sea world

We can go to Sea World once a year for free because of Matt being active duty military.  It's not a bad deal.  Once or twice a year is plenty of Sea World time.  The boys love it, though, and had a great time.

happy valentines day

So the only pictures I took of Valentine's day was at breakfast.  Happy Valentines breakfast, I guess.

vacation in vegas

Matt had a week off at the beginning of February.  It was warmly welcomed.  We all needed some time off, probably Matt more than the rest of us, but we were glad to have him home from work for a week.  We wanted to go somewhere, but we weren't able to get one of our family's time shares in southern California like we originally wanted.  A really nice time share opened up in Las Vegas, so we took it.  We're not really the Veags-type, but it was still fun to get away.  I didn't take a whole lot of pictures, which is kind of sad, but I didn't really want a bunch of pictures of dirty old Vegas.  We figure we won't take the kids back there to Vacation like ever.  We also go to meet up with Matt's parents who came down for a few days.  It was fun to see them and to have a few vacation days with them as well.

warm play days and cold beach days

The longer we live here in San Diego, the more we love it.  We loved Arizona, but now we see why people flock to San Diego.  It's fabulous.  The weather is nearly always beautiful, and there are so many things to do.  We happen to live in an exceptionally wonderful area, as we are able to walk to nearly everything.  Oftentimes we walk to Ralphs, Trader Joes, the library, and it's wonderful.  It's a shame the Navy is making us live here.  Such a burden.  : )  Sometimes the boys get books from the library and they can't wait to get home to read them.  This particular day, they found a Lightening McQueen book, which was a hit.
