lions and tigers and mermaids???

yesterday i played hookie from work j/k i actually got to take most of the day off because i am working on sat. anyway we decided to take the kids to vegas to have some fun. here we live only a few hours away and we've never taken them down there. we went to silverton to the big aquarium there and saw stingrays, sharks, fish, and this is where elle got to see the mermaid. in the afternoons a girl dresses up in a mermaid costume and dives into the tank with all the fish and entertains the little kids. elle loved the mermai.d she played peek a boo with her and gave her a high five and knuckles and was super entertained. they also have a big pro bass shop here and trey and cale had fun checking out all the stuffed animals and gadgets that they have. they've got a little shooting range with toy guns and the kids(by kids i really mean cale :) had a blast!! we also got to see some ducks in their water feature. this place was great! next we headed to MGM grand to see the lions habitat. they weren't out because of feeding time so we walked on over to their rainforest cafe and ate dinner. this is where the kids got to eat during a thunder storm and got their balloon hats. trey's was a pirate hat and elle's a tiara. they also have a ton of fish tanks all over and a water feature that had rainbows. it was like eating in a rainforest for sure! after dinner we went back to the lions habitat and they had a male and female lion out. we got to walk right under the female lion while she was chewing on a bone. it's crazy that you can get that close to one. next it was off to M&M world. that's right folks we went to the world of m&m's and got to see the kyle busch race car and i don't believe i've ever seen so many m&m's before in my life. we went up all 4 stories and looked outside at all the lights and all the people that were underneath us. i think the kids went into overload with everything that they got to see yesterday. I mean when you look at it they got to see:lions, stingrays, sharks, fish, mermaids, duck, airplanes, and tons of other thing. they also had a blast going on the escalators. over all it was fun and not to shabby for a 5 hour trip to vegas!! i will post more pics later.

funny

so i thought that this was funny. kids can say the cutest things sometimes.

Trey: mommy i go poo poo.
Me: ok lets go.

so i'm waiting outside the door for him to finish and he yells

t:mom it don't work
me:what doesn't work
t:my butt! it don't work.

he eventually went but come on that's pretty cute right?!!!

weekend

wow what a weekend indeed. poor cale's family came down to visit and we were all sick! i apologize right now if any of you get this crap that we have!!! right now it's 10:30pm and elle is asleep and no one has puked in a little over 2 hours!! i think we're over it(fingers crossed)and might get a good nights rest! we have had fun with everyone and hope you all did too. thanks cobi, mom and dad for watching the kids for us on fri they really love you all and have so much fun with you guys! we can't wait to get together again!

time gone

Where has all the time gone? It seems like it was just yesterday when we found out that we were having Trey. Now I'm getting asked to send sarah my email address cause she's planning our 10 year high school reunion. Good grief has it really been that long?!!!! Cale and I just had our 7th anniversary and now he's getting ready to turn 30 in the next few months. Both our kids will be in preschool in a little while and I'm thinkin' it's time to seriously think about potty training Elle. What happened to my two little tykes that were babies, not a little boy and little girl?!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited that my kids are at the ages they are but sometimes, and I mean just sometimes, I miss having them be babies. It seems the days and weeks just blurr together and I don't have a clue what I've done with all of that time. I hope that most of it has been spent with my kids and hubby but I'm not sure. I do know that my house is a disaster and that we have toys all over the place, so my guess is that we must be having some fun! I just wish that time would slow down a little bit so that I can enjoy my family more!!! trey as a baby i think he was about 4 or 5 months old
elle about 10 or 11 months she really didn't like grass! here they are together a few months ago.

not again...

here we go again, i swear we were all just sick last week and now both kids have eye infections. i'm really hoping it's not pink eye but knowing our luck it will be. elle has it in both her eyes and trey in only one. cale has a major head cold, can't get out of bed and hurts so bad that it's ridiculous. we were up all night and now i need to head to work for a busy day. i don't mean to complain but geez can't we catch a break here?!!!
