1st Haircut

Yes. It has taken me 2 1/2 years to get the girls first haircut. What can I say. Taylor's hair was just nice and flowing and thick and I wanted Emily's hair to grow. But it got to a point where Emily needed something done to her hair because it was so many different lengths in the back. So I bit the bullet. Taylor did NOT want to get her hair cut. She literally tried to JUMP from the chair but we bribed her with a lollipop and Kung Fu Panda and she sat and did really well. Emily was THRILLED to get her hair cut. No crying no whining and she wants to go back again. Of the two, there is a HUGE difference in the before and after of Emily. Taylor really only needed the dead ends cut off and you can tell she got her hair cut but not as much as Emily. Here are some pictures:

All I have to say of Emily is where did my baby go? She looks like a little girl now and not my baby. Gosh they are growing up so fast!

Surprise Text Message

So I was at work the other day and I get a text message. I look at the number and I'm like who the heck is that?? Then I look at the text. It's a picture:

That's Emily and one of her preschool teachers! She must have seen my cell phone number somewhere and decided to send me a picture. She also sent this one:

She said Emily was hanging out with her during her break. Too cute! Was a very NICE surprise to get during the day!!!

Playing Outside

The beautiful thing about living in Southern California. The weather. We went outside after dinner and played outside until 7 pm. I see this A LOT in our future. =)

Funny Faces

Yesterday Emily started making this funny face. She would say "Happy Face" and then make this face and Connor and Taylor would laugh. It was the CUTEST thing. So today, we got her to do it and we took pictures. Then everyone wanted to get in on the pictures, including Daddy! ENJOY!

VERY Busy Weekend

Started with Friday night (which was a reason why I forgot to update on Friday). Kids went to Kids Night Out. I think they will go every time they have it unless we are going camping or have family/friends in town. They ask every time. =) So they went to that and Surbjit and I chilled out at home. We went to pick them up at 11pm (Connor was mad last time because we picked them up early so we waited until the end of the time to pick them up this time). Every single one of them was UP! We were shocked. Especially Taylor. She is my sleeper! So by the time we got home, which they did not fall asleep on the way home which was another shocker, it was 11:30pm. Thankfully they slept in until 8:30!! Woo HOO!

Well, on Saturday we had a birthday party and soccer to go to. The birthday party started at noon with the activities really starting at 1pm. I'm glad we knew that because there was no way we were going to make it by noon. We got there about 12:45. At 1pm, they had a train show up. That was the highlight for all the kids!

They rode the train, ate some food, played on the playground and rode the train some more!

Then right after the party we had to head to Connor's soccer practice. The girls got to play on the playground there while Connor practiced. After soccer, we headed over to Romy & Jeff's house where the kids got to play with Katrina and Dylan. So by this time, none of the kids got a nap and we ended up staying at Romy & Jeff's until 9:30! Needless to say they fell asleep immediately on the way home! On Sunday, they slept in until 9am!! Wow. Maybe I am liking this no nap/time change thing after all! LOL!

Sunday turned out to be another busy day. We ate breakfast and then the kids went to the Gurdwara with Daddy and Bigi. They came home, we played for a little and then headed to another birthday party at the neighbors house. The kids did good, jumping in the jumper, swinging on the porch swing, playing drums, and learning how to ride a skateboard. Needless to say, it was ANOTHER day with no naps. The kids got to bed at a decent hour this time (girls 7pm, Connor 7:30). I bet I have a hard time waking them up in the morning though!

So we had a great weekend. It went way too fast though. Next weekend will be lower key. Connor will be getting his cavities filled on Saturday. We are having him get all four cavities filled at once and having him completely sedated. Wish us all luck! My poor boy. We are not planning on doing anything since we won't know how he'll feel afterwards. But at least we'll get it all done at once and hopefully he won't remember anything. Then since Sunday is the last day of the month and I have not gone to new park this month, hopefully we hit up a new park on Sunday. I just have to figure out which one I want to do! So that's the plan.

So far i"ve been doing pretty good keeping up with the blog and posting something each day. =) I only missed Friday. I'm very proud of myself so far for keeping up. Just 10 days left this month. ;)

A Day Off & the Dentist

So I took today off since I had to go take Connor to the dentist. It was not pretty. He really did NOT like to sit in the seat, nor did he like her looking in his mouth or polishing his teeth. He would not sit for an x-ray either. I really don't want to take the girls but it looks like I will have to. The end result? He has FOUR cavities. Ugh. So now we have to have them fixed. Yes they are his baby teeth but from what I understand, you still need to take care of these and they are not small cavities either. They are medium size ones. So we have decided to have him sedated and have them all taken care of as well as have his x-rays done at the same time. Wish me luck. His appt is next Saturday. Thankfully they had a Saturday so I don't have to take a day off of work. Poor kid.

So after his appt, I dropped him off at school (Surbjit had already dropped the girls off earlier). Then Surbjit and I went to Knott's to get his season pass and picture taken. Then we decided to go in for a little bit. We rode Montezuma's Revenge twice and Jaguar once and then left since we were both hungry. Ate lunch and then went home for a little while. Since it was such a BEAUTIFUL day (low 80's) and we were both home we decided to pick up the kids early (everyone at school was SHOCKED!) and we took them to Knott's. =) They had lots of fun and so did we. It was a great time. Well for most of us. LOL. Taylor really didn't like a couple of the rides. Emily liked almost all of them. I think she will like them all as long as she can be with her brother. And Connor was just the absolute greatest big brother there could be! On one of the rides, he was riding with Taylor who started FREAKING out almost at the end. He put his arm around her and tried to comfort her. And when we were walking in the park, he would hold both their hands and even looked at Taylor once and said I would never leave you behind sweety!! It was by far the reason why I had three kids. Too sweet!!! Here are some pictures from today:

Santa Ana Zoo

Since today was going to be a BEAUTIFUL day. We decided to take the kids to the Santa Ana Zoo. It was perfect weather and lots to look at and do there. Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Even though we lost an hour of sleep last night since we had to turn the clocks forward, you wouldn't know it from us. And we LOVE how it is light now as late as it is. Of course, Connor did say before he went to bed that he couldn't go to sleep because the sun was still up. LOL! I hope that doesn't continue because it's going to continue being light late until June 21st!

Here are some pictures from our trip today:

Taylor & Emily LOVED looking at the elephant.

Wherever there is water, there they are . . .

Connor liked the red birds (you can barely see them through the tree) and wanted me to take thier picture so I took his too.
