Mitt Romney Rally

We went to a Mitt Romney rally one Friday night.  They asked us to go up and stand with a group behind a sign for the cameras which was nice because we weren't in the huge crowd on the ground packed tight.  The kids had a little space to move around.  They gave us flags to wave and we found a picture of us on the Orlando Sentinel website the next day  :)

After School Fun

The day after my birthday we met my mom for some fun at Monkey Joe's.  We played there and then we enjoyed some pizza and cupcakes and then took the kids to a park to play for awhile  Here are my cute boys having fun.

 The boys loved the playground because it has fake grass and they had a blast running around without their shoes

Rexford's Book Report

Rexford has to do book reports each month to earn his Pizza Hut Book-It certificates.  Here is this month's report.  He did really well and I was so proud of him.

Busch Gardens with Family

We drove to Alyson's house one Sunday afternoon to visit and spend the night.  The boys loved playing with Matthew and Jacob and sleeping in the living room on the big air mattress.  The next morning we all went to Busch Gardens together.  It was fun having Todd and Aly there because we could take turns watching kids and we all got to go on the new roller coaster.  We had a really fun visit and can't wait to go back!

 Motorcycles!

 Austin loves this ride

 Austin didn't want to ride in Rexford's airplane this time.  He wanted to be a big boy and fly his own.

Using Our New Sea World Passes!

We got Sea World passes for Christmas and the boys couldn't wait to use them. We waited until the holidays were over and last Friday I picked Rexford up from school an hour early and we headed to Sea World. It wasn't too crowded and we got to do everything we wanted to do. We went on all the rides and it was so fun now that Austin is old enough and wants to do everything. He was hesitant on one of the rides but tried it anyway and loved it. It was a great afternoon with my two favorite little guys!

Austin wanted to take a picture with Shamu (he has never wanted to do this before) but we couldn't find Shamu so he took a picture with the dolphin. So cute!

We convinced Austin to try the crab ride that goes up and down. He was nervous but he loved it and we went a second time!

They still had some Christmas stuff out and they wanted to take a picture with the sleigh

So excited to ride the new train ride!

Train ride again :)

Steering the ship

Austin is a Sunbeam

It's a new year and since Austin is three years old now he gets to go to Primary at church like Rexford! He was very excited to be in the Sunbeam class and told me after church that "it was a fun day." Here are my two handsome big boys :)

Book Fairy

The Book Fairy brought new books for us on New Year's Day again this year. Rexford got a set of three Star Wars books and Austin got a DC Super Friends book. The boys loved their gifts!
