Fun in Tucson!

 

Arek had to have an MRI done in Tucson early morning on a Saturday so we decided to not make a pointless trip and make a fun day out of it. After his appointment we took the kids to the Zoo and the Children's Museum. Of course they loved it. All these firsts for Liam are so much fun watching him try to take in this huge world.. it's going to be so exciting when he can really understand and enjoy it, too.

We had a great time at the zoo. The kids ran from exhibit to exhibit. They are both such animal lovers so you just can't go wrong taking them to the Zoo. We got to see baby cubs in the Lion exhibit since mama just had them two months before. They were so cute. The polar bear was also out this time, too. He was not in a good mood but so neat to watch. Usually he is hiding in his den. After the Zoo we headed over to the Children's Museum. 

The Children's Museum is always fun. We went two days before the new bodyology exhibit opened so we were a little disappointed we didn't get to see that! They still had a great time. Liam slept for most of the time but MaKenzie and Titan loved it :)

We had a busy day but a good one. By the time we got home the kids were definitely worn out!

Halloween fun!

 Liam's first Halloween! Of course he was not old enough to enjoy it but MaKenzie and Titan sure did! They loved all of the Halloween festivities. We had pumpkin carving, a fall festival, trick or treating at the community center, trick or treating in the park, haunted house fun on base and trick or treating in the neighborhood. It was a busy weekend but the kids loved every second of it. It was so much fun watching them run around in their costumes say trick or treat. Titan was so into it this year and at one point gave up his scooby doo costume for a captain america costume. He really loved it. MaKenzie was a cowgirl and was so cute! All three of them are so stinkin' adorable! :)

 

 

 

25 years old!

It's hard to believe that I am 25 years old. Half way to fifty. A quarter of a century! For some reason, my birthday just did not start off on a good note. I was very thankful to be spending my birthday around family and friends, but the curse of the 22nd still follows me and I was not in a good mood, no matter how hard I tried! I did love spending time with my family. Aunt Dot made my birthday dinner, tacos.. my favorite! They were so good. Then we had cake and presents!

 

 

I was spoiled :) Thank you very much for all of my presents from my hubby and kids, Dot & Tad, The 4 C's, Grandma, mom and sisters, Brad James, Bailey and Tarron and Chad! I loved everything!! I especially loved the company! At 25 years old, I couldn't be more happy with my life. I know that I was destined to be a mommy and a wife. Being a mommy is the biggest joy in the world, I am especially thankful that I am able to stay home with them. It's the most rewarding job of all and I wouldn't have it any other way!! 

 

Adventure Dome!

We had Titan's big birthday party on the 16th, but we wanted to do something special and fun for him on his actual birthday the 20th! With the help of Uncle James getting us free tickets to the Adventure Dome we were able to take him there! It is always so much fun watching the kids run from ride to ride. We rode the bumper carts first and they loved it! I was not a fan, though. When you bump into another car it's pretty hard.. I didn't like it at all. They had fun, though!

 

The Pirate Ship ride was scary, for me! I am a bit of a baby, but still.. it was scary. The kids loved it at first then after like the 100th stomach drop they finally had enough and thankfully it ended shortly after that. After this, Arek and I rode the roller coaster. It was pretty scary but I didn't mind it! I am excited for when Kenzie and Titan will be able to ride the big rides. MaKenzie was two inches to short for the Roller Coaster! Although, she didn't care.. she was not wanting to ride it at all! :)

MaKenzie had to ride the Frog Hopper ride by herself. For some reason Titan was not going anywhere near it. We tried several times to convince him but he was just not having it! MaKenzie loved it though and rode it a couple times!

 

 

 Liam hung out with Grandma most of the time. She spoiled him with lots of hugs and kisses and he watched us ride a lot of the rides. It's going to be so much fun when he gets bigger and can join in on the action!

 

 

 Liam and Grandma did join us on the Merry Go Round, though :) Liam's first ride! 

 

Harley is as big of a baby as I am when it comes to rides, if not more :) So Arek had to trick her into this line then force her on the ride! haha. She had a lot of fun though and obviously, she survived ;) After this one he made her go on the Inverter, too! Arek and I came back to the Adventure Dome the next night for "Fright Dome" and made me ride the Inverter, too. Scariest ride ever. You hang upside down for what seems like forever and it feels like you are going to fall out of your seat. Hated it! Harley was brave though! 

Kenzie and Titan with Uncle James! They love where he works and were so happy he got them tickets and we were able to spend Titan's birthday there. It was a fun day! Thank you Uncle James! We did finish off in the arcade and carnival area so the kids could play a little. It was a great time!
