Princess Tea Party

Yesterday, I go to escort these 2 beautiful Princesses to a Royal Tea Party at the Springville Art Museum. 
They put on their best princess clothes and we headed out for a morning of fun.  

 Waiting for the party to begin. 
All of the Art City Royalty was there and my girls were thrilled to see some real princesses!





 The girls filled out a small paper telling a few thing  about themselves. 

 Tessa, of course, drew a dinosaur on the back of her paper. 
 The first activity was a royal puppet show. Both girls loved it!




 After the show, all the girls got to meet and touch the puppets. 
 Tessa even got to try out the dragon. 
 Next was craft time. Each princess made a craft kit for a boy or girl in the hospital and then they got to make one for themselves. 
 Gwen was lucky enough to get some one on one time with the Art City Queen. Gwen was glued to her side after this. 

 Next was a tour of the Royal Art Gallery. The girls went around and picked out art work that would like to hang in their own castle. Tessa loved this pictures because of all the red, the red hair, and the giant plate of french fries. 


 Next was dancing. This was Gwen's favorite part. She just twirled and twirled....







 Our final activity was some snacks and a fashion show. They made each guest an edible garden. Tessa wouldn't touch any of the food. But she liked how they made a snail out of celery. 

 We finished off our morning with a fashion show. Each girl was escorted in as their little cards were read. We learned each girls name, age, what they liked to do, who their favorite princess was and what they wanted to be when they grow up. 




We had such a fun morning being princesses. Both girls say they can't wait to go again next year!

Food and Football

 Adam is loving football season! He is thrilled that his Cougars are undefeated and  he is so happy when Daddy lets him stay up late on the weekends to watch a game or two. These boys are not quiet when it comes to their football games. We have lots of loud cheering in our house. 
Adam is also eating us out of house and home. You would never expect a boy his size to eat the amount of food that he does. I have no idea how we are going to afford to keep him full when he is a teenager. This was his lunch box earlier in the week. Full to the brim and he proudly reported that he ate every last crumb!

Caleb's Check-Up

Yesterday, Caleb turned 6 weeks old. He was lucky enough to get a check-up from our favorite doctor, Dr. Gwennie. He was a very cooperative patient and we are lucky to have such a good doctor in the house. She sang, "Time for your check-up. Time for your check-up" through her entire examination. These two melt my heart and I love being able to spend my days with them!

Tessa's Underground Habitat

This week for school, Tessa was given the assignment to build an animal habitat and prepare an oral report on an animal that lives in that habitat. She chose to do an underground habitat and highlight the Deathstalker Scorpion. She and Daddy worked on her habitat and report together. Tessa came up with almost all the ideas for making her habitat and it turned out great! She has been blessed with a very creative mind! She practiced her report several times for us and is all ready to do her presentation for her classmates. She is very proud of her work!
