Moab

We took a little weekend family trip to Moab!

We started off by getting there on Friday, and setting up our trailer... (well my parents trailer that we borrowed)... after we set up camp, we went into downtown Moab and walked around, looking at the little shops....

Then Saturday, we went on a little scenic drive.....

When we got back, it was pretty chilly, but the girls really wanted to go swimming, so Matt took the girls.....

And I stayed back in the trailer, with these two cuties....

That night, we made smores....

Sunday, we woke up and got the trailer all packed up and then went to Arch's National Park and hiked around a little bit!

 The Girls....

 The boys....

A picture of my girls with some new little friends they made at the campground....

What do you do when you are on your way home from Moab and you have two babies that are crying and really want to get out of their seats?!!?

Give them chocolate!!.....

We had such a fun time. Night time was a little (saying sarcastically)... interesting to get these two to go to sleep. I thought I could just make up a bed for them in the trailer, but that didn't work too well. They thought since they weren't locked in a crib, they would have some fun! Peeking at each other, laughing and laying on each other... Needless to say, it didn't work out. Matt had to take them on a drive to get them to sleep, then we put Drew in the pack-n-play, and had Sophie in a made up bed with suitcases all around her.

We know what we would do different next time! Bring 2 pack-n-plays!!!

Fun time, but glad to be home!!

Easter 2012

 We had such a fun Easter time! It was pretty relaxed, not too much running around! We started off by decorating Easter eggs.....

We had some fun Easter egg hunts with cousins....

 Then of course Easter Sunday, the Easter bunny came, and they all looked so cute in their new Easter clothes... then we went over to the Hood side of the family and had dinner and a little egg hunt there as well!

I think it is safe to say, the kids got plenty of candy from all their egg hunts and I have probably gained 5 pounds from eating it all!

Help, I'm Stuck!

This is what we found yesterday....

Sophie had climbed underneath her saucer and stood up, she then proceeded to stick her arm through one of the leg holes, getting stuck.

I know, I know... yes I grabbed the camera before I helped her, but I couldn't help it, it was so funny!!

Science Fair

While we were off track in February, Makenna started working on her science fair project.

She named her project... "Cookie Dough Dilemma"

She started by making a batch of cookie dough and putting it in the fridge for 2 days. When those two days were up, she made cookies from that dough.

She then made a fresh batch of dough and cooked them right away. We then had volunteers come over and try both cookies and fill out a questionnaire about what cookie they liked better and any taste difference between the two!

Then just last week, she got all the information from her project together and made a board.

They had the science fair. Out of her class of 23 kids, 5 were picked to be judged by the district, where then 2 from the class go on to the district science fair.

Well she was one of the top 5! I was so proud of her to get picked out of all the other projects to "move on." She didn't go farther on, but that okay!

She did great and we had a lot of fun together getting her project ready and cooking together!
