New Year - New Fun

This year I made a resolution, and it's........ To have more fun with the kids!!  I don't want to admit it, but I'm kind of a home body, and a little (okay a lot shut up!) lazy!  But, I don't want the kids to be like that.  So, we're having adventures during the day.  Also for those who read - I need ideas for when it's butt cold outside, so please bring them forth!

Anyway here are some of our adventures so far - there will be more because the kids are having a blast.  I also noticed that Gage is taking a longer naps (hooray!) in the afternoons, and Lyla is starting to slim down a little.

Stout Park

Now I have a small complaint - the parks in Hurricane SUCK, especially in comparison to St George parks.  So, when the weather warms up, believe me I will justify the gas to go to better parks, and of course the water park.  This park was okay, and we went and played at the community center one - overall I'm just not impressed.

Adventure Walk

We have right by our house a mountain, why have we never explored this?  We also have a large field with weeds, dirt, and sticks - why have we never explored this?  Well I took the kids for an adventure walk one morning and that's what we did.

My cuties!

Cuties!

I thought this cool - someone had fun!

So, when it has been too cold to go outside we play on the WII.  This really was the best thing to get for the family.  I am loving dancing with the two games I have (Just Dance 3 and The Black Eyed Peas Experience).  Lyla will dance with me, and I'm enjoying us playing together.  She however believes that my score is her score since it's a little bit better then hers.  Gage in the beginning of dancing would just cry at my feet for some reason, but now he grabs a remote and pretends to dance with us.  In fact if there is music playing he will grab a WII remote and just start dancing.  Lyla will also do her WII Fit game for a least an hour a day.  I love it, she is running and jumping like a champ. I will have to get some video for sure.
