Grace is Little Red Riding Hood
Day 5, At the Beach
We went to the beach Monday afternoon. The water was pretty cold and it felt colder with the wind blowing but Grace still had lots of fun running up and down the shore and playing in the water. Buck said she laughed when she got blasted with a big wave. Lucas slept through most of the experience. And no, my zipper is not down, the silly fly on those pants is messed up and doesn't stay flat. So here is our vacation in reverse order. I didn't have the energy to do it the other way around. You can start at the back and move forward.
Wicked
Saturday night Buck and I were able to go see Wicked at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood. 
We had so much fun. Thank you to our four great babysitters who made it possible for us to go!
Day 3, Part 3
It took a while for Grace to understand the concept of the bumper cars but she had so much fun once she caught on!
Day 3, Part 2...rides at the pier
Grace was so funny on this ride because Natalie said that every time the truck turned a corner, she would turn the steering wheel and then hold it still on the straight parts. After all of this was over, she left kicking and screaming. Grace is not one to leave fun things behind very well.
Lucas hanging out with Nana and Grandpa.
This ride was a submarine ride...very much like the magic carpet at Lagoon...if it's even still there.
This is a miniature Tidal Wave ride. It was a tight squeeze for us.
The ferris wheel was tricky because Grace wanted to stand up and look over the edge of the bowl. It was easier to pin her down on all the kiddie rides since she had to be strapped in to those. Different situation here. Nana and Grandpa were with us to help though.

California Trip Day 3, part 1
Lucas, all tuckered out from a long day of driving the day before.
Out and about in Santa Monica with more climbing of course.
Headed down to the pier with Uncle Scott and Aunt Natalie.
Grace really liked her new puppy dog until she realized that he was meant to keep her from wandering away!
Chasing birds on the Santa Monica pier.
California Trip Day 1 & 2
Here we go! Still happy at this point to be in the car, we were headed off toward California on Thursday to visit Uncle Scott and Aunt Natalie!
We had a scheduled stop in St. George on Thursday night to break up the trip. Lucky we did because Nana and Grandpa's car had problems and had to get a new engine! We ended up renting a van to get the rest of the way there and killed time by jumping....
and climbing.
Back on the road at 2:00 on Friday.

Cousins
"I'm just trying to get comfortable."
"Get him off of me!"
"Is Lucas wearing hims round diapers?"
Lucas spent some time with his cousins Lizzie and Ian a couple weeks ago. Where was Grace? Off running somewhere I'm sure.

I'm it.
So I was tagged by my friend Lauren to answer the following 10 questions on my blog page but seeing as she is the only other person I know with a blog, I have no one else to tag! Anyway, here are my answers:
1-What is the best thing I cooked last week?
I honestly do so little cooking that's not out of the freezer lately that I have a hard time thinking if I even cooked anything really good last week. I would say though that the best thing that I make is either fajitas or meatloaf.
2- If money, time and babysitting were no object, where would I go and with who?
I would take Buck with me of course and we have talked about going to Europe, New York City or Hawaii since he has never been to any of those places.
3- When was the last time I cried?
I can't remember exactly but I'm sure it had something to do with one of my children (probably Grace) and my feelings of inadequacy as a mother.
4- 5 things I was doing 10 years ago.
I was attending BYU-Hawaii as a freshman in college. I was putting on my "Freshman 35" rather than the usual 15. I was breaking out in cystic acne. I was thinking too much about homework when I should have been enjoying the beautful beaches in Hawaii a little more. I was hanging out with the friends I made at school of whom I have lost contact except for my roommate and friend Liz Dalley! Let me just say that the first 4 were learning experiences that I can look at in a positive light now...although tragic to me at the time.
5- 5 things on my to do list.
Call the Maytag Man to see if he can tell me why my dryer takes 2 hours to dry a normal load of laundry these days. Stop by the distribution center to get the Book of Mormon stories book and gospel art picture kit I have been thinking about for the last 6 months to make FHE a little more Grace friendly. Wrap Lizzie's birthday present for her party tomorrow. Catch up on my photo albums....I would say scrapbooks but I am to a point where I'm so far behind again that I will end up just slapping the pictures on a page and writing underneath them. Ask Lauren how she got her blog page so freakin' cute because my is totally lame in comparison.
6- 5 favorite snacks
I have cravings worse while I'm nursing than when I'm pregnant so this list extends way further than 5 but lately it's been: Granny B's sugar cookies (i've discovered you can get them at Sam's club in a 10 pack so I don't have to go to 7-11 for them), Quaker Mini Delights rice snacks (the cinnamon streusel is awesome!), the other half of whatever candy Grace wants (because a whole tootsie roll is just too big for her so I better bite it in half!), peanut butter and honey on a tortilla (warmed), and snack packs.
7- 5 bad habits
Being too lazy to make dinner so we eat out or eat something from the freezer, nagging my husband,
8- 5 favorite foods
Sonic Oreo Blast, French Fries (or any potatoes really), The Outback Special, Papa Murphy's pizza and Milk. Do you think I eat out too much?
9- 5 places I've been
In the U.S.: Utah, California (San Diego, L.A. San Francisco), Nevada (Las Vegas, Reno), Colorado, New York City, New Jersey, Washington D.C., Florida, Montana, Hawaii (Oahu & Kauai).
Outside the U.S.: Canada (British Columbia & Alberta); Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Ecuador, Barcelona, Spain; Paris, France; Belgium and England
10- 5 favorite memories
My wedding day, the day Grace was born, the day Lucas was born, good times in hair school and my first kiss from Buck.
So now some other people need to start blogs of their own so that (A) I can tag you and (B) I can see what's going on in your lives!

Brother/Sister bonding time
I came down the hall the other day to find that Grace had snuggled up to Lucas on her bed. She seemed to be explaining to him that she was in charge but he could be her no. 2 guy.
