duck pond





This got Priya laughing. "What are those ducks doing mom?"

More Childrens Museum




I had to put this picture of handsome Gabe in.
Man Megs you sure have a cute boy.
Gabe loved the Helicopter.

Cute group of kids man. This Picture is about 2 hours past Priyas nap time and she was still going strong.

I love this Picture because this is my little girl. She is such a nurturer and takes very good care of every baby she sees. The water works station was her favorite until she found the babies.

Childrens Museum May 2010


We went to the Children's Museum in Salt Lake. Their is so much to see and do, it was great. As far as Priya was concerned the enrire museum could have been this water works station she could have stayed there all day.


We did find other activities Priya like but the Helicopter below was not one of them. You could push a button that made the helicopter sound like it was starting. Loud noises are not really her thing she doesn't even like helicopters when they are in the sky. All of her cousins on the other hand thought the Helicopter was pretty awesome.

Mothers Day

Shawn, Whitney, and Pearl came for Mothers day.
Matt and Shawn made us a delicious dinner. Thanks Dads!

We were going to take pictures on the swing with our adorable
smiling children that give us the privilege of being mothers when mine
got hurt. Her picture taking grin making mode was over. We decided
this would work as an appropriate mothers day photo since a lot of time
spent as a mother is giving comforting hugs.


Priya and Pearl the girl band, they like to make noise




We finished our evening with blowing dandelions ,
one of the magical parts of childhood.

Our Garden


I know I am a little behind because we are now
harvesting the fruits of this day. We did plant a garden
back in May. It started with a lot of weeds WOW!

Priyas self assigned job was to entertain the worms.
Every worm she came across was placed on the sidewalk
so it could go on a walk. I kept overhearing her sweet voice saying,
"go on the side walk little wormy, you go on a walk."
I had to step in and rescue a few worms being tested for their stretchiness .


The darling helper. She picked her own gardening outfit.


Now the real fun begins, planting. Priya helped plant the peas which
are now her favorite thing to eat from the garden. Every morning we
go check for new peas, this is her first course of breakfast.
She eats peas faster than we can grow them.
Remember the next round of peas need to be doubled.

Quote from Priya, "mmm, I'm a lucky girl to eat these peas!"


FAMILY PAINTING


This was back in May. We rolled out one big piece of
paper and all of us went to work to make a family
collaboration.





It got a little messy. Bath time!


Our work is complete and now it brightens our living room.

A little more Arches


I really enjoyed this camping trip. Arches is a great place
for kids. I think we might go back again this fall when it
cools off a bit.


This was a very interesting puddle
