Talented Mommy...

My mom made the kids these cute hats and jackets. They got them for Easter and we have enjoyed wearing them this spring. The girls look darling in them and Cole loves his cute little hat.




Cole's hat is reversable.

If only...

If only I lived in St. George! I just know I would be more fit and tanner and skinnier. Don't you feel that way when you go there. Just arriving in Red Rock country makes me want to hop on a mountain bike, strap on my hiking shoes and spend time in my swimsuit. I LOVE it there. Would love to live there. Adam's mother lives there and we had a blast spending a few days there a few weeks ago.

Adam was there to help his mother with a project so the kids and I hit the town and did as much playing as possible. We hit the red rocks above St. George Blvd. We love to hike around these. They are mild enough for little ones, yet you get a bit of adventure in.




Don't know who that extra kid is in the middle. He just really wanted to be in our picture.

There are lots of little caves and crevices to find here. We always search for "Jesus's tomb" and the Cave of Wonders. (My kids have named these special places we search for - its like a real live Where's Waldo hunt.)







Love all the splash parks. The one in the middle of town is our favorite. We buy little boats and float them down the river.










That looks very comfortable.

Ambra got glasses!!!

Its her destiny. Daddy's practically blind, and I'm in the four eyes club too. Adam got glasses in third grade, me in seventh, so we weren't surprised when Ambra needed them in the first (we were only hoping to stretch it out a bit longer). She is very excited to have them and to be able to see without squinting.

This pair, we wear for soccer and whenever else she wants to. They are wire rimmed with pink.





These are more of her everyday glasses. She loves these. They are a burgandy brown on the outside with hotpink on the inside. They have little flowers engraved on the sides too. Super cute.


We think she looks darling.

My Idea of Insanity...

So my idea of insanity is spending $40 plus on a stuffed animal. No way, no how! I can definitely think of 2 million other more efficient and productive ways of spending $40.

But alas, my beautiful Ambra is dying to have a Build A Bear experience. Of course I would never foot this ridiculous bill alone so I told her if she saved $20 I would buy the rest (how much can one of these be anyway? I was thinking around $30.)

Saving $20 came alot sooner than I expected (thanks grandma) - and off to the mall we went (she actually saved $25).

She had a blast choosing her bear and all the things that went with it.




She ended up choosing a pink bunny.


Named her Violet...


chose an overpriced fairy costume...



and of course sprung for the sunglasses and shoes.

















What a cutie. I'm glad she was able to make a goal and save for something. She is now saving for all the garage saleing we do this summer.
P.S. - (The total definitely came closer to $40 than $30).
