Tree House Museum

This past week my baby sister turned a WHOPPING 23 years old!  So, we decided to celebrate by taking the kiddos to the tree house museum.  I had never been there before, but it really was a lot of fun!  Jack only got in one fist fight (which he won, but that's a minor detail we are not celebrating), so overall it was a successful couple of hours. 

Here's my little guy milking a cow.  I'm glad he got to do this since the other day he asked me if I thought he was going to be a farmer when he grows up.  I told him I wasn't sure and he said that if he is he wants us to build a farmhouse just like Grandpa Boyd and Grandma Mary's.  He's pretty cute!  My favorite parts of that statement is the fact that right now he still pictures himself living with Dad and Mom when he's all grown up.  So sweet!

Ella is a hard girl to capture in pictures these days since she's walking all over the place and super busy.  She loved the museum, especially the fish tank and a little bridge that she kept climbing up and sliding down.  She is such a trooper when we have busy, on the go days.  This particular day she only napped 20 minutes in the car the entire day.  That night we went to the ward talent show that the Primary Presidency I'm in was in charge of, so she didn't even get to bed until 10:30 at night.  A lot of kids would fall apart in this scenario, but she just copes and continues to be relatively pleasant to be around.  Don't worry though, most days we stay home and give her a nice baby routine :)

Jack is really into castles and knights lately so he loved playing with this toy set up.  He gets kind of an intense angry face when he imagines sometimes.  It's pretty funny.  He wasn't feeling super great.  His eyes were a little bloodshot, but I thought it was since he had been up at night coughing.  The next day they were bright red so I took him to the doctor for some eye drops.  I apologize to any kids at the museum that we may have given pink eye.  It's only fair really though since I'm pretty sure he contracted it from Kangaroo Zoo.

Jack, his cousin Brody, and Grandma Mary.  These boys sure love their Grandma!  She is always willing to listen to them,  read them a book, or try to teach them something new.  It's awesome because sometimes (or a lot of times) as a mother, I'm all talked out.  It's great to have Grandparents who love our kids and help us raise them!
