Our trip to the Aquarium

It didn't happen! Here's the story.

They were having $1 day at all the main attractions in the city. Ryan and I told the kids we'd go to the Aquarium and they were super excited! Here's some pictures from the trip down.















We got there at 9:30 (30 min before they opened) to find the longest line EVER! We waited in line, which actually moved pretty fast. We pay for our tickets and find out that we can't get into the Aquarium till 2:15!!! What in the world could we do in the city for 4 1/2 hours in the FREEZING cold with 4 kids, including a not-so-patient 2 year old????? Well we left and went to......

The Bass Pro Shop to see Santa!!!! The kids didn't mind. Morgan and Jenna were a little bummed but we still had a great time.





No Aquarium but we still got to see fish!


Noah wasn't too thrilled with Santa but as long as Kelsey held him, he was fine.




We should've known that $6 for the whole family to go to the Aquarium was too good to be true! Maybe another time. :)

I've been a slacker

I've been slacking on updating this but I've been super busy. I'm about done my Christmas shopping which is awesome. Everythings already wrapped and ready to go.

A friend of mine, April, took pictures of my kids and I got them today. I'm soooo happy with them. Noah was not the least bit cooperative so I'm surprised she got so many good pictures. Here are some of my favorites....

























Didn't they turn out great?!?!

The twins are loving basketball! They played a little scrimmage the other day and Jenna got 3 baskets and Morgan got 2. They were so excited. Morgan says it's her favorite sport and I'm really proud of how aggressive she is. She's much more aggressive than she normally is with soccer or lacrosse. This might just be her sport! Jenna's the tallest one on the team. It makes her so mad. She hates being tall. We keep telling her that you want to be the tallest one on the team but she doesn't believe us! haha

Kelsey is loving indoor soccer and lacrosse. Her soccer team is pretty good, only losing one game so far. She's scored a couple goals and is just really having a great time. She has a really nice coach and she likes playing for him. Lacrosse is a different story. She likes it....but they're playing all these really good teams (most of them are 8th graders and her team is 6th/7th graders) and they're getting their butts kicked. All the other teams have been together for a while and her team is just a bunch of girls from all over thrown onto one team. It also makes it hard because they don't practice, they only have games. She likes it alot, it's just frustrating.

That's about it for now. I have some other pictures I plan on uploading and posting soon. :)
