over the past 2 months.....

We started March with a Vacation to Moab. This was such a fun little trip. I admit I get a little nervous with the whole climbing rocks that bigger than cars and steep cliffs on either side, but it is such a fun trip. We had fun company, thank you Wolford crew, and everyone who helped make this trip such a fun experience.
This was the only obstacle that I got out of and made my kids climb out of this canyon. We had a little bit of a length disadvantage on this trip. Of course as soon as we got home Wes was making all of these plans to change our little Rubi, fortunately he stopped with only new tires.


This was my view for most of the trip.
Some beautiful scenery, it makes me really want a DLSR camera and a photography class.....
This is what the girls looked like......
The Eccles Dinosaur Park in Ogden
Digging for some rocks in gravel.


I don't know if we should be sitting here or not, but there wasn't a sign and who can resist a pink dinosaur.
We were shopping at Kohls one day and the girls needed Jammies with dolly Jammies.

Sarah has started that phase in life where she is giving up naps, but really still needs one. Most of the time she spends her afternoon grouching around and as soon as dad gets home, she's out.
Easter.
Wes and I went to Las Vegas the weekend before Easter, therefore I was stuck working Easter, so I was kinda a bummer mother, and I am laking some photos, but Wes was a good sport and did the whole egg hunt thing.

Baby Animal days!
I wasn't about to spend the day with the other 7,000 people who attended the event on Easter weekend. I went the weekend after. The weather was nice and there were no lines and the animals were still babies.
Look at my Cowgirls.

Megan is holding baby Alice.

Loving us some naughty goats


This was so funny, maybe that's why I put the pic up twice. These goats were eating Sarah's shirt. She'd shoo one away and then the other would nibble, it was too cute.

It took Sarah a minute to warm up to the baby chick. They had some really cute little yellow ones, but my girls liked the little brown one.


And what post of mine would be complete without my kids in the tub.

Happy Birthday and Happy Valentines Day!

Sorry that my last post was soooo depressing. Fortunatley we had February to look forward to. There are some very special days in this month. Megan's birthday and Valentines day! Meg turned 5 this year. She had seriously 5 parties. This is her combined party with Grandma Irene.
Megan's preschool teacher made this darling cake for her bithday. (Party 2)
On Meg's "real" birthday she woke up to her birthday presents, and we went rollerskating at the funpark after dad came home from work. Then we had cake with Grandma Pammy. (Party 3)

My Caketasrophy. Megan wanted a "rock star" themed part this year, so I called wal-mart and ordered one of the cakes where they turn 24 cupcakes into a guitar shape. When I went to get the cake it was just 24 cupcakes, no shape. I totally paniked. There was no time to get the cake decorator to fix her mess up so I took the cupcakes and went and grabbed some frosting. This cake is mine as Wes' efforts at our cake decorating. Look out Cake Boss. Really I am still bummed, if i wanted a homemade looking cake i would have done it myself. Sadly I am running out of trustwothy bakeries in town.......
The Friend Party (#4). Meg had 10 of her little friends from school and church come and play. We had a great time, we made braclets, baked pizzas, played musical chairs, and hit a pinata. SO why does my kid look so sad?



They were the cutest bunch of little girls.
Sarah was so sad that they broke the guitar.
ROCKSTARS! btw party #5 was a family party with Pammy and Kerry and Jason, Kristina, Heather Jenni and baby cousin Carter.
This was the best part, undecorating. I was loving the scare hair.
Sarah does have some clothes, she just chooses not to wear them.
Valentines day!
Wes and I have been together 10 years and well I thought we needed new rings. (i actually got mine back in june).
Mine the before and now!
Wes' ring was so worn out, it used to be 2 colors and have a finish on it, now it is just mutilated and scratched.

This is what the girls woke up to.
Why on earth would anyone give a 2 year old a doodle bear? Cuz the markers are washable.
Meg was drawing hearts.
Enjoy some naked baking. Aprons are ineffective at preventing stains when it comes to red velvet cupcakes, so we just bake nakey. Well not me......
