From the mouth of babes

The other day Maylee was "fixing" my hair. She put about a dozen ponytails in my hair. While she was doing that Morgan asked her, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Maylee thought for a minute and then said, "A bun." We burst out laughing and she added, "A bun in my hair." She has some goals-this girl! I was talking to Maylee and said to her, "No way Jose!" She said, "I not Jose, I am Maylee!" I said, "Then who is Jose?" She said, "He has black hair...and clothes...and he is Koby's friend." (Imagine the tone of duh mom!) We sure love this girl-she keeps us laughing all the time!

All in a day (off)

Last Friday I took the day off of work. During the morning Maylee and I hung out-just the two of us. Her favorite part was when we went to IFA and saw the baby chicks. She LOVED them and kept going back to look some more.
Her favorite ones were black and yellow. After lunch Maylee went to the babysitter and I went to Morgan's school for the Mother's day program the 3rd graders were putting on. Morgan dressed up and looked so beautiful.
They did a dance and then the moms came down out of the stands and danced with them. We did the hokey pokey, chicken dance and the bunny hop.
Very fun! Then we watched a movie they had made about how "Happy" mom's make them. It was adorable. They recited a poem and then gave all of the mom's a plant and cards they had made us. After that we left the school and went and got Morgan her 1st pedicure! It was so fun and she loved it! I ofcourse, had to get mine done. (BTW-one more item crossed off my 40X40 list!)
What an amazing day off, I need more of these days! Next time I need to have individual time with Kobers too.

Spring break 2014

This year for Spring break we stayed in a condo at Wolfe creek in Ogden canyon with Brian and Jody and their family. We had so much fun-I hope it becomes an annual tradition. The kids all got along so well and always seemed to have someone to play with. Koby hung out with Alysheah and McKenna-they watched a lot of movies and played a lot at the rec center. Morgan played with Cayden and Mckenna. Maylee and Cameron became best friends. We got to visit a dinosaur museum Hill air force base museum We got to explore for several hours and even build our own rockets! It was awesome! We got to go to the drive inn movie-Morgan and Maylee's first time. We took the seats out of the van and the kids sat on them between our vehicles. We played at the rec center-racketball, basketball, tennis, volleyball. Here is my fav picture from those activities: We played games, talked, watched movies, relaxed and ate lots of yummy food. It was an amazing vacation.

Museum of Natural curiousity

We were given tickets to preview a new museum from UVU. We went as a family and had a great time. Pretty cool!
