Trip To Chicago

We went to Chicago last weekend.  First we went to the Aquarium then to the Field Museum which I carelessly left my camera in the car for the museum so NO pictures.  It took us ten hrs to get there.  

  This was on the way there the mountains were beautiful.

   

The next day after the aquarium we walked to the sears tower from the aquarium which is like 3hrs of walking.

 This is the aquarium selling.    

 Fish in the aquarium eating another fish.

 Thats what I call a smart fish.

 This is the best picture of a beluga whale I could get, you are not aloud to use flash in the aquarium so excuse the bad pictures.

 

 A giant jelly fish can you see the tentacles go so far back.

 Look at all the little fish.

Sarah Landon John and I got a separate room from the a joining room.  

On the way home we stopped at the science and industries museum.  This is Landon’s hand and you can see his veins.

Then we went home, and are living happily ever after.

 

Trip To The Butterfly House

The butterfly house got a touch pool with sting rays and little sharks.  The first time we went to the butterfly house I did not touch anything, but the second time I went with two friends and I touched every thing.                                                                                                        

A sharks tail and a crab of some sort.

 There is a more clear picture.

 Jellyfish.

 The lion fish the most poisonous fish that I know of. 

 This plant is unheard of  to be sean in SD, it grows in Hawaii. 

 

The second time we went is bellow.

  The one on the left is Hannah and the one on the right is Gretchen.

Daniel got lucky. 

 

Garden Tour

For the second year in a row Sarah, grandma Becky, and I have ben to to the garden tour.  

All the picture I am posting I took with care.

 

  The first house was mostly fruit and veggies.    

 And everything was growing out of mettle cans.  

 Can you see the black wasp. : ‘ (  very scary.  While I was taking the pictures I knew it was there.

 Water lilly.

  I think the snap dragons are my favorite flower.  Wich one is your favorite. 

Joseph’s Birthday

To day is joseph’s 6th birthday!

For his birthday I gave him gum and, I split a squirt gun with John.  He picked a strawberry short cake for his birthday.

P.S. Mom was late on getting Daniel’s birthday gifts so they are in here too.

Grandparent presents were dons in the Morning.     Cake at night.                                                                                                                                                Mom and dad’s gift.                                                                                                                       I had lots of trouble getting Daniel to smile and NOT to cover his face with his shield or his costume.     

More pictures coming.

Ballet Is Almost Over

I can’t believe that Ballet is almost over.   I think that I am ready for ballet to be over for the summer, and I think I am taking lessons next year. 

And this Tuesday I am very exited  because I go with Sarah at 4:00 then I have to wait until 5:30  when my class starts.  But this time at 4:45 a lady is coming to teach a class and I get to watch her six week old baby because her husband all of a sudden had to go out of town.      

Landon’s Favorite Spot

We all have our favorite spot to be in the house, for some of us it might be on the comfy carpet in the basement, or on the couch, or your favorite chair.  But none of those for Landon he prefers a scary position in the garage.                                                     If you can see the red cored it is up there hooked to his clock and he also has his iPod touch up there.  Dad just put more storage boxes up there, so Landon can’t be up on the shelf any more.   Landon keeps daring me to go up there.  I told him no.

 

 

 

 

I’m Done

I finally lost my LAST BABY TOOTH.   Well I didn’t loose it exactly, I went to the dentist for a check up and my dentist said that she would take it out it was so wiggly.  I could have taken it out myself  but it was in a funny spot and the adult tooth was coming out on top of it, and would eventually be over the baby tooth.   It really hurt when they took my tooth our they some numbing spray on it, but I do not think the spray helped.   Landon and I both did not have any cavities.   Hip Hip Hooray.

Pretzels

I made Pretzels for the first time last Saturday and they turned out ok.  I had to throw out the first batch because I added the butter in late and thought that 16 oz was a lb.  So I had way too much flour.   The second batch was good but I still had too much flour.  And, I don’t think I will be making them again unless I really know what I am doing.  Landon helped me shape them.  Even the messed up batch tasted like a pretzel.       

                                                                                         

My Flowers

These are my flowers that I planted last fall.

 

  I have 12 out of 14 that bloomed, and next year I might have 24 tulips.  Two buds you cannot see.  One is behind the red tulip on the far left this one will be purple.  The other is to the side of the pinkish white one, this one will also be purple, next to the red one I just tolled you about.  It is really short.

So I will have five purple ones, three pinkish white ones, and four red ones.

 

  I am adding this on about five day later the white and yellow daffodil is still picture perfect.

 The daffodils lasted a week longer then I thought they would.                                                                                          

  Sarah even made me dig my own hole.   It was quite difficult because I was  gigging about 2 inches from her flowers.  And the entire time Sarah stood over me.  But, every time I thought that the hole was deep enough    

 

Which one is your favorite?
