Isaac & I flew to Utah to visit my family.  Long Beach airport is very small and quaint.  Isaac thought it was really cool that there was no jet bridge, and we got to walk outside and up the stairs to get onto our airplane.

Isaac is going to miss his class Valentine party while we are in Utah, so we put these together tonight for him to hand out at school tomorrow.  Each child gets a Cars Valentine card, a little bag of M&M's and a tiny colored slinky.  His teachers get cards and Reese's hearts.

Charlie has some unexpected time off of work, so he's going to be painting the hall bathroom.  We decided on "Summer Wish" (the one in the middle).

Charlie has been wanting an iPad for awhile so today he finally bought one.  It's a big hit!  I've only used it for a couple of minutes but Charlie & Isaac both love it.  Here they are playing a Toy Story game where you move a parachuting army man around by tilting the screen.  Isaac could not stop laughing - especially when he crashed.

23 weeks pregnant.  Don't you love the awkward stomach grab?  And can I just say how much I hate maternity clothes?  I pulled out the bag of stuff from my last pregnancy and was pretty much horrified by most of what I wore.  I've bought a few new things (including this dress), but honestly the selection in stores is not much better than what's in my bag!

This morning we went to the Balboa Peninsula.  Charlie ran while Isaac & I went for a walk.  We always park at 15th Street, right near the playground, and let Isaac play for awhile after our workout.  He likes to be pushed really high in the swings, and he thought it was hilarious when Charlie jumped out of his swing mid-air.

Tonight we went to the Irvine Spectrum to have dinner and walk around a bit.  Isaac could see the ferris wheel from the freeway and was so excited to go on it.  Here we are up near the top of the wheel - "as high as the moon" according to Isaac.

I've had an iphone for nearly three years, and somehow I went all this time without playing Angry Birds.  I'm not typically much of a "gamer" but this one has got me completely hooked!  You use a slingshot to aim various birds at different structures made of glass, wood, and stone in an attempt to kill all of the green pigs.  Sounds a little nerdy, but it is totally addictive.  This is a screenshot from my iphone... that counts as a photo, right?

For our YW activity tonight we made Valentine's.  We used the candy conversation hearts and glued them onto cards to write funny/cheesy notes using the phrases on the hearts (like a candy gram).  I did this a couple of times with roommates at BYU and it is always fun to see what everyone comes up with. I also brought a bowl of fresh fruit with a yummy fruit dip to eat for our snack.

Poor Isaac was sick today.  He woke up a few times in the early morning saying that his belly hurt, and then around 5:00 am started throwing up.  I always feel so bad for him when he is sick and just wish I could do something to make him feel better.  He kept crying and saying "I don't like it, I don't like it!"  So sad!  He threw up a few more times, but by 10:00 or so he was feeling better and wanted to eat breakfast.  He was fine the rest of the day, but I put a sheet over the couch just in case.  And he enjoyed wearing his "cuddly" pants and relaxing in front of the TV all day.
