slo children's museum

so after a long, long, loooong, wait, the slo children's museum has reopened.  now i had never been to it before they remodeled, so i have nothing to compare it to, but i thought it was boring.  not a whole lot to do there.  miles liked it and i guess that's what's important.  but here's the thing.  i walk in the front door, pay my $16 and get ready to head in. the girl behind the counter tells me that miles will really enjoy the 3rd floor.  we take off to the elevator, and she then informs me stroller parking is around the corner.  i told her, i was going to be taking the stroller because i have maisy.  she then tells me sorry we don't allow strollers in the museum, we have a baby bjourn you can borrow.  i'm like what no strollers... she explains to me there is not enough room on the floors to have strollers.  ok, last i checked it was a CHILDREN'S museum.  but oops, i guess i shouldn't have made any assumptions.  anyway, i'm sure we'll be going back again.  it is a good place to spend gloomy, cold days.

pj day

                            










i walked into miles' school before him, on the morning of halloween. all i heard was "miles is here, miles is here"... ok, he hadn't even walked in the door yet. the girls were running to the door to say hi to him... it was too cute. here is miles with the girls...  they are all in their pj's, because his preschool does a pajama party instead of wearing costumes to school. even miss sally wore her pj's. she wanted to make sure we saw that she was wearing spongebob square pants pj's...

MADONNA


oh what a night!  jody and i went to see MADONNA on thursday night in LA.  first things first, traffic SUCKED! it took us nearly 2 hours just to get into dodger stadium.  the tickets said the show was suppose to start at 7:30.  we knew that the show wouldn't start at that time, but we got into the stadium at 9:45 and the show still hadn't started.  we heard a rumor that madonna was going to cancel the show because the stadium so so empty (yeah, 'cause we were all stuck in traffic).  but only about 15 minutes later at 10, lights went down and madonna took the stage and as usual she did not disappoint.  i knew that being in LA, the show would bring in a lot of "star" guests.  i guess J-Lo, carrie underwood, heidi klum and a-rod were in the audience. of course we didn't see them, but we did run into jorja fox, from CSI.  i love CSI and was so excited to get to meet her and get my picture taken with her.  she was super laid back and cool.  the highlights of the night were when rumored performers actually showed up to perform.  my girl britney and wouldn't kick him out of my bed justin timerlake....  soooo exciting.  britney looked amazing and jt was as fine as ever.  (see video clips below, sound is bad, but you get the gist).  jody and i had the best time!  we can't wait to see the queen of pop again in the future.  for those of you who were wondering, this was my 4th madonna concert.  1st one... the virgin tour (1986), 2nd...re-invention tour, 3rd... confessions on the dance floor tour and 4th... sticky and sweet tour (2008)  22 years rockin' madonna!

sequoia





miles, david, papa jerry and uncle aaron went to sequoia last weekend.  they drove up friday afternoon and stayed at one of the lodges in the park.  they did lots of hiking and sightseeing.  miles had a great time.  david told me that miles would say " i know i've been here before, but i was little and i don't remember, so i am just going to say i haven't been here before."  we all went to sequoia right after miles turned one.  he was just learning to run around and was falling all the time... he was sooo dirty, but he had such a good time.  he also had a really had fun this time around.  i am so glad the boys got to do their "boy" trip.
