Swimming in April

Busy Busy Weekend.

This past weekend we were beyond busy. Thursday we went and got the boys after school when we got back we played Wii for a few hours. Friday we went to Art Under the Elms at LCSC, it wasnt as good as years past but you had fun. They had a huge monster truck jumping castle that you and uncles jumped in for like twenty minutes then there was a free family play area thing where you spent time making a book mark, bowling over these small pins on a table, playing a ring toss game and shooting hoops into a basket. That afternoon we went to the Asotin Rodeo for the kids rodeo night, your cousing Jake rode a bull but he got bucked off. You were amazed with the rodeo clown josh sheppard. You always new where he was at in the arena and what he was doing. They had mutin' bustin' and you said that you wanted to come home and get your chaps and hat so that you could ride a sheep. Next year I think I will sign you up to do it, if you go thru with it is entirely up to you. It was freezing cold watching the rodeo but you had alot of fun. The next morning we got up bright and early to go watch the Asotin fair parade. You really liked it and was amazed by the fire trucks and the big stuffed dinosaur thing. After that we went over to the carnival and you and tatiana rode the car ride, tatiana cryed most of the time but you had a great time waving at everyone and driving. I then took you through the monkey maze which you really liked too. After we were done there we went to the Pro Rodeo, you again kept your eyes on josh the rodeo clown most of the time. After the rodeo we went down and walked through the exibits. You really liked looking at all of the animals. After that we went back to the carnival and played all of the carnival games. You hit the thing with the big hammer and won a huge sword. You then went to the ducky pond and picked a duck out and won a stuffed duck. The next day papa came and got your uncles early so we went up to winchester lake to fish awhile, there was still snow up there and it was pretty cold. After fishing for about a hour I finally caught a fish. You were up in the car though and didnt get down there fast enough and the dang fish jumped off my hook. I was really excited to catch one finally. It was a busy weekend for sure but you were a trooper and didnt complain a bit.

Just One

This evening you came up to me and said "Mom my tummy is hungry" and I said well what would you like to eat? You then held up one finger and said One chicken nugget with nothing else just a chicken nugget. I cooked it for you, then gave it to you and then you said that you wernt hungry anymore. Sheesh it only took it 35 seconds to microwave, you sure lost your apatite fast!

Viva Las Vegas

Well we have been home for two days now from our big week in las vegas! It was a fun time but very very busy! You were a trooper though, you were awesome all week long! We had a five hour layover in salt lake city and you didnt even mind it at all. They had a play area there so we spent most of our time there. We finally got into vegas about eleven that night, you got to go on your first taxi ride right down the strip, it was all lit up and beautiful! We did so many things while we were there, we got to go to M&Ms world, tons of the hotels, we saw lions at MGM there was even a area where you could walk underneath of them and see them through the glass, you thought that was really cool. We went to the mirage and saw the White lions and tigers, a panther, dolphins, a couple of jaguars and some more lions, you really liked all of them. We got to go on a monarail ride down the strip which was awesome. You spent alot of time in the midway of our hotel Circus Circus playing carnival type games. You got to experience your first public transportation, huge double deckers buses called the duce. They were awful, they cramed us in there like cattle. YOu didnt seem to mind though. We went and saw the pirate show at treasure island where the girls sink the guys ship, there was huge fireworks and fire you were kind of scared of it but for the most part enjoyed it. We spent one whole day in the adventuredome riding all of the rides, you loved the spongebob ride and frogger but wasnt to thrilled with the rest of them. We got to go down to freemont street and do the freemont street experience. It was awesome there are thousands of lights that are on top of the street kind of like a dome and there is music that goes along with them. We watched the eleven and midnight shows so you were pretty beat when we were done there. We got to spend time at the pools swimming and playing around which was fun until you cut your toe open and it wouldnt stop bleeding. You enjoyed riding up and down the escalaters and there were even ones that were horizontal. I am so thankfull for the stroller, we spent so much time walking around you were glad to be able to just plop down and have someone push you. I think that you had a really good time but you are really glad to be home, whenever we go somewhere you really miss you toys!!
