Treehouse Museum

While mom and Tracy were here we hit up the tree house museum. I had never been but knew of people who had so we decided to check it out. Its a little pricey but we went in the morning on Monday so it was a lot cheaper. The kids had a blast of course, there was so much to do, they had train tracks, a train you could crawl threw a bridge a giant tree you could go up and down, different houses like a China house (which of course Tana had to go in), a Germany house, a school house etc, music room, the oval office, a giant map of the united states, and they were building more. There was a lot to see and just two hours to do it. Jayden especially loved to trivia on the big map and brushing the giant teeth. Madyson liked the babies and the cribs they had for them and Payton was just happy to have a ton of room to crawl!


Madyson playing the drums in the music room (it was extra loud in there)

Jayden sitting in the oval office with Obama by his side (I took one of Madyson too but it won't let me upload it but you get the idea)



The tree house has so much cool stuff I would recommend going! We went during toddler time (it was cheaper) and they sang songs, did story time, made a craft and had time to run free!


Jayden loves to play tea and he found the tea set right away in peter rabbits house. Jayden and Payton loved the train stuff but Payton didn't like the conductors hat it took like 25 pictures to get that one of him. And the big fire truck right when you walked in was a big hit too.

The Hogle Zoo

My mom and sister in-law Tracy and hooch all came out to visit in July. We had a lot of stuff planned so we could show them a good time. We went to the zoo, the tree house museum, the Roy pool and to BYU to see Tracy's friend. The first stop was the zoo, the kids had so much fun exploring and looking at all the animals! In one of the pictures Madyson looks like a tourist with her map out trying to figure out where to go next! Her and Landon spent a lot of time studying those maps! Thanks mom for such a good time!

4th of July

Okay, okay i know it is almost a month late but its here at least! We didn't do much for the 4th, James worked and i trued to entertain the kids all day long. I went to dollar tree and bought them monster snaps and glow sticks. We walked over to our friends and neighbors house to watch them do fire works and wear our cool glow sticks. Jayden and Madyson had so much fun throwing the snaps on the ground. Madyson had to use her feet to stomp on them to make them snap, but she loved it! Right before we left to head over to our friends Payton fell down the stairs and was not feeling up to the fireworks so James took him back home after only a couple minutes. Jayden and Madyson also got to do sparklers which scared me a little because I knew Jayden would get burned and after 2 sparklers he did just that and freaked out!
Fourth of July! Stomping on their monster snaps
Me & my Ma-Ma

It's no wonder why Jayden got burnt he was flinging that thing around like crazy




The glow sticks!
We had a great time regardless of the stairs incident and the burn and we are so grateful to have such good friends and neighbors
