Chuck E Cheese

While Dan was away the kids and I decided to use a coupon we had to Chuck E Cheese. We got 200 tokens for $20.00 it was a great deal and keep the kids busy for over 2 hours. It was a really hot day so it was nice to be in someone else's air conditioned building. Also since Megan is completely mobile she had a great time as well.

Noah's Ark

I love the story of Noah and the Ark, I don't know why or how it started but I collect anything and everything that has Noah's ark on it so when a friend put on facebook that there was a Noah's Ark Exhibit in LA and it was going to be free on Thursday's in July I went online and ordered my tickets immediately. We also got tickets for My sister and Sister in law and I am so glad I did it was incredible we all had so much fun. Everything in the Exhibit was made out of recycled materials which made the animals so much more interesting and everything was hands on. The Exhibit was five different rooms, the first room was where they learned a little about the story and how to treat the exhibit, the second area they kids created wind and rain and they got to load the animals into the ark. The third room had puppets, and figurines of all different types of animals that the kids could sort and play with. (please excuse Megan's hair she pulled out her ponytail on the way there and refused to let me put it back up)The fourth area of the ark the kids could go climb different levels of the ark, feed the animals and clean up rubber poop! IT WAS SO GROSS, and of course Megan was obsessed with the poop and wouldn't let any of the other kids play with it, it was so funny!The last room was the rainbow room where the kids got to celebrate that there was no more rain. They got to play instruments and dance around and really celebrate.Our big group in the rainbow room.Outside the Exhibit was the rainbow maker, it was basically a big misting machine that the kids walked through or rather ran through and they could see rainbows. It was so fun and a perfect way to end the day.Megan was not happy with getting wet.
The exhibit was amazing and it is something I will never forget thank you Holly for the great idea!

Home

Dan's Grandmother passed away on July 4th and so we decided that he needed to fly to New Hampshire to be with his family for the funeral. Since it was last minute the tickets were pricey but we finally found a great deal, the only problem was that he would be gone from Thursday Morning till Tuesday Afternoon and that was really hard on the kids and I. It was really good that he got to go and spend time with his family but I told him never again will he leave me at home with all three kids for 5 days. Next time I am going with him and I am so grateful that he doesn't have a traveling type job I definitely couldn't be that kind of wife. When he got back the kids wanted to be waiting for him at the baggage claim so they made signs and were so excited to see him. Megan was so excited to see him, she immediately called out Daddy and then was so happy once she was in his arms. The kids and I had a lot of fun while he was gone but it was really great to have him HOME!

Chick-fil-a

Customer appreciation day was a couple of weeks ago at Chick-Fil-A, and the kids and I went with my brother and sister's families. It was so fun dressing up like cows. Everyone dressed as a cow got a free meal so all of us went dressed up and got 13 meals for free it was awesome!Andrew lost a tooth a couple of days prior and so it was bleeding and stuck a towel in his mouth and we all thought it was really funny so then Ryan had to get in on the action. He is definitely like his father, always trying to make everyone laugh!Megan thought they were both really funny!

Summer Fun

I don't know how it happened but I didn't get any pictures from the 4th of July weekend. We had a great time with family and friends but sadly no pictures to show for it. The summer has been great so far. We love having a pool in the our association the kids and I are there usually about 3 times a week, we also have this great slip and slide that the boys love. We have also gone to the library a couple of times and had some friends over to play with. So here are the pictures of what we did in June.Megan hated the slip and slide.Christian with baby Camden, we just love her.Dan decided one night it would be fun to do wood projects with the kids, they got to build different things and then paint them. It was really fun!Christian played water football with some neighbors.Ryan is so crazy in the pool he has no fear, loves to jump in and will swim with no floaties if I am close by.My niece Brittany got these fake glasses and put them on Megan it was so cute.
