A Fun Family Trip

We decided to take the kids to an Aquarium in Boise today. They  were so excited, and as far as I could tell they had a ball. At the Aquarium they were allowed to touch the fish, but not one of them would do it. Kael came close, but was  having more fun splashing the water than anything. Havyn would stick her hand in the water and quickly pull it out and laugh in excitement.  Kai was "scared" as always. I think he tells us he is scared as an excuse anymore. He is scared when he wants to rock-a-bye, he is scared if he is tired, he is scared if he has done something wrong, and the list goes on. He is  a silly boy! Koen just didn't have any desire to touch them, and I totally understand, I didn't either. Tyrell on the other hand was all for touching them. He said the sting ray felt cool, but I still really didn't have a desire to touch it. After seeing the fish the kids were able to get balloon fish that people were making for tips in the aquarium. Koen picked an Octopus, so naturally Kai wanted the same thing, but he wanted his to be orange not blue. Havyn just got a butterfly, and Kael got a little turtle. I bet you are all wondering how long these balloons lasted, and I can say Kai's was the first to go, about 5 min. after he got it. Koen's lasted the longest because he was really careful with it, and wouldn't let the little kids touch it. His made it until bedtime tonight, and then he popped it for fun.

Havyn and Kael (The Goofs)

Kael has recently decided he is 2 or something. He throws temper tantrums like a 2 year old, he won't eat without a spoon, he runs away when you attempt to change his diaper, and he thinks he can do "big" kid things. One of those things is sit in chairs. He tips over quite often. Good thing his favorite chair is a little blue plastic one. On this particular morning he and Havyn were having a ball laughing at each other sitting in the chairs, and then all of a sudden Havyn touched his chair, and she got the dirty look, and melt down you see beginning in the second picture.

Our weekend

We went to the park with my mom and the kids acted like it was the best thing ever! Kael threw rocks and loved the slides while Havyn took a while to decide the slide wasn't so bad. The older two of course weren't scared for a minute.

Happy Birthday Kael

We celebrated Karl's 1st birthday this weekend while we were visiting my family. He didn't have a clue what was going on and could care less about the cake. He threw his on the floor. Everyone else enjoyed and I am still shocked he has been around a year!

Happy birthday Havyn

It's Havyn's birthday and she was tickled pink I guess! Haha! She must have grabbed the food coloring when I ran upstairs for like 2 minutes (it was a quick trip) to lay Kael down. I was coloring frosting for her cake. She drank it too and her teeth are stained and her tongue. At least it got on her and nothing else.

Happy 3rd Birthday Kai

Yes the cake is ugly but he likes it. It is different colors inside so that's cool. He was so excited about getting slinky dog he peed his pants, and it's the only toy he cares to tell people he got. We also had to light the candle on his cake three times because Koen kept blowing it out.

Why The Windows Are Always Dirty

The kids have an obsession so if you come to my house and think I never clean the windows you see wrong. And yes, Kai is running around in underwear. I can't keep close on the kid. The kids walking home from school got a show this afternoon. Oh well!
