anyhoo, we are doing great! i am getting some complaints that there are not enough pics of the kids, so this will be a kid heavy post! ;)~
First, on a whim last saturday we decided to pack up the kids and make the 6 hour haul to Madrid!!! yes, crazy. i know. but the boys did remarlably well until....we got into the city. Jonah got car sick and threw up all over the back seat and himself. yuck! but we survived and made it to the hotel! The next day we wanted to see the Prado Museum, the boys lasted about an hour...we played i -spy. 
that helped, but they got board pretty quick, so we took the boys to the Madrid Zoo/Aquarium! it was worth the pain of the museum and of the night before in the hotel. (they did'nt sleep very well, niether did Jason). The zoo was no San Diego Zoo, but it did have it's highlights! First, there are not real baracades between you and the animals. I mean if a brown bear got mad enough, i'm sure he could jump over the tiny {maybe a foot high} log enclosure and EAT YOU!!!! seriously! people were FEEDING the animals!!! tossing bread at the BIG BROWN BEARS!!! and the BIG GORILLAS!!! they we CrAzY!!! Jason and i just looked at eachother in amazment! Here are a few shots of the zoo.

James made a special bond with the Baboon...
i took this as James was walking away...here is the bear encloseure...i did'nt use the zoom AT ALL. Someone just threw a hunk of bread at it! WOW~!
Colby and James got called up onstage at the bird show!!! its not the greatest pic, but the bird is eating out of Colbys hand! he was thrilled!
always meeting new friends
so much for a language barrier...all over Madrid there were these cool bulls. it was the parade of cows {they look like bulls to me} 
and here Jo decided to milk one! how he knew that, is beyond me! After the Zoo, we went to an old friends house in the suburbs of Madrid! Margerita! we knew eachother back in San Diego from a mommy group called Baby Bootcamp! it was great to see her. Her babies are adorable! And Colby and David, have known eachother since they were 5 months old! they were like long lost buds! it was great! It had snowed there a week earlier and the boys were sooooo excited about the snow! they have been asking to go see snow for weeks!!! it was nice! they built a snow man! and they had a snowball fight! such fun!
Jonah did not like to get bundeled....
