the day at the museum.

On President's day we took the kids to the dinosaur museum which we have never gone before and the kids had so much fun. There was definitely a lot of neat things to explore and I think they learned a little something about dinosaurs.

Brendan was the most excited to see this big shark.
Digging for gold....never found any:(

Can you believe how big they were???

digging for bones and they got lucky this time:)
Ryan had the day off "kind of" he has been working really hard and very long days so we sure love it when we can talk him into taking a day off to come hang out and do something fun with the family.

the new look...

So I go away for the weekend and Ryan starts changing things. Well really only one thing! Brendan's hair!!! We have been growing out it out for so long and he takes him in for a "little" trim and out come this handsome little boy with shorter hair. It makes him look a couple years older. I was nervous to see it but I really like the new look on him. His hair was getting a little shaggy and we needed to do something with it so I guess I am glad Ryan took charge.
Before...


After...

nothing like a weekend away.

We went up to Wolfcreek for the weekend with some friends and had such a great time. Went sledding, playing games, watching movies (even some that are not out on DVD yet...shhh) and staying up so late talking that we started to get a little silly!! Ryan has been working sooo much this last month that it was so nice to just have daddy around to play. Thanks Bevans and Fishers for coming and hanging out with us!!










Last week Mckaela received an award for being Responsible by her teacher. They make a big deal about it, have an assemble for the whole school and the parents get to come and see the kids get these awards. It was pretty neat to see her be up on stage as she get's the award from the Principle. She was very excited to be apart of it all.
