Field Trip!

Today Kaitlyn and I went on a school field trip to

This is the Place Park.

We had a lot of fun.

If you aren't from Utah this Park is amazing!

It is built on the site where Brigham Young

stopped the Mormon Wagon Train and

said, "This is the place."

And the pioneers settled in this, the Salt Lake Valley.

At the park the workers are all

dressed in authentic pioneer clothes and teach

the kids how peopled worked in

pioneer times.

This is Kaitlyn brushing wool. She learned how

wool goes from a sheep to a blanket!

She got to learn how to plow and

how hard it really is. If only she

would work this hard at home!

She even got to help make the Deseret News.

By using the printing press!

We had a really good time!

Field trips are great but man am I tired!

Headbands

So the other day I found a blog tutorial

on making headbands and thought I would

give it a try.

They were easy!

They turned out really cute!

I made 16 of them for $5.50. That is totally worth it.
I was on the phone with a friend as I was making
them (shocking!).
She timed me and it took 8 minutes
from fabric to headband!

The girls loved them. When we
were finished and trying them on we discovered
another use for them!

Cool dude!

Connor liked them just as much as the girls!!

They would also work as a nice blind fold when needed.

It was a fun project!

Wicked

AMAZING!!!!

Goblin Valley

Last Friday Monte took the day off

and we took the kids to

Goblin Valley.

We had such a fun time.

The weather was beautiful and we

hiked all over the place.

The kids came home filthy dirty and completely happy.
The next morning Sydney asked if we could go again.

Update!

My Camera!

Monte fixed it.

I am happy, the husband who has been known

to put batteries in backwards, fixed my camera!

After I had looked at all the ads, got advice, checked

consumer report...he fixes it!

No new camera with all the cool

new features they have come

out with since we got ours 5 long years ago!

Yeah for me!
