion Cheerleader!!!!

..::Easter::..

Yes...I am so behind in blogging and I really don't know why. I just am. But we did celebrate Easter this year. We started with a little Easter Egg hunt and BBQ the Saturday before Easter with some of the cousins. We just did it in my backyard since the weather wasn't that great. They loved every second of it though. It was fun to watch them all especially the little ones.

Easter morning...early since our church is at 9 am the kids woke up to their Easter "baskets". I hate buying cheap baskets so I did little containers this time to store some of their stuff. They each got a swimming suit and swim towl, an outfit, and the girls got lunch boxes they have wanted forever and Karst got his dinosaur of course! They didn't get as much candy this year since we have spent a fortune at the dentist this year getting mouths full of silver teeth. Well, Jaydyn has three silver teeth and Saydey has two right now and one more coming. (Stupid juice) So I was glad the Easter bunny didn't leave them too much sugar! They didn't seem to mind either. They were happy with their presents. They also searched for the eggs they dyed. That was their favorite part of it all. Karston did so good and knew exactly what was going on.

I am so mad that I didn't get a picture of all of them in their Easter outfits. I got one of Karston, but none of the girls. I didn't have time before church and the second they walked in the door their cute Easter dresses were off. I will have to get one of them in them anyway because they are just too cute not too. After church, we went to my dads for a little BBQ and then came home and relaxed the rest of the night. So I would say we had a great Easter!
