I love free things!!!!

We just discovered that every third Friday is a free day at the Miami Children's Museum. It was a blast. Here are some of the things we did.

This months special theme is The Wizard Of Oz, so they had a few exhibits that catered to that. Pretty cool!

We took him to the pound.

They got to ride Highway Patrol Motorcycle like Uncle Chris.

They got to drive a firetruck and slide down the pole.

They fixed Daddy up!

Bryant just thought it looked better this way.


They got to learn how to count and maker their own money at the bank.

We went on a ship deck and they got to drive a ship, play some music, telephone the crew, and ring the deck bell.





And Paul got to make his hands and feet even bigger. As if that needed to happen.


At the end the scarecrow and a story teller told the story of the Wizard Of Oz and taught the kids how to skip like they did in the movie. Bryant more ran than skipped, but he loved it.

Then last we played at the park and this is the rain maker. It sounded like falling rain. There was also a thunder maker. He just really liked it and so did Briley.

A day at the Park

Lets start out by telling you that Briley hates the swings. She likes to swing from them, but she will not sit in one. And I guess we should mention that Bryant is a thief on the playground. He steals every ones sand toys. This particular time it was a big shovel. Paul...still on Spring Break decided the kids needed out of the house. We tried to have Bryant ride his scooter there, but that didn't last long. Briley ended up liking it more.




This is a funny story. Briley, when she gets mad, puts her into the carpet. The sand was the same unfortunately for her. She had it all in her mouth, up her nose, and in her eyes. Maybe she'll learn to not be such a drama queen.

She swings on everything. She even tried to swing from a plastic thing at the mall. Goofy girl!



It was a nice relaxing afternoon.

The Bad, the Worse, and the Wonderful!

We decided to take a temple trip with a couple from our ward. For whatever reason, whenever we go to Orlando something bad, or bazaar has to happen to us. Right out of the gate we realise Paul doesn't have his debit card. We were just praying he left it home. Onward! Bryant wouldn't have any breakfast in the car and kept saying he had to go to the bathroom. We finally pull over to let him go and he then decides he's sick, but no throw up so we continue on. 10 minutes down the road he throws up all over himself. Just wonderful! Did I mention our GPS broke so we were following the other couple. They thankfully noticed and pulled off too. After four and a half hours we finally get there. We had it set up so that the other couple and us would be in the same hotel, so that we could put kids down and play games. Turns out they are staying 3 miles down the road at the same named hotel. We decided to go out for dinner...Bryant throws up all over the table...we go home. The Andersons decided to come to our place to watch the Bachelor Finally and somehow the kids lost my car keys in the room. (By the way, they were never recovered.) That whole night my little Bryant talked loudly in his sleep, Paul snored, and Briley coughed, which means no sleep for mommy. The next morning we find out that Kade, the Andersons little boy, was throwing up all night and they didn't sleep either. Off to the temple anyway. They went first so we drove to a park for the kids to play at, which went well, and then traded. Since we were all tired we just ended up doing sealings, but it was nice to have a break from the total craziness outside. After all that mess, it's funny how the spirit of the temple makes it all worth while.









Trek Bike demo


On Saturday morning heading into Spring Break, at Oletta? State Park TREK was having a bike demo day. Anyone who wanted could come try out their mountain bikes. They had all kinds of riding trails that Paul said were kind of challenging. Of course he isn't a mountain biker and his huge feet got caught on branches that he went over, but he had a blast. The kids and I went to the playground and walked around the trails a bit. After he was done riding they offered a free BBQ. Good start to the Break.

Yet another golof outing...

To start out his Spring break, Paul took the family to the driving range. Our little Bryant is quite the little golfer. Briley pretends but mostly lays around the green on her burp rag, you know...trying to prevent anyone from making anything. Here is some of the pictures.







Superbabies?

One morning while really bored and looking for something fun to do, Bryant discovered our wedding napkins in the closet. Turns out they are just perfect for superman capes. He pretended to fly around all morning. Briley just likes to do everything the big brother does, so se joined right in. Boring morning, no more!!
