Quick weekend trip

This past Saturday we decide to take the little ones to Sea World, we got new passes since the ones we previously had expired. It would be Angels first time since he's been 1yr last time we went he wasn't fully attentive so this was going to be exciting, first show we saw was Sea Lions Live......his face was PRICELESS!!! He literally covered his mouth giggling!! he wanted the Sea lions he kept telling them to come here lol we couldn't help but laugh. We then let him walk some , keep in mind he's still learning, I will post a video of him but he took a few steps only it was very crowded. He also enjoyed the Shark Encounter he kept growling at them haha.....no son they aren't scared of you! While daddy and Gena went to another ride he and I snuck away and got some candy =) he loves chocolate so I got us some and heres a picture of him enjoying it.......he ofcourse overate and started spitting them out after the picture!

Me and Gena went on a ride called Rip-tide something lol OMG I wanted to die! it was fast and I honestly felt it was going to break, its located near the Turtles they have there now.......Angel also enjoyed that ALOT.........he kept looking in awww...............I love his new stage of just watching things to see how they go......he does that to his cars also he flips them upside down and just turns the wheels..........

We didn't stay to long it was very cold but they both enjoyed the small trip, Angel passed out for a good 1.5hrs!

First day of basketball practice

Yesterday the girls had their first basketball practice, when I picked up Gena from my in-laws she was so excited and nervous, she couldn't wait! But when I got Akira from school her attitude shined............she said she doesn't want to do it and that its boring to her if she can only do soccer I being the loving mother said "No you will NOT quit before you even try it! You WILL do it because you refuse to do anything else other than sit on the couch and lounge around all day, you refuse to go running with me and this is the ONLY way I can make sure you do something healthy for your body so NO you WILL do both sports" Yes I'm soooo sweet hahaha, ok listen I'm not trying to be a mean pushy mom but if I keep giving in to them then I'm being a push over, I had to remind her that she quit Karate when it got to hard.....I didn't fight her about it at the time, but now I regret not pushing her to keep doing it I refuse to allow my kids to give up when things get hard, its a lesson that even though your not wanting to do something its best to just keep doing it knowing that in the end you'll learn to become a better person, in this case a sport. I took them to practice and of course Angel was a busy body he made me walk him outside where there was grass, God forbid I got close to the doors he would pull away and scream he didn't want to be inside he walked on the grass (alone) and was laughing up a storm because I would walk away from him and telling him "uhoh get me hurry" I watched some of the practice and they were doing pretty good! I have to admit, Akira is really good at catching the sport, she ALMOST made a basket but at first she was just standing there looking pretty holding her arm......ugh I would do the same! lol but then she got into it.....at the end I asked them what they thought and Gena LOVED it and wants to keep both sports Akira still didn't want to so I told her no you have NO choice your sticking to this because in Jr High you WILL play different sports its nothing like Elementary and I don't want you to not know how to play and if you don't make it to practice I will have your aunt get you I will be here each time since Gena will be here, she said ok, with an attitude but she said ok lol I know I sound mean but there's very little I push my kids on.....I make sure they make healthy choices...I don't allow certain shows to be watched....but with sports I think if we don't push our kids they will grow up to be lazy and unknowing to any sports..I wish my mom would've pushed me!! I don't think I would've been so over weight if she did......I'm not blaming her I'm just wanting to do things differently, I want the kids to have what I wish I could've had or did have...........Ill be supportive no matter what but certain things are not up to them, I don't know many kids especially Akiras age that want to be active lol wish me luck!

Angels walk....its quick =)

My loves....picturers

New adventurers!

Well Angel turned 17mon yesterday, we had an orthopedic appointment to ck up on his arm that he fractured, while we were waiting I remembered I had to get change for the parking which was $3 so I went to their Mc Donald's (which is inside the Children's Hospital specialist waiting room) and got him some small fries and me a coffee (I've been super sleepy) so while waiting he munched on some fries and then we were called, I did read that your child can not have food or drink BEFORE being seen but I didn't make much of it....besides it was only a follow up right?? AHHH! He had to get another x-ray (DUH) and the second he sat down..............WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Well then I was asked, "Does he have food in his mouth?" Yes the lady looked annoyed lol I said yes he does but he wont throw up, she says no its more concern of choking (crap) so I tried calming him down and hold his arm out and man! I was getting embarrassed he wasn't having it............sooo she said "Stop Ill get someone to help and hold him down" (man was I red!) so ok they held him and done........once in the room while waiting he was OK.....turned out his fracture is 100% GONE! wooohoo!

After his appointment I needed to get Gena and take her to soccer practice, yes the girls are now in soccer its a free program where my sister lives and its classes for kids up to 16 I think and they will also be doing basketball on Thursdays......its only an hour long but its good for them to learn the basics and they run ALOT! Akira was with my sister and they met us there....Angel wasn't happy being all in his stroller.......oh well.....my poor Gena held back tears a few times, she's soo sensitive!!!! its kind of annoying because if she misses the ball boom she wants to cry, we are trying to toughen her up some and tell her its ok and to stop crying...were not being mean, were teaching her that its normal to not be perfect and that its ok to make mistakes and that its a learning experience oh boy!! I had to tell Akira to be quiet sooo many times she kept mouthing to me "she's such a baby!" ughhh these girls!! lol its a must to show Gena more about being a good sport......and Akira to show her how to play, Akira is good at soccer, but she doesn't have the stamina to keep up so that's my focus with her she refuses to go running with me....so its a waiting game as to when shell be ready to start working on it......well see.

After practice the girls said they enjoyed playing woohoo! so I went to my in-laws to drop off Gena (she wanted to spend the night and had homework) well once we were there my MIL showed me something she's been working on with Angel.......she makes him walk back and forth from the couches......OMG!! He walked! and kept walking lol but not for long but once home he walked more and more SCARY! EXCITED!! Oni isn't ready for him to be a big boy.....he wanted more kids and I'm done 100%.......that's another blog lol. So yes Angel is now walking more (off and on) and the girls are now in Soccer on Tuesdays and basketball on Thursdays..................Lord help me
