Funny Thoughts by Lexi


So we are headed home from lunch today when Lexi spots the temple. She asks me so which is Jesus house the temple or the church? I say both. She says I think the temple is his house and the church is his cabin.
Gotta love the things kids say!!

Discovery Museum


My sister, Keil, and I decided to fit one more fun thing in to the summer so we headed up to the Children's museum at the Gateway mall. Keli thought the kids would have fun riding trax in to Salt Lake...she was right. They thought that was pretty cool to go on a little train! Once we got there the party really started. The kids had a blast. There is so much to do and not a whole lot of "no you can't do that"s going on. Kids love that! Here they all are waiting to do a Popsicle art project. They painted with Popsicles. Then got to eat them.
Lexi loved this little horse. She got on it several times and thought it was really fun. ( I didn't personally see the fun in it but hey whatever makes her happy!) One of Addy's favorite things was the rock wall. This view is from the opposite side of the wall. She thought it was so cool that you could see to the other side of the wall. She got pretty good at climbing it.




There is a big water thing to play with all sorts of different ways to move the water and catch the water. All of the girls really liked this activity.




Alexiya is a little police officer! There is a little town with a grocery store, house, construction site, farm and gas station. She made sure everyone was following the rules!

Adelyn and Makenley climbing the wall together.





There is a whole news station to play with. I thought it was so cute! The sat down and could see themselves on T.V then there was a weather station where they we standing in front of a green screen so on the T.V. there would be things going on behind them. Pretty fun!








Maycie getting dressed up to do a play on the stage.







Maycie and Lilly building something. There were tons of different things you could build with.








I thought this thing was so fun. Addy loved it. You created a little scene and then took a picture of it, moved the scene, took a picture....get the picture? ( ha ha I am so funny!). When you were done they put it all together to make a movie. Then you could add sound to it.









Putting coins in and watching them roll in and hoping someone didn't grab yours before it was done...that happened a few times!






Yeah for fun filled summer days!!

Wednesday Fun

Wednesday has been a party day at my place for about 4 years now. About 4 years ago my mom and Keli decided it would be a fun idea to come over every Wednesday and play. In the colder months when the pool is not open we play Cities and Knights. I know the reason they started this in the beginning was that they were a little worried that I might lose my mind after having Maycie. My oldest, Adelyn, was 5 when I had my fourth Maycie. So it was a little crazy at my house and I loved the adult time that Wednesday created! We have had so much fun on our Wednesdays and I am so glad they are still willing to come out every week. In the summer Jesse joins us since she is not working..Yeah!! The kids have lots of fun and we get some good swimming and chatting done!! Kenley going down the slide.

Lexi being a diva.
