Makenna's Dance Pictures!

I got the picture that the studio took of Makenna in her dance recital costume. I thought that it turned out so cute, I wanted to put it on here. Her dance recital is on Monday, June 2nd, so I am excited about that. I'll put more pictures of the recital, at that time, but here's a preview of her little costume!!

Scandanavian Days in Ephraim

On Saturday we went to Ephraim for their Scandanavian days. On the way their we passed a pig farm, and saw this, hence the below picture. I thought it was funny so I had to put it on here. How often do you see pigs "mating"?

Here is Makenna and Hannah on a little plane ride.
Makenna going down the bouncy slide.
Hannah going down the bouncy slide.
Hannah in a balloon bubble thing. There were balloons floating around and the kids were trying to catch them.
Makenna doing the same thing.

It was fun there, they had little booths set up, and stuff for the kids, they enjoyed it. When we were there, it was the nicest day of the whole trip. But it would get really sunny and warm, then get cold, windy and rainy. The weather couldn't make up it's mind.

Weekend at the cabin

This weekend we went to the cabin with Matt's parents and a friend of Matt's from high school and his family. Here are some pictures of our fun, but cold weekend. Me and Hannah taking a ride on the four wheeler.

Overall it was a fun weekend. It was cold and rainy, for the most part. Matt made dutch oven potatoes on Saturday night for dinner, and it was pouring, so he was out in the rain the whole time watching and cooking those. And because it was so cold and rainy, it took almost 3 hours to cook them. So we didn't eat dinner till almost 8:30pm. But as you can see, the girls had fun riding the four wheeler, and they don't care if it is cold, they had fun anyway!!

No Cavities!!

Today Makenna and Hannah both had their 6 month check up at the dentist. This was Hannah's first time going. I really didn't think that Hannah was going to sit in the chair let alone let them do anything, but she was really good. Makenna went first and Hannah kept asking if it was her turn yet. When it was Hannah's turn, she hopped right up into that chair. She let them clean her teeth and everything. She did really good. The dentist even told me, how good she was and that kids that age don't usually let them really clean their teeth. She's not even 3 yet!! They both walked out with no cavities, and a bag full of "goodies" (toothbrush, paste, dinosaur floss, and bubblegum mouthwash) They have been carrying their bags around since we got home and think it's the greatest thing in the world to have a new toothbrush!! To be a kid, and like the dentist! How would that be?!?!

There are bugs in the salad!

On Saturday, my sister Stefanie had surgery so Makenna and I went to go visit her in the hospital. When we got there Stefanie was eating her lunch, and they had given her a cesar salad, well Makenna asked if she could have a bite, so Stefanie gave her the salad. Well she is sitting there eating it, while I am talking to my sister, Makenna starts talking to me and this is how the conversation went: Makenna: "Mom there is a lady bug in this salad" Me:"Makenna, there is not a lady bug in the salad, it is probably a peppercorn from the salad dressing." Makenna: "No Mom, there really is a lady bug." Me: "It is not a lady bug, stop." Makenna: "Mom, look, it's a lady bug." So I look, and it is a dead lady bug in the salad!! How gross is that?!!? Makenna also says she say an ant in the salad, I didn't see that, but she was right about the lady bug. As the nurse came in to take away the food, Makenna says, "There are bugs in the salad, disgusting!!" My sister, brother in law, and myself, were laughing so hard. So needless to say, if you are ever at Jordan Valley Hospital, and are eating, watch out for bugs in your salad!!

Piggies & Paws

I am having a Piggies & Paws party. If you don't know what that is, it is a picture that an artist makes out of your childrens hand or feet.

Everyone and their friends are invited to come, so if you need directions to my house, leave a comment with your email and I will email you, with my address! They are really cute, I did one for my mom for mothers day, with all of my girls hand prints, and the artist made their hands into a flower garden. It turned out really cute. If you are interested, let me know, Hope you can make it!!

Sad Day :(

Well today, I am trying to keep my mind off of it, but right now, Matt and I were supposed to be on a plane to the Bahamas. We were pretty sure we were going for Matt's work, but the day after the contest ended, Matt found out that he missed out on the trip by one truck. Meaning he sold one truck less than he had to, to go on the trip to the Bahamas. We were disappointed, Matt and I really needed a trip together, away from the kids. You know, they say absence makes the heart grow fonder. I love my kids, but sometimes I need that away time. Oh Well! There is always next year. I just needed to vent a little, Thanks!!

The Perfect Day

Yesterday and today, I would call my perfect day! I love it when the sun is shining and it is warm, but not super hot, that you don't even want go outside. I loved yesterday. After Makenna got home from preschool, we went outside in the backyard, and had a picnic, then the girls wanted to get in there swimsuits and play in the sprinklers. We played for a while, then I blew up this little pool, and filled it with warm water. They loved it, they think it's summer. Hopefully it will stay this nice and not get so cold again! I love it!!!
