Tar Pits

So I married a science nerd and I love it!

We bought our first membership to a natural history museum.

We go to the LA temple and love to treat ourselves to a fun activity afterwards.

While we wait for the busy traffic to clear away.

With our NHM pass we can also go to the La Brea Tar pits.

So cool. Tar pits still in the middle of LA were tons I mean thousands of ice age bones layered in these pit of tar. The great thing is they are still digging and finding!

We found this wonderful tree that Mawmaw needs to come see

Summer time equals play time

For the first year ever I have two new years resolutions that are still happening. 

They are

#1 Get healthy and like my body

#2 Play and be happy

So often I feel bad Lucas goes of to work and comes home tired and just wants to put his feet up. But in my world that shouldn't be his daily life because he deserves to be happier and play. Not just work work work and then sleep.

So I make him do funny things... he complains less so I think he likes it. 

He says as long as there is a treat involved then he is in.

So I like to do as many of our activities free or under $10 so that way we can do 10-20 fun things a month instead of 2 or 3. Don't get me wrong hiring a sitter and going to a dinner and a movie is wonderful but expensive.

So last Thursday we went to watch a free kids theater variety show.

Mason loved it!

We only stayed for 20 min (Matthew didn't love it so much and mom's arms go tired of bouncing him)

Then we went to Dewar's a special hometown ice cream treat. With coupons in our pocket we enjoyed every bite.

Joy School

So this last year me and a few mom friends have had Joy School together twice a week we for two and a half hours. Mason loved loved loved it. It was hard a first leaving mom but earlier this month Mason jumped out of the car put on his ninja turtle backpack waved good bye and ran to the door. 

My baby is growing up. 

Often we would pretend our car was a school bus on the way to school and would sing " The wheels on the bus go round and round..." at the top of our lungs.

Man did we learn some fun things this last year!

Ants

Bugs

Bubbles

Sink or Float

Lizards

Birds

Dinosaurs last day 

My last day teaching we just played it was great.

We had a bubble day

We are in the kitchen getting ready for bubble art.

Sharing Snacks

Addison, I love her sometimes I would pretend she was mine and hug her time pat her cute bum. You always have to give these little ones a hug and a bum pat. 

Funny story you must not suck in when making snake bubbles, Addi learned the hard way. Lot of bubble in her tummy that day poor girl.

We will miss school this summer.

Mother's Day weekend

Forever I want to simply celebrate Mother's day with a guilt free doughnut.

Easy, simple, I feel loved The End
