Saturday Fun!

What did you do yesterday? did you go rock climbing? Did you play African drums on the street corner? Did you go to a professional hockey game? No.  Well .....  We did.

What the boys say about about the rock climbing--
-coming down was the best!
-It was kinda scary
-We almost go to the very top!

 

Drumming playing
-Easier than playing the piano
-Very hard to keep the beat.

 

 

About the hockey game--
-The best part was when they would slam each other into the side walls!
-The Roadrunners Won! by 1 point in overtime
-Ben says he wants to go ice skating now
-The nachos were the best.

Sam the acrobat

:
I know you are all in shock that I would laugh at such unsafe behavior, but this is just one moment in the life of my toddler, professional climber. I had to share it with you. He never sits, only eats when moving-needless to stay-he doesn't stay in the high chair for long.

Christmas 2008

So, where did we go for Christmas this year? SeaWorld!! Santa came a day early, and brought us the tickets, and we left on the morning of the 24th to San Diego. We stayed in a cute motel right on the beach. Unfortunately, it was pretty cold and rainy for our stay. But that meant that Sea World wasn't very busy Christmas Day. We enjoyed so many fun shows, and exhibits. Sam's favorite were the big aquariums where he could stand right up to the glass and the fish would swim right by him- that's him and Shamu in the picture on left. My favorite was the Beluga Whales. Spencer liked the Atlantis Ride which he went on 5 times. Shayne liked the exhibits of interesting fish, and touching the Bat Rays. And Ben giggled throughout the Sea Lion show. We stayed half a day on the 26th, and drove home right when the park started to get really crowded. We love having this family time together and focusing on making special memories each Christmas.

A December Wedding

I know this is belated, but I wanted to post my Congratulations to my brother and new Sister-in-law. I am so happy for them! Tomorrow they celebrate 3 weeks together. They were married in the Mesa temple on December 18. They did it simple style with quick pictures after and a lunch at Montis for their closest friends and family. The ceremony and lunch were wonderful. I am truly blessed - I had no sisters growing up -now I have 5 that I love. Becca fits right into our family and brings out the best in my brother, Joey.
