Santa Barbara Zoo

So the Friday before we moved in I took the kids to the SB Zoo and some other mom's and their kids too. We did figure out that we had 4 out of the 6 nursery kids. Anyway we had a blast and so did Isaac. It is a small zoo like Honolulu Zoo has a few hills, well just one really. But it was fun, and I nice way to get my mind off the house closing late. Well I had totally forgot that we had taken some pictures there until I loaded the Easter pictures on the computer. So anyway here is our trip to the SB Zoo

"please shut the sun off"


"ROAR!"

Some of the Kids...Look for the butt if you want to find Isaac

We found this pond, and water fountain and then it seems like we didn't leave for a long time, But the kids loved it. One kid even drank the water. YUCK!!

Trusty PB and Honey

Isaac is eating a cookie not anything gross!

The other kids kept sticking their hands, and arms in the pond. Isaac's face is in disgust cause a fish swam by him.

Happy Happy Noah!

You could slide down this hill, if you did it on paper, the kids went there after the pond, and LOVED IT!!

Since the kids were loving it so much I decided to check it out. Little hot on the BUM!!

I got him MOMMY!!

You know there had to be at least one picture of a giraffe!

Sliding off a statue of a monkey entertained Isaac for a long time

Easter

I know, I know I am a little behind the time for Easter, but I wanted to post about the fun that we had. Part of the reason that I am so late in my Easter Post is because we didn't do Easter on Easter Sunday. We did it the following Saturday. Yes I said Saturday. With the move and all I completely forgot about getting stuff for dieing and baskets. But I did want to do something since the reason for the holiday is so important. So we decided since Isaac and for sure Noah had no idea when the actual holiday was celebrated by the rest of the world there was no need to rush out at 11pm on Saturday, April 11, to buy the provisions. So I went on Wednesday, and got killer deals on Easter stuff. I bought everything in both boys baskets and the baskets all for 8 BUCKS!!! YEP! 8 Smackers. Except the Hulk hands those I bought earlier when they were 50% off! Now they didn't not have the selection on things that I would have wanted, but both boys are still young and have no real clue about Easter or Easter baskets. So Saturday morning we died eggs with Isaac as Noah napped. I thought it was funny that Isaac just threw the eggs again this year, and that the only reason that the eggs are more than just red thanks to us the parents! But we had fun dieing the eggs, and then during nap the Easter Bunny came and hid the eggs, and then after nap we did baskets and eggs. Then we played what has become known as "Punch!"

Noah wanting in on the "action" or wondering why we are beating each other up?

The Hunt

The Capture

The Loot!!
As general update Noah can say "dada" which he started saying on Easter then the next weekend he started saying "mama". He is getting better at crawling he still would rather army crawl. As for the whole MRI mess, lets just label it that, well come to find out that he actually needs a neurologist appt and it at this point seems to be no ones place to put in the referral so I am currently calling and calling both offices until one of them finally decides it is their place to put the referral in. And the government wants to give everyone standardized health care, well let me tell you this is what you get, no one is responsible, and no one has anyone to answer to.

MOVIN' IN

So we got moved in on Tuesday. And let me warn the people that are still in Hawaii and may have movers moving you off the island any time soon. Watch them like hawks. We have found their trash from the moving supplies in our boxes, 2 whole rolls of packing paper, unused, wrapped, and numbered. Not to mention my wedding dress shoved at the bottom of a box with pans on it. Isaac potty chair packed with my stones, they broke our TV, my giraffe mask from AFRICA, my spice rack was thrown in on top of stuff, so it broke, along with a bunch of other stuff. I still can't find my phone and the wires to my PC. (You think the wires would be with the tower and monitor, but that would be too easy!) Then on Wednesday our fridge came, and washer/dryer and today the internet guy came. I think I am done with installations and what not. But not anywhere close to unpacked. I am working on one room at a time. Trying to get the places that people see and will stay soon, all organized. My office/exercises/guest room will be last. But the downstairs is mainly done, except painting and hanging things on the walls.

Isaac is loving having a house with toys, and all the stairs to climb. Noah is creeping away, and is loving all the toys that Isaac leaves for him to play with. We have gotten the referral for his MRI, but we are still waiting to hear when that will be. I have come to terms with it, and understand knowing more is better, but I was terrified for him those days following the mtg with the eye surgeon.

We are abosultely loving our house and all the things that we get to do cause its OURS!!! And of course all the $$ that will come with personalizing it. But that will all come with time. John and I love our master suite area. OH!! The tub is so nice and deep, I took a bath last night and actually was covered with water!! The master bedroom actually fits our bedroom set, and still has lots of room to spare. I could put a queen size matress if not bigger at the foot of out bed and still have space.

More Waiting...

So we are now waiting for the keys!! I know that means soon I will get to move IN!!! Funding happened on Friday, and recording is happening, well right now I HOPE! Well I hope that everything goes according to schedule today, cause I don't really have time for this not to all go through cause the moving in kicks off tomorrow. I have movers showing up at 9:30am, the fridge is getting deliveried in late morning. Then on Wednesday the internet guy is coming along with the washer/dryer delivery guy. Not to mention Noah's appt to get refered to the MRI peeps, and normal every day stuff.

Well remember how I told you all that Noah will probably crawl at the hotel. Well it happened. Well sorta, he took a few crawling steps, but then nothing. And it did end up happening at the hotel, since after some stuff we moved back into the hotel again. This room is alot smaller then the last one, but we only have to be here until later today. We will sleep here again tonite, since I can't get all my stuff out by noon, check out time.
