Day 3: Knott's Berry Farm

My mom watched Genevieve so we could go to Knott's Berry Farm with just the boys.  It was a blast, until Brandon got food poisoning. :(  Chandler went on his first upside down roller coaster and came home bragging to all his friends.  Sterling, "Doesn't like the rides with big drops."  He loved all the little rides in camp snoopy, though.

All of these pictures were taken on my phone since I didn't want to lug around a big bag when I didn't need all the baby stuff...

Day 2: Sea World

Wednesday we went to Sea World.  I love Sea World.  The boys really enjoyed the things you can touch, and they have a roller coaster than Chandler really liked.

We paid to feed the stingrays.  Sterling was a little apprehensive, but I convinced him it would be safe.  A bunch of stingrays passed Sterling's fish up, but a sturgeon fish ate Sterling's fish and his ENTIRE hand.  I had to yank his arm out of the fishes mouth.  He was totally fine; just a little shaken.

Less than an hour later, Chandler lost his shoe on the roller coaster and it was time to go home.

Day 1: Legoland

We were trying to do a kind of family lesson on saving money.  We were going to earn and save money to do something fun. I was going to make a chart.... and then we moved, had a baby, Chandler saved $90, and I never made a chart.  He wanted to go to Legoland.  I, however, was not terribly excited about Legoland, so when we saw these 4 day San Diego Go Passes (on sale!!) for not a whole lot more than a 2-day Legoland pass, we thought it would make everyone happy.  And it did!

Tuesday night- drive and stay at my parent's condo by the beach!
Wednesday- Legoland
Thursday- Sea World
Friday- Knott's Berry Farm
Saturday- San Diego Zoo
Sunday- Brandon's birthday/die/drive home

Legoland has a lot of rides.  Mostly they're just little rides, like tea cups, and train rides, but there was a lot to do.  Some of the lego displays are very impressive, and my boys love meeting Emmett from Lego Movie.  The park was empty, so by the time it closed at 6, we had done everything a more.  Also the weather was BEAUTIFUL.

Gigi was a dream. 

Roommate Reunion II

Roommate Reunion 1--2011

Our roommate reunion, Easter, and conference weekend was a little extra sweet this.   This year, all 6 roommates gathered to celebrate Dave's wedding.  Dave at Reese were married in the Draper temple this past Friday and we could not be happier for them.  We were also happy for a reason to get together and party.

We rented a beautiful house close to the temple.  We were missing Liz, who is a lot pregnant, and of course Dave and Reese (because that would have been weird).

On Saturday we spent some time with Uncle Jared and Aunt Jen at the "bean" museum on the BYU campus.

Overall it was a wonderful trip, and everyone was very tired...

Life Lately

It's mid March, and time is just flying by.  Life lately has been pretty uneventful, and yet just so wonderful.  The boys go to school, Brandon goes to work, and Gigi and I......hang around?  We just love Baby Gigi.  She might be the sweetest baby ever.  She sleeps awesome and smiles; what more could we ask for.

Winston: "This is my baby.  I must lick her face at any given opportunity."

I really love this awkward bathroom selfie.. I was feeling proud for getting dressed before noon, the bathroom is messy and sterling is a nut.  And the picture is blurry.  This is pretty much my life right now.
