A week with Aunt Vicki, and a really long post!

The week of March 28th, the girls were on Spring Break and Aunt Vicki came to spend the week with us. So, thanks to my Library Adventure Pass, we had lots of fun things planned. Tuesday we went to Dinosaur Ridge, it is a spot where they have found lots of Dinosaur bones and tracks on the mountain, so we took a little bus ride around and got to see lots of cool things!

That darker spot on the rock behind Mia is a dinosaur bone

Then on Wednesday we went to the Wildlife Experience which is just a small museum about wildlife, but they had this cool exhibit on frogs that usually isn't there, so we really liked the frogs!

Then on Thursday I got tickets for Ariana, Tycee, Vicki and I for Disney on Ice. It was the Princess Classics. The girls had a lot of fun and absolutely loved it!! Ariana said to me after, that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity!! Unfortunately for us poor people it kindof is! We usually can't afford stuff like this, but I am glad we were able to this time.

These were our seats! Second row on the lower level!!

Friday we went for a hike, and you can see more about this day in the next post!!

Saturday was Conference, so we spent the day listening to conference, and making scrapbook pages of our week. Thanks for coming Aunt Vicki!! We had lots of fun!!

April Fools!!

I don't typically do anything for April Fool's, but this year I did, and I have to admit, it was kindof mean, but I had a good laugh!!

I was out for a hike with the girls while Aunt Vicki was in town, and Sal and I had plans to go on a date that night. So Sal let me know that he was home early from work and waiting for me. About a half hour later we were on our way home, and I decided to pull this prank. I sent Sal this text:

"Tycee fell, I think she broke her arm, on the way to the hospital"

Now, let me put in here that I really didn't think he would believe me with it being April Fool's and all, but here are the text's that followed;

Sal: "Oh...Crap!"

I didn't respond

Sal: "I will meet you there"

I still didn't respond

Sal: "Sky Ridge Hospital?"

Me: "ya"

Sal: "call me"

So at this point I was laughing pretty hard, and I was just going to have Tycee run in the house and shout "April Fool's" but I was afraid he was really going to take off to the hospital before I got home so I called him and he didn't even say hello, he just said "what happened?!?!" so I had everyone shout in the phone "April Fools!!" He was so mad!!!! He said I was going to have to take him to the hospital cause he was going to kick my butt so hard it was going to break his leg! Then he told Tycee to tell me that he was not laughing!! I apologized, but was still laughing pretty hard!! He did say that at first he didn't really believe me, but because I wasn't responding to him, that I was carrying Tycee or something and couldn't respond so that is when he started to believe it. He did admit later that he would have laughed if he had done it to me!

Treasures

It may just be me, but I think homemade decorations are WAY BETTER than any decoration I can buy in the store!! This little beauty was made by Tycee, with no help at all!!

Mia's day out

I got a free pass to the Wildlife Experience, so Mia and I went, just the two of us, and it was a lot of fun!! She was a little scared at first, there are a lot of animals, and weird noises, but after a while I think she realized that they weren't real, so she liked looking at them. Then, at the end, we got the chance to touch a real snake, I didn't think she would do it, but I guess by then she was over her fears, and she touched it no problem!! It was a lot of fun to go out with just her, I usually try and do things when all of us can go, but I realized I am not going to have her alone all day much longer, so I need to spend a lot of quality time with her, especially with her being my last baby!!
