Today I am 33!!

Today was my birthday. John was a sweetheart and got a substitute for seminary and took the day off of work. He got a babysitter so we could go to the movies and get some clothes shopping done. It was a lot fun. I got some shirts which I was so in need of and I even graduated to a real purse. I am so excited. I never have been a purse girl but this one is so cute. I got it at Ross so I got it way cheaper than what I saw at another store. No more diaper bags for me.

Drama

Lately I feel there is constantly drama going on. Last night Briauna got locked in the car. We were getting ready to go see my mom and I couldn't my keys. I had Garrett help by putting Briauna and our little dog in the car. He came back in to get something and when he went out to the car he noticed it was locked. At first I didn't panic but then when I still couldn't find my keys I called John and told him to come home NOW. A long 30 minutes later we got her out. Thankfully the car was in the garage and had been all day so it wasn't too hot. It was a relief to have her out. The kids even got scared. She was fine but upset to be stuck in the car seat for so long without the car moving. We still don't know how the car locked and the keys are still lost.

Milk Allergy?

Briauna does not tolerate dairy products very well. At first it started with just a crazy runny nose. Lance also had this problem when he was about her age and he ended up growing out of it. Last Sunday someone in nursery gave Braiuna food with cheese in it by accident. By Sunday night the nose started running. Monday she had a fever and started getting wheezy. We have been giving her treatments and hoping she will feel better soon. This was by far the worst reaction she has had. I definitely need to make sure she doesn't get and dairy. It isn't life threatening but she sure is miserable.

Children's Museum of a Phoenix

Today a couple of friends and I went to the children's museum. I had never gone and my friends got culture passes so we went. It was so fun. Something my boys probably wouldn't enjoy but the girls loved it. I a definatley going back. Jenna just went last week with our nieghbor and she was so excited to go again. The people that came up with the different ideas and room are amazing. Way fun!!!!

We love Noodle Forrest

The ice cream stand was also a hit.

The store was busy and fun. Every kids must love to shop.

Jenna enjoyed making pizza.

The ball room was great.

Jenna tried real hard to ride the car but doing it one armed was difficult.

Briauna loved the 2 and under room.

The art room was what Jenna kept telling me about when she went last week.

Phoenix Zoo

Monday I got to attend the zoo with Caleb's second grade class. I don't particularly like the zoo but he wanted me to go so I went. They have been studying animals in class and just finished reports on the animal that they picked. So the zoo was an appropriate field trip. Caleb picked monkeys so we had to go their first. They had to learn something new about their animal so they could write a few sentences when they got back to school. We had fun even thought it was VERY hot. We walked with a couple of other mom who I happen to be friends with and then we were in charge of a couple of other kids. It was fun to be with just Caleb and he even thanked me for going and said he had a lot of fun. If you don't know Caleb that is saying a lot. I am so glad I went even though it was like 100 degrees. Sometime I wonder why I live in Arizona.

The class

The Science Center

Saturday we took the kids, minus Garrett to the Science Center downtown. I was able to get culture passes and was excited to go. The boys had a bad attitude about going. They haven't ever gone so they had no idea what it was like. I kept telling them it would be fun but you know moms don't know anything. Lance kept saying he didn't want to learn about science. Once we got there their whole attitude changed. Amazing isn't it, moms actually do know what they are talking about. They had so much fun. The third floor was the favorite. They love Forces of Nature and the Digital World room. When it was time to go they didn't want to leave. It was nice of Lance at he end to apologize for not wanting to go and thanking me for taking him. It was a great day and we only lost Briauna once. She is so fast. I turned around to put something in the diaper bag and when I turned back around she was gone. Luckily a nice mom picked her up and was taking her to security. That little stinker went up the stairs to the 2nd level. After a slight heart attack the rest of the day went without any hiccups and we had a great time. I am getting her a leash.

This was a mind game, you had to be more relaxed to win. Lance won twice and Caleb won once.

This room was all about electricity and magnetics.

This area was about the weather. This was where Forces of Nature was located.

The Digital World was so fun.

Easter Weekend

Saturday we went to an Easter egg hunt in our neighborhood. It was fun and did not get rained on. Briauna loved getting the eggs. I had a hard time holding her back until it was time to start. They had a bouncy, petting zoo and other activities.

Sunday after church we had John's brother and his wife over for dinner. They brought kites for the boys which they loved. Garrett have been watching the weather everyday since to see if it will be windy enough to fly them again. It was a good weekend but strange with my parents being gone. We missed them and look forward to seeing them when they return.
