Daycare Ducklings...

Here is the funnest story of a momma duck, who chose Cole's daycare to lay her eggs, so random. His daycare is in an older neighborhood but there are lots of houses. That momma duck must have decided she needed an audience for her new family to arrive. We had so much fun watching and waiting for the babies to come.

The timeline is out of order. Sorry you have to start at the bottom and skip around.








5-...and then momma duck leads them into the pond.
Perfect ending to the story.



3-Lindsey (the daycare lady) puts them in a box lets all the daycare kidos see them and then walks them down the street a little ways with the momma duck following her, (i love this part it is fun to picture it) to a neighbors house with a little land and water. (daycare was scared they wouldn't survive at there house) ...

4-She lets them go and the momma leads them out into the field...

2-The eggs hatch three or so weeks later. So stinking cute.

1-The Momma duck lays her eggs right outside of daycare' s front window in there flower bed. We watched her make a nest and then it took her days to actually lay the eggs, there were 9 or 10 or so.

More Utah Fun...

Next we went to the Copper Mine. We told the kids we were going to see a giant hole in the ground. When we got there Cole ran up and pointed straight down at this hole and said "Is this the giant hole, Mom?"


We loved these giant mining trucks, the regular trucks looked so small next to them.

This was the whole clan of kids.

Our Fun Weekend in Utah

Dustin, the kids, and I loaded up the car and headed to Utah for the weekend. We had so much fun, we stayed with a good friend of mine from high school. She is the host-es with the most-es, every time we stay with her and her family they pack our time with tons of fun things to do...

Thanksgiving Point-Dinosaur Museum Dustin and Cole pose with the shark (after taking 5 minutes to explain to Cole that the it was not real)...

Dustin and Lexi dig at the Dinosaur Museum- They made a trench, a dam, and then let it all rush out, they played forever in the sand and water.

Cole just liked the fact that he could put his hand in the sand and make a mess.

Thanksgiving Point-Farm City we checked out all the animals, including little tiny baby goats, the kids got a pony ride, they both said this was the favorite part of the day.

The "Hanger Dance"

Sweet Dance Moves...

Cole came to work with me before we opened the other day(explaining the severe bed head) he got a little bored and decided to put on a show for me and my assistant, we got him on film, here is the evidence. Two things to notice, these moves aren't even to music and that is a clothing hanger he is using for a prop. (to many years in retail i guess)

More Great Mothers

Great Mothers

My kids count on so many great mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and friends to love them and help take care of them. And to tell you the truth so do I. I just wanted to show off a few (the few I actually have pictures of). There are so many "moms" that we love and need. Hugs and Kisses. Happy Mothers Day!

Handmade Fishing Poles

Cole frequently brings me two things to tie together to make him a fishing pole. The stuff comes from all over, well today as i was cleaning i found it funny that there were make-shift fishing poles all over the house. He doesn't get to tricky, most of them are pretty simple. My favorite is the 2inch string with a pink thumbtack tied to it, or maybe the bow-n-arrow pole with a purple beaded necklace wrapped around the end of it. Cole your crazy!
