Heat wave

Well out here in Utah it hasn't seemed much like winter at all!  It's been awesome weather.  Eric is bummed because skiing is a no-go, but my old California self is loving it!

With the great weather comes good times!  Joey got to take a field trip with his preschool  to a deli in Spanish Fork where they make their own bread!  He got to wear a groovy hair net and tour the bakery.  After they gave him lunch and a Valentine cookie to decorate.  I ate the sandwich, he ate the cookie. 

 On a boring Saturday we went up to Salt Lake with Eric's parents to have lunch and go to a boat show.  We took the Front Runner train up just to add some pizzaz.  The kids thought it was great!

 Joey did not want to stay in his seat though.  He kept wanting to climb around but they have very strict rules on the train about shoes on seats (no kidding) so he couldn't.  He tried his best to cope...

 What a cutie and stinker all at the same time.

 Thanks to the "Dumb Ways to Die" song and video (check it out on youtube) they were good about staying behind the yellow line!

 It was a fun Saturday!

Then over President's Day we decided to take one last trip down to my mom's house.  It was pretty last minute, but we did it!  The weather there was awesome.  We went to the beach and of course, swam in the hot tub!

 My mom and Dick were kind enough to give Eric and I a night off and took the kids to Chuck E Cheese.  Going there has become kind of a ritual for us when we visit my mom.

 

We also tried something new this trip--kayaking!  It took a few little minor teeny weeny minute itty bitty white lies about Joey's swimming ability, but soon enough we were off!  Kayaking out into the open water!  Well, it was the ocean water technically but it was a series of canals through Long Beach.

 It was actually a lot of fun!  And no one fell in...bonus!

Now we are back and getting into the swing of things again after our quick vaca.  Hopefully soon we will be moving into the new house!
