Slides and friends...

Slides seem to be all the rave right now.... Mattie and Aaron attempted to slide together at the Gordy's on Friday night....

Mattie and Alyssa shared some slide moments on Friday as well....

And Mattie and Tatum went down the slide together on Thursday and on Saturday.... wow, what fun!

Return to the LB Aquarium!

We haven't been to the aquarium since December, Oh my gosh! Nadine and Mattie discuss the long hiatus and how they are so happy we returned to see the ocean animals! They also discussed how we miss the cold weather from two days ago and we are not happy about wearing short sleeves already again!

In the last section (tropical regions) it is nearing nap time... Sylvie decided to go night-night on the floor, while Mattie kicked back on the big fish tank. It almost looks like she is sitting on the big sea turtle :)

Bowers Kids Museum

Mattie and I checked out Bowers Kids Museum in Santa Ana on Tuesday b/c we were able to get in for free (one of the few perks of living in Santa Ana). Mattie loved all the instruments that she was allowed to touch! She even used instruments to play other instruments!

Happy Valentines Day!

Time to remove the crib bumper!

Gettin' ready to go to great grandpa's 80th B-day party on Valentines day!

Great Grandparents are so fun!

Mattie was thrilled to spend some time with her great grandparents on Wednesday. It has been a whole year since their last visit from Colorado, so she didn't remember them at first, but she quickly warmed up and had a blast playing with them!

San Diego fun in the rain!

We headed down to SD on Sat. morning to hit up the zoo with Mattie's BFF, Tatum. Mattie actually preferred Joy this time around (rather than Tatum), and insisted that she hold her often.

The ladies, and look, no umbrellas! The rain behaved itself most of the time we were there!

The little cuties sitting on a polar bear statue...

Sunday morning, Mattie and Tatum decided they were both the big winners during some cartoon viewing...

We ended our time in SD at Logan's 3rd Birthday party. Aaron, Mattie, and Tatum enjoyed playing with Logan's stuff while he opened gifts!

Random pics from last week...

Mattie got to ride the "giant wheel" at Spectrum last weekend for the first time. She is definitely not afraid of heights....

Super Bowl play date with the Gordys... the kids couldn't get enough of the slide!

Mattie insisted that Emma the cat wear her headband. She followed her around the house for 20 minutes trying to get it to stay on her head!

And Mattie decided that her child fork was not big enough, she wanted to use the serving spoon instead, so we let her!
