WOW! Who would of thought that the
AZ Cardinals would be in the Super Bowl?!
I bet there will be so many Super Bowl parties going on there!
We will have one here.
Too bad they missed hosting their own Super Bowl by 1 year.
Last week the kids got out of school early, so Wed we went to Universal Studios.
We had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. The kids meal included seeds for planting a Quaking Aspen tree. Caleb planted them all by himself. He dug the hole, dropped the seeds in, covered it up, then watered it.
Thursday we took the kids to all the stores they had gift cards for.

Here is one thing they bought. They love to color these, and it takes them a long while. I woke up Saturday morning surprised that it was 9am. I never sleep that late. I came out into the family room to this scene.
They had been coloring QUIETLY all morning!
Zachary's Boy Scouts are having a PineWood Derby on Feb 7, so Mike and Zachary went to work on their car. After Mike gets all the special effects done on it, I will paint it. Zachary (MIKEY!) wants it to be painted like a NASCAR. And Bobby's new number. 96.
Zachary helped drill holes in it, and helped some with the dremel. But mostly he just supervised.
It took the better part of the day to get it done exactly the way they wanted it.
Its getting there...
Check out what Mikey built for me to paint the car. How Genius!
Zachary got his report card.

We went to KSC. They have a ride there called the Shuttle Launch Experience. The boys were too little (48+in) to ride, so Mike and I took turns. It was pretty cool. The boys got to watch in the observing room.

Caleb really enjoys preschool. I bought him a kindergarten letter book on Saturday, and he completed it last night. He loves to write. I am so surprised because when I was trying to teach him, he had no. interest. at. all. But since he has been in school he has really taken to writing, reading, and math. Its so cute, he will ask Zachary..."Whats 2+2?" And Zachary will hold up 2 fingers on each hand, put them together and count them out loud so Caleb will learn. Zachary loves math, and loves doing it in his head so he will have Caleb give him hard ones.
He gives Caleb an answer, almost always correct, and Caleb will say, "yes that is right!"
Today is Martin Luther King day.
Tomorrow is the inauguration of our nations First Black President, Obama.
We have come a long way as a nation.
I look forward to the first Black Lesbian President.
I may not of voted for Obama, but I am looking forward to watching him run our country and make the CHANGES he so promised us.
Since there is no school today or tomorrow, Mikey, the boys and I are going to Boynton Beach to our favorite hotel. (its on the inner coastal way, heated pool, and putt putt.)
Christina and Katelyn want to stay home.
Go Cardinals!
Go Obama!
