Our fun weekend....

First I would like to say Happy Father's Day to Ben! The girls have the best dad, and I have the Best Husband! ....the picture was a few weeks ago at the park. Ben was teaching Charley how to pump her legs on the swing. We love him tons!
Second...Gabby is turning into quite the Miss. Independent! Above, she insisted on wearing her sweater backwards. I pick my battles with this little girl, and that was one she won!
Sometimes she is so stinkin' persistent that she is not going to take a nap, even though I know she is tired....for the most part she takes naps great every day, but this day, she was not going to! I finally found her knocked out on the stairs....I guess going up to her bed was too much work!
The new swim suits Schramma got the girls! We've been breaking them in for when we go to the beach this summer!
These are totally my girls....they know how to lay out!!!....
This past weekend our good friends the Albas came to visit!!!....Micah was coming to Utah to work and recruit at a football camp in Bountiful....Micah coaches football at Fresno State. But since he was coming up to Utah, the whole family decided to come up! And we were so excited that they wanted to stay with us! We took a quick trip to the Dinosaur Museum. ....it wasn't just Charley wanting to go this time....the boys wanted to go as well...but Charley was not opposed to going! She was all for it!
We also took them to the Splash Pad in Alpine. This was our second trip there...it is a cute little water park for kids. Our other friends Annie and her two kids came too. And since our husbands work just a few blocks away (Annie and I's husbands), they met us for a picnic lunch at the park. And Alisha and her girls came up a little later as well. We were there all morning and part of the afternoon! We thought it would knock them out, but we came home and rode bikes and scooters until dinner. Lucky us the kids went right to bed that night, and Ben stayed home with the kids while Wendy and I went to look at a few parade of home homes. Thanks Ben!!!
The next morning we decided to take the kids to the Animal Farm. We were going to just make it a quick trip since they were going to drive home that afternoon. But when we got there, it was a special Dairy Day's at the Animal Farm. They had a bunch of games the kids could play, they won prizes, and had extra little rides, and free drinks and Popsicles....in addition to the pony rides and wagon rides. Our quick trip turned into a 2 hour adventure. We hurried home and ate lunch before they headed out back to California.

**Another little side note on Gabby....if you look at the shirt she is wearing....you may see a little bit of Elmo poking through. No people, she does not own an Elmo shirt...but she does own Elmo PJ's. And YES, those would be her PJ's. I managed to get her bottoms off because I changed her diaper...but she was not going to allow me to take her shirt off. So, she won again, and she wore her Elmo PJ shirt to the animal farm.

***Side note #2....since I am past my first trimester, I guess it is safe to start telling people...Baby #3 is due December 25th!
