Today I went to the Making Memories warehouse sale! I did a lot of damage to the checkbook. Jenna went to the zoo with her Aunt Charlotte. She had a lot of fun and enjoyed watching all of the animals.

Jason has been busy with school and is taking 2 classes this semester. He is taking English and Public Health. We have figured at the rate he is going, he will be done in about 5 1/2 years. That is mostly because he is going part time, taking 6 hours a semester - with working FT he is a pretty busy man.

In other news, all of you will be proud to know that I cooked tonight. I made some crockpot chicken and even bought a new spice! This time it was ginger. That means I will have to use it again.

Our speed vacation.

We decided that we needed to get away so we went to a nearby town and stayed in a hotel - all three of us. Jenna wouldn't fall asleep and was up past midnight and then Jason and I ended up on separate beds because she couldn't decide who she wanted to sleep with...talk about a long night.

In the morning we got up and went to the Living Planet Aquarium. We all love fish and the ocean and we thought it would be fun to check out. Although there isn't much there yet, we sure enjoyed it. Jenna loved everything exept when we asked her if she wanted to touch the sting rays.

After that we went to Chucky Cheese, talk about over priced cardboard pizza. Good thing Jenna enjoyed it. We had a lot of fun playing on all of the little token rides and they did have a cool machine that did sketches of you, so we did some of those. The characters were singing the same songs from 20 years ago when I went. Some things never change.


After that we headed to the Gateway and went to the new Children's Museum. We could have spent days there, we all enjoyed it. Jenna loved all the stations where she could dress up and Jason loved all of the building, water, and general playing. I loved the communication station - they have a radio station, weather channel, a place where you can do a news cast and a lot of other stuff.



Jason and Jenna loved the building blocks, while I did enjoy playing dress up with Jenna - I was little red riding hood.

I'm trying this out...

The whole blog thing is new to me, but I decided that this would probably be the best way for me to start sharing some of our family photos with everyone, so here we go.
