Shh!

My mom is coming! We will go pick her up from the airport after I drop Mayli off at Preschool on Thrusday. She wants to surprise the girls so don't say anything! I am SO excited though and my girls will be so happy to have their grammie here for a visit!

Warm enough for playing at the park... sort of!

So on Friday it was SUNNY (about 40 degrees) but still it was sunny! We decided to have a picnic at the park, it was really fun.

Tori LOVES to swing. She pretty much stays in the swing the whole time we are there, I would just give her something to eat and push her and she was a happy girl.

Mayli on the other hand loves to swing but likes to run around much more. She is such a happy girl and was SO happy to be at the park. Thanks Sunny Day!

Fun Museum Field Trips!

Through the MBASA (MBA spouse association) there is always fun things to do. The past 2 Fridays we have gone to some fun Museums for a little culture.


This Friday we went to the BYU Museum of Art where they had a Walter Wick exhibit. He is the guy who does all the I Spy picture books. Mayli LOVES his books and so just loved going to see this. They had lots of pictures and also his little models that he makes for his pictures . He actually sets up little models of castles and things with little people and everything, amazing!






The Friday before last we went to the Museum of Cultures and People. We learned about Native Americans, listened to some books, and saw some neat pottery.










Then the kids got to try to make pottery of their own with play dough! They had lots of fun at both of these field trips, thanks MBASA!

Swimming Lessons!

Mayli started swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago and DID NOT like it at first. She is so afraid of putting her face under the water but she has a really nice teacher and only one other kid in her class and she is getting more comfortable and having fun now.



This is her favorite thing to do, kicking and splashing!

Here she is with the goggles that I smarly barrowed before I would buy her some- she didn't put them on her eyes the whole time!

And there she goes facing her fear, she is doing so good!

Spring Forward!

WHAT you say, ya me too! This whole changing times is crazy, we are now an hour later than all of you AZ folks. To be honest I see the point with the day light savings when it isn't even dark at 7:30pm but it still is weird to me! Nothing I can do about it though except set my clocks AGAIN, silly!

I love Mr Clean!

I know that I am way behind on this but I have never used a Magic Eraser before this weekend when I had to clean my apartment after we moved (yes we moved again, just to a new apartment in Provo but that is a whole new post). This thing kicks butt! You can clean so much with this and it gets stains out that you can't get out with other cleaners, I am very impressed. Thanks Mr Clean!

Draper Temple Open House

My sister-in-law Amy called my on Thursday morning and said she had some extra tickets to the Draper Temple open house. I wasn't sure if we should go because the tickets were for 12:40 and with nap time and all it was going to be interesting, not to mention we were moving the next day! But... I really thought that it would be something neat for my girls to see and I was right.


It was so beautiful and Mayli loved all the paintings of Jesus. It is always neat to get to see inside the beautiful temples and feel the spirit that is already there.









We went with Amy, Spencer, Abby and Lyla and also Amanda and her girls Sophie and Laynie.They were all so cute together and had a really good time.














There was a bunch of paintings and pictures in a chapel after we did the tour with cookies and little water bottles. Tori was pretty much done by this point but overall it was a really neat experience.
