Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas this weekend to get out of the cold weather. Even though it wasn't snowing, it wasn't very warm. We still had a good time. We went with my mom and dad. My dad's birthday is tomorrow and he is the main reason we went. We went to Hard Rock Cafe, the Bellagio to see the beautiful spring flowers and to Rainforest Cafe. We also went to In-n-out of course. Luckily we made it in before a bus load of elderly German people unloaded. Adrian and I made it to the Mirage buffet where we ate WAY too much, but it was worth it. Does it seem like we spent most of the time eating?? Time to get back on the treadmill! The kids love staying in hotels and swimming so we swam everyday we were there, regardless of how windy or cold it was. Alex kept telling us how warm the water was, all the while his teeth were chattering.

Little Ballerina

Abby is doing so well in her ballet class. They are getting ready for the recital in June.

Oceanside, CA

Our family spent a week in Oceanside and got back last night. It was nice to see the sunshine and be able to wear flip flops and shorts. It was rainy the first couple of days but cleared up to be beautiful and warm the rest of the week. Monday the rain cleared up and we went out to walk on Oceanside Pier. We saw some pelicans-one almost took a bite out of Patrick's leg when he got too close. Saturday night we ate at Ruby's diner at the end of the pier. What a fun trip!

IN-N-OUT!

Christian got his first taste of In-n-Out Burger. We probably ate here 5 times during the week. I can't get enough! Draper will be getting one (finally in Utah) this August!!! Can you tell I'm excited?

Fun on the Beach

We spent time playing on the beach in Oceanside. The kids had so much fun in the water and playing in the sand, it didn't matter to them how cold the water was. Abby made "sloppy joes" out of water and sand and Christian kept wandering off making new friends.

Haunted House

In Old Town San Diego we visited the historic Whaley House. I finally made it! (The last time we were here I decided not to go on the tour and I regretted it). The Travel Channel has named it the most haunted house in America. I went in with Patrick and took the tour. It was a weird old house, but we didn't see or feel any ghosts. I think Patrick was disappointed a little.

A Very Merry Un-Birthday

Abby had to go on the tea cups at Disneyland. I told her I would go as long as we didn't spin-I'm not that young anymore.
