Valentine's Day

Well we didn't do a whole lot since it landed on a weekday but I did want to write about how Dan got Katelynn her first bouquet of flowers. She was thrilled and she carried it around for a half hour. She kept smelling them and saying how pretty they were. She would say that my roses were pretty too but her flowers were prettier because they were colorful.

Mommy Daddy date night

Last weekend Dan and I got to go out. We went and saw Wicked in LA. The tickets were a Christmas present for me from Dan. Anyway, we dropped the kids off at my parents and went and had a late lunch/early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and then headed out to LA. The musical was playing at the Pantages, a beautiful theater built in the 1930's. If you haven't seen Wicked yet I highly recommend it. Of course I heard it was good but everyone must experience it for themselves. It was so good it brought tears to my eyes and I was so sad it was over. It's one of those musicals you can't get out of your head days later so I bought the sound track and now I can play it in my head over and over again.

Rainy Day boredom

We have had a lot of rainy days around here. We have been trying to come up with things to do and play with. One day Katelynn wanted to play dress up so I got her box down and left the room for a little while. When I got back I found her and her brother in her dress up clothes. I guess it's all innocent now and kind of cute.

Camping at Calico

A couple weekends ago we went camping at Calico Ghost Town. It's an old Silver mining town that was thriving in the 1880's. A lot of it had burned down and some has deteriorated from weather but there are some ruins and old buildings left and an old mine shaft that you can tour. There was lot's of history there and it was really neat.
