Dinosaur Adventure

My sister Kari and I took the kids to the dinosaur park in Ogden Canyon. It was great! We saw tons of dinosaurs, fossils, and other cool stuff (except Ross Geller). The kids really enjoyed the afternoon. We had lunch at the cafe there, and ate yummy dino food. I recommend this outing for anyone who lives close enough to go, but plan on spending three to four hours (including lunch).

Crack Couch

A while ago, I was playing a super fun game with Lyla. She would shove my bracelets between the cushions of the couch and I would pull them out. Totally entertaining to a one-year-old. Well the last time she stuck them between the cushions, they just disappeared. I pulled all the cushions off and look under the couch but they were gone. We decided to tip the couch on its back and see if they would fall out. When that didn't work either, we sliced the fabric on the bottom of the couch, and as you can see, we found a whole lot more than bracelets. Some of those toys had been missing for probably a year, and I just assumed they were gone forever. Milee thought it was so hilarious and deemed our couch the "Crack Couch."

Isn't She Lovely?

By the way, that's chapstick.

Here Fishy, Fishy

We went fishing up Blacksmith Fork Canyon, and of course, Milee was the only one to catch a fish. It's got to be the Barbie pole.

Fantastic Fourth

We had a great Fourth of July. The girls looked so cute in their new outfits from Grandma Sib. The parade was hot, but the kids got loads of candy. Lyla about dragged me down the street chasing after the sweets. The big kids better watch out next year.

We had yummy food after the parade, and the kids spent all day in the water. We closed the holiday with a professional fireworks show put on by Colby.

Pig Party

Milee turned four, and we decided to have a pig party. We had pin the tail on the pig, watched "Three Pigs and a Baby," smacked a pig pinata, and had pig cupcakes while wearing pig ears and noses. As you can see, she made a haul.

Our New Best Friend

We love having a garden even though it takes a lot of hard work. The girls are good helpers, and they even find new friends hiding in the dirt once in a while.

Dancing Queen

Milee was so wonderful at her first dance review. She had to do three dances: ballet, tap, and jazz. I was so proud, she knew the steps, and even made a fish face during the "Under the Sea" routine!

Turkey Huntin'

Colby went turkey hunting again this year, but was bombarded with snow, not turkeys. I know the boys had a great time anyway, even though they didn't bring home any Toms. Better luck next year!

Cake, Pool, What Else is There?

We had a big family party the Sunday after Lyla's birthday. We decided she hadn't had enough sugar with the PB tart, so Grandma Sib made her a fabulous cake. Of course she snarfed that down too. She got great presents, and especially loves her pool and slide.

Lyla's 1!

I can't believe Lyla is one. Time goes so fast. We had a private family party on her actual birthday and went to our favorite Sweetly Divine pastry shop. The peanut butter tart was actually mine, but as you can see, Lyla devoured it. And of course I bought her her first Barbie!

We Love the Wii

Mom and Dad brought their Wii up one Sunday and we battled it out till the sun went down. Milee is definitely the champ at boxing, she even has the best outfit.

Pantry Predator

I've got to start chaining up the pantry.

Baby Animal Days

Milee begged me to take her to Baby Animal Days at the American West Heritage Center. It was so cold that day, but that meant no one would be there. We walked right up to every animal instead of having to fight the crowds. The girls loved all the baby chicks, cows, pigs, horses, lambs, ducks, and any other animal you can think of.
