A Day Out With Thomas

Last Saturday we went to A Day Out with Thomas at the Heber Valley Railroad in Heber City. The kids had a lot of fun. Maddie was more excited to see Thomas than Max was. She was riding on the train talking to everything we went by. "Hi, cows.....Bye, cows see ya later!", "Hi river.....bye river, see ya later" etc. It was really cute.




Max's favorite part was being able to play with all the engines and tracks in the discovery zone.


We got to see Thomas close up and Sir Topham Hat from a distance (we didn't want to wait in line)



It was a cold day for May but the kids had a lot of fun. They love Thomas!



When we left we decided to take the back way to see if we could see Thomas out on the tracks. As we got to a railroad crossing we looked over and he was right there. Bret hopped out to get a picture. The kids were so excited to see him cross right in front of our car.

New Swing Set

We bought a swing set a few weeks ago. I got pictures of it being put together put I never got one of the finished set. So yesterday I got some when I was trying out the new camera and I wanted to post them all together. The kids love to play outside and we thought it would be fun for them to have a swing set. They love it, the only problem with it is getting them to come inside. They also had a lot of fun "helping" put it together.

Sold a Tooth, Bought a Camera

I can't believe our little boy is old enough to start losing his baby teeth. We discovered it was loose when he came upstairs one day and said, " I think I need a new tooth." When we asked him why he said, "This tooth is wobbly, I need a tooth that will hold still." A few days later the tooth fell out. We told him he needed to put it under his pillow and the tooth fairy would come when he was asleep and take his tooth and give him money. The next morning when he found the money, we asked him wear he got it and all he would say was that he knew where he got it. When we told him it was the tooth fairy he said that it wasn't. I think that he knew it was from us but he didn't want to tell us that he knew it was us because he was trying to humor us. We couldn't convince him that the money was from the tooth fairy.


We got our new camera today! I am very excited to have a camera again.

Hiking Trip

OK. I am seriously behind on my blogging. When I do have had time to sit down at my computer I have been scrapbooking. I found some pictures from 2003 and 2004 that got put in the wrong folder and didn't get scrapped. I want to get them done so that I can get some albums printed. Another reason for the lull in blogging is that I have been without a camera.

Bret, my brother Ben, and one of his friends, went on a little trip the first week in May. They spend the weekend hiking in the San Rafael Swell in Southern Utah. On Saturday, they found a great spot for a picture and Bret set our camera up on a rock so they could take a group shot. Well, some how the camera ended up tumbling down the canyon . Bret was able to retrieve the camera and tried fixing it but it was a lost cause. The good news is that they had a great time and the camera incident was at the end of the trip so he got some great pictures. Our new camera has been ordered and shipped and we can't wait to get it .
