Guess where we went.....

This weekend since we were all feeling better we decided to take the kids to Sea World. We had a great time! Since it is a 30 min drive from our house it made it easy.

We went after Prince took his name so he was not so grouchy. Since he does not deal with crowds well I knew we would be in for an adventure. He did really well but when it came to pictures I got this:

When it came time for Princess' debut for the camera, I got things like this:

We went to feed the sea lions. They are pretty loud the actually do tricks for food.

Their food is also pretty stinky. Thank goodness SD fed them and not the kids. I really do not want to smell the fishy smell on my little ones hands!

We also went to see the manatees which I love. Sea World has a manatee rescue so they have some in there that have missing parts of their tails. It is really sad. Since I lived in Florida we learned about that, as sad as it is this does happen.

We had a great time!
We went to 2 shows and saw a lot of animals! The Shamu Rocks show was awesome at night. We went to the 8pm show and even though the kids were a bit tired at this point it was so worth it.

Right now if you are a San Diego resident you can pay kids price and go back a 2nd day for free!!! I highly recommend it!

Weekend wrap-up

Laundry done
My bathroom done
playroom done


A clean house to start of the week is the best feeling in the world. However it did not come without a fight and some disagreements. My husband does not seem to understand how good it feels to have a clean house and wake up and start your week off that way. He had things he wanted to do and I had what I felt I needed to do.

Now I have time this week to get started on some crafts.I can't wait!!

Weekend wrap-up

I would love to tell you that I had an exciting weekend but that's not the case.

However I did go shopping at the commisary on base. I am usually against such thing but I figured we will see.

I spent a chunk of change there. I do feel like I got some good buys. I got 4 bags of meat there so that was a chunk of the money.

I do not buy steaks and roast there. I do not like the texture of the meat I have got. I do buy chick, pork, turkey, sausage, and other meats. Just not choice cuts.

I am hoping the veggies I bought this time last longer. I have been making some good and healthy dishes lately. SD swears its because I got a new sautae pan for my birthday!

Sunday was relaxing. I watched the Chargers lose to Denver. What an upsetting game!

I did however cash in some of My Coke Rewards and get BOGOFOf my Coke Zero! Coke products are not on sale this week and I do not want to pay $4 a 12 pack!

Like I said relaxing!

Weekend wrap-up

My weekend started off really depressing. I turned 27, went to the doctor and just was not feeling so well.

Turning 27 overall has not been so bad. I just really feel like a mom and older. I know that it is more mental than anything. I think I am okay with it. I just really do not ever want to be considered "old". I am trying to be optimistic and know that age happens!

I went to the doctor because I have not had my cycle since June. I have had 1 blood test and I can't tell you how many urine tests. They all came back to me negative. No pregnancy was not the issue. I have been tired more. So it is something that I wanted to know. My doctor decided that he wanted to do a blood panel for my thyroid. I would find out the results later this coming week.

Now... This has left me sad, depress, in fear, scared. I do not want to gain weight, take pills the rest of my life, have surgery. I have read up on the issue. I have a lot of the things related to the issue. I know that I need to take my happy self to the gym and eat right.

This also leaves me somewhat bummed because I wanted more kids. The more and more I read it says that getting pregnant when you have thyroid issues is a lot harder than if your hormones were regulated. All of this is just assumption from the doctor. I will know more later. Perhaps i am jumping to conclusions but I always do that.

Heres to a better week!!!

Weekend Wrap UP

Honestly I can not remember what we did this weekend. I know we went grocery shopping. Oh crap! Oopos! My father came up from West Palm! He hasn't seen the kids since Brianna's 2nd birthday. Has not seen Ethan since the same time. He was a month old. My dad has aged. He has had kidney cancer (last November) and has had knee surgery (May 2006 I believe). He is grey now and thinner than 4 years ago. My father and I have had some rough times but I love him. I am a very lucky gal.

That's about it. For the weekend. Dad came Saturday at about 3 and left Monday morning. It was a good time.

Weekend Wrap UP

So my journey began Friday morning. We were off. Just the kids and I on a jet plane ride. For the east. Florida actually. They did great on the ride. Better than most kids. Nursing on the first flight was not an option because 1) Ethan is huge 2)there was a seat with a man sitting in it and Ethan is a flasher. So I had a bottle of his milk already and he was fine with that. Parents let's talk about flying with our kids. They make drammine for children 2 and over. If you can afford that plane ticket get you some. It was well worth the money rite aid took from me. Both children were very chill and hung out. The layover was hard but I was chasing them. I had a long layover so the kids could get up and move. Then our last flight was quick but they slept the entire time. It was nice.

My parents met us at the airport to help with stuff. They were all here. I felt loved. We waited forever and a day for luggage then began the journey home. We drove for what felt like hours to get to my parents house. The kids had to wind down and honestly so did I. The kids went to bed by 9PM pacific time and I fell asleep with them. Keep in mind that its 12am here. Fireworks still going off and everything. I heard them till 1 am.

Saturday I went to SUPER WALMART with my mom. We don't have those where I live. I got a swim suit and a new one for Brianna for $3! I couldn't believe it.

We went swimming today and yesterday the kids love it. I am glad that we were able bring the kids here. Ethan is having some separation issues. He doesn't really like me out of his sight.

All and all our weekend was wonderful. I miss home and SD but I think he will learn a thing or two with this trip.
