Wildlife Museum

We decided to check out the Wildlife Museum, it's been here longer than we have but have never been to it.  We weren't sure what to expect but it was pretty amazing.  They have animals from all over the world some that are extinct and they are stuffed and in there natural habitat.  Presley and Ridge both loved it.  They love going to sportsman's to see all of the animals so if you can imagine this was ten times as cool.  They give you these walkie-talkies and when you go by the different areas you punch in a number and it tells you all about the animals and there habitat. 

 The lights go on and off and it makes lightening and thunder sounds.

 He was so excited, and I was so I excited I caught his face!

Easter

We had a great Easter my parents came to spend it with us.  We colored our eggs, I love the pictures pres was jumping on the tramp with the sprinklers while the eggs cooled.  The couch is in the kitchen because we had the carpets cleaned pics to remember.  She really got into coloring them, and I am still a kid at heart when it comes to decorating Easter Eggs.  The Easter bunny found us and brought the kids some fun things and some good treats.  It was so funny when Ridge discovered there were jelly beans in some of the eggs.  He was all over that idea and didn't care about anything else.  We went to church and had a good lunch after wards with Grandma and Grandpa S. as well.  After that we went out to the back side of Sand Hollow sand dunes and rolled our Easter Eggs.  Presley wanted to keep them all, because they were so pretty, she didn't want to ruin them.  Ridge just wanted to throw at the ground and smash them.  I definitely have a girly girl and Ridge is all BOY!  Happy Easter!

Valentines Day

 Valentines Day started off with gifts from Mom and Dad, I made them cute little shirts. 

 We decorated there doors!  Presley was really excited, and Ridge didn't know quite what to think at first but then found out they were pretty fun to run through.

 This picture is priceless, I love this face he had just ran through the streamers.

 There was some drama and tears, over the fact that mom had got her Resies pieces and she doesn't like those and I was suppose to know that.  Which followed a conversation on being grateful and some kids don't get anything from their parents which added to the tears.  That's my girl!

 Dad brought both of his girls home some flowers.

 We decorated cookies, which was followed by a candle light dinner and then we ate our yummy cookies that I think were mostly sprinkles.

 They got spoiled by there grandparents as usual they have the best grandparents.  The Wilson's got them each a new pair of shoes.  The Robins sent them cards with money so they could get there own surprise.

It was a very exciting, very busy day.  As a working mom sometimes I feel like I try to over compensate on things like this so they will remember how much fun they were and not that they spent Valentines day at the baby sitters.  I love to spoil them and have fun surprises, kids make the holidays special.  Hope all my LOVES had a very Happy Valentines Day.

January 2013

      January never seems to be too exciting, we got some new winter hats and the kids wanted it to snow. It did one day and stuck for about a second and then melted. 
     Presley lost her first tooth, she can home from Jo's and said that her her gums were scratched.  So I took her in the bathroom to look and there was her new tooth coming in behind the baby one.  Within a week of Dad doing some major wiggling it was out and the tooth fairy came and left her $5 because it was her first tooth.  This tooth loosing business shouldn't be be happening for about another year.  Apparently we are going to do things early around here. 
     About the only other thing is sickness I hate the winter months for this reason, his poor little picture says it all he was miserable and it filtered through all of us.  I hate when my babies are sick.  Here's to the new year and making it a memorable one, filled with the people that I love!

Christmas 2012

Well Santa found my kids Presley asked for a guitar and Ridge got a race car track.  Ridgey opened his first two presents which were CAT trucks and tha'ts all he was interested in, so him and Grandpa played trucks.  Presley on the other hand just loved opening the presents and was very glad to help her brother.  She got some new cowgirl boots, dolls, little pet shops, and clothes.  Ridge got trucks, light up toys, blocks, and clothes.  After we opened presents we went to Grandma Beths for dinner.  After that we went to visit my family where the kids got to open their presents from them.  It was a lot better to have Ridge older and not 1 month.  It was fun to see their faces as they opened there gifts.  Presley enjoyed helping mom pick out presents, although she's not very good at keeping secrets.  We also learned a lot about her nativity set and the story behind it.  Love my sweet family and the memories that we get to make together.
