Is Glendale!
On Saturday we went to watch Jayla perform at Glendale Glitters! What a big girl she was performing in front of hundreds of people! I tried to capture some pictures for mommy and daddy to remember the night and was squished between Jearel (daddy) and Phyllis (grandma) who were so proud of their girl and were there to capture the moment as well. Cutest thing I heard her daddy say was, "I am so nervous I can't even snap a picture"! Melted my heart a little bit! He didn't need to be nervous at all, Jayla did great!
The second she was done performing we dashed to grab a bite to eat! The kids could have cared less about eating though as soon as grandpa bought them their glowing things! Kept them entertained for sure (and came in handy later)!
We were talking about taking a carriage ride earlier that evening, so after dinner we headed to the spot, only to see the very long line that we thought might take us two hours to wait in. We tried walking away, but this little one turned out to be quite convincing to her grandpa and well...she won! She is very good! I think it is because she talks with her hands so much!
So we stood in line for about 45 minutes and waited to get on our carriage. I thought that there was no way that the kids would behave for that long, but they were very entertained by grandpa and the line was right next to a stage so the kids were dancing in the street and didn't even realize that it took as long as it did! It was while waiting in line that my mom realized just how many pictures I take when we are just hanging out. Chad told her this was normal and that he was used to it. I just smiled, hopefully one day my kids will be grateful that I documented our life and don't just have posed pictures of them. I am not saying posed pictures are bad, I love them (wish we did them more than just once a year), but glad that I have hundreds of pictures of them being THEM!
Dancing Queen! She was gettin' down!
All I needed was one picture of the two of them all bundled up...instead I got these! They make me giggle.
And finally, we got a ride in our carriage! Lola made sure that she rode by grandma and grandpa and even told me that I had to get my own horse-y! Ha! When she realized that we could all fit and that she could sit between them, she was a happy camper and all was well! Kyan was excited to get to sit by mom and dad so it all worked out in the end! The ride was worth every penny (especially when dad is paying)! It lasted about 15 minutes and the kids had so much fun! At one point, Lola looked up at her grandparents and said, "You know guys, I love you!" It was so sweet!

her outfit is so stinkin' cute! looks like a lot of fun :)
Yep, I didn't get that picture of Jayla?! Weird, I will just steal it. Daddy and Mommy were both nervous and oh so proud of her. I was shaking back stage just seeing all those people. She LOVED every second of being a star on stage.
Funny how you guys could be so close to us. Especially buying the glow things (You know I'm never going to let you live this one down)?!
I LOVE how you are always taking pictures. I secretly think Chad appreciates it. I mean come on, look at all those ADORABLE pictures you got of the night.
I love Lola's little outfit. She looked so warm and cozy.
PS- That is a REALLY good family (header) picture.
I need snow on my blog again. Let's see if I can actually figure it out ;-)
Looks like an absolutely magical evening! Your kids are going to love being able to look back and see photos of all of these wonderful memories! And thanks for the snow link - was going to ask you how to do it and then saw the link at the end of the post. Going to give it a try!
