No Accounting For Taste

While we were at the Dinosaur Museum, we decided to have dinner. Denny made a strange concoction with his Chili Cheese Dog. He added mustard, ketchup, and barbeque sauce. He has always been my most adventurous eater. He likes sushi and also has even tasted BBQ Mealworms. (last year at dino museum) As you can see from the picture, Denny's friend was not impressed with the food outlook.

Dino Museum Time - April 08

I took the kids to the Dinosaur Museum while Spence was in Vegas. We brought along one of Denny's friends Colton. While we were there we had a great time. This was the first time that we were there that Arista was old enough to run around and participate.

Denny and his friend Colton being funny.

Here is the gang at the museum, some kind of ancient Shark.

Denny at the Erosion Table

Roman at the Erosion Table - mad that I'm taking another picture.

Arista before getting taken away from Erosion Table. Throwing sand was way too much fun.

Dirt Cakes & Bakes

Here is Ms. Maxine taking a second bath before family comes over for a party.
1st outfit - played on a rubber mat outside sucking dirty water up for a mud mustache. (darn no picture)
2nd outfit - climbed inside the fire pit outside getting coals in her hair and on clothes (again, no picture)
3rd outfit - played outside, under the tire swing, on the trampoline, had a blast. Mommy neglected to re-apply sunblock, giving Ms. Macky her 1st sunburn ever. (See below for picture.)

Backyard Park

We had a family get together on Sunday for our cousins baby shower. Roman and his cousin dressed up in Superhero gear.

Arista climbing up to the monkey bars. She will climb up and just hang till someone comes and grabs her.

Denny with his cousin Jamie, riding on the airplane teeter-totter.

Symphony - Video Games Music

We took Denny to the symphony for the 1st time. They were holding a concert called "Video Games Live". We had a great time. They played music from the early video games "Pac Man" and some of the current stuff, "Call of Duty" & "Halo". The music was fun and some of it very moving.



The redish orange curly stuff is a Glass Sculpture that looks like a big tree. Each individual curl is hand blown glass.

Easter Sunday

Easter Candy Hunt

Our friends had an Easter Candy Hunt. In the past they put them into eggs, now they just make a fun free-for-all with over 8,000 pieces of candy and toys spread across the park by their house. Arista started early collecting her favorites...lollipops.



Roman was in heaven with all the candy, he got so excited waiting that he ran around with the bucket on his head.

Denny and his friends came up with a strategy to work together. In the end they had more candy than any of them could eat.

After all of the candy and fun this was the sugar crash.

Fluff Setting Only

After pulling a load out of the dryer, I turned around to put another in. Arista climbed in before I could put the next load in. We really have to watch, she loves to get into small spaces. Yikes!
