Fun in the Sun

This past week was the girls first week at dance. We had already missed a week of dance and we weren't to thrilled about having to make up on Saturday mornings. Saturdays are the days we spend time together as a family so the ballet studio decided that they would have the girls go an extra hour. So the girls go 3 days a week for 2 hours now. By Wednesday Mariah was complaining  how her toes hurt. I think 2 hours of ballet for the little ones is a little too much so we might just have the older girls go for 2 hours. Jazmin and Mariah liked it so that's good.

When Thursday came around I was excited that they didn't have to go to dance so we went to Brandon's office. Jazmin really misses one of her little friend's back at home so she gave her a call at the office and was way excited to talk to her.

Brandon and I went out on a date on Friday and it was really nice. I needed a break from Brock because he has been way to clingy to me lately. So we ate dinner and left the kids with LaBeth ( househelp) We went to a mall to get me a phone and we were going to go bowling but changed our mind and got a massage instead. The last time I got a massage here it felt good and this time it was soo  painful for me. The reason being, I was already sore from doing a workout video and running so my legs were sore. I always get knots around my shoulder blades so for the lady to get those knots out and her massaging my legs killed! It was soo painful that I could not relax and I knew she knew that because she covered my eyes with a rag to help me relax. So the next day I had bruises on my legs. Yup bruises! They aren't that bad but still that tells you how hard to rubbed me.

The next day we woke up bright and early so that we could head to the beach.  I was up at 5 a.m to get everything ready (swimsuits, towels, sunscreen etc.etc). The beach we went to was a 2 hour drive so we wanted to leave early. We left around 6 a.m. and got there a little after 8 a.m. The kids had a blast. Jazmin and Mariah were so excited that their dad got them a starfish but we had them throw them back in the ocean because they stink when they start to dry out. We had tonz of fun and by the end of the day we were all wiped out and sunburned. We applied sunscreen but I didn't reapply it on the kids so they got burned. It wasn't too bad so that's good. I'm  hoping that we will be able to go to more beaches on the weekends.

This is Brock's cute little friend Sami

Here we are at the beach

Brock found this coconut on the ground. He was pretty pumped about it.
Jazmin and Mariah heading out to swim. The water is so clear and so warm. I am loving the asian ocean.
Brock and Sami. Sami decided to put red paint in her pretty blonde her the day before. That is the reasoning for her pink hair. It looked cute though.
Jazmin holding up her starfish that she caught. Actually Brandon got it for her and than she accidentally dropped it so she went back down and got it. She was soo pumped about finding starfishes.


Me and my little guy Brock.

 I thought this picture was so cute of Brock playing near the water all by himself. He loved the beach.
