For Valentines Day Alex got us tickets to see, "Singing in the Rain." My husband is the best! Tonight was the night! It was so good. Most of you probably know how obsessed I am with the movie. It was fun to see it on stage though. They even made it rain. (SO cool!) Anyway, I thought I'd share the love a bit. Here, a little bit of awesome for you.

So, I know I talk about how much Matthew laughs and smiles. So here's some footage.
One of my friends got married in Vegas a on the 12th, so we went up for the weekend. I wish I could tell you I got awesome pictures, but I left my camera battery at the hotel. So I will tell you what we did and show you a picture someone else took of one of the most fun things we did. We started at the MGM Grand and saw the lions. The kids loved the cubs. Then we went to M&M world and saw a 3D movie, which Matthew slept through.
The most fun thing we did was the Coke Store. It's right next to M&M World. They have this awesome thing called, "Taste of the World." You get two trays of 8 sodas (16 total) from all around the world. My parents ordered one of those and a tray of floats made with all different sodas. We then got to try them all. Some were awesome, some were so gross. It mostly made me realize why Italians add ice cream and flavored syrup to their soda. The one from Italy was called Beverly and it tasted like death. My dad is a real man though, after we all tasted it, he chugged the rest of it down. Then he died.
Matthew's favorite part was the fountains at the Bellagio. He clapped his hands, danced, and shouted in excitement the whole time. I think I enjoyed watching him, more than I enjoyed the fountains. We also went at saw the light show at Freemont Street, I would NOT recommend it. Freemont Street is trashier than the strip and the light show is like an acid trip. Or at least what I imagine an acid trip is like.
We also walk around the Venetian. I am in love. I love architecture and the Venetian is breath taking. I want to go to Europe SO bad!
My friends wedding was at a gorgeous venue. She looked so happy and her husband seems like an awesome guy. I'm really happy for her.
We also had a leprechaun visiting us all month. He would leave treats and do mischievous things. On Saint Patrick's Day he left us a yarn maze all through the house, with rainbow yarn leading to some goodies. Needless to say, Hailey loves him. So was quite sad to find the note he left us saying he's returned to Ireland (or as she calls it, "island,") until next year.
My kids are awesome. We've been having lots of fun and they are growing leaps and bounds, but I'll save that for another post.
The rainbow cake we made to try and catch the leprechaun. This is before baking. I forgot to take an after shot.
As soon as I can figure out what to bribe Hailey with, I'll get some 3 year old pictures up. For now enjoy our cutie one year old.
Also, it's hard to get a non blurry picture of a one year old who thinks he should be running.
AKA More pictures than you've ever wanted to see of the kids.
My kids birthdays are 4 days apart. So for now combined parties are their lot in life. That may change someday, but for now (while they still won't complain) it's what they get. This year Grandma Y, Grandpa Y, and Alex's brother's family all came down to celebrate with us. They arrived on Wednesday, we went to Disneyland on Thursday, the LA zoo on Friday, had the kids party on Saturday, and then died from exhaustion on Sunday. ;)
So without out further ado, here are some pictures of our adventures.
Hailey LOVES carousels!
