Kangaroo Zoo

 Hunter was so excited to see his cousin Kyle.  These two are best buds and were so happy to see each other.

We also were able to go to one of our favorite places, Kangaroo zoo, while we were in Utah.  The boys had a great time jumping and playing.

These two were so fun to play with and were bouncing like crazy.

Dinner with Kelsey

While we were in Utah we were also able to meet up with Cameron's birth family.  We had such a great time seeing Kelsey, Cameron's birth mom, and all of her family for dinner.  They are so kind and friendly and Cameron loved playing with  everyone.

Cameron getting loves from Kelsey.

One of his favorite people was Jayden, Kelsey's little boy.  He wanted to hug and love Jayden all day.

We loved catching up and spending time with all of the family.

Utah Trip

 Ever since we moved to Arizona, Hunter has been asking when we were going to go back to Utah to   see his cousins and friends.  We thought it would be fun to go up to Utah and have Thanksgiving up with my brother and his family.  We were able to head up the weekend before Thanksgiving for a lot of fun.

 

The boys were so excited to see all of their cousins.  While they were waiting to pick up Megan and Molly from school they were able to pet and feed these horses.  The boys have really missed having horses over our back fence and loved feeding these horses.

Then the boys were able to see Megan and Molly and were in heaven.

The boys absolutely love Megan and Molly, in fact, now Cameron loves any little girl he meets that are around their age.  We headed to BYU with the girls to have some fun.

Our first stop was the BYU art museum. 

The kids loved climbing and looking at all of the art.

Then we headed over to the BYU bookstore.

My little bookworms were in heaven having daddy and their cousins read them book after book.  The boys would have Megan and Molly read them books every night and morning.

After the bookstore we decided to go bowling.

The boys did pretty good bowling.

They loved cheering for their cousins.

We were also able to go to the BYU paleontology museum while we waited for the girls to come home from school.

Cameron couldn't believe how big his mouth was.

 We also were able to meet up with a lot of our Utah County friends and eat at our favorite restaurants.  Cameron has really missed eating J-Dawgs and loved going out with just him and daddy.

Thanksgiving Projects

We have been doing projects galore at our house.  The boys are so excited for Thanksgiving and turkeys and have wanted to do every craft they see.  The other day Hunter told me he wanted to play a game on my phone, he said he wanted to play Pinterest.  He loves looking on Pinterest and picking out projects for us to do.

 Hunter's hand turkey.  Notice How Hunter has his tongue out in so many of these pictures.

 Cameron getting crazy with scissors to create his pine cone turkey.

 Making some Indian corn to feed to his pine cone turkey.

 Hunter wanted to decorate each of his feathers differently for his pine cone turkey.

 Creating a scarecrow and then becoming the scarecrow.  He loved being the scarecrow and surprising everyone who came over to our house.

 We collected these paint chips at the store to make these little turkeys.  Cameron's turkey got all of the feathers because Hunter wanted his to be a turkey chick.

Our turkey pumpkin. 

The boys were covered in glue and every surface close by after they made these tissue paper turkeys.

I love these two little chiefs.

I love doing all of these cute projects with my little cuties.

Science Projects

We went to the store the other day and it had an entire aisle with science projects and other science products.  Hunter loved it.  He wanted to stop and inspect everything on the aisle and hoped Santa would bring him everything.  Without fail, every naptime Hunter asks me if we can do a science projects.  So I just keep coming up with new projects with baking soda and vinegar. 

We created tie dye explosions with colored vinegar and a baking soda pan.

 Hunter loved squirting the vinegar and creating explosions.

 He was so excited to mix the colors.

 He spent nearly 30 minutes creating the perfect tie dye.

 Then he wanted to just play with the goo at the end.  He is always asking to do this project again and again.  Luckily vinegar and baking soda are cheap and put on such a great show.

Next we tried blowing up balloons with the carbon dioxide produced from the baking soda vinegar reaction.

We used some funnels to get each of the products in their respective containers.

 Then we mixed them together and watched the results.

 Hunter was amazed at how the balloon quicly blew up.

He loves doing these projects so much and is always so excited and so appreciative.  I love making this little guy smile.
