Our big girl

Ruby Jane Jones is officially potty trained!!! Yay roobs!! I "officially" started potty training her last Tuesday & that was the only day she has had any accidents!!(except a minor accident in the car) seriously if I had to write down what a perfect child is ruby would totally be close! I'm so excited & proud of her'n we love love love you smart girl :) 

birthday celebrations!!

I have decided that we are no longer going to have birthday parties, but instead our family is going to do something really fun as a fam. We were going to start with ally's birthday but with Stella being so young it didn't work out this year. So the next babes birthday was rubys!! Ruby is such a fun and sweet spirit. She has an insane love for animals of all kinds so naturally she HAD to visit sea world!! Sea world is also super close to my favorite beach ever mission beach! We haven't been in years because its quite a ways a way from disneyland (which we normally are). However our first day we played at hunington! Ruby and Stella have never been to the beach, and the last time Allyson went she was about 13 months. I knew ruby would love it! Stella I figured would hate it because she hates the water & allyson is so picky who knows! i was correct about R&S roobs was in heaven. stella wasnt to bad but wasnt thrilled & ally liked it but hated the sand sticking to her. After playing at the beach we were by downtown disney so we had to pay a visit ;) we walked around & auntie bebe got the girls ice cream. the next day was SHAMU DAY!! I have always had a HUGE LOVE  for sea world and marine animals. It was a huge dream of mine to be trainer at sea world and not any trainer but a shamu trainer. I even seriously contemplated going to sdsu. However life got in the way which is totally okay with me. I was a little apprehensive about going now that they don't allow the shamu trainers in the water with the whales, (in which case I have my own thoughts on but this post isn't about that)

However it did not disappoint its still so amazing to me that they can get those huge whales to do tricks! Blows my mind! They have had to change it a bit but I still enjoyed it & the girls don't know the difference. They were obsessed!! Ruby kept saying " i swim" Even now that we are home if we are near water they go "mommy I'm shamu" and splash all over! They also loved getting to see the whales swim by us underneath that's always been my fave fave. ruby would yell hi shamu mommy hi shamu baby.  We also saw the dolphin show, bebe loves the dolphins she went last year and said she sat front row & didn't get one bit wet so naturally us sitting in the 3rd row we would be fine.... Uh wrong-o they have pilot whales that seriously soak you! Allyson didn't like the dolphin show after all the splashing. I seriously wish someone had gotten our reactions on camera haha we went & did the sharks which the girls loved, penguins Allyson was obsessed with, & wild artic which normally I love but they no longer had polar bears which stinks because I loved them! We also hung out with some bat rays & my big diva totally fed one!! They have a bay of play which features Sesame Street characters & some rides (no disneyland) but the girls had fun & loved meeting Elmo or melmo as ruby calls him. We ended the night with "Shamu Rocks" it was super fun! Kyland had a cameo on the big screen & Stella was even dancing! Seriously kills me! Oh & a side note about Stella she was a DREAM baby she was/is teething & had a fever on and off throughout the whole trip but was such a trooper & never cried! The next morning we went to mission beach in which case all three girls decided to nap & afterwards we hit up sea world for a little more playtime! We had such a great family trip!! I can't wait until we get to escape vegas again! HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY RUBY ROOBS!!

Picture post

When I posted about daddy's day I forget to add these little beauts!! 

This is totally how all of our photo sessions are total nightmares HAHA we try all sorts of things if there were someone that could get these girls to love photo sesh's I would LOVE to meet em!! So Allyson(tinkerbell as of lately) does love taking pictures. Thanks to auntie bebe who taught her. These are the random gems I find on my phone. ( btw I have tamed them down typically there are 20-30 if the EXACT same picture) 

I suppose this is a "day in the life of Allyson" she is so cray haha
