Owen in the sink

I guess only me and his Grandma's

would think this is cute.  And I know

I can't give Owen a bath in the kitchen

sink forever.  Usually I can just wipe his 

hands off after lunch but with spaghetti

I had to strip him down and plop him

in the kitchen sink.  He had spaghetti 

in places he shouldn't have!  Plus he loved

playing in the water and I did not have

to bend over a tub to wash him.  

It was quite convenient! 

Chocolate Factory Field Trip

Sierra had another Preschool field trip in North Salt Lake

at Mrs. Cavanaugh's chocolate Factory. 

She got to see how the factory got started and 

how they make the delicious chocolate candy

It was kind of hard for the preschoolers to really

appreciate it.  They let all of us have a chocolate.

But of course Sierra did not like it because it had

carmel in it.  So the kind worker went and got one

just for her that was all chocolate. 

They also had a mini town for a train to go around. 

Sierra and Owen watched that forever.

New Years 2012

After our quick visit to my mom in Idaho we left straight

to Bear Lake to be with Brandon's family for 

New Years.

Spencer brought some guns up for us adults to shoot.

I have only ever shot a 22 or a shot gun so it 

was fun and a little scary to shoot a glock 40 and

a 45 magnum revolver.  I had to ask Brandon what 

kind of guns I shot to put this on the blog.  And I'm sure 

I could not remember them if I had to point them out either!

Later that night we celebrated the new year with a 

count down around 8:30 in stead of Midnight for the kids.

Grandma is so awesome and brought a ton of confetti

poppers and noise makers.  The kids and adults had

so much fun making a mess and being loud.

 The kids had fun shooting the poppers off the loft

and watching the confetti float down.

Later after we cleaned up and put the kids to bed

it was time for some adult time to hang out and 

watch a movie.  And of course we could not

forget the snacks and treats.  The funny thing is when 

we were all down stairs and heard a big pop 

sound and then Brandon laughing.  We ran up stairs to 

find him holding the top of a sparkling sider bottle 

and the ceiling dripping from the drink.  Kind, tall Spencer

wiped it off for him while Brandon cleaned 

the floor.  And the rest of us just laughed! 

The next day we hit the four wheelers and did some

sledding.

 Owen loved going on rides on the four wheeler. 

He did not care who took him.  Even though it was 

way past his nap time and he was tired he would not

give up the rides. 

And he even got some of his own driving time!
