Christmas

We had a great Christmas and are sad to be leaving family, but excited to get back to real life. We spent Christmas with my family, which means lots of noise and craziness. We had fun making cookies, acting out the nativity, eating lots of food, and just being crazy. The boys fit right in with all the chaos and will miss the constant attention and excitement. They loved opening all their presents and got way to many toys. Hopefully they will be entertained by them when we get home, because I can't fill the role of their aunts and uncles and its going to be a rough adjustment. We are grateful for the good year we had and know that we were blessed in so many ways. We are looking forward to another eventful year, and hope by the end we can really be settled down somewhere for an extended period of time! Here are a few pics to highlight our Christmas:

Christmas Morning

Happy Birthday to Me!

I had a great birthday, it's crazy as you get older a birthday is kinda just another day. I remember when I was younger I was so excited for that special day and it really felt different. Now things have changed, however we did do something fun for my birthday. We went to Old Town San Diego and went to the Mormon Battalion Museum. They have redone it, and it's so cool. Here is some of the fun we had.





Oh, and by the way I should make it blog official. We are expecting #3 in March! Things have gone really well this pregnancy, and I'm excited to move somewhere we can call home so I can get ready for the arrival!

Sea World

We were able to go to Sea World and it was awesome. We started out the day on the rides. Marc loved them and the parents weren't too sure about the spinny-up-and-down rides.
Next we got to go and see the dolphins and Marc even got to touch one. It was pretty cool.

We got to see some cool things in the tide pool. The kids loved putting their hands in, but didn't love touching the animals.


Marc was so excited to see Elmo and had so much fun talking to him.



Its kinda funny that we go to a cool place with dolphins and whales and the kids have more fun at the playground! We spent awhile at the splash pad and playground and the kids loved it!



We saw lots of other cool shows like the Shamu show, and a dolphin show the stuff the kids really didn't love, but the adults liked. All in all it was a great day at Sea World!

The Beach

We went to a playground on the bay which was perfect for the boys. We played for a while and then ventured to the water. It wasn't the best beach but the boys thought it was awesome. Luke is our little water lover and had a blast. Marc had fun throwing sand into the water and finding shells.

The Zoo

We had a great time at the zoo. The kids loved the animals, but the hit was the petting zoo where they got to play with the goats. Marc loved it, Luke wasn't so sure what was going on!

Fun in Phoenix

We had a great time visiting Jen, Isac, and Tyler in Phoenix. We went to an awesome park where the kids fed ducks, played on a huge playground, and rode some rides. We all had a blast!

Six Weeks

Staring in October our family will have six crazy and fun weeks. First I will fly with the boys to Arizona to see family. We will stay with Matt's sister Angela and her family for a few days then go and stay with my sister Jen, Isac, and Tyler for the rest of the week. Then we will all drive to San Diego where Matt is and have a little vacation fun. Then the boys and I will stay in San Diego with Matt for 5 weeks. Then we will fly back to Arizona to see Jen and her new baby, and finally my mom will fly home from helping Jen with us and we will be able to settle down for a few weeks till we move to Twin Falls. Sounds exhausting I know, but we are already half way through and doing great!
