Mom's Day Out...

May 21st, 2010
A big group of us were able to be in the LIVE audience of
Good Things Utah...
SO FUN!!!

Between me and Tauna, i'm pretty sure we were the loudest laughers this show has ever seen! (mainly a nervous laugh because we were on LIVE TV, practically FAMOUS!). Marti & Angie asked us to come back EVERY morning! ha ha ha. I think I burned about 3000 calories in that single hour:-) I had a total blast. What a great day out!

"PINK, PINK, PINK" I said!

PINK-A-LICIOUS!

For Rylee's Birthday, Belle gave her the book "Pinkalicious" as well as pink cupcake mix, pink frosting and pink sprinkles! The book is our new FAVORITE... it is about a little girl who makes pink cupcakes and eats so many she turns a beautiful color of PINK; so pink she is PINK-A-LICIOUS! So one night we thought we'd read the book and make the cupcakes with the couches and Hannah:)

We got a little carried away with the PINK frosting, but had FUN doing it!

May 18, 2010

Well, we were having so much fun with the book "PINKalicious", we thought we'd try out the book "PURPLicious"! So, the girls worked hard all week saving up enough "puff balls" in their jar for our purplicious breakfast! We had purple pancakes with purple milk, and read our new book "Purplicious"!

May 27, 2010

In fact, we loved our purplicious book so much, a few weeks later when we were painting one morning, the girls started mixing colors, and realized they could be just like the girls in the book and paint a beautiful blue cake and add PINK to make it a
PURPLICIOUS PAINTING!!!

And that is exactly what they did! They dressed up just like the 2 girls in the story and did a painting exactly like the one in PURPLICIOUS.
It was... PURPL-ICIOUS!!!

Now... the tricky part is going to be re-in-acting "GOLDalicious"!? In that book, she has an imaginary unicorn named GOLDILICIOUS! I don't know where we are gonna find a unicorn... ha ha :-)

Painting ourselves into a corner!

May 20, 2010

Well, Spring had Sprung, and there were projects to be Done!
Including, painting the deck...

My girls and I had a great morning doing this little project together.
They were actually great helpers.

OOPS..... ha ha ha!!!

This was SO funny. They were just painting away, all around themselves, then they realized what they had done! They thought it was SO super funny! (so they trapped themselves in as much as they possibly could)
Silly little girly's:)

MIMI's: Milly's Chicken!

From the Moment her Egg hatched...
this little chicken was Amelia's chicken: MIMI's!

Milly LOVES Mimi's...

Even as Mimis grew older, she STILL loved that chicken...
Pettiskirt or no pettiskirt, she wanted to hold her chicken!

She loved to find worms for Mimi and bravely feed her by hand...

Well, her little MIMI turned into a mi-HE... a Rooster!
So, her little Mimi is now living at Petersen Farm Supply as the store mascot!

From Egg to Hen, just like that!

INCREDIBLE to think it can go from THIS:

TO THIS:

TO REAL CHICKENS LIKE THIS!

Well, these ever growing CHICKENS needed a home,
so these two creative cats got to work on a chicken coop:

The finished product was BEAUTIFUL...
the crowd went wild!

The children loved it, and the chickens loved their new home!

Neighborhood Petting ZOO!

As our Chicks and Ducks grew...
so did our neighborhood fans!!!

We had so many fun visitors to chase our chickens and see our ducks swim...



So much FUN!

And the poor, patient, sweet baby chicks and ducklings got MANY rides in baby strollers...

This was Rylee's favorite thing to do, walking the ducks:

Milly loved taking the chickens for wild and crazy rides in her little stroller, her bike, or little ride-a-long cars:

Sophi and Milly were little farmers and could chase and take care of those baby animals all day long!

Brodyn was the most diligent, and guaranteed to be the first one each morning, without fail, to come over and check on HIS CHICKEN, he named: "black-man bus driver" ha ha:) He had that thing trained to perch on his arm for hours at a time!


Brooky helped hatch our ducks while we were out of town, she they were like her little babies.
Her and her brothers made frequent visits to take the ducks swimming and teach them tricks:

Baby Ducklings!

One week after our Chicks hatched, our Duck and Geese eggs hatched!!!

A few days later, we took them for their first SWIM!

Bath time was over and it was time to dry the ducklings off and put them in their new home...

Rylee & Milly were so good at rounding them up...

These girls loved their fluffy little ducks and geese. Some of the names included:
Lucky Duck; Lilly Goose; Lucy Goosey!

SO SWEET!!!
