Discovery Science Museum

On our last trip to Utah, we took an afternoon and headed over to the Discovery Science Museum in the Gateway. I totally recommend it if you live in Utah or are on a visit there. It had some really fun things for the girls, and it kept them entertained for quite awhile. It was a great activity for the girls and their cousins to do together.

A life-size helicopter, I imagine little boys would absolutely love this.




A cool xylophone, with sheet music to teach kids how to play a song. Not that Annie really understood that.

Annie and her cousin, Katelyn couldn't get enough of this water fountain the kids could play in.

They had a whole section on how food gets from the farm to the grocery store. Complete with dress-ups.

When Annie Gets Mad

She's not afraid to let you know.

 

 

This girl really knows how to get what she wants.

I Won a Giveaway!

I enter giveaways from time to time, but was beginning to lose faith that I would ever win one. Well, I just won this:



A cute necklace for a little girl from Paperwhite Jewelry. Pretty exciting! You can find giveaways here and here...to name a few.

Cousins

Natalie and Annie were able to meet up with their cousins last Saturday for dinner. They had a blast, and were loud and obnoxious, probably everybody in the restaurant couldn't wait until we left.

Annie, Katie, and Natalie. I think Katie and Natalie kind of look alike.

Feature Writer

I'm now a feature writer on my friend Beth's blog: A Little Etsy Love. It's a blog that has wonderful giveaways from Etsy shops and features the great items you can find on Etsy. Go check out my post on Greeting Cards. I'll be posting every Thursday. Thanks for giving me the job, Bethy!

Easter '09

We had a nice Easter, how about you?

Our Ward Easter Egg Hunt, of course Natalie had to wear her crown, and Annie had a hard time figuring out what exactly these eggs were doing just lying around.




Easter morning. And the crown makes another appearance.




And all dressed up. Natalie had the crown on before we went out the door, her mean mommy made her take it off. Did I mention today was Annie's first day of nursery! Hallelujah!

Queen of Bedhead

Every morning, Annie has a sweet case of bedhead (and after naps, too, come to think of it). This morning she was feeling particularly fluffy.

Four Cuties

I love this picture with the girls and our close friends Dave and Holly's little girls: Inez and Gwen.



And while we're on the subject of Dave and Holly, I think I'll put in a little plug right now for Holly's new Etsy shop Aye Querida, she makes adorable skirts for little girls and at a completely affordable price.




So head on over and take a look around!
