Blogging

I have spent the last few hours reading a blog of someone I don't know. This person has written everything they think and feel...and it's exactly the same as what I think and feel. I would like to write that but I feel as if I have to screen everything to not offend the "sensitive" people who know me, find my blog and get all upset about it. I think I want to start a blog with a fake name and find some fake friends who can get to know the real me...that's just sounds really wierd (it's also probably how people get crazy addicted to their "fake" internet lives).

I want to get more into blogging but I usually just end up posting pictures and cheery things to make everyone so happy.  I've been debating if I should "lock" down my blog so only who I want can read it, to help me be able to be more open with the ones I want to be, on the flip side when you ask to join and don't get accecpted I'll have to deal with you then.

As I'm typing this all I can think about is what everyone is going to think and say about it.  Who is going to think I'm talking about them and how my life dosen't live up to their standards...is it really their standards or is it what I think they expect of me??  I just want to be more honest but for some reason I feel like I can't.  I can't tell people how great things are, because things might not be so great for them.  I can't tell people how bad things are because then I'm just complaining.

So when you get invited to a strange blog....it's really me and you are my new fake friend.  When you don't get invited it wasn't you...I probably never got around to making it anyways.  Oh and BTW my husband has a fake FaceBook with a fake name...so I can have a fake blog!

Fun at the Park

Susan and her kids have been in town this week so we took the kids on a few playdates.   We spent a day at Jump Man Jump but my camera batteries died.  We also spent a day at the park.  Here are a few park pictures.

Ashland Part 2

While in Ashland we also visited Lithia park to give the kids some time to run around. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the park and Grandpa's house.

Science Works in Ashland

We visisted Ashland Oregon recently and spent a day at the Science Works museum.  The kids had a blast! Our favorite room was the bubble room where they got to make a mess.  Dominik asks almost everyday if we can go back to the "bubble house."  I hope you enjoy our favorite pictures.

Burney Falls

Our family stopped for lunch at Burney Falls on Thursday and took a short hike. The kids needed to get out of the car and stretch their legs. It's the first time I remember going there and being the only ones around. It was a little chilly but we had a blast. Enjoy the pictures.

Snow!

We recently had some snow in town and the boys had a blast plowing the driveway.  Elijah refused to wear his gloves so after 30+ minutes James brought him inside.  He spent the next few hours laying on the ground by the door crying to go back outside. 

Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland a few weeks ago and had a blast.  We met up with a family we know from church who also have 3 kids ages 3 and under.  We were lucky enough to also have grandma Kathy join us to stay at the room with the kiddo's during nap.  It rained most of our trip so we are limited on the pictures. Hope you enjoy!
