Fish, snakes and Stingrays




Since my kids love fish and anything that has to do with water, we thought a day at the Living Sea Museum would be perfect. As we waited in line Adam and I contemplated a season pass, it was affordable and we thought from what we had heard the place was really cool. So we purchased our tickets and went in. I guess maybe I am a little spoiled since the only aquarium I have ever been to is the Monterey Bay Aquarium but I was really disappointed. I feel like our kids could have seen just as much at a pet store. I am so glad we didn't buy a season pass because after 45 minutes I was bored and ready to go.

Cheesecake Mom Day Out




Last week we had a fun day at Wheeler Farm. We met up with a few of my friends from work and their kiddos. We ate lunch and had fun looking at all of the animals. Thanks to Angie and Lyndsy for making our first CCF mom day a success.

Forts and Edward





You know that your kids need to get outside when they start building indoor "candylands." I don't know why they call it candyland, but it makes me laugh, and I think it makes it sound more fun. Our candyland is complete with a house made of blankets, and Grayson gave it the finishing touch of a "smoker" or a chimney as normal people would call it which in our candyland is a golf club. I almost want to get a blanket and snuggle up for a little nap and have long dreams of Edward Cullen (I bought the DVD this weekend and oh do I love it). As the snow continues to accumulate outside I can only dream of the warm summer days ahead, for some reason this year it seems like those days are never going to come.

My new favorite Toy!

So after a month of bumming my parents computer to make some pathetic blog entries I finally talked Adam into an early anniversary gift. I found a great deal on a used laptop on KSL. I used to be upstairs on the computer while my kids ran free around the house, taking advantage of the fact I was distracted. So far my kids have NOT ruined anything, hurt eachother or the dog, destroyed the house, eatin me out of house and home, or colored on any walls...I think this whole portable computer was the best invention ever. I can sit in the dining room supervise children and get computer stuff done. I LOVE IT!!!

So frustrating

Our computer crashed a few weeks ago and I can't believe how dependent I am on my printer, pictures (saved on my hard drive) and the Internet. Searching and reading things on my itouch just isn't the same. So hopefully soon I can figure out what is wrong so I can add posts with pictures!
