Macey's grocery store

Ellie and I had a great time at a field trip with Ellie's preschool. Last week we got to go to Macey's. We learned all about the different departments and saw all different kinds of food. They even let us in the huge fridge and then turned off the light, Ellie thought that was kind of scary. Her favorite part was the cookie and donut we had for a treat, yum! I love Ellie's preschool and I am so glad my kids have a great time there too.

Funny Faces

So a couple times a week for a couple of hours Taylor and Ellie go to school. That leaves me with Jos and Noah, so much fun! We are able to read books and dance and sing to silly music. (this is Noah's favorite) I also get to rest sometimes, or get some extra house work done. I also use this time to get some errands done, like go to the doctor or grocery store. Mostly I just enjoy being with my babies. Here are some pictures from that time the other day. Joslyn wanted to make silly faces for the camera. She has to look at them right after, of course.
This picture is of Jos and Noah watching cartoons, this is how I get a little rest. Noah has this great thing where he tackles anyone that is laying on the floor.



This picture is actually from the other night when we were making things with playdough. Taylor made some cute jewlery and Joslyn wanted to model it.

This is a picture of Noah right before we got his haircut last weekend. That was really fun. We took all the kids to cookie cutters in Bountiful. They had the cutest setup. The kids sit in play cars and planes, get candy, and watch movies. I need to put some after pics on here!

Okay, here are the pictures of Joslyn and her funny faces! She loves to look at pictures of herself and I am sure she will enjoy these for years to come.

Spa day

As some of you know, my dad gave us girls a really nice Christmas gift last year. It was a day of pampering at the Grand Spa at the Grand America hotel in Salt Lake. We had to wait for my sister to get home before we could go, so we finally got together to make it happen a couple of weeks ago. I was looking forward to it because I decided to get a long prenatal massage. Oh boy did I need it. I need one just about every day actually, but I will take what I can get. Needless to say, it was a really nice day. I worked out with Vanessa, got my massage and then a pedicure. Then we all had lunch at the yummy buffet in the hotel, where the funny speaking owner insisted I take some bread pudding home to the father of my baby. It was so fun to spend time together as women and relax a little. The funny thing is, when I got home, I was exhausted. Justin couldn't understand how I was so tired from all the relaxing, but I was! Thanks again dad, it was so nice of you to think of us! Just a disclaimer, the robes were not flattering and I look huge in the pics, sorry!

Mama's little monkey

Noah has a shirt that says. "mama's little monkey." And that about sums it up! He is always climbing on things and getting into things, and just making a mess! He also has a bit of a temper. He screamed and pounded on the bathroom door this morning when he thought I was in there! When he saw that I wasn't he just spoke giberish and pointed to the bathroom, and walked away. Such a mama and daddy's boy!

This pic is of one of our cats making herself comfortable on Joslyn's pillow. I found her there when I did my nightly rounds on the kids. We recently had our cats fixed, and I am so happy about it. They were acting so crazy before and now they are wonderful!

Princess party

Last Saturday Taylor, Ellie and I went to a princess party at the library. (Joslyn wasn't old enough.) It was so fun! I was so impressed by all the work and planning that went into it. They read books, made a tiara, ate princess snacks, and even visited with princess Aurora. The girls had such a good time. The cutest part was when they were sitting on the rug together Ellie kept putting her arm around Taylor. It was so sweet, they are such good sisters. I am so lucky! They fight, of course, but it is times like these that make it all worth it.

Bedtime

I don't know about all of you, but, bedtime at our house can be a little crazy! Some days are better than others, but they are always exciting. The other night Ellie decided to get creative with her pajamas, and of course the other kids thought it was hilarious!
Noah had a hard day, and fell asleep in Dad's arms.
