Thanks Aunt Ash and Grandma!

Aunt Ashley always spoils Julia and Jack when she comes and visits. This time was no exception. She and Grandma Price surprised the kids by taking them to Build-a-Bear. They were so excited. We had never been there before. They both picked their bears and had them filled with stuffing. They had fun picking out hearts for their bears and kissing them. Jack's favorite part was washing his bear. He kept running over there while we were picking out clothes. In the end Julia dressed her bear as Sleeping Beauty and named her Briar Rose, Jack named his bear Batman (for obvious reasons.) They both love their bears and thought it was the best surprise ever. Thanks Aunt Ash and Grandma!!!

Rascal Flatts 2009

I took Julia to her first concert a couple of weeks ago. We went to the Rascal Flatts, Bob that Head concert. It was awesome! We went with my friends Alesha and Elisa. First we went to dinner then went to the concert. We didn't have great seats but then we got upgraded to awesome seats!!! Thanks Steve. We were moved to the front row right next to the walk way. The pictures we got will so how close we got. The concert was so fun and I loved that Julia came with me and was just as excited as me. During the concert, Gary, the lead singer, saw Julia and leaned over the railing so he could give her a high five. She thought it was so cool that he wanted to give her a high five. Julia was also given two balloons from people around us and the security guard. It was a really fun night!

February

We have had an eventful month this month. Julia had a field trip at the Tracy Aviary on one of the days that it was snowing. The kids didn't care, they loved being outside running around and being able to ride on the school bus. Jack and I met her there and walked around with her. It was cold but still fun.





Saturday was another beautiful day. So we went to the zoo. This time Moby was able to come with us. It was a perfect day. The animals were all very active, especially the capuchin monkeys, the cougars, and the snakes. The cougar was trying to eat a plastic zebra painted tube and the snakes were watching Jack and following his fingers. Later that night our ward had a Valentines dance. It was a lot of fun. Jack and Julia love to dance. They both found friends and people to dance with right away. Moby's parents' band played. It was a nice night. Sorry the pics didn't turn out from the dance.

Five!

Our family is growing from four to five. That's right, baby number three will be here around the first part of September. We are all excited, but I think Julia is the most excited. Since we told her, she has been telling anyone who is near her. We feel very blessed, we know how hard it is for some to get pregnant. I have just finished the first trimester, so hopefully I will start feeling better.

Let's go for a Walk

This morning I asked the kids if they wanted to go for a walk. They both started jumping up and down. Then I asked them where they wanted to walk and Jack yelled "outside!" So after teasing them we decided to go to the zoo. Jack has been asking to go for a while but it has been too cold. Today it got to 43 degrees and it was beautiful outside. The kids loved the zoo. I think they ran to almost every animal. Lucky for us we got to see almost all of them, including the elephants. The leopard was pacing the window as usual and the kids ran along with him. After walking around for a while we decided to get hot chocolate. It was yummy with whipped cream on the top. That was the kids favorite part of the drink. It was a fun day outside, we just wished Daddy didn't have to work!

Remodel

Since we moved into our house I have been wanting to remodel the kitchen. After almost 2 1/2 years we have finally done it. The main reason behind it was so I could have a dishwasher, I HATE doing the dishes. I would rather clean the bathroom and the toilet. We are almost finished. All we need to do is put on the base boards, caulk, and decorate (the funnest part.) Moby made the lower cabinet with the counter top. It looks awesome!!! I really like the color of the walls; it is very calming. So here are some pics. Sorry it has taken me so long to put them up Ash.

Chuck E. Cheese's

Today we went to Chuck E. Cheese's with Alesha and Ethan. It was a fun day. The kids loved playing the games and eating pizza. Julia really liked the water gun game and the picture machine. Jack liked the ducky game and the wack-a-croc game. Ethan was mesmerized with the characters on the stage. None of the kids would get very close to the stage, it was too scary. They just liked to watch them from afar. It was a fun day. The kids loved it and are fast asleep right now ;)
