Gardner Village

It's tradition to hit up Gardner Village this time of year.  There are lots of fun things for the kids to see and do. And I couldn't have asked for a better friend to join me then Mrs. Jaclynn and Tayvee.  We had a great time!

 

Cute cute friends.

Let the Feeding Begin...

Our Monday FHE entertainment was definitely Rowan.  We decided to start feeding some solids to her a few weeks before reaching the 6 month mark, after all, she is pretty skinny and needs to gain some weight.  It was fun to have Paisley so excited to be my little helper and feed her.  After each bite I gave Rowan, she would say, "Ok Mom, my turn to feed her now!"  Noah didn't get too excited and eventually went back to playing with his Iron Man.  

Hmm... what is this stuff?

 Oh Gross, what the...get it away!

 Mom, what are you doing to me?  Help!!

 Ok, maybe I like it, here why don't I help you insert the spoon.

 More, more, more...

 That was good.  Thank you for the introduction.  I look forward to much more.

Ummm...I think you have a little something on your face...

 This little butter ball had to head straight to the bath after such a clean feeding.

Carrots were a hit...obviously.

Barbie Excitement.

The girls got to have a little "Barbie Movie Party" on my bed the other night.

 Hooray!  Lets start the movie!

 Oh wait...we better do some poses, take more some pics of us please.

Popcorn, sugar cookies, and Barbie Princess Charm School makes for a fun night for a bunch of girly girls!

Hemming St. George Getaway...

We did lots of swimming at the house, the kids couldn't get enough of it!

We visited Alexis's cousin Tia (who is a sister Missionary at the Temple Visitor's Center), and took a tour.  It had been a while since I had done it, it was fun to do with the kids...

Rowan was all smiles...except for in the picture above...hehe.

We went to Zions, hiked the Narrows, and ate at a great little Mexican Restaurant there.  Lots of fun!

Have I mentioned before that Noah LOVES his sunglasses?  He wears them non stop, it is hilarious.  I even caught him sleeping with them on a few times this trip.  He is a funny kid.

 This arch in the rock behind my cute boys was so pretty!

 The squirrels were extra friendly!

 We saw "Grease" at Tuacahn.  It was fabulous!  Love love loved it!

It was such a great trip!  I hope we can repeat it next year!
