Today the girls and I headed over to Lowes to get some flowers for a hanging basket. We hadn't been in the garden center for 3 minutes when the girls spotted a Sesame Street seed display. The were oooohing and aaaawing over the elmo tomatoes, oscar green beans and big bird sunflowers when they turned the corner and there it was.... the Disney Princess Gardener display. Before I even knew what had happened they were wearing the aprons and hats, with the gardeners tote bags on their arms. They were stuffing all sorts of princess gardening tools in the totes and looking at me saying "Please Momma, PLEASE Momma?!?!" After a lot of begging and pleading (on my part), and got it narrowed down to just the aprons, hats and cultivators. I have to admit, though.... they looked pretty cute out there playing in the dirt. (you can see their "culitators" in the pockets of their aprons)

And a fun find this weekend. While we were working in the yard something moved around in the tree next to me and I looked up to see a Robin with a mouth full of worms. Seconds later the chorus of little chirps erupted. After a dash for the camera and trip up the ladder we discovered the little birds in a nest. The girls have been having so much fun watching our little baby birds.

Memorial Day BBQ

For our Memorial Day BBQ's we always make homemade rootbeer. The girls were so intrigued by it this year. They thought the dry-ice mist was so neat and were convinced that because the rootbeer was smelling so good they would probably be able to taste it through the mist. They were pretty funny to watch.

Walking the Logan River Trail

We love to go on walks along the Logan River Trail. Hopefully soon it will get warm enough so that we don't have to bundle up before doing so.

First Impressions...

My little nephew Brody made a great impression on the girls during their first introductions today. Long after we left their house Laila kept telling me "I luuuuuv Brody."

The Little Stinker

Meet Brody

My sister Robyn had a beautiful 6 pound 5 ounce baby boy on Tuesday, but today was the first day that I have been able to see him. My poor girls have been so sick this week that I didn't even dare visit him in case I had lingering germs on me. I have to tell you he is the most precious little thing and beyond content. He is dealing with a bit of jaundice, but hopefully he will be free and clear of his little "tanning bed" soon!

 

Happy Birthday Miss Shonee!!

 My adorable little niece turned 12 yesterday! We just love her SO much!
