Fall Break In St. George

Thursday when Das got off work, we headed to St. George for the weekend.  We invited the Mansourri's and the Joehannesen's.  Unfortunately, Kelly and Joe couldn't make it down cuz their kids became sick.  So Leesa and Kevin came down Friday evening. 

Friday before they got down, Das and I took the kids to the pool for a couple of hours.  The kids were so excited for Grace and Ellie to come.  They played well all weekend. 

Leesa and I got to spend some quality time together.  I have really enjoyed getting to know her better.  Saturday after breakfast we took all of the kids swimming.  We then came home, and got ready.  Well, I took a long nap with Logan......I expect to be taking a lot of long naps the next few months.  Leesa hung out with the kids, and Das and Kevin went golfing.  When they got back, we took off to dinner.  We wanted to take the kids to Pirate Island, but they have closed.:( 

We went to a burger joint instead.  When we got home, we were going to watch a movie and stay up late.  Yeah....that didn't happen.  But Kevin had a great time drawing on the kids faces. 

And on Das's as well.  I thought I would save Das the humiliation and not post it. lol

Sunday we took the kids over to a fun center and let them ride go karts and bumper boats.  Kevin and Leesa took off after that.  Das and I are staying another night.  We have sure had a great weekend though and lots of fun and exciting things happened.  Hopefully we will get to come again soon.

Another Little Monster to Join Our Family

Das and I knew we wanted our children close in age like Tristan and Ashton are.  So we timed this one really well.  But I didn't thinkwe would get pregnant and the first try.  We are so excited to have another baby.  And yes I am not going to lie.....a little girl would be nice.  But I sure do love my boys and we will be thrilled regarless.

Ashton's science fair project...

I came across the shrunken apple heads on pinterest.com.(Yes, addiction!)  I thought it would be a fun project to do with the boys for halloween. 

And then I remembered Ashton had his sciece fair coming up, and decided this would be a fun one to do. 

Das and I helped them carve the apples.  We then stuck one in water, one in salt water, and two in lemon salt juice. 

Ashton documented each day which apples were shrinking the best.  The lemon salt juice worked the best. 

Tristan's Birthday Surprise...

Since we celbrated Tristan's birtday a few days early, I wanted to do something for him on his actual birthday.  I got the idea from pintrest and waited for him to fall asleep, then snuck in his room and decorated it.  He was very excited when he woke up. 

He won't let me take them down yet.  And then that evening we got him a cake and sang happy birthday to him.  Happy Birthday Big Boy!
