The Greatest Show on Earth!!

On Sunday we decided to be heathens and Skip church to go to the circus. I don't know what it is about the circus but I Love it. We were able to get there early enough to go down to the floor of the arena for the preshow and loved getting our pictures taken with circus preformers
and seeing the elephants up close. When The show finally started Whitley was literally shaking with excitment. She kept saying "Do you see the pony, elephant,clown etc" She also loved waving to all the animals.
Karden loved the human cannonball and when they made the elephant disapear!
I personally loved there "circus outfits" even if I was the only one. Karden told me mom I will only wear the clown hat for 1 picture. He got a little upset when I snapped two.
On the other hand Gavin thought his was the coolest thing ever!!
Karden had a change of heart and now won't take it off!!

I give up, why do kids want to wear something everyplace, except for when you want them too!!

I Pretty Mommy!!

This is what happens when you leave a 2 year old unattended while you get the 5 year old's hair combed for kindergarten.
How can you get mad at a face like this?
Especially when she was so proud of herself, Whitley kept saying "I pretty Mommy, I pretty!".



Yes Whitley, You are very pretty!!

Labor Day in Logan

We decided to getaway for the Labor Day weekend and ended up in Logan. We swam, Swam, and swam some more. It was great to just get away from the laundry, the floors that desperately need to be mopped and the telemarketers who call constantly!!

We ended up doing quite a bit of shopping and the kids got spoiled by grandma Molly again. Whitley is sporting a princess necklace and bracelet. Grandma is a sucker for princesses! :)


We walked around the Willow Park Zoo (Yes, Logan has a zoo,its tiny, but I will take any chance to go to a zoo!!) and had fun looking at the monkeys, bobcat and antelope. The girls had fun posing for pictures on anything they could find.
The little boys favorite part was the huge mud puddle they found. ( Does Mud Call out to little boys? I think it is puts out a sound that only little boys can hear, sorta like a dog whistle!)

The big boys favorite part was...


Not appropriate for the blog, Sorry Jon and Ryan!! I Don't Think we were ever going to get them away from the turtles!

But everyone had a good time feeding the ducks!!



On the way home we stopped at The Hill Air Force Museum.
It was really quite neat. The Planes are huge!! Karden thought he was the "bomb!"
... sorry I know that wasn't very funny!

The kids got to go in a real army Helicopter,
and sit in a jump seat with Grandpa.

I may be biased, but Tom Cruise has nothing on this "top gun!"


By then we were all "tired" and ready to head home.


...Sorry again not funny-

It was a fun weekend!!
