Swim time!

January 25, 2013~ Etc.

We stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Ontario and one of the reasons we were excited to stay at this hotel(besides their nice bathroom!) was that they had a heated pool and a hot tub. Or supposedly, until Ana just jumped in the pool without any fear, only to start crying and freaking out in the water because of how cold it was. So Jay jumped in to get her and I could tell just by his face that the water was COLD. Well, that was enough proof for me so I just dipped my feet in the hot tub(which was not heated bytheway, but slightly warmer than the pool-turns out their heating system was broken), while I watched them swim.

13 weeks- I’m now in my second trimster!

Adi: “daddy, on the count of 1,2,3, we jump in together, okay?”

Adi: “one, two, three! hahaha, tricked you!”

Still feels like Christmas over here

It’s been tough coming from a 90 degrees weather in California to this coldness over here. It seems as though this is the coldest Utah’s ever gotten since I can remember. Jay’s been wearing pants instead of his usual shorts he wears throughout Winter, so that’s saying something! Spring, please come sooner than later!

We are back!

January 22, 2013~ Etc.

We are back from a 7 day vacation in California! Our trip started in St. George where we stopped to visit our newly-wed friends Jesse & Becky, then to San Diego to visit another dear friend Janie and then to Legoland!

I couldn’t ride any of the rides(baby+nausea), so Jay rode all the rides with the girls.

I tried to get him to ride the pony ride, but he wouldn’t.

apple fries- a must try at Legoland!

this was my favorite part of Legoland, the Lego city! the boats moved along the water, along with the other transportation systems like the train & the buses. the girls were in love too, every other second they said, “daddy! could you build us one exactly like this in our backyard, pleeeeease?

the last picture is a ride where you race with the others to see who can ride the fire truck the fastest by pumping on the levers, then in the end you have to aim the water hose to put out the fire on a two-story building with a person inside of it. at first, Jay went with just the girls while I watched and they got last place. so my competitive side kicked in and forget about my nausea- I was determined to join them and do the race!

and guess who won the second round- the Tyau team! Go team TYAU!!! 😉 you should’ve seen this pregnant lady jumping up and down pumping that lever!

*We would recommend Legoland to families with kids 10 and younger. Maybe even 8 or younger. It’s definitely catered more to little kids, and if our kids were a lot older, I think they would’ve gotten a little bored since the rides were very little-kid friendly and not for the big kids.
