My Day....

So today when I was in the shower Ty suddenly starts screaming and crying. I yelled to Laney to tell what was going on. She told me that Ty fell and hurts his foot. I asked if he was bleeding and if he was okay and she said he was not bleeding and seemed okay. I hurried out of the shower and he had calmed down a little. I figured he was fine since he always gets hurt but is okay. He was walking fine but kept telling me "ow" and pointing to his foot. He wanted me to carry him but he really did walk around.
After his nap, he would not walk at all and kept saying "ow" and whimpering. He sat on the couch for an hour after he woke and just played....which is not like him. Normally he's everywhere. When Ben came home he looked at his foot and looked stuff up on WebMD and finally concluded that he probably stubbed his foot pretty good. Ben wrapped up the toe with the one next to it and now he's limping around. Poor little guy.
We also signed the papers to do a lease to own on a townhouse.....argh! It's a little scary being old and responsible. But now we are just waiting for the lady who owns the house to sign it too and then we'll be moving in to our new place on April 1st. It's all very exciting though.

Antelope Island

Yesterday we went out to Antelope Island to see if we could see some buffalo and other animals. We stopped at the Fielding Garr Farm, which is from 1848, where there was some cool old farm equipment and this old truck that was awesome. I tried to get some pictures of the kids. I love this one of Laney. What a cutie!

Here's Ty looking at the truck. Handsome feller!





Just a cool tree that we found.

So we were walking on the beach and we found at least three separate tracks that looked like this. So we took a picture so we could look up when we came home so what kind of animal it was. We know what it was now. Do you?

We saw at least 20 buffalo pretty close up and we were really excited. We also saw an antelope and a couple of jackrabbits. When we drove over to Fielding Garr Farm we saw hundreds of buffalo up on the mountain side. If you click on the picture you can see a bunch of little black dots....that was only some of them. We couldn't drive any closer and we didn't want to walk because it had started snowing when we were throwing rocks at the beach. But it looked really cool to see all those buffalo from far away.

Utah Museum of Natural History

Today we went to the Utah Museum of Natural History because every first Monday of the month it's free. The kids had a great time. Laney is digging for dinosaur bones...
...while Ty was throwing the sand around.
They had different kinds of rocks, animals that live in Utah, and dinosaurs that have been found in Utah. They had a 3D map and when you put the glasses on you could see the mountains pop out at you. Laney and Ty loved it so much that Ty threw a fit when he had to put the glasses back.
Laney took this picture of the skull of a T-rex.
Laney's big cheeser in front of the deer.

Herding Cows Through Morgan

We went for a drive up to Morgan, Utah a couple of Saturdays ago because we knew they were hiring a pharmacist up there. We were driving around and suddenly two cars stopped in front of us and then turned around. Then we saw it....there were several cowboys on horses and hundreds of cows just walking down state street. It was awesome. We sat there for several minutes and waited and just watched.

Sorry the picture is kind of bad because I had to take the picture through the window.

Happy Valentine's Day

Laney had to bring Valentines for everybody in her little pre-school....33 kids!!! So we did cute little butterfly valentines and the kids had to write their own name on them. I thought Laney would write about 3 and then get sick of it. But she did around 20 of them in one sitting and then I made her take a break. Later that day she did the rest of them. I was so proud of her. What a big girl. Here she is with her loot from Valentine's Day.

Of course I had to give Ty some little Valentine treats so he didn't feel left out.

Slobbery boy!!!

Put Them in the Dryer...

Laney and Ty love to play with water. They would wash the dishes several times a day if it was up to them. The only problem is that Ty gets really wet and we have to change his shirt and onesie every time....

...so I decided to put him in the dryer instead...

...of course Laney wanted to get in there as well.

Playing in the Snow

This was after one of the snowstorms, Laney and Ty wanted to go out and play. They played for a while and then Ty walked over to the fence, plopped down and started eating the snow….Laney told him to only eat the clean snow. Well, when Ty sits down in the snow he can’t get back up and he won’t wear gloves so I had to tiptoe out in the snow and help the feller back up. Laney tried but he was just to heavy she said.

After they came back inside, they cuddled up and watched a movie with they blankets and pillows. I was doing something else and suddenly I noticed that it was really quite. This is how I found them.
