A Few Days of Fun

What a beautiful couple of days! On Sunday, Anderson, Rufus, uncle Bubba, and I went for a walk along the waterfront. We tried to get Anderson to walk around the pebbly beach but he didn't like the feel of the rocks under his feet so he just sat their. I even tried to get him to stand up, but he just looked up at me and sat right back down. He has been in a strange phase where he doesn't like the feeling of things on his bare feet. A few days before our outing to the waterfront, the family went to the opening game at Safeco with some friends. I was a little nervous about how Anderson would do. Last year when we went to games Anderson was so young that he just slept through the game. I was nervous that he wouldn't want to sit still and would get cranky. Luckily, Anderson was a champ. He sat on our laps the whole game just watching the people and eating (he ate a lot---even for him). At one point, he and I went to the play structure, but since we didn't have reservations, we couldn't go on the toy. Hopefully he will be like this at every game we go to!

Fun in SLC

For Spring Break our family went to Salt Lake City to visit family friends. We had a very busy week full of lots of fun memories. Shauna, Paul, Joaquin, and Elena were great hosts and took us all over the city. With three kids, we also had a lot of down time. Josh and Anderson enjoyed watching the fish swim in this large tank. Anderson probably had more fun walking around clapping his hands, but he did look at the animals in the tanks and point.

Is there anything more fun then a bubble bath? The boys enjoyed splashing water and dumping water on each other. By the time the bath was over, I was soaking wet! But it was worth it, because they laughed and splashed the whole time and now I have a picture to show Anderson's first girl friend.

Since it snowed most of the time we were there, we spent most of our time indoors at museums, zoos, and aquariums. On this day, we just started walking and found the planetarium. While at the planetarium, Anderson, Joaquin, and I took a quick trip to the moon. We some how managed to get out of the spaceship without oxygen masks.

At the Planetarium, Josh couldn't resist the urge to play in the weather station. I think he had more fun then the children around him while he told us the weather for the day.

What a cute little baby! Elena is only 7 weeks old, but is already a big baby weighing almost 12 pounds. She spent most of our time in SLC sleeping, but she was a joy to hold.

The boys played together very well. They enjoyed playing in Joaquin's room with all his books and toys. Anderson enjoyed playing with an older child, he just watched Joaquin and would follow his lead.
