Sea World

We went to San Diego last week for Spring Break. It was a blast. We went down there with our friends-The Starks. Our kids are best of friends and at times I think they must think they are siblings because they are together so much. We had lots of fun. On Friday we went to Sea world. We had a fun time and I think we saw every exhibit and rode every ride that we could. One of the kids favorite parts was the rides. The only bad part you got wet on them and it was kind of cold so you were shivering all day long. The kids didn't seem to mind though until the very end of the day.

The Whale Show

My Boys

The Sea Lion Show-this was the kids favorites the laughed so hard. They also enjoyed feeding the seals.
The Dolphin Show

2 Fat Guys (LOL)

Journey to Atlantis (Chloe's favorite ride-including the 60 foot drop)

Shipwreck Rapids (Tanner's Favorite Ride) They have changed a lot since the last time we were at Sea World. You can no longer walk up to the dolphin pool at any time and touch them. The only time you can do this is if you pay to feed them and they only do it once a day-we missed out on it since we didn't realize this. Also no more stingrays to touch though you can still touch the starfish. The shows were also a lot more sensationalized and had a lot more production and acting from people instead of from the actual animals-which was a little disappointing, but they were still enjoyable to watch.

Beach Bums

Last week when we went to San Diego. Our first stop was the beach. We were planning on spending the afternoon at the beach but we didn't quite get to San Diego when we had planned to so we only ended up spending about an hour there. The kids loved every minute of it though. They played in the freezing cold water ( I couldn't even stand to be in it for over a minute) until the life guards asked everyone to get out because the waves were kind of dangerous where we were at. After that they played in the sand until we decided to drag them away from the beach, shaking and shivering with cold. If we lived by a beach I think my kids would seriously be in danger of becoming beach bums. LOL

Check out Chloe's awesome mermaid tail

A quick stop in LAS VEGAS

On the way home from our trip to San Diego we stopped in Las Vegas for a few hours. The kids had fun riding a couple of rides, seeing the lions at MGM Grand, and visiting M & M World. The had a blast looking at all four floors of M & M merchandise. We also got to see a funny M & M 3-D movie hence the 3-D glasses. Chloe really wanted to ride the New York New York roller coaster but we just didn't have time. Landon promised to take her on it then next time we go through there.

The kids were both so tired that they fell asleep 30 minutes before we got home. We had a busy and fun filled weekend they were completely tuckered out.

Rodeo and Baseball

We had a busy and fun filled weekend. Tanner had a ball tournament on Friday and Saturday so we were pretty much outside all day both days. Guess what I have a sunburn can you believe it? Tanner did great. He is getting better each time and more and more confident. He got an awesome hit in his first game, and he played various positions in the outfield (center, left, right). The games were fun to watch. They won their first two and lost the second two.

We also went to our nieces Junior High Rodeo Saturday morning. It was fun. Chloe was in heaven. She kept wanting to ride Kylie's horse, and she always wanted to do it all by herself. Now all she can talk about is when she gets her own horse, and she spends hours looking at the KSL website at the horses that are for sale. We are in big trouble. LOL

Broken Tooth and Pinewood Derby

Yesterday at school I got a page over the intercom to come to the office. So I went down there and there stood Tanner with a upset look on his face trying not to cry. He had broken off half of his front tooth in P.E. when he was practicing the high jump. Somehow when he went over the bar his knee hit his mouth and knocked out part of his front tooth. OUCH!

We headed right over to the dentist they were so good to get us right in. They said luckily he didn't have to have a root canal done right then because they could see the nerve but they didn't think he had hit it. So they fixed it the best they could with a fake temporary tooth. However the dentist thinks that eventually they will need to do a little bit of surgery and pull more of the tooth down and then put a veneer in, because of how it broke. Poor Kid.

Here is the after you can't really tell. He was so brave and didn't cry once during the whole thing dentist trip and all. I told them luckily it wasn't Chloe I brought in or we would have had to heavily sedate her to even get her in the chair. LOL

Then last night was the pinewood derby. Here are all the cars lined up to race. It was really a fun time. Tanner's car did really well. He consistently got about 3.20 to 3.21 and was usually in the heat that had the 3rd fastest times. The times ran from 2.90 to 3.76 so his did really well especially considering the fact that it was wobbling a little bit due to one of the axles being off just a little.

He won an award for the neatest car. It's kind of sad that this is our last pinewood derby because next year at this time Tanner will have graduated to boy scouts :(

New Addition

Here is the newest addition to our family.

Chloe's new hamster named Snowflake-the poor thing hasn't had a rest in two days.

Note to self: never let husband take six year old with money in a pet store. LOL

♥ VALENTINES ♥

For Valentines Day Landon helped Chloe make this cute frog mailbox.I helped her make candy cane heart cards. Tanner just wanted to take reese's-so he did.

The kids had a fun day, and had to look at all their treats and cards when they got home from school.
What a pair of cuties.

I love Valentines Day! Such a fun holiday. I had school that night so Landon got off early and took me out to lunch at The Olive Garden. It was very nice and we had a great time. Love you Land.
