Hoedown and pumpkin patch

A few weeks ago we went to a hoedown at Kayla's school, we had so much fun... They had it catered by Outback steak house and they had booth's of fun games, a petting zoo and dancing... The kids had a good time and they loved the Petting zoo. We also met some of Kayla's friends, Delany is one of Kayla's best friends out here and they are total opposites... They are too cute together...

Then today we went to the pumpkin patch so that the kids could pick out some pumpkins. It was very different from the pumpkin patches that I have ever been too... They had pony rides and bounce houses and a petting zoo... It was some great fun...

We also experienced our first Ducks game at the Honda center which was so much fun... They really enjoyed that experience...

My Vacation

So the last month was a little hectic with school and a million other things... Heck who am I kidding the last 10 months of my life have been hectic and crazy... But I finally got a vacation and it was amazing and well worth the wait... I got the chance to go to Puerto Vallarta where my friend Joann and her husband Tim live, and it was so great. It was a very nice relaxing vacation to just revamp myself for the next adventures of my life...
It was an incredible place with a little bit of everything... The 1st day I got there we went to the Malacone, I believe it is called, walked around the shops and beach went to dinner, watched the sunset and just took it all in... The next day we went jet skiing in the ocean, which was incredible I love the water and jet skiing, we were hoping to see something while we were out there but we did not have any such luck... after that we got ready and went up to the Jungle and went zip lining through the jungle another amazing experience... We zipped down 10 lines and back and forth from one mountain to another and it was just beautiful... Later that night we went down to release baby sea turtles to the ocean for the first time we were a little late but I got to hold one and it was just amazing... They are so tiny and squirmy and oh so cute. After that we just enjoyed the evening life down town in PV... Now the next day we just relaxed a bit hanging out just me and Joann... That night how ever was a whole other story... LOL We went and watched the drag show at the local gay bar... What an experience that was... It is definitely an experience I will never forget... WOW just WOW!!! The following day we went boating and snorkeling which was so incredible and so relaxing... It was so great to go snorkeling and go swimming with the fishies... They are all so beautiful... And as JoAnn says it is like swimming in a giant aquarium... (It truly is)
That night we went and stayed at the Flamingo resort and it was gorgeous, I would love to have a timeshare one day to go anywhere in the world and vacation in a resort like that... Just another goal to add to my list... We went to dinner at a great restaurant on the beach and watched the sunset and just had a very calm relaxing evening... The next day, Friday, was my last day and it was just a kick back walk on the beach, talking kind of day as well as a very hard day...
We had such an incredible time and I was so grateful to JoAnn and Tim for sharing with me their world and happiness... It was truly a vacation I will never forget and I am so glad I got to share it with two amazing people...
There is a whole lot of stories to share but I have very little patients for typing them all and it could take days.... So if you want to know anything in particular just ask and I will write a special post all about which ever topic it may be....

I miss you all and can't wait for this holiday season...
Much love

A little update

I am so very sorry to you all for failing to keep up on my blog... I have been crazy busy... Well I like to think I have been. LOL School has been very demanding and I feel like I have been doing math like everyday. Oh wait I have, but it is paying off quite nicely.... I received a 100% on my test in math which I am very proud of just because I have been out of school for ever and I was just impressed with myself. I was also impressed with myself in my theater arts class... Which I am actually enjoying despite the evil essays... Who would of thought that theater was so much fun... I went to my first play production and it was great... It is something I will continue doing as often as possible... I also experienced my first MLB game with the dodgers and the cubs which was pretty neat... I wouldn't mind going to another... I think that's about it with me... Boring I know....
Now the kids they have been doing just Amazing!!! They have been enjoying every minute of it... Kayla just went back to school after her break and she is still loving every minute of it, she has a rough time wanting to do her homework but she gets it done, and she has also been doing really good on reading thanks to the help of my mom and Ryan they have been helping tremendously with the reading... Every night now We read together and I read a story then she will read a story to me... It is so awesome and the smile she gets when she finishes a story just melts my heart...
Now Wes he just sits there and listens to us read and looks at his books with either cars, buzz, or dinosaurs he loves it... He has been doing awesome on his talking and learning words, he can now repeat the alphabet as it is said to him, his favorite words to say I think anyways, are Dinosuars, kachow , and Jaz... Well those are my favorite words that he says... He gets so excited and it is just the cutest thing ever when he says them.... We are taking a back seat to his potty training right now cause he just is not to interested in it but I think with time he will get it... They have also been having so much fun with their swing set, they love it... Kayla has learned to swing all by herself, and Wes is becoming a little braver with climbing up the ladder..
Needless to say we are doing awesome... I can't wait to come see you all around Christmas time it will be so much fun to see everyone... I hope all is well and that everyone is in good health....
Love, AMBER
