metro to the museum of natural history

This was Aiden's first "train" ride and he enjoyed every minute of it.




Yeah!!! We're on the mall and the weather is great!


Aiden and the tyrannosaurus rex


It really hurts...


The "Discovery Room" was a big hit with Aiden and Sky. They got to touch and play with fossils, shells, bones, teeth, and other ancient artifacts. The microscope was a hit with Aiden. I can see him wanting a chemistry set in a couple of years.


Aiden hears the ocean.


Sky hears it too...


"Check this out, Mommy!" - Aiden


"Oh man, is this a skeleton?"


Junior scientist


"Look at the tentacles on that thing!"


The butterfly exhibit was cool but way over priced at $6/person...we were in there for like five minutes.



A great way to top off a trip to the museum!

You could stick a fork in her (but please don't)...she was DONE after that trip.

on thin ice

We like to keep things interesting in our family so today, we tried our luck out on the melting ice at a near by lake.


The kids had a blast.

Aiden with Daddy

it's gonna be a boy!

We found out today that we're going to have another BOY! Due date July 27, 2010.

When I told Aiden that the baby is going to be a boy, he seemed a little surprised. I don't think he can imagine having a brother since he's only ever had a sister. After he warmed up to the idea he suggested we name the baby boy, Shaiden.

i might not behave myself

"Sky would you like to learn Tae Kwon Do like Aiden?"

"I already know Tae Kwon Do - like THIS." Sky demonstrates a kick.

"But would you like to go to Tae Kwon Do class with Aiden?"

"No, no, cause, cause then I might not behave myself."
