We got hit!

We got hit with the sick bug. Elijah got sick with some kind of stomach thing late Thursday into the wee hours on Friday. So Friday we stay home again. Maya has nasty running nose with a bad cough. Alex woke up Saturday with a head cold and that afternoon I was sick with what ever Elijah had. On Sunday I gave it to Jeremiah. (do you want to come over and play with us?)
So that ended Alex's spring break. At lease we had fun at the beginning.
I just wished that Jackie didn't take back HER camera. We could of had some great pictures to show you. I hope to have a new camera soon.

Rain on my parade

Toady I wanted to go to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. But it was cold and rainy.
The back up plan worked just fine. We went to the movies to watch "Horten Hears a Who." Alisa and Grandma Atkinson went to lunch and a movie with us. Then played a little Wii.
At the end of our day I asked Alex if I could read to him and he told me "I want to play with Dad" So Alex finished his night with his Dad playing Operation.

Windy Wensday

Today we went to the park to fly kites, that the boys got for Easter. Carissa, Kylie, Alex and I had more fun than Elijah and Cason. Cason and Elijah just did their own thing.
The kids helped make dinner and then we watched The Bee Movie.
(I really miss my camera. The blog is just boring without it!)

Day two the Zoo

We had a good time at the zoo today. Cyndi and Jackie came with their kids. There were 8 kids and 3 adults. We fed some birds and saw about half the zoo. The Moms got tired and we went to McDonald's play land and had some lunch. After that we went back to the house for some WAXING!
After the redness went away we listened to the kids sing High School Musical. They did a great job.
Tomorrow we are staying home (with a few errands to run). These kids know how to ware you out:0)

Spring Break!!!!

Today we started our fun filled spring break with a trip to The Nature and Science Museum. Alex had a blast looking at the new exhibition Gold. We saw a lot of different shapes and sizes of gold. Then we watched a movie about how gold was made. Alex just loved looking and showing me the words he could read. He loves his rocks and minerals!!!
Elijah and Maya loved the dinosaurs. Elijah took his time looking at every dinosaur that was there. Maya had to run up to everything she could. She wore me out before she was tired. It was a great day. Tomorrow we are heading to the ZOO.
(sorry no pictures.) The house was broken in to a couple weeks ago and they took my camera. Ok and some other thing but I'm more mad about the camera. We are fine. We weren't home when it happened,we were eating with Alex at school!

The best love movie Enchanted

Enchanted came out on DVD today. As a family we watch my new favorite movie. Maya really loved it as well. She danced and sang right a long with the movie.

Happy St. Pattie's Day

I hope you wore green!! Alex had that covered. I mean covered, head to toe. He wore green shoes, green pants, and two green shirts. His teacher gave him a green hat. Alex had the idea for dinner, green eggs, ham and green hash browns. For dessert we had green jello, green dough nuts, and green sherbet. The missionaries came over for are feast. The kids loved the dough nuts the most.
