It was so exciting.....

Ok, well I had to post this even though I didn't have my camera so theirs no picture, but yesterday we went to the beach and while we were relaxing I noticed something in the waves. It looked like a dead animal or something because it was just kind of laying there being tossed by the water. I was really worried, so I asked Mark what he thought, he agreed that it kind of looked like a dog. I decided I needed to get a better look so I got up and got closer and saw that it actually was a Sea Lion and it was alive! It was so cool. It totally popped his head out, and was looking at us, and while it was another came up too. I was totally excited. It was so cool, they were so close to us. I think it got me excited because I had never been this close to them other than the Zoo and at the Monterey Aquarium. But this was soooo much closer! Isn't that cool???

It's been a while

I know it has been awhile since I have posted an update about our family. We haven't been up to much, just having sick kids, and enjoying nice weather. I made a trip to Madera since Mark had a opportunity to work a bunch of overtime, and we thought it would be best for me and the kids to visit family so he could just work. I had a lot of fun visiting family and hanging out. I got there on Thursday, and on Saturday Night Enzo woke up throwing up and he didn't stop till late Sunday. It was not fun, especially not being at home where I can just put him in his own bed. Luckily I had Marks mom who helped me with him and stayed up with him all night so that I could sleep and take care of him on Sunday. She was so awesome. Everytime my kids have had the flu, she has been there and helped me. I don't do well with that kind of stuff, and Mark has been ether gone at the academy, and one time he was re-doing our plumbing in our house. Sick kids just arn't fun. Im lucky it doesn't happen often.
We came home Early Wednesday, and since it has been beautiful. Im so excited for Summer. I will add pictures soon. Mark has a week off in a few days, so we have a few fun things planned, and so I will be sure to take pictures. (Ashley I need my camera!!)

Summertime kind of?!




Ok so around Easter it was really warm so we got Kaelyn a little swimming pool since she and Enzo love water. Kaelyn couldn't wait to go swimming. After a few days of really hot weather, it got kind of chilly, so we were really hesitant about letting the kids go in the little pool. It seemed like every 5 mins Kaelyn was asking me if she could please go swimming, Mark advised me to just let her, even though it was really kind of cold. Well she jumped right in. Enzo seeing her in the water thought he wanted to go in too. So I got him all ready and when I put him in he wasn't happy. I hurried and took a picture of his face. Kaelyn on the other hand didn't mind how cold it was.

Santa Barbara Zoo






We had a fun day at the Santa Barbara Zoo yesterday. It was really awesome to see all that they had there. The zoo is right next to the beach so it was beautiful. The animals feel like they are right next to you. This was the first time Mark had gone with us to a zoo, and he really enjoyed it just as much as we did. We can't wait to go again.
