Eliza's Fieldtrip to Sciworks

Yesterday I went on Eliza's fieldtrip to Sciworks. What a fun place! She had an amazing time. I wasn't able to ride on the bus with her so I'm sure I missed out on some really great pictures, but I'm pretty sure I got plenty of others. This is already a long enough post without them. While there they went to a petting zoo, saw sea otters, went to the planetarium and watched a movie about all of the different planets, had lunch, and played with all of the cool stuff.





Maybe she'll be an orthopedic surgeon someday???


Or a dentist??



Me and Eliza with her best friend Jenna Jordan.



This was pretty cool. After you spin the wheel, whatever way you turn the wheel the chair will turn in the same direction. Eliza thought that was pretty neat.


She LOVED the air chair!





She also LOVED the fishing. She spent quite a bit of time doing it.

She's not a cheater, really she's not....

Okay, maybe just a little bit of one!

Proud little fisherman.


Eliza's always picking flowers wherever she goes.

I caught her jumping up and peeking her sweet little cheeks over the water so that she could see the sea otters, so cute!

What A Sweet Girl!!

I took a nap one day (while I was supposed to be studying, oops!) and when I woke up I found these beautiful wildflowers on my nightstand. Eliza had picked them for me and put them in a cup and filled them with water all by herself. What an adorable, sweet girl! I just love her so much and LOVE that she is so sweet and thoughtful. Thank you Eliza.



She kept watering them for the next few days with her own little watering can.




She of course had to make some silly faces for the camera while we had it out. She just can't get in front of it without wanting to get a couple silly pics in first. We love how big she makes those pretty eyes of hers!! It cracks us up.



Then she wanted to take a picture of me with my flowers.


Me and my most favorite girl in the world!! Love, love, love her!

Salem Lake

Salem Lake is a fun place to go for the afternoon to hang out with the family and even get a little exercise. Blake and the boys rode their bikes around the whole lake ~ 7 miles! Way to go boys!! Eliza and I walked around part of the lake and then fed ducks while we waited for our boys to get back. We even had a nice little picnic lunch together.




Isn't she sweet???

Easter Cupcakes

My sweet friend Lindsey from school loves to think of cute little crafts or treats to do with the kids. It was so sweet of her, she brought everything. She even pre-made the cupcakes. We made cute little chicks and easter basket cupcakes and the kids LOVED it! They thought they were so cute and fun. The last time Lindsey came over she brought us stuff to make reindeer cookies, I hope the kids don't expect a craft or treat every time she comes over. Thanks again for another fun treat Linds!!

Ward Party

The ward held a party at the YMCA and we had a wonderful time. The whole place was reserved just for us. We ate dinner, played racquetball, went swimming, and played basketball. The kids had such a great time hanging out with all of their church friends. We hope they do this every year!
