February 2007

We had a fun trip to San Diego with Rick's parents.

On the 22nd we went to the San Diego Zoo. We went on the bus tour first and we all got our hands stamped. Joseph was so excited-on the tour he would proudly show his hand to each animal and say, "See my stamp!"

This is us with the panda at the zoo. The next day we went to Sea World, or the Water Zoo as they liked to call it. They loved feeding the dolphins. They also got to feed the sting rays, but Lexie was a little more scared of them. We got to have lunch with Shamu and that was an awesome experience. It was fun to eat a good lunch while learning about the whales from their trainers and having them swim so close to us. They had some really great shows and lots of hands on exhibits. Our last day we explored the Wild Animal Park. Joseph's favorite part was the train ride around the park where we got to see most of the animals out in the "wild". Lexie's favorite part was seeing the giraffes.

January 2007

We thought we would start with some highlights of the year.

January:
started off nicely with the Fiesta Bowl. Boise State had an amazing game against Oklahoma. The kids sure loved it. Still today, when they really don't want to go to bed they say, "Can we pop popcorn, and watch football and say 'Touchdown!'?" Melts Rick's heart everytime. How can you say no to that?

In the beginning...

We have finally entered the 21st century... here is our family blog. I hope this will be a nice way for everyone to read about our family happenings, post some pictures, keep in touch with friends and family a little bit better, and perhaps make you laugh along the way. Enjoy!
