The Children's Museum

The kids had a mini spring break so we decided to go to salt lake to the museum. We had a great time exploring and creating the hundreds of things that were there to do . It is a great hands on experince for the kids.

All about our bodies. This section tought the kids about all the body parts and how we use them.

This is the only time Conner was still, it only lasted long enough to snag a picture.
Personal hygiene, you can never start to early.


What are lace up shoes?? We have an abundance of corcs, velcro , and slip ons at our house. I guess I need to get to work and teach my kids something.

Olivia's Meet the Masters

Olivia's school does a bunch of assemblies about different artist each year. They learn about their style of art and then create their own version. At the end of the year they pick one of their favorites from their portfolio and display it for the parents to come see. Olivia is such a great artist. She always has been. It is fun to see her grow and experiment with different styles. She gets that talent from her dad.

Conner Squared

Jess, this one's for you! Conner and Connor! I tried to get a little bit better picture but you know how kids are when they know you are trying to get a good shot. Anyway , they've come a long way huh?

Conner's new digs!

This is what Conner wanted to wear one day!! He brought them to me to put them on and strutted around the house until he decided he was hot or something. He LOVES!!!! shoes! It was the first word he said, then he said dad( hasen't learned how to say mom yet! his priorities are a little messed up if you ask me!), anyway, he will find a pair of shoes and put them on. If he finds another pair of shoes while he is playing he will bring them to me and want them on too. He hasn't figure out why he can't wear them all at once. I thind he would if he could.

Conner in his hat

This may only happen once so I had to document it! My kids have never been hat wearers, so when Conner decided that he wanted one on I couldn't pass up the chance to take som pictures. I think he looks pretty darn cute!!

Who needs to live in the country?....

....when you have critters like these in your back yard?
Yes,that is a toad! I got a big suprise while planting some flowers in my back yard. I kind of got creeped out because I didn't know what it was at first. It's skin just kind of slithered when I bumped it with my hand. Yuck! The kids had a great time playing with it and watching it jump in the grass. I was okay with it as long as I had my gloves on to touch it. But, boys will be boys, they had no problem at all!


Carson being gentle with the taod.

Run 4 kids

okay, here it is girls. In April we ran the 5K for Cassie's Birthday! What a gift huh? It was a goal that she had and so I needed an excuse to do another race so I tagged along. We had a great time and the girls did very well! Cassie loved it so much she is going to become the running queen. (She signed up for the marathon! oh yay, so did I, what am I thinking).
