Exploding Spud!!

So we were cooking dinner the other night and heard this sound, kinda like someone knocking on our door. Looked out the window, nobody. Then T thought that it came from the oven. Sure enough we look in the oven and the skin blew right off the potato!! I have never seen that happen before. If I didn't have to clean up the mess it left behind it would have been cool. Instead it was just another mess! As if the kids don't make enough of those.

Discovery Gateway

I don't know what the place is called but thats what T calls it. Anywho we spent Martin Luther King day or at least a couple hours of it there. We braved the snow and crappy roads to get there. That was probably a good thing, keept the number of people down. It was pretty fun, it would be even better if I could just sit there with my laptop or a book while the kids played. I haven't been there before, T has taken the kids a few times and they love it. If you go to a SLC library you can get a card that gets a family in for free twice a year. So definitively a place to go for free.

Being a cop!


Grocery shopping


Checking out


Filling up


The tubes suck the balls up and when you open hatch the air comes out and cody made the same face everytime. Like he wasn't expecting the air. The loved it!




The house




A fun family day!!

Juno

We went and watched Juno this weekend. We don't get out to many movies, to much work trying to get someone to watch the kids, find the time and the money. But we loved this flick. The row in front of us was a bunch of old ladies, it was kinda funny. There were some sexual jokes and we weren't sure if they understood them or if they thought it was funny or not. I tried to talk T into asking them if they liked it but she wouldn't. Anyway thumbs up from us for Juno.

Day at the Capital

We didn't spend a full day but an hour or two wondering the halls. It was really kinda net to see all the rooms you normally don't get to see. Behind both the house and senate rooms they have a small lounge room with chairs, sofas and a tv. They did have some rooms that were still off limits like the Governors office office, he has two, one for show and one where the real work is done. We visited the "Gold Room" didn't even know this existed, its a room worth over $2 million. I don't think they even use it, it's old furniture and just really too fancy to do much of anything. Cody liked that he could hear his echo and walked the halls yelling. Bryten and Cody liked stepping on the bubbles in the plastic on the floor, it kept Cody on the plastic. I tried to get a picture of Bryten at a legislative desk but the volunteer got upset and told us we couldn't sit there. What's a three year old girl going to do?

We didn't even have to set this picture up. He just went and sat down.






Still working


This was after the lady got mad at us for sitting in a chair. T was a little nervous to sit in this one and was only barely there long enough for the picture.


Future Governor


Knocking on the front doors. It was cold out.


The Gold Room and no I do not know that guy staring at my camera


That concludes our afternoon at the Capital

T's B-day/New Years Eve

So it's now 2008. It all goes by way too fast for the most part. News Years eve is Taryns b-day so we have people over and just hang out at home. I did get her some presents but totally forgot the cake and ice cream. Nice huh. We have enough candy in the house I think that should make up for it.

All the girls slept over. I think they fell asleep sometime around 2am and woke up some time around 6am and they were still hyper and running around all over.

Playing some dance dance.
