So I've been on the road for about 9 days with about 9 days to go. I'm missing Jenn and the girls really bad. I love playing music for a living, but it is a really, really hard thing to be away from my sweet girls. I come to this blog each day to see their cute faces. Jenn sends me picture txt's as well so I can keep up. But nothing is the same as being with the people you love.
Keeley came into town yesterday. She called when they were leaving the airport. She hadn't met Lily yet and could not wait until Thursday to see them. I wish I could say it was me she couldn't wait to see, but I understand. Once you have kids you are always the last to get a hi and a hug. Can't wait to hang out with you on Thursday Keeley Jo!
I, probably like most parents, check on my kids before I go to bed every night. A couple of nights ago I went to check on them and this is how I found Lily. Talk about uncomfortable. I have the most wiggly sleepers.
Ayla is getting excited to start school this week. Yesterday she had found her backpack that we bought a couple of weeks ago. She noticed that I had put her crayons and markers in there for school. Then she noticed that I had written her name on her backpack. She thought that was so cool. She then went on to say that I needed to get a backpack so I could go to school. I told her that I didn't really want to go to school and that she could go instead. She said, "Mommy, no! You need to get a backpack and write Ayla.....um....Mommy Olsen on it and go to school." She cracks me up. Gotta love 3-year-olds.
We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden with the other cousins. It is pretty cool. They also have a ton of gems and minerals on display and where they came from. They also have a little playground outside and a pathway where you can learn different dinosaurs. It was pretty fun, until Ayla decided to run off and get lost. Completely freaked me out for about a minute, but one minute too long. Needless to say, we left right after I found her. 
Lily tuckered out. I had laid her down and immediately she put her feet up like this. Made me laugh.
Ayla my little cave woman.
Riding some type of dinosaur. Wish I could tell you which one. Guess someone didn't learn a lot that day.
Playing on the toys.
Unearthing some fake fossils in the sand.
On the 4th Heather, Jake and Hunter came down to visit and we went to Hogle Zoo and to eat afterwards. We thought the kids would enjoy the animals more, but they just really wanted to run around.

Ayla taking pics again. She always has a hard time moving her fingers out of the way.
Lily just couldn't take it and ended up falling asleep. Too cute.

I figured I was better get working on my blog or I might have a year's worth to do before I knew it. We took Ayla to the park the other day to get some pics of her. We haven't edited them at all, but here they are. We took some of Lily as well. Don't mind the messy hair. If anything, this would be a true pic of Ayla. I have such a hard time getting her hair done most days and then it just ends up being a mess after her nap anyway.
