Treehouse museum

A couple weeks ago, I met my sister Haley in Ogden and took the kids to the Treehouse museum. For those of you who live in northern Utah and have never taken your kids there, I highly suggest it. There is a ton to do and will keep your kids busy for hours. When we first got there, my kids got a little overwhelmed by it. They would play with something for about 30 seconds then go running to the next thing. I finally convinced them that we would be there for a while so there was plenty of time to see everything they wanted to see. Here are a few of the highlights.

After we dragged the kids away from the childrens museum, we decided to drive down to Farmington and surprise my Grandpa Chamberlain with a visit. We had a great visit with him and he shared some great advice with me about being prepared for tough times. For those of you who know my Grandpa, he is very serious about food storage and being self reliant. It has been one year since my Grandma passed away, so we went to the cemetery and brought some flowers to put on her grave. My grandma was such a wonderful, compassionate, funny woman whom I have always looked up to and wish to be like. I miss her dearly.

Our latest adventure

My genius husband has always wanted to own his own business. So we recently decided to start with something small. We bought a couple of inflatable bouncehouses and will be renting them out for birthday parties, family events, block parties, etc. We set one of them up last weekend at my parent's house in St. George, and the kids played in there for hours. It made a great babysitter. This picture is the combo bouncehouse. It has a big bouncy area with a basketball hoop, and then an area you climb up and go down a big slide. We are very excited to get this going. If anybody is interested, Our website is http://www.sillygooseinflatables.com Check it out everybody.

I love Spring time in St. George!

Last weekend we took a much needed trip down to St. George. My cousin, Zach, got married to one of Becca's good friends, Janae McGary, who grew up across the street from us. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me at the temple or the reception, so I can't post any wedding pictures on here. We had such a fun time with family, and it was great to see extended family and friends that we hadn't seen in a while. Drew and I brought one of our bouncehouses for the kids to play in. They spent hours in there, it was great fun! Grandma put together a fun easter egg hunt for the kids. Ethan actually really got into finding the eggs this year. Blake was more interested in eating the candy out of the eggs before moving on to find more. We also go to go visit some good friends of ours, the Bice's and went to church with them. The weekend went by much too fast though. We came home to snow on the ground. No fun! I'll be glad I don't live in St. George come this summer though. Maybe our St.George family and friends will finally come visit us for a change, hint, hint :)
