We bought a new car! I NEVER thought I’d lust after a mini van but I have for awhile. Our little Accord barely facilitates the two car seats now, and we have to scoot the seat up pretty far to fit them. Pretty soon we’ll need two of the big carseats. Dad has also been having to find his own way home from SLC a lot so we thought we better have two running cars (the truck is an around-town car only). So we took the plunge into mini-vandom. We did lots of looking up north and randomly found our perfect car in St. George! It was a long day doing the test driving and paperwork so once it was all said and done we went to the splash pad! It wasn’t too hot down there yet so we had a great time. You’re both still afraid of the actual splash pad but you both love the waterfall and running river. It wasn’t long before Lyla spotted the Carousel. I swear you remembered from the last time we came. We let you ride this time Lottie! You wanted your own horse until it started moving but then you only wanted to be clinging to me for dear life. It was still fun for you though once you got used to it. The whole trip was lots o fun!

Tradition: Lamby Visit 2012
When the last snow falls and green life starts popping up, I get excited for our annual visit the baby lambs. There’s nothing like doing traditions with you two that my mom used to do with me. They didn’t bring lambs to the land across the street this year, but a field less than a mile away had some so one day when Dad was home, we went and visited them. Lyla, you got so excited to see them. You would gasp and say “awe cute” at the baby lambs. You’d also point out the mommy and daddy lambs. Charlotte was sleeping this trip but We visited the lambs a few other times after that because you both loved them. You pointed and squawked to tell use that you were taking in those little furry creatures. There’s few things cuter than a brand new baby lamb. A field just down from our church had a bunch so we stopped there a few times.
