The Aquarium

I have been off all week with Owen since his daycare is closed for holiday break so we went to the National Aquarium with Danielle and her 2 kids. We had a great time although everyone else in the world had the same idea! We were wore out by the end of the day and the kids slept the entire way home.

City Kids

They do not allow strollers in the aquarium, which is a terrible idea!! So Danielle and I had a great idea to get the backpacks that they had there and put the kids in those.

We were cracking up the whole time, because they hurt so bad and we kept knocking people out with them!  So we had to ditch them half way through the aquarium because we were in so much pain.

I was holding on for dear life, cause I thought I was just going to fall backwards!lol

Danielle looks like shes about to take off into space in this picture

Logan was such a big help with carrying diapers and holding Owen’s hand :)

 

Touching all the pretty lights

Eating the metal bar, so sanitary!

 

 

 

 

Of course my child would find the only book in the museum!

 

We dressed Owen up as a shark…

 

and Kenleigh as a starfish

Christmas!!

I’m a little late on posting about Christmas…but did you expect anything else? We had a great time this year and of course got to see all of our family in the process. Owen was more into Christmas this year then last and he loved all of his toys. I have tons of pics(actually 176 from christmas alone, don’t get scared I’m not posting them all) so I’m going to jump right into them!
On Christmas Eve we went over Nana and PaPa’s house (Eric’s parents) and got all kinds of good presents!



Of course Owen loved the first toy he got and wanted to play with it but we finally got him to figure out he had more to open.



He would take the wrapping paper and throw it over his shoulder lol





He loves himself some elmo!

Then we went over my parents house to stay the night Christmas Eve, my sister and her boyfriend stayed the night too

And woke up to all of these presents

And of course Owen trying to help

Then we came home to relax and Owen got to play with his kitchen set we had waiting for him…. The one Jen gave him was to big for the room so we gave it to Eric’s mom a while ago, so this was all new to him and he loved it

Playing with his talking Chuck

and his new tent..

He has always loved tunnels so as soon as we saw this we had to get it for him





His new hat made out of a bowl.lol
