Before the "you know what"...

Hit the "you know what" and everyone got sick....

We had a birthday!!!!!!!! Lucky number seven!!!! Tea sets, princess coloring pages, watercolor pencils, Hannah Montana movies, a fabulous hat, and sparkly Barbies. Don't forget swimming with 2 BFFs and cupcakes with lots of sprinkles.

Silver Lake

You know what's really fun about getting up into the woods, getting away from it all?... The crowds of people, the kids having a fit because they aren't by any electrical outlets, obnoxious teenagers, keeping toddlers away from ducks & out of the lake. It was a gas..... Why did I think everyone needed to get out of the house?

The littlest recess monitor at school

Did you know French Toast has eggs?

AND, did you know Owen is allergic to eggs? These particular photos were taken at the Road Island Diner in Oakley. About 30 minutes before chaos "erupted" from Owen. In the back of the car. On his blanket. And clothes. And seatbelt. And carseat. Didn't capture that on the camera. Too busy trying to find the wipes. And the ziplocs. And the Lysol. And trying to chill Olivia out cuz she was right next to him strapped in her seat. Can we just get home already?

Would I sound like a jerk if......

.....I said this was the best part of the whole weekend?

Mushroom hunting

So, after we

got the elbow popped back into place, we headed up the hill & looked for some mushrooms. All the kiddles found some, Olivia even found an edible bolete called a Slippery Jack. I know, I sound like a real live mushroom hunter huh?!? The Mushroom Society of Utah is one fun group, they helped enormously with identification & yummy food.

Rough weekend

Man! I need a vacation from our vacation. Between a trip to the dr for "nursmaid's elbow"-- just google it--and a giant goose egg on her head the next day, Mary had a bit of a rough ride in the high Uintahs

The solar system-- it's fun for all.........

unsafe baby toy of the day #2

I'm canning dilly beans today. Between pickling salt, jalapeno peppers, boiling water bath and glass jars-- I'd say a big jug of vinegar is the safest thing around!

AND, she is even playing in the same place as this morning, on the other side of the kitchen!!! Far away from stove. I promise. All you grandmas out there are probably shaking your heads. HEY, she's child #4 what do you expect?

Baby playing with magnets!!
