The most major item would have to be the visit of my mom, aunt and Grandma. They were down for almost a week and we packed every day. We went to Thanksgiving Point Gardens AND Dinosaur museum in one day! We ran some Utah errands and hit the fabric store. My mom wanted a "project" to keep them busy so we decided to do quilts for Abby and Isabel. I have had the pattern since before Christmas but never got around to doing it myself. I got the free pattern here: http://www.byannie.com/free_patterns.html It is called "wickedly easy" although we found it a bit challenging. It was fun and we got both tops almost done before they left. I am getting them machine quilted, but I will post pics when I get them done. I picked a bunch of different fabrics with a butterfly\dragonfly\vine theme, to match their room. Their backs will be different colors so they know which one is their own.
(this is off the website, ours are purple, pink, yellow, blue and green)We also took a ride on the Heber Creeper, which is an old train that goes up and down Provo Canyon. Unfortunately there was a slide and we didn't even go half-way down! We were kinda bummed, but it was fun anyways. Perhaps we'll go back another time.
The girls had a great time being spoiled by all the grandmas, and I think the grandmas liked being adored by three little girls they rarely get to see. My grandma turns 95 in September but has always been a world traveler, so we are so glad she got to come down and see our home and the girls.Another exciting event was that with the free, live-in babysitters, Scott and i slipped away on a Wednesday night to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary. We went to the Johnson Mill B&B in Midway. It was amazing. We had a waterfall right outside our room, a fireplace, free cookies, hot chocolate, popcorn, movies. They also have a little lake with a canoe we paddled around in. Everything was so nice and the breakfast was delicious, German pancakes with peaches and cream. Yum! We would love to go there again some time! 
Now we are back to normal, working on our yard and other fun stuff like that. Our chickens are getting a coop built as we type. They are now 5 weeks old and have almost all their feathers. We have let them out in the yard on the warm days, but only under supervision cuz the neighbor's cat seems to like them! It is definite that 2 of them turned out to be roosters, so after that first crow I am sorry to say they will disappear. Their name is Dinner already and the girls know all about it and don't seem to concerned. Isabel's fish, "Fisha," died last week and she was pretty excited to flush him. Luckily he was just a $2 Betta, so we might get another one soon.
Otherwise nothing else to report. We are all pretty healthy and happy and hope you all are too!
