MIA

We've been MIA lately. Actually a couple of years it looks like, but I have found Sydney going onto the computer and looking at our Blog.  She loves to go through and look at everything. So I am getting back into the blogging world.

We've been having so many adventures it will be hard to catch up. But here are a few pics to get started.

Blake loves his superheros, loves Ben 10 and I love to watch him play with his Action Figures.  But lately with the kids getting into technology with apps on smart phones, kindles and the Nintendo ds he doesn't play as much with his action figures. In fact hardly at all anymore and it kills me.  I love watching him create and talk for his action figures.  Darn technology. Lately I've been taking away those privileges and only let them use them when we are sitting around waiting for things for my sanity so they don't  drive me nuts.  But he still doesn't get out his action figures, instead he tells me he is bored. : (  I gotta find a way to get him back to them.

Bear our first baby is 12 (we think, he was a rescue) this year. He's our old man now. 

 Our spot to vacation is San Diego, where we can go to Sea World and to La Jolla Cove

 and look for crabs.

One of the coolest things we learned to make this year were this 3D snowflakes.

Good Citizen

My lil speedracer got good citizen for his preschool class and got to stand up in

 front of the whole school with the big kids.

He almost didnt make it up there. But I was so surprised when after a lil coaxing he

 walked up there and shook hands with

the vice principal and stood up with the other kids.



Mothers Day 2011

For mothers day the kids loaded me up with cards and lots of fun things they created for me. I love mothers day because thats when you get all the handmade gifts from the kids that last forever.

Rami got me my plants I wanted for the yard and he made us his awesome breakfeast of pancakes, eggs, bacon and sausage, "the works". It was a great mothers day.



Happy Mothers Day " MOM "

My mom is a mom of 12 kids and now I look back after having just 2 kids and think how in the world did she do it. We had fun on family vacations and we hated saturdays when they made us work on the garden, lol. But I have loved growing up in a big family.

Thanks mom for all you have done and sacrificed for the family. We love you. And now your an awsome Grandma to your grandkids.



Cosmic Bowling

We got to do some bowling during spring break. Blake would bowl and it would take 5 min for the ball to get down the lane to hit the pins so we finally got that contraption for the kids and he had a blast. In the end Blake ended up beating all of us.

Just look at our form.



Of course another Sea World visit

Of course we couldn't leave San Diego with out seeing Shamu! Afterall Sydney wants to be a Marine Biologist and train Shamu's when she grows up. We even have to relocate to San Diego when she goes to college there (thats Sydney's plan).

We were excited to see some turtles there for the first time. They are even working on a

 whole new exhibit for them.

Have you ever seen in where they ask someone for a camera then they pluck differnt people from the audience to create a makeshift family and  take a pic wiht someone elses camera. Well I got pulled up to be the girl and stand with Biff.

San Diego Zoo & Wild Animal Park

 Blake got up during a bug show and got to participate. He was thirlled until he learned they would all be eating meal worms. ehhhh, but he did it and we laughed.

 We were excited to get going and check out these 2 parks. It was soooo much fun. And great excercise, lol. We did so much walking by the time we got to our hotel rooms lights were out by 9 with everyone asleep.

 We had the funniest tram guide at the wild animal park. I will never forget what follow me marks are and what they look like on all the animals.

Sydney and Blake hatching from there egg. Look Blake is trying so hard.
