The Farm

Friday, the kids didn't have school, so we headed up to Thanksgiving Point to play at the farm.  Rach, Ethan, Kenzie and Grandma met us up there.  We had so much fun!

 Ethan broke his leg a couple months ago, and is still getting his strength back in his leg.  The kids fought the whole time over who got to push Ethan in the wheelchair!  He was the coolest cousin that day!

 I love Jace's face in this picture.  He is looking at that stinky pig!

 We fed the goats...

We took a pony ride...

Everyone loved having their turn to talk Grandma's legs off!  

 We took a wagon ride...

Cute picture of T.

 Grandma bought everyone a little treat at the end - that's why no one is smiling.  They all have full mouths.  :)

 What a fun, crazy adventure day!  So glad to have cousins and Grandma close to play with on a no school day!  Thanks for making it a party!

Finally! Park Weather!!!!

The weather today was pretty darn good.  I'm the first to admit that this Winter has been a doozy on me.  I don't think I was this blue even after having babies!  It's been rough.  So today, when the sun was shining, we decided to make a play day out of it.  We got all the laundry folded and put away, we went to Costco and rewarded ourselves with a big ice cream treat, and then headed to the park.  I brought my camera along.  I haven't really felt like taking pictures, mostly because the weather has been crappy, cold and lame.  Oh, and so do I.  :)  We had a lovely time at the park!  Here are the pictures to prove it! 

 These two really are just the cutest friends.  

 It's crazy to see things that were impossible last year, become a simple reality this year!  They are so big now!  

 These pictures of them sliding down this "circle slide" - as they call it - are my favorites!  Such glee on their faces!

 These two are still obsessed with Tangled and Superman (from Halloween costumes).  Sophie is yelling "Tangled!" (while she is holding out her "Tangled hair"), and Jace is yelling "Superman!!!!!!"  

 Always ready with a silly face for Mom!

 We are OUT of the baby swings!!!  New thing for this year - making their Momma's heart stop by letting go of the chains!  

We spent most of the day today outside enjoying the lovely Spring weather!  Everyone went to bed exhausted, and I am sure I am not far behind them! ;)

McCall's Baptism

 We had a lovely weekend in Idaho with family to celebrate McCall's baptism.  It's always fun to be with cousins and family.  Kaley and Cally were inseparable, as usual.  :)  I really hope these two can stay best friends forever!  They are the cutest together!

 Bella's favorite is Mikesell.  These two have a special bond.  Bella was SO excited to see Mikesell the whole week before we came. 

 Jace and Thomas were in heaven with all the extra big boy cousins.  Brennen, Alex and Harrison were awesome - the best big cousins to play with!  

 Here's my Mom and her siblings: Uncle Blair, Aunt Audra, and Uncle Ben.  It's never a dull moment with my fun aunts and uncles around!  

Thanks to Papa and Grandma for letting us crash at their house!  The one thing that keeps coming to mind is a quote I read somewhere:  "Grandma's house is where cousins play and become best friends." This is so true!  I love my cousins, and I'm happy that my kids are becoming best friends with their cousins!
