I'm So Glad When...

Daddy STAYS home! That's right "STAYS." Our Daddy likes to work 14 hour days and "comes" home just as we are going to bed, but when he stays home we have a blast! Our girls have wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese in Layton ever since it was built. So Saturday we decided it was time to see what all the excitement was about!

They loved playing the games and getting tickets!

Dad even "whacked" a mole or two!

The horse ride was one of their favorites...the horse increases speed when you kick it and you can use the reigns to steer!


The roller coaster ride felt like a "real" roller coaster!We loved the little booth that took their picture and then made us a sketch to keep!
One of our favorite days with Dad!

Fool Me Once...

April Fool:
n. me for thinking that April means spring is on the way!

For Preschool we had a "Fool's Day." The kids got to dress up in "foolish" clothes and do their hair "crazy!" Tessa loved it. She looked quite the "fool" decked out in slippers, striped tights, her favorite cheetah skirt, red sparkly shirt, a Halloween necklace and silly glasses! And check out that hair!
I also got decked out, but those pictures are under wraps so I don't see them on facebook! Kylie even did my hair with lots of flowers and clips.
I saw some cute ideas on the internet for breakfast but with the preschool party I went lazy and just dyed the girls' milk purple.
I got more "foolish" with lunch and made the girls eat DIRT with WORMS!?!?!
All in all a pretty good start to April!
(oh and don't tell our dad about the spider in his bed!)

9 Months Old




I can't believe our Mallory Jane is 9 months old...because she looks more like a 6 month old. She is 27 1/2 " long (50%) and 15 lb 9 oz (10%).
She is just a little thing content to do things at her own pace. No teeth and no crawling, but she is sitting up, babbling, and wiggling all over the place. She loves her baby food and "treats." We love this sweet little thing with the happy smile!

Rinse, Spit, Repeat!

This month Kylie went to the dentist for the first time. We go to this great dentist whose space looks like a little cottage. Kylie was so excited (and a little nervous).

She did a great job with her cleaning. In fact she kept her mouth opened the "whole time" and only nodded to answer questions (guess mom should have told her she could close her mouth). She was very focused and it paid off...No Cavities!

She loves her new pink toothbrush with tongue scraper and it really intent on brushing her teeth 'til they "sparkle" each night!

Momma's Takin' Us...

To the Zoo Tomorro!
There was NO SCHOOL on Monday. With temperatures in the high 50's we decided it would be the prefect day to visit the zoo.


First we saw the elephants.

The big fake one and the "real" ones. Recently one of the Mommy Elephants had a baby girl elephant named Zuki. We watched her feed and then sleep...just like our baby! Zuki weighed 251 lbs at birth. So glad I didn't carry THAT baby!Next were the giraffes...yet another baby! Do all babies in human and animal form look adorable?
YES! Just take a look at my little monkey!

The day was perfect. Most of the animals were out and active and with few visitors we were able to get pictures taken at some of our favorite spots!

My girls are really growing up...roughly the size of juvenile chimps!
We loved the carousel and the train!

And we could hardly tear ourselves away from the play land!




It was a GREAT Day!
