AHHH - It's Nearly Spring in Utah!

How does that saying go . . . if you don't like the weather in Utah, wait a few hours and it will be different. We had snow at the end of last week and at the end of this week. But in between we had a day or two of beautiful sunny weather that made us dream of spring and summer! We took advantage of every second of warmth we had and played in the yard, in our sandbox, and we even climbed trees. We were not happy when it got dark and cold and time to go in!

Sam decided that he quite liked being in the trees and this picture represents just one of multiple times he was in the trees. This boy has no fear!

We played catch and soccer. And we just simply enjoyed being outside after a very long winter!Ms. Heidi needed a day off this week so mommy stayed home with us and took us to the Dinosaur Museum. We truly can never get enough of this place. Surprisingly there were tons of people at the museum on a weekday morning. But we persevered and got to do all the fun things we hoped to do. This is one of our favorite exhibits at the museum - these are the super dooper giant dinos. So cool!Mommy even put on her brave face and let us play at the sand/water tables for about 30 minutes . . . with ALLLLLL the other kids. Mommy said she had an interesting time people watching. It was loud and there were lots of people - but we had a GREAT time!

We even got to spend some time in the quarry digging for bones. Just one more part of the museum we never get tired of.

It was great to have a day with mom and the dinos!
And then this is how we spent Friday night. Is this fair . . . . does anyone care? Yes - that is mom sitting at the bar eating a Subway sandwich and reading while Sam does the dishes. Hum!We found a fun new thing to do - Play-doh! We spent more than a few minutes getting our hands dirty with play-doh this week. Sam is old enough now to not try to eat it so instead we made people and pretend food and lots of fun shapes with it.
And we love fixing things. This is my remote control car that Santa brought me this year. It needed new batteries . . . . again. But we're pros at using tools so we got it up and running without any sweat.Sam Alert: Howdy! A little sun and warm weather does a body good. Here are a few pictures of me from this week for your viewing enjoyment. Daddy was in charge of combing my hair after my bath tonight. Can you say mohawk? Actually, can you say double mohawk - nothing like having a mirror at your back so you can see all sides of a great head of hair. Dad and mom are glad that I'm finally brushing my teeth all by myself now. Gotta take good care of the ol' chompers! And there are really two important things of note in this picture . . . #1- I'm hiding. Remember if I can't see you, you can't see me. #2- This is my favorite way to "sit" in the bar stool. It makes mommy crazy so of course I do it every chance I get!
