CHIPS

We joined this year! Childrens indoor play society!! it is on mondays and thursdays from 930 to 1130! it's AWESOME! This year at there welcome back party they had a petting zoo and a magician and a clown who conviently made balloon animals!! There was cake and snacks and so MANY toys and cars to drive, play houses and WOW! too much to handle! It is awesome! I do have to do a fundraiser though so when I call about premade cookie dough you must all buy from me!! EVERY ONE!! lol. Here are some pics. (they aren't very good cause Lindsay took my D50 and I didn't want to bring my baby out so the point and shoot got dusted off for this job!)

My son... so proud of his goat brushing Skills!

When we talked about puting them into chips Layton kept asking about the petting zoo.
"Are thier going to be giraffes there? how about koalas? Kangaroos?"
I said no to all 3.... some farmer Joe made me a liar!

Tana enjoyed being toted around like a queen in the wagon!!

She too ventured into the petting zoo. But quickly desided she wasn't really fond of touching the animals!! ha ha. She likes her Zoo's a little more traditional. You stay on your side I'll stay on mine! ha ha

Her new best bud Teah! (not sure how to spell) She goes to church with us and is the same age as Tana! They love to play with each other!

Garden goodness!

We planted some squash this spring and although they start off small and insignificant they quickly grew and took over the garden. But they are really yummy! We ate just half of this with butter salt and pepper and fresh garden tomatoes.... Oh so yummy.

Layton found some quilt batting and wanted me to make him a teddy bear. So since we had the stuff and Lindsay was leaving (a sad time for us all) I buckled and made him one. He loves it though! I think it turned out okay... for just taking scraps and sewing together to make somthing cute...RIGHT!?!?! ha ha

His name is Teddy and that is a "T" hand stiched on his chest!! I know we are so original!! Next thing you know we will invent the wheel!
Potty training status report: Tana pooped on the floor.... but peed in the toilet~

Before and middles!

Okay so most of you know that we missed the PA reunion and for good reason! We were renovating! yeah!!!!! I am sure you have either heard me talk about how dated our upstairs looks and how I loved the pink carpets and walls and blinds and ceiling fans!! Okay I assume you caught the sarcasm there...
We finally saved up enough to paint, put casings up and rip down that little wall that divided the front door from the living room. We also bought drapes for the dining room! We purchased the rod for the living room and have to hang it still! Although with no drapes..... we might wait!! ha ha. The living room rod was a bit expensive because the window is 11 ft across. We had to get an heirloom one that is made for older homes!! yikes..... so the drapes will wait until we can afford them!! I am going to look for fabric soon so we can get an Idea of what we want!

We also went on a holiday at a bed and breakfast in cold lake that a family we know and are related to some how down the line runs!! We seem to go there every summer and I LOVE it!! first of all the breakfasts are always amazing and the senery is second to none! There are lots of trails to walk and my favorite is the horses!! Chester and Regal!! I love to go horse back riding and its soooo nice to do that there! Next time I am going out longer though!
Because Warren and I go the kids all get rides too!! Here are a few pics from there!
