One day when the kids were at school, Melody had gone downstairs and was very quiet. So
I went to investigate and found that she had written all over herself with brown marker!
She was quite proud of herself and said "Legs, legs" and pointed to her legs. When I
got out a wet wipe to start to clean her, she grabbed it from me and helped too.

Jaina had been asking me for a few days if we could make cookies, but she
wanted snicker-doodles, which take longer to prepare. So finally we made the dough
while Melody was napping and we were able to make up the cookies after dinner.
She is a really good helper and loves to put the balls of dough in the cinnamon sugar.
Pat bought a set of Golden Books that retell the stories of all 6 Star Wars movies. So he
has been reading one to Jaina every night. She loves books and being read to.

The kids love to make 'houses' out of the couch cushions for Melody to play in. Sadly in this picture, she was
crying because Xander told her it wasn't ready yet. She is really starting to get sad when she's told 'no'.

After church the girls wanted to watch Netflix. They usually go into Mara's
room to watch, but this day they decided to camp out in the front room.
We went to Mana's for dinner. After eating, Melody sat with Karri so she could watch cat videos on
YouTube. She was laughing so hard at one of a cat jumping into a paper sack. It was so cute.

It had been a long time since I got a hair cut and it was driving me crazy because I don't usually keep it that
long. So I was able to pamper myself and get a nice cut and style. It makes me feel so happy to have cute hair.

Once again, Karri came to the house to watch the kids so we could go to ward temple night.
When she was watching the kids she brought her Jessie doll for Melody, since she loves Toy
Story right now. Sadly, there was a little bit of fighting over it between Jaina and Melody.

She loves the Jessie doll and wouldn't put her down.

We needed to go to the cabin and close it up, so we decided to stay over
Friday night. In preparation, I made zucchini muffins for breakfast on Saturday.
They were super yummy and the kids have been asking for more.
We had stopped off at McDonald's to have dinner before we left, so when we got to Fairview we got ice cream
at Tee-Cee's. We had asked for a small cup of ice cream for Melody and this is what they gave us!!
When Pat was walking around the deck, he spied the shoe cleaner that looks like a small bear, so he came
into the cabin and told us that there was an animal on the deck. So I grabbed the camera and ran out there.
He was laughing because he tricked us, but Melody was cute and walked by and waved to it and said "Hi".
When we got ready for bed Melody grabbed Jaina's Minnie Mouse, put it in the bed, and snuggled up with it.
Then we had a selfie session, as we usually do when she see's me taking a picture with my phone.
Jaina loves to play on Mana's iPad and they were so cute snuggled together on the couch.
Saturday morning, we took a little walk and as always had
to take the nets with us to see if we could catch bugs.
Melody found the shoe cleaner again, but this time she was trying to feed it leaves.
The girls played 'lightsabers' in the Yellowstone area.
Then Xander and Melody had to come see what was going on.
This was just a little bit staged, but I love it and this beautiful place.
And she's off! All she wanted to do was walk up the road and play.
On the driveway, looking out to the road.
I sure love this place.

Jaina made Melody this awesome house and she was so happy to
play in it. Xander was impressed because it had four 'rooms'.
