San Diego Day 2

We decided to head to the San Diego Wild Animal Park. It is owned by the San Diego Zoo and since we got lucky with free tickets we thought we would give it a try. Let's just say it was quite an experience. We walked and walked and for the first 40 minutes didn't see any four legged animals. We finally made it to the Safari tour which was educational but wasn't a ton of fun. At lunch Austin flipped backwards out of his chair and hit is head on the ground and then I guess the honey bees are really bad here because while I was trying to console him we were attached by the bees. They were loving our Sprite, raisins and something in Vivian's backpack. No one was stung but we were annoyed enough to leave our lunch and run away. We definitely enjoyed our time together as a family. If you come to San Diego I would definitely bypass this park and just head to the zoo!

I failed to mentioned that Nick's mom is on this trip with us. She has been so much help traveling with two kiddos and they love their nana.

Nick's aunt and uncle live close by so they met us at our resort and joined us at the park.



Me and Vivi...and two big gorillas behind us.

This is my favorite new picture of my boys. They look so happy!

Not quite as big as a gorilla

San Diego Day 1

So we were up early to head on our first family vacation...okay maybe 2nd but this was our first time to fly as a family. Our day started at 4am and we pretty much had a low key day once we arrived. Overall the flight went really well. Vivian got a little restless towards the end but thankfully we had a really nice grandma (some stranger that sat by us) that she cuddled up to and rested. She will just go to anyone who is over 60 that looks like a loving grandma I guess. It was kinda weird at first but really helped us out. We had lots of snacks...dum dums, gum, candy, pretty much lots of junk, crafts, movies, games, anything to keep them busy. We prayed as we took off and are thankful that God watched over our family and made our travels easy...now I'm hoping our week goes smoothly.

Heading out

Hello all! I thought I would take a break from packing up my entire house and blog. Literally, I feel like I am packing up the entire house for our trip to CA. I admit I am pretty anxious about flying with two kiddos. Nick will feel like he has three kids because I get sick every time I fly. Please pray for safe travel and no getting sick (on and off the plane).

I hope this kids look this happy on vacation.....

Human Trafficking

We attended the church in OKC today where we grew up. During worship they shared with us about a couple who plans on moving to Africa to be missionaries to stop human trafficking. The man, Ken, actually decided to walk all the way from OKC to Houston to help the awareness of human trafficking. I thought what this couple has committed to is amazing. Not only giving up their luxury life here in Oklahoma to move to Africa but to put all their trust in God to get him to Houston safe and sound. This must be physically draining and I can't imagine being the wife at home waiting to hear from her husband to see how is he holding up. I was dying to check out their blog when we got home today. It looks like there are plenty of angels watching over Ken. If you want to read about this journey you can check out Ken and Kathy's story here. Please keep this couple in your prayers.

First day of Pre-K and Mother's Day Out :)

The kids started pre-school this week! Austin is attending Pre-K at the pre-school he attended last year 3 days a week. We enrolled Vivian in Mother's Day out one day a week at the same school. Monday was bitter sweet because I was pretty nervous about sending Vivian but excited about getting 4 1/2 hours to myself. Its amazing how much you can get done in a short amount of time without the kiddos. I ran all kinds of errands, got a pedicure and even had time to be at the house alone for about 1 hour. Vivian cried for all about 2 seconds! All in all the first week of school went pretty good. Austin got to be the flag holder and came home every day and said he learned nothing. lol We are working on learning his phone number...it continues to be a work in progress, he will usually say 911!!!




Of course she was stylin with her Thirty-One fashionable and functional bags.

Children's Museum

I am back! Our computer crashed and put everything in the Price Household into chaos. I was lost for awhile! We were able to restore all of our files but I lost my e-mail contacts. So all in all things are back to normal. Now I have to play catch up!

We had our last play date of the summer a few weeks ago. We went to Kalidescope, a local children's museum here. The kids seemed to have such a good time. Normally when we go for play dates Austin just comes home and doesn't talk about it. He was telling Nick about it at dinner and kept saying he wanted to go back with Gabe and Gavin. He could have played there all day if I let him. They had a pretend grocery store, post office, hair salon, CSI lab, jail, dress up area, play house, black light room, and a big play area for them to play in. For $6 it was definitely worth it and that included lunch! We will be going back. My only reservation is I always wonder how well they clean the toys at the end of the day!!!

$4.00 well spent

I went to An Affair of the Heart (craft show) and I always feel like I need to come back with something for both Vivian and Austin. If you have ever been to An Affair of the Heart, they have nothing for little boys. I found this Grow Your Own Lizard for 4 bucks!! They also had snakes, frogs, etc. It was quite the entertainment for 10days. You put the lizard in your bath tub and it grows and grows. The kids went in every night to pet him. He was pretty slimy and felt real. Anyways, if you ever see one of these they are definitely worth the $4!


Taken the first day in the tub and then taken on the last day.
