First post of 2011 (1 of 52)

The holidays have come and gone. It was nice to have some of my family here for the holidays. The tree and decorations are put away and we are getting back to our every day lives.

2011 is here! Lauren will be turning 11 next month and the boys will be turning 3 in June....and I'm feeling old.

Before Mike went back to work we took the kids to the Heard Museum. It has several hiking trails that you can use and a small trail to see dinosaurs as well as a small inside area to view bugs, rats, snakes...all those cute little buggers.













































































The kids really enjoyed the time at the museum, although the T-Rex scared Ian just a bit and he had to be carried away.

Not a bad group picture!
















As a side note, I'm going to try to post at least once a week for the entire year.
