They are so fun!

Today the kids and I got out some of the craft stuff and did some sponge painting. Brayden said "This is the toy Jason gave us for a present huh mom?" He is so funny! Jason and Aimee had gotten them these sponges for Christmas and he totally remembered!! Silly boy! He did Dinosaurs and Brooke did farm animals. Brayden and I also practiced our ABC's by sponging the alphabet. He is actually doing really well. He can remember what letters comes next...

After we were done with the painting we went outside and blew bubbles. It has been so nice here so we thought we would appreciate the day and play a little. It was so funny! Brayden would blow the bubbles away from him, Brooke would stomp on them, and Mojo would chase after them and eat and bark at them! Its amazing how long kids (and even puppies) can be amused by bubbles!

Lastly we did some sidewalk chalk. Brayden's favorite shape is the circle! He will draw circles all day long. It is so funny! They are actually pretty good circles too. Brooke just kind of ran around with the chalk in her hand watching what everyone else was doing. Anytime I would draw a shape or name, she would color on top of it! So silly :) Brayden was naming off everyone's names he wanted me to write and he actually remembered which ones were which!

Brayden is so So SO excited for his Uncle Chad, Aunt Jenny, and Nanna to come out and visit in a week! Every thing we do he says he is going to do with them, or show them! Its so cute!! :)

My Valentine's Surprise!

Nathan was so sweet for Valentines Day this year! He wouldnt tell me what surprise he had in store for the evening, just what to wear and the time. We dropped the kids off at my dads house for the evening and he drove us over to the Awhatukee area, I kept wondering what we could be doing? We pulled up and lo and behold, we had reservations at The Melting Pot! I was SOO excited! I had always wanted to go there before and I LOVE fondu! It was really nice and intimate inside. The hostess took us to our table and waiting there for me were these beautiful roses! They had this cute "lovers quiz" that we answered questions about one another at the table. We enjoyed a Cheddar Cheese fondu with bread and veggies to dip in it, an awesome ceasar salad, our main course an array of different sirlions and chicken and shrimp with dipping sauces and of course dessert the Chocolate/Carmel turtle dipping with strawberries, cheesecake and more! The food was awesome! They also took a picture of us at the table and framed it for us to take with us on the way out. It was the best date I could have imagined. Nathan really went above and beyond! I am so lucky to have such a thoughtful and loving husband! :)

I couldnt open my eyes cause of the rain!

The Seals and Sea Lions were really noisy!

The Dolphins were amazing to watch

Oh my goodness where to begin?! We left for San Diego bright and early Friday morning and arrived there a quick 5 hrs and 20ish minutes later! Boy did we have a great time!! Despite all the RAIN the kids were in good spirits!!

Brayden's favorite animals were the SHARKS! When we went back the 2nd day that is ALL he wanted to see! He didnt really care much to see the other animals... silly! Brooke loved the Penguins! We actually got to see them getting fed the 2nd morning we were there. It was pretty cool to see how they could force these big 'ol fish down their tiny little throats!

Of course we went to all the shows! Shamu was super impressive and the dolphins could sure jump high, but surprisingly to us, our favorite show was the Sea Lions. They were so funny and little sea otters joined them a few times. So cute! We also saw a 4D Sesame Street movie and a Pet/Dog Show that were pretty cool.

I am so glad that we got a 2 day pass because really we could not see it all in 1 day. The funniest part of the whole trip though, was the 1st day when we sat down to lunch. Brayden got a personal pizza and all the sudden a big Seagul swooped down and snatched it right off the table!! Brayden was devistated to say the least! He sat there for a good 15 minutes just staring at the bird with a sad face saying "the bird ate my pizza!" We tried to ask him if he wanted another one, something else? No response. Poor guy. haha (Sorry for all the pictures but we took 94, it was hard to choose them!! lol)
