Natural History Museum

I took Daniel, Joshua and Ashley to the Natural History Museum. They have a Frog display and Bugs Alive display, plus all their regular stuff! It was really fun. A volunteer was out telling the children about frogs and let the children touch a frog. Daniel loves frogs and is especially fascinated with the red eyed tree frog. We had a great time at all the displays, the bugs were interesting also, there is nothing cute about a bug especially when they extremely large!


They squished in the tube to get a closer look at this cool frog!




This is what is behind them!

Easter 2009

We celebrated Easter over spring break in California, but my wonderful mother saved her Easter egg hunt for the week after Easter so we could be there. The children had a blast. Joseph came into town bringing almost everyone a Minnesota Viking Jersey to wear. The children had a blast with Uncle Joe's dogs, Easter Eggs (I think we hid a million, at least it felt like it!). The little boys played football against the bigger boys, then the BIG boys got involved. The food was great, and the company was fun! Thank you everyone for being so wonderful!

Singing

Anna had the opportunity to sing in Sacrament meeting. We were planning on the last Sunday in April, but found out the Tuesday before that it was the third Sunday. Anna is such a trooper. She got out the Primary song book and picked 'I Feel My Saviors Love'. She had one practice, then on Saurday tripped and fell off the playground at the park giving herself a grazed chin and fat lip(I thought she would back out at this point)then sang all four verses on Sunday. It was fabulous. She has such a special talent, when she sings you can feel her love and emotions in the song and on her face. Anna we are so proud of you!

Spring Break

I just realized that I have not posted our Trip to California for spring break! We wanted to go see our family and have a fun economical vacation in Los Angeles! Suzette and Steve are awesome host! We stayed for 4 days and had a great time! The children all played together, we went to Labrea Tar pits, Travel Town, Hollywood, all in the first day. On the second day we went to the Long Beach Aquarium, pizza by the bay, it was great! The third day was the beach..it was a little cool at first but the children soon stripped down to their bathing suits and splashed in the water...the adults on the other hand sat in chairs all bundled up. Allen and Steve did play some rowdy games of soccer with the children. We went home had dinner and made Easter Baskets then sent the kids to bed so the Easter Bunny could come!
Easter Sunday was great, Easter Baskets, Church, dead car battery, yummy food and easter egg hunt, FHE! The trip was a blast and we were happily exhausted as we headed back home on Monday! The thing I loved most about the trip are the memories the children make with their cousins, cute programs, silly arguments, fun crafts, Guitar Hero, Sing it, scooters, laughter and fun! Thanks again Suzette and Steve!
