My little Artist!

Lydia started an art class today. This darling girl in my neighborhood is teaching them and to say that Lydia loved it would be an understatement. She gets to go once a week and it is with her best friend Peyton too...hope they are good (ha ha ha!) I love to see her so excited about learning new things!

Thanksgiving Point

Well I lucked out and some really good friends of ours gave Chris a "Thank-you" for selling them their house and gave him a $100 gift card to Thanksgiving Point. Well I am lucky because Chris let me get a family pass for the year there with it. We went today and it was so much fun! I am excited to be able to take advantage of all the fun things we can do there all year long...and my guests even get 50% off...woohoo!

It was such a nice quiet day, there were literally like 10 other kids total and a couple of families from my ward ended up being there so that was fun to have some company while the kids played. It was Audrey's first time playing in the dino digging section and let's just say she is going to have one sandy diaper tonight (yes I caught her eating it more then once...parent of the year right here:) Anyways Lydia was so excited when I told her we can go back to the dino museum every week if she wants and I am too I like getting out of the house and she loves Dinosaurs...win, win!

Cute Peyton Liddy's best friend EVER...they really are two pea's in a pod!

Cash Turns 1

Yes I am posting out my best friends little guy...to say that we love Cash is an understatement (We are totally OBSESSED with him!) Meg did the cutest birthday party EVER and I was the photographer because her camera is broken so I am not going to post the whole slew since she hasn't even seen these pics yet (sorry Meg they are being e-mailed even as I type this post.) Anyways she did a $ theme since his name is CASH...ha ha ha! He is such a cutie and we are so happy that he is apart of their family because we sort of feel like we are apart of their family as well...we are adopted Miller's (ha ha ah!) So anyways Happy Birthday little Cash and P.S. only 15 more years til you can date Audrey:)

Meg and Cash...I feel really bad I didn't get any pics of Colby and Cash (sorry.)

Isn't he such a little stud...she dresses him so stinking cute!

She had Cash things all over the house and even had some fun money games which the kids LOVED!!! So cute:)

The Museum of Natural History

Whhhheeewwww well it has been a very busy and fun month! We have been so busy I haven't been very good about blogging. Please don't be offended if I haven't commented lately as part of my new years resolution I am trying to lessen my computer time so it is nothing personal! But here is one of the fun things we did this month!

We went to the Natural Museum of History up by Red Butte Gardens. It is seriously so STINKING cool, I was in heaven. Looking at my pictures it just doesn't do it justice. We will definitely be going back soon. They were even so nice they really don't have enough parking and we ended up having to park super far away, once I got to the front desk to pay I realized I had forgotten my wallet, instead of the cute girl sending me back she comped my tickets for us...BONUS!!!

I would highly recommend this for anyone with toddler or older kids, we even left for lunch and went back again afterwards...so much fun!

You can't tell from the pic but you walk on glass on top of dinosaur bones. It was so funny to see how hesitant kids were at first.

Audrey was a trooper as usual...love my little snuggle bug!

The museum is HUGE and seriously they have so many cool things...I was rushing from things like a kid even.

A typical Knudsen kids pic...no one looking at the camera!

Checking out the dinosaur dig

She loved all the hands on exhibits. They even had scratch and sniff for a lot of the plants I was loving that!

Talk about a view...you feel like you are at Ensign peak overlooking the entire valley!

They had a hands on toddler section, we did this last and I am so glad because getting Audrey back into the stroller for the walk back to the car was quite the adventure!

Maybe Lydia will take after her Nana and become a science teacher...she was amazed with all the cool bugs and plants.

They even had cute dress-ups...this wolf one was my favorite!

They had this cool stream that the kid's got to catch fake fish in...they LOVED it!

That face says it all...we will definitely be making our way back to the museum very soon!
