Saturday Morning Cartoons

Danik loves cartoons. So he is very excited when it is not a school day and he is able to watch cartoons. Beya will usually have nothing to do with the TV, but occasinaly will watch bits and pieces of WordWorld.

Cupcake Monster

My friends and I trade dinner everyweek. So I cook 1 time a week for 3 families and then they do the same. It's great. So yesterday I made cupcakes, Beya and Danik kept asking for one. Beya kept screaming and pointing so I finally gave in and gave her one.

The Carribean

Zach and I went to the carribean. It was so much fun we took a 7 day western carribean cruise. We flew out on saturday night at midnight and got into Atlanta for a 3 hour lay over. Then arrived in Orlando at 8 am rented a car and drove to Cape Canerval. We boarded the boat after 6 lines that you have to wait in. And we took a shower and went to bed. Then we went to the lifejacket/lifeboat drill. The first day was at sea, the Second day was Labadee Hati, we played on the beach and in the ocean all day. It was so fun to be with Zach and we were not missing the kids at all. The 3rd day was Jamaica, we sea kayaked to Dunn falls and then climbed the falls. I love the sea kayaking, and climbing the falls was fun. The 4th day was Grand Cayman, we went suba diving. I did not know but they weight you down so you can actually suba dive, well my mask did not fit properly and I kept getting a little bit of water in the mask and then I would breath it in and then I would panic. So I snorkled. It was a lot of fun their were 6ft long fish in the water, we saw the reef, not very colorful. A Tropical depression was comming in 6 hours so most of the fish were out deeper in the water. Then did some shopping about 1 hour and then had to board the boat. The last stop was Cozumel. We docked and then we got on a boat and went to the Yucatan 10 miles south of Cancun. This was our favorite part. We went and saw Tulum, then had lunch at a resturant on the beach and then we swam in the ocean. we loved it and did not want to leave.We got back to the boat just in time. Then the last day was at sea. That was when we started missing the kids. We docked at 7 am, we got up showered ate breakfast, got off the boat and rented a car and drove to Tampa to see my Aunt and Uncle. Went to dinner with my Grandpa and then stayed the night in Orlando. We flew first class, I felt like a snot, andthey feed you lunch in first class, and you get drinks 3 or 4 times. and they pass out snacks twice and not just peanuts, you get your choice of 3 or 4 things. When we got home the kids were so excited. I picked up Beya and see kissed me 3 times right in a row. Very Fun. Look forward to Cabo in March!!!

Halloween

Danik and I have spent a lot of time talking about what he wants to be for halloween. So we went to Target, and the first costume he sees he must have so he got a Ghost Rider costume. We went to the Treehouse enchantd forest, Danik was spiderman, and Beya was Cindy-lou-who. We had a trunk or treat and Danik was The Thing, Beya was Snow white. For the Chatelain Halloween party Danik was Batman, and Beya was a cheerleader/snow white. Danik had a Halloween party at school and he was spiderman. Halloween night we go trick or treating with our friends. Beya was Snowwhite, Danik was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Notice that Danik was never Ghost rider, I take that back when we went to Frightmares he wore it to ride the rides. Danik got soo much candy, Beya went to 2 or 3 houses. she loved walking around with the other kids, but could not keep up. Danik, Kanyon, and Josh were running from house to house. They had so much fun. Danik started asking when could we go trick or treating starting at 9 am and kept asking every half hour to every hour

Lagoon with Kayon

We went to lagoon with danik and beya for frightmares and we saw Kanyon while we were there so the boys went on a couple of rides together. Beya went on her first ride- the boats. She loved it and after she got off she wanted to go again. We have definetly gotten our money out of the pass.

Happy Birthday to Danik and Beya

It was Danik's and Beya's birthday party. I did not want to throw the parties together, but felt bad about having everyone come over on 2 seperate days. And Danik said he did not care. Beya had a princess birthday. I love having a girl to do the girl stuff with. And Danik had another superhero party. He loves his superhero's I tried to get him to do something else, but to no avail- Superheros again. I made the cakes, well with a "little" help from my friend Shannon. She is excellent at decorating cakes. It was a lot of fun.

New Car

Okay, so I put my car up for sale on KSL, and it sold! So now I need a new car. I have talked to so many different people about their cars and what they like about it and what they do not. I have also met enough yucky car dealers to last me a life time. I finally decided to get a VAN!!! I never in a million years thought that I would drive a van, but after driving the SUV's danik still could not get in himself, and especially not to the 3rd seat, if you can even call it a seat. So yeah I'm a soccer mom.

First Day of Pre-Kindergarten

The first day of Pre-kindergartenat Washington Terrace school of Music. What this means is 1- a lot more money for tuition, and 2- he goes 4 days a week. The little boy-Kanyon who lives behind us is going to go the preschool also. This is great so we are going to carpool. We will take in the morninng and Kanyon's mom will pick up.Yeah. Danik just missed going to Kindergarten this year by 6 days.

Gateway Water

All of the Chatelain cousins and danik's 3rd cousin, who happens to live across the street and they are great friends. We all went to the Gateway to play in the water and have lunch, if was a fun day. Beya was too nervous so she slept and sat and watched the cousins. We were going to go to the zoo after, but they all wanted to stay and play.

I scream You scream for Ice Cream

Both Danik and Beya love ice cream. We had to go and pick up my car form being repaired form the "little" fender bender, but it was not ready so we went to the Treehouse after playing we stopped on the way back to the repair shop and got ice cream, Beya would not allow you to help her eat it. So she ate it all by herself. The workers at Farr's we laughing so hard. They took a picture and put it behind the counter.

Park on a rainy day??!!

It was raining all week and the kids were going stir crazy, so we went to McDonalds and picked up some lunch and headed west to the park in Riverdale. To our amazement it was raining in the parking lot, but not on the playground they had a great time.

Lagoon Play date July

We went to Lagoon with our friend that live up the street. It was a lot of fun. Danik and Gavin loved the rides. Their favorite was The Bat, a tame roller coaster. They rode it 3 or 4 times in a row. Beya patiently waited in the stroller. No rides for her yet, mom is too scared to let her ride.
