Camryn's 1st Mariner game

My mom had tickets to the Mariners game on Friday night and since I didn't have anyone to babysit, she decided to take Camryn. I wasn't sure how Camryn would be since it can be hard for a 3 yr old to sit still for very long. But it sounds like it went great. They took the bus there, which was Camryn's first time riding the bus. She was very excited. Safeco field has a playground so they spent most of the time there. Camryn got to experience ballpark food, which i happen to love. I am all about pigging out at the game. :) She ate chicken fingers and french fries and my mom brought a ziplock bag of red licorice. In the 3rd inning they made their way to their seats. Camryn wanted to sit in seat 3 since she is 3 yrs old but that was someone else's seat. My mom let her sit there though until they showed up.

They didn't stay the whole game. They left about 9:30 and arrived home at 11. Camryn slept over at my mom's in her own room. My mom and dad recently cleaned out a small room next to their room for company they will have in July and it is also Camryn's room for when she sleeps over. She slept great alone in her room and when she woke up, she had a big tub in red licorice next to her bed. lol She said her lamb beanie baby ate some. What a stinker!

Jordyn's first haircut

Jordyn's bangs have been in her eyes for a while. I sometimes put them back in a clip but i figured it is time for a trim. Camryn went with my mom to the Mariners game last night so she slept over at my mom's. Jordyn and I went to Les Schwab to get my tire fixed. It had a slow leak so luckily they were able to patch it for free. While we waited, we walked across the street to the deli for lunch and next door is a hair/nail salon. Perfect! Jordyn sat in my lap and the nice lady trimmed her bangs. She sat still and smiled the whole time. She was great! Jordyn and I had some great mommy/daughter time. :)

Old pics

I was looking through some old pics of me and decided to post them. Looking at these help me remember good times and gives me motivation to stick to my diet.

No more dentist

Today I had my 3rd dentist appt and I have one more to go. They have taken more than 4 and a half hrs of my time and more than $550 of my money. My next appt will be quick and easy so that really makes me happy. I am ready to be done with this.

Speaking of being done......a week from today is my divorce hearing. I am looking forward to it because I want to get it over with. I have the parenting plan done so I guess I am ready. I just get so nervous being in the courthouse. I really hope the judge doesn't have too many questions. I want to be in and out.

Disneyland Trip

5 months until our trip to Disneyland. :) I am super excited. We booked our flights and our hotel rooms. My family and the girls and I are going to Disneyland Aug 11th-16th. It will be Jordyn and Emilia's first plane ride and my families first trip together in 10 yrs. The only person not coming is my brother Kevin. He will busy working i guess. But my dad will be coming and that is awesome. He deserves a nice vacation. While we're down there, we're also visiting my Great Grandma and my Great Aunt. They live near Long Beach.

Other than that, I am so excited for Jordyn's 1st birthday. It is coming so fast. I got Jordyn and Camryn new party dresses. Jordyn doesn't know what is going on but Camryn sure does. She says we need CAKE, PRESENTS, BALLOONS and PARTY HATS. Those are the important things. I don't think we'll have party hats, but we'll have everything else.

My mom doesn't do that!

One thing Maddie likes to say several times a day is "My mommy doesn't do that!" Lol Today we took Maddie to school and then took Jordyn to Levi. He has Camryn and Jordyn until Sunday morning. Emma and I came back to the house and played for a little while, then we went to pick Maddie up from school. After Emma's nap we headed out to the mall. Maddie has been asking me for a few days to go to the mall so she can play on the toys. She immediately found a little girl to play with. They played for a while and Emma crawled around checking things out. Luckily it wasn't very crowded so i wasn't worried about her getting hurt.

After about an hour, we took off to Old Navy to find me a new skirt. I found one i like. It is black(of course) and kind of flowy. It falls right below my knees. I would prefer a little shorter but the only other one was a little too short. I think it will look great with some cute new shirts i bought a few weeks ago.

Now we are back at the condo and it's time to get the girls ready for bed. :)

New Year's Resolution is history.

Camryn has had a fever all weekend. She has been very lathargic and hasn't eaten in 3 days. I left Monroe on Saturday night so get a small break from my babysitting job. Erin told me on Sunday that Camryn was crying and asking for me so I went to pick her up. I checked her temp every half an hour to make sure it didn't get too high. It kept going back and forth from 101.7 to 98.3. Around 8:30pm I got a text from Erin saysing that Jordyn's temp is 102.6.

I freaked out and drove to Monroe to get her and take both kids to the ER. I asked my mom to stay with Camryn while i went to get Jordyn since Camryn was sleeping. Then all 4 of us headed to the ER. They took the kids temps right when we got there and they were still high. We went into a little room and they brought the kids some Tylenol to bring down their temps. About 15 mins later in walks in the dr and guess who it is. Terry Mengert. He is an old family friend who used to live across the street. That was pretty funny. He checked over the kids and they both still have ear infections. I already have an antibiotic for Camryn and he gave me a new one for Jordyn. I really hope they get better soon. So far today i have noticed a slight improvement in Camryn. She hasn't eaten yet but she has been talking. That is more than she did yesterday.

Levi isn't working all week so he is taking Camryn. That will be good because he can give her more attention than i can since i still have 3 other kids to take care of.
