Sea World

Sea World was really neat. We wish that we would have chosen a different behind the scenes tour. The shows were really neat and the girls liked touching all of the animals. After Disneyland and Sea World I think everyone's feet were really tired!!

San Diego

San Diego was awesome! We had a really great time visiting with all of Matt's family. We stopped by and visited his grandparents. They are truly amazing! They are 94 and 96 y.o. His grandpa even bought paint and painted their fence in the back at 96. Wow! His grandma pulled out all of the scrapbooks and put sticky tabs on all of the pages of Matt. I think what is so amazing is how busy and self-reliant they still are. I was pondering what the secret to a long life really is. Especially after all the articles there are right now about Pres. Hinckley (another truly remarkable person.) I was comparing their similarities. For instance all of them have a purpose. I think that they wake up with a purpose in mind and spend the day being productive. Or is it Love? I love the way I felt walking into his grandparents house you can feel the love they have for each other, for everyone around them. Pres. Hinckley exuberates the love that he has for the gospel and all it's members. We were looking at pictures of him and his wife online and Mikelle said,"Wow, she has such a beautiful face." So, I guess that you can argue that some people's main goal in life is to make everyone just as miserable as them. So, what is the secret to a long life? Good Genes. What's the secret to a long happy life? Choosing to be happy, waking up with a purpose, and sharing your love with everyone.
After we met his grandparents we spent some time at Matt's Uncle Dan's house. The girls finally got to go swimming. Yea! Kass had been begging to go everyday even while we were at Disneyland. It was nice to get to visit with them then since they weren't able to come over later. The girls and Matt dared each other to get into the pool. It was steaming hot 57 degrees. Okay so it was so cold that Maggie didn't even want to get in. After that we went back to his grandparent's house and everyone else came over.
The girl's took my camera and had some fun taking pictures. There were a lot of interesting pictures.

Disneyland

We had a lot of fun at Disneyland. We went at a great time. The weather was wonderful!!!! (We're getting really tired of snow!) The first day that we went we mostly went on the rides at California Adventure. There literally was no wait to get on the rides. The next day we spent on the Disneyland side. It was busier that day (well, it was Friday what do you expect?) but there still wasn't a very long wait to get on rides. Only the very popular or newest attractions had a very long wait. Neither one of the girls were that into the characters. Kassidee noticed that Mickey Mouse never blinks and then she asked if Pluto was a costume. They loved going on all of the fast rides. Space Mountain, the Matterhorn, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (the train with the dinosaur bones as Kass calls it) were some of their favorites rides. Mia was such a good baby. She even went on some of the "baby" rides with us.

Different kinds of HOT

Matt was talking to the girls about different kinds of hot foods. There are different kinds of hot like mild, medium, hot. Mikelle said,"Yeah, and boys are a different kind of hot!" Kass said, "Yeah, boys do get hot sometimes, and sweating is a different kind of hot. Girls are another kind of hot." I don't think that she really got it.

First pictures

We finally put our ultrasound pictures up. These are the first pictures of Logan Matthew (that's what we're thinking of calling him).



They have a cool new technology called 4D imaging which gave us the neat 3D images in the pictures.
Mikelle was kind of scared of the pictures because she thinks he looks like an alien.
