Fun at the Aquarium

Last Wednesday, Lily, Micah, and I had a fun day with our good friends Tiarra and her son Amari. First we went to lunch at Applebees, and then we headed off to the aquarium. We had never been, so this was a pretty exciting outing. The Living Planet Aquarium is the tiniest aquarium I have ever seen. When we were done, I was like..."Really? That's all?" Oh well. I shouldn't have expected more. We do live in Utah.

Here is Micah sitting on a giant frog


and Micah trying to touch a sting ray...

She never did touch one, just put her hands in the water.

Those fish were seriously huge! Freaked me out a little.

Caught Ya!

So we were just sitting watching lost and decided Lily needed some tummy time. I really didn't think she would roll over, but got my camera anyways. Whata-ya-know she rolled over!

Long Time, No See

I have thought about and tried at least twice to put up a new blog post, but it just seems to never happen. I am in a creative/crafting slump. I have all these "projects" I want to do, but when I do get the time (at the end of the day when all the kiddies go to bed) I am completely exhausted.
There have been a couple of big milestones for us. Alyssa lost her 2 front teeth,

and Lily rolled over from her stomach to her back for the first time Saturday! Lily has also started to eat her first food, rice cereal. She only has rolled the one time, but I'm sure she'll do it again soon, and this time I will be prepared with the camera.
Along with all that I turned 25! I had a great birthday aside from working that day, but that was my choice. When I got home from work, the kids (with my mom and Britni's help) made me a cake.

Obviously realized I should take a picture of the beautifully spriklefied cake after taking a huge chunk out.
We tried to go to Tucanos, but silly me didn't make reservations and I didn't want to wait an hour and a half to be seated. Who knew you needed to make reservations for lunch. Oh well, we went to the Sushi House instead and I completely stuffed myself.
