It's Finally Here!!!

Our long awaited playground finally arrived today.HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS!!!! Thank goodness it came with installation for the most part (except the gang plank) or I'm sure it would have taken weeks to build! Emma walked into the playhouse and said, " Oh,,,my,,,gosh!" It was so cute! I would have thought the two girls would be sliding down the slide together, one on each slide,,,nope! I look over and here they are snuggled up together and going down together on one slide! Such good friends! It will be soooo fun to see them turn "pink" from all the exercise and fun! The swing set should be here in the next week or so and then we will spend the summer playing!!!!

Beautiful Bugs!

We have had the COOLEST moths flying around our flowering snow cherry tree. You will have to look closely to see them! I will try and get a better picture over the next couple of days/evenings. Every night we have stood and watched them feed on the nectar,,,,at first I thought they were humming birds because they are so fat! The girls just love to stand beside the tree and see them up close! We hope they stick around awhile!

I Could Walk a Mile in Daddy's Shoes!

Good Ole Emma! Always doing something to try and make us laugh! Your just too stinker bug cute!!!!

Day 3 Island In The Sky

This was the last place we visited before going into town for dinner and then heading home! The scenery was beautiful,,,yes once again!

Day 3 Dead Horse Point

This in INCREDIBLE!!!! A definate must see!!!!!!! As we were driving we had to stop for a cattle drive. The girls were jumping out of their seats with excitement over all the new born calves,,,I was a little more preoccupied by the COWBOYS!!!! Dead Horse Point was even more breathtaking then we had heard. We felt like we were on top of the world! The wind was blowing up there, so we hung on tight to our little ones (We are looking a little wind blown)!

Day 3 Hole N' The Rock

Today we went to the Hole N' The Rock and Canyonlands. The Hole N' The Rock took a family about 15 years to compelete and is located in a rock literally. It is about a 5,000 square foot home with bedrooms, livingroom, guest room, kitchen and diner. We were not allowed to take any pictures inside the home but we bought a mini book to share with you all. It was really cool to go on the tour because everything is still the same as it was when they lived there! You can see the windows and doors towards the bottom of the picture to give you an idea of width. The tour guide wasn't quite "all there" but I think it added to the ambiance :) You must go ONCE in your life!!! Hey, what kind of gas mileage do you think that jeep would get? :)

Day 2 Sanddune Arch

This was Maddisen and Emma's favorite arch. We ditched our shoes at the entrance and headed on in for fun in the SAND. The sand is incredibly soft and the arch is found between rock walls. It is like no other rock formation in the area,,,just fantastic. We played there for at least an hour, digging in the sand and climbing the walls.

Day 2 The Arches

We ate a yummy breakfast and then headed out for a day of hiking! We had no idea what to expect and little did we know we were in for an amazing surprise!! BREATH TAKING!!! Can all of this really only be 3 hours away? The girls were as taken by the beauty as we were.I will only post a few pics...but we couldn't stop snapping shots!

Day 1 Archway Inn

When we arrived at the hotel the girls said, "That wasn't very far!" Great little travelers we have! We checked into our executive suite (that was all that was available when I booked the hotel) and were very surprised!! Jetted tub, couch, king and queen beds, two T.V's! Oh and of course Emma was the first to find the telephone next to the POTTY, "Mamma look, we can call grandma and papa when we go potty!" So CUTE!!!! (we had to watch the little stinker when she was in the bathroom) The place was beautiful and girls were ready to just soak it all in,,,pool and all!!! Oh ya,,keith and I were pretty darn excited too!

DAY 1Price: Dinosaur Museum

We drove to Price and then stopped for lunch and a trip to the dinosaur museum. The girls had a great time checking things out and diggin' for bones!!! Dad almost got eaten by a T-rex!!!! Good thing the girls were there to save him!

Moab Family Trip-

During spring break we went to Moab, Utah for two nights/three days. We had soooooooooooooooooooooo much fun and can't wait to share our trip with you! The girls were AMAZING little hikers and couldn't wait to go on the next venture! Emma is such a dare devil that we really had to watch her up on the rocks and edges. Fear didn't stop either of them so we had to keep reminding them not to touch the lizards, spiders or snakes! These two were a blast!!!!

Sisters and Best Friends!

We are sisters and best friends! Each day the girls seem to grow closer not only as sisters, but as friends. They play SO well together and take care of each other. Maddi is there when Emma needs a helping hand and Emma is there to give Maddi kisses. They will play petshop or dolls for hours and the only thing I can hear from the other room is giggling and soft voices. You are the loves of my life and I truly know what special love sisters share because you show me each and everyday!

Day at the ZOO!

Today we went to the zoo with our close friends. We were not sure if the weather was going to cooperate or not but we headed out in the morning for a fun day! The girls had a BLAST!!! Emma was in awe of all the different animals,,,especially the elephants!!!! She kept saying, "So big mama!" All of the animals were out and the crowds were just right! We ended the outing with the last train ride(just happened to catch it in time) before it snowed and they closed the train for the day. The entire day was fabulous and we will definately be returning in the near future!!! Thanks for all the fun girls!
