oops...I made a mistake if you saw this already I goofed the real answers are: A. Natali B. Sophia C. Noah D. Kate Congratulations Aunt Noraleen you got them correct first...not that I had a prize planned or anything. I don't but needless to say you can feel proud that you know your nieces and nephew very well...

So....can you tell them apart? So we have our screen saver as flashing through all our picture folders and sometimes I will just get carried away in looking at the pictures and a few of them I have wondered...which child is that? Only when they were babies however, Noah is generally easy to pick out because of clothing but nonetheless they all look so much a like around 4-6 months. All of these pictures each of them are between 4 and 6 months old. Can you guess who is who? A. B. C. D. I'll post the answers in a few days...

So Nathan and I celebrated our Anniversary in June. He took me to Wolfgang Puck's restuarant at the Venetian hotel followed by taking me to The Phantom of the Opera! IT was AMAZING! We then went to Gameworks that night and played and played and played before I said, I just can't "play" anymore...LOL! For our Anniversary for two years now I have wanted to make Nathan an awesome dinner. It is always shattered because I get sick or the kids get sick.

We stayed in Oceanside which is another area of their mission. But needless to say we had a great time. This is one vacation that I felt we were not constantly fighting with the kids about everything and rarely lost our patience with them. Kate was an absolute doll the entire trip and never complained but she did shed a little tears when she found out she couldn't ride one of the rides. But after a small walk and finding a new ride to ride when the others came back off the one she couldn't ride she was as happy as a clam. I will say Legoland food left something to be desired but...
