Our beach trip...

We went to the beach this last Tuesday and Wednesday and we had so much fun! Here's a truck load of pictures to look at. Start from the bottom...

More aquarium pictures...

These are not jellyfish, they are "bubbles"

Violet wanted to stay here and talk to her "friend"

Ewww....

I'm actually touching a starfish!

No matter how many times Mommy told Violet that these were crabs...

she kept calling them spiders

Us

You can see we were pretty high up, but who cares when we pay nada for the tickets

Marylou MacMahon and I (her hubby got us the tickets from his work)

Yesterday Paul and I were given tickets to the Utah - Oregon game. We had so much fun - minus the direct sun and the wasps that were flying all around us (I have a major fear of bees, so sitting there the whole game was a big triump to me). Paul's wonderful parents took our Violet and Jude Friday night and Saturday so we would be able to have a day to ourselves. It was a good game to go to since it was a guarantee win for us.

Mommy's boobies....

A few family updates to keep everyone posted:
Jude is crawling and sitting up all on his own
He is now reaching out for mommy when someone else is holding him
Violet's talking like a little grown up
She is starting "play"school this Thursday

Sunday at church Violet was sitting on my lap and started saying as she patted on my chest "mommy's boobies, mommy's boobies...." over and over (I'm not sure where she learned the word boobies). Luckily we were sitting in the very last row :).
