The Living Planet Aquarium

The Sandgren Clan spent a day together up at the aquarium. Isaac just loved it. He has such a love for all types of animals that he was in heaven. The only creature he had a hard time looking at was the giant lobster. Give him a shark, but don't even put a lobster in front of him! I had a hard time looking at the anaconda and the spiders. The octopus was very cool to see move around. It was super fun to be with the family.

Crazy Utah Weather!

At the beginning of the week we enjoyed a sunny day playing hopscotch:



By the end of the week it looked like this:

Easter Fun

Easter Sunday was a wonderful day for us. Our ward choir sang a beautiful Easter cantata which I accompanied. My father joined as a soloist and did a wonderful job. Thanks dad, it was really great! The message of Christ's atonement, death and resurrection was so strong. Christ is Risen! He lives!
After church we went to Tim's parents for a yummy dinner and Easter egg hunt! The kids really enjoyed it and Tim's mom even hid a basket for Tim and I to find.

Dying Eggs

New Beds!

Thanks to Uncle Sam we decided to get the kids bunk beds. Isaac and Hailey absolutely love them. It also cleared up so much space in their room.

Another Insight by Isaac

My sister-in-law Des had a baby back in February. With a new baby here to enjoy come a lot of questions from Isaac. The question he has been asking about lately is how Jack eats. Des watched my kids while I had to work and Isaac noticed that her freezer was packed full of milk. She told me that he started asking about where it came from and she tried to avoid it and let me handle it. I've been trying to avoid it all with him, but couldn't think of a logical reason why he shouldn't know.
So on the way home he mentioned all the milk that was in their freezer. I then proceeded to tell him how babies eat and where they get it. He then started comparing women to cows, dogs, cats and pigs. I figured that it was a great way for him to understand! We were almost home and I asked him if he had any more questions about how babies eat. Here is how it played out;
(mom)"Isaac do you have any more questions about how baby Jack eats?"
(Isaac)"Well, I do have a question, but I don't think you'll be able to answer."
(mom)"Just ask and I'll try."
At this point I was getting worried that he was going to pull out "how are babies made, born?"
(Isaac)"Do you have any clue how cars are made?"

I couldn't help but laugh and breathe a huge sigh of relief!

Ice Skating

Tim had a day off of work so we went ice skating. Hailey loved her skates but didn't want to try the ice. Isaac did really well. Tim and I didn't get as much time on the ice as we would have like because the kids were being pills. Next time it will be just Tim and I.




Turkey Time!

My mom came over to my house today to instruct me on the art of cooking a turkey. I was given a turkey a while ago and decided to unthaw and cook that darn thing. I've never done this before and can't thank my mom enough for teaching me her mad skills and taking some fun pics!

Look Mom I Can Fly!

Each Saturday Tim fluffs our big pillow. After that chore is completed he treats the kids by making them fly. The pictures may not be all that great, but you get the idea. It makes me want to be small enough to get thrown like that!!!

I Done Got Tagged!

6th pic in my 6th folder!


This pic was taken at dinner time. I had left my jacket draped over the chair and Isaac thought it would be fun to wear my jacket while still on the chair. I have to admit that it turned out pretty funny.

I tag Jessica, Nancy, Jenny, Cherilyn and Gill!

New Church Clothes

Isaac and Hailey were in desperate need for new church clothes. They both love them and I had to post how cute they are!

My First Time Skiing!

Tim and I took a Saturday and went to Sundance for my first skiing experience. I had sooo much fun! I only fell 14 times!! It was the perfect day to ski. My legs were hurting so bad by the end of the day, but it was worth it.
