Happy Bday Anna

We celebrated Anna's 7th bday last week. Wow! I can't beleive she is 7! She is really growing up. Some of her favorite things: drawing, cooking, playing make believe, watching movies, making huts, rolling in the grass at recess, reading, and playing tag with brother.
She has been dreaming about taking treats to school for her birthday for 8 months now... We made brownies with jelly beans on top.
 

David is always so happy to see her.
 

The week before we had a 'party' with her cousins at the rec center so we celebrated at home with gma and gpa.
 

The kids liked our little decorations they called it a 'big top' at the circus. It fell down pretty quick, but I managed to get a picutre before anyway.

Our New Toy

Wayne got some extra money at work and he said we could get an ipad. They were marked down because the new ipad 2 came out, so it was the perfect time. BUT they were really hard to find... I called about 5 stores, no one had one. The wait time from apple was 3-4 weeks. I got lucky on our little trip out to salt lake though... and scored an ipad 2(it was $100 more, but... it was like gold to find one!). Its kind of a funny story. I had been checking the inventory online, and almost every Walmart said they had 1, well I found out they have to say they have one because they have a demo one, but they can't sell it. ANyway I just thought I'd try to go into the store and ask. Of course they didn't have one, but while I was standing there asking a worker came up with a brown box. And sure enough... our new Ipad 2 just delivered! yeah for us!! It felt kind of like winning a big contest ro Christmas morning or something... Anyway its been fun. Megan LOVES it and Wayne is having lots of fun too... well me too, when I can have my turn. ;)

Spring Break getaway

It was so nice to have a week off of school for spring break. I planned a little trip out to Salt Lake to stay in the Holiday Inn express that has a little water park inside. It was really fun. It was just the kids and me but I'm always up for an adventure!
All ready to swim! They love their tubes.
 

Choo choo train. The girls are getting so comfortable in the water, its really nice.
 

We went swimming a month ago with David and he loved it, he really wanted to be on his "own". My sister in law had one of these swimmer's lifejackets for her little guy, and it worked really well. So we got one for David. It was so nice!
 

As you can see he was jumping and swimming everywhere!

We stopped at McDonalds in Heber city. We never take the time to stop there and play on our way through Heber. The kids really loved it! We are going to have to do it again.
 

 

Anna has been asking to go to Build a Bear workshop agian, so we went for a little early bday present. They love dressing them up, naming them and playing all kinds of imaginary things. (so far we've played doctor, witch, zoo keeper, bear hunters, and mommy even had fun sewing some more outfits for them)

Dinosaur Museum fun

We enjoyed a visit to the Dinosaur Museum in Vernal with our cousins over spring break. David absolutely loved it! He was so excited running around everywhere saying "cool!" and "big dinosaur!". It was really cute. The girls enjoyed it too and love spending time with their cousins. They are both so lucky to have cousins really close to their age.
 

Yeah they probablly weren't supposed to climb on the dinosaurs... but it makes a cute picture!
