A week in the life of me as a stay at home Mom...

I had the opportunity to stay home with my kids this week. We had so much fun!! On Wednesday, we went to story time at the Layton Library. They sang songs about funny food and then read 3 stories about food. Olivia was a little nervous but in the end she had fun listening to the stories.







After the library we went to the park. Olivia had so much fun on the slide. Kristen decided to try the big girl swings and ended up getting too daring as usual. She flipped off and ate some dirt.
















Kristen went back to climbing anything and everything after she recovered. She decided to chase the Seagulls which kept her busy for a good 10 minutes.
























On Thursday, we went to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden. My niece Abby went with us. They had fun learning about various cultures, playing with different musical instruments and going down the Treehouse slide again, and again, and again, and again... Here is a picture of Abby in the Mexico kitchen. The girls then pretended to eat Sushi in Kenya.

















Here they are taking turns pretending to teach a class...



















After all of that fun, they build this Choo Choo Train.

















Kristen then took her turn beating other kids off of the Fire Engine. She would not let anyone sit near her and if they tried, she smacked their hands away.

This is a picture of Kayla and Olivia last Easter. They have a good relationship and like to play together (most of the time).



Olivia is always the curious one. She did not want to cooperate when we had their pictures professionally done so we have to give her something to focus on. She has changed so much in 1 year.


Liv is being animated as I take pictures - she loves to have her picture taken!

Look how much she has grown in just over one year! She is climbing anything and everything that she can - we affectionately call her 'monkey' for a reason.


















Her is Kristen climbing the toilet to get on top of the bathroom cupboard. She is probably eying Tom's toothbrush or his Q-tips. These are just two of her favorite toys!!
