Birthday Trip.

Well I know this post is extremely late because my birthday was in August... The kids and I along with my in-laws went to San Diego to celebrate a couple family birthdays. My birthday is on 8/20 and my sis-in-laws is on 8/24 so we combined the two celebrations. On Friday night we went to Old Town San Diego. We walked around the little town, through a few shops and had dinner there. We spent all day Saturday and part of Sunday at Sea World. We got two days for the price of one. Ryan loved to watch the marine life swim around. I think his favorite was the Beluga Whale in the Arctic Exhibit. He would have watched them for hours if we would have let him. It was fun to experience something for the first time at the same time my kids were experiencing it for the first time!

Pretty in Pink

I couldn't resist. He looks so cute. Kevin will probably be pissed...

Heidi goes to Pre-K

Before school in her cute uniform.
Outside of her classroom.
So excited to be doing puzzles on her first day!

Well anybody who is my Facebook friend knows that these pictures are about two weeks old. Heidi started her Pre-K at the end of July. I was so worried about being able to afford for her to go to preschool, and was so excited to find out that she could go to the local elementary for FREE! She has to wear a uniform. No I don't normally dress her like this. She has been doing really well and now I don't feel so bad that she has to wait an extra year to go to Kindergarten.

Saturday Fun!

Last Saturday we went to the mall. We ate lunch and then let the kids ride the two story carousel at the mall. We also played at the indoor play area. It was a inexpensive way to stay out of the heat!

Fun with Family

Okay I'm not that good at formatting this blog so I will tell you all about our weekend and then I will post the pictures. Two weekends ago my MIL's dad (Papa) came to visit with his wife (g-ma Jean) and youngest bro (Craig). We spent a lot of time hanging out inside since the weather outside was 119. We went to Chuck E. Cheese and also to the zoo early one morning. I didn't get any pictures at the zoo other than of the monkeys. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Muddy Buddies

Last week I was bored so I decided that we would make some Chex Muddy Buddies. The kids loved to lick the bowl when we were done. These are the little things I missed when I was working. We hadn't even gotten dressed yet, but it was time for sugar! Any time is a good time for chocolate.

Crashed!

We have been playing so much over the last weekend and the last few days that Heidi is just worn out! This is what I found today when I went to check on what she was doing. She is asleep in the computer chair in front of the TV in Nana and Pop Pop's room. I only wish she would do this more often! I have a lot of catch up to do on the blog. Hopefully I will get some new blogs posted tonight.
