Buzzzz

Today we went to the Randall Museum here in San Francisco. They have animals that can't survive in the wild because of injury or other reasons. Merik loves the snakes!

Right now there is also an exhibt about bees. At first Merik was terrified of the fake bees but by the end we couldn't get him out the door!

At one station you step on a lever and this huge stuffed bee jumps out at you. It was hilarious to watch the kids reactions!

Jaden enjoyed tagging along!

Hair Cuts and other adventures

Micah was playing with his iPod and Jaden crawled up on his lap and put the ear bud right up to his ear...he learns quick...then he grabbed the iPod and held it up to his other ear.

Pretty cute!

On to the hair cutting event...

Micah used the clippers and cut Jaden and Merik's hair while they kicked and screamed. We proceeded to bathe them and put pjs on. The phone rang and I'm chatting when I turn around and there is Jaden sitting perfectly still and quite while Merik snips huge clumps of hair off the top of his head!!!!! Merik ran and hid under the kitchen table when I caught him and he realized it wasn't okay. He was pretty embarrassed and I don't think he'll do that again. So Micah tried to even it out and let's say his hair is a little shorter than planned but he's still adorable.

Here's the after shot of my three handsome men!

Muir Woods

Micah had MLK Day off so we ventured out to Muir Woods about 12 miles north of San Francisco. We walked along a one mile paved trail that followed a stream and was lined with Redwoods. Merik was in heaven even though it was freezing cold!

New Car Seats

The Porter Zoo

We visited our old neighbor Anna and as usual she loaded Merik up with toys from Goodwill. She gave us three bags full of giant plastic animals. The boys were taking inventory of them out on the front porch. This picture just captures their little personalities perfectly!

Happy Birthday to Jaden

My baby is 1! Since he's not a fan of cake... and I'm not a baker...he got chocolate chip cookies and loved them.

For gifts from us Jaden got new pacifiers and Merik wrapped up one of his trains to give to his brother. Thanks to grandparents for much more exciting presents!
