Intresting or lack there of


So I haven;t had a chance to blog but then I really don't know what to to blog about at the current moment.

I have been trying really hard to keep my house clean since I moved here but I totally feel like I am in quicksand! I clean the kitchen then get it dirty for dinner, clean the kitchen before bed and by dinner I need to clean it again. Does anyone else have this problem?
Then there is laundry, oi! Where does it all come from it never ending and I am always falling behind assuming I was ever caught up.
This however is only part of my day. Then there are moments that are filled with great joy that take up most of my day. Some of these things like a phone call from a great friend, where we can giggle and laugh over things like laundry and kitchen woos! Than there is princess Bee who is so clever and smart watching things click for her is as amazing as any discovery a person can make; it is what equals pure success!
Today is Honey bees day off and it was marvelous! Princess Bee and him went swimming, we went grocery shopping and he worked on our cars. It may sound ordinary but it never ceases to amaze me how great a day can be doing nothing extra special. I guess what it is, is quality time.
So this was my day it was probably like so many other families and for me it was pure joy {with some exceptions mentioned above}

I hope your day was just as blessed!

Antelope Island

Last week my amazing sister in law and her little cuties came from Colorado to visit. We did a lot of stuff like seeing the SLC Temple, going on walks and just playing around.
One of my favorite things we did was go to Antelope Island. This is an area located on The Great Salt Lake. It has a heard of bison and antelope along with deer. One of the best places on the island in my opinion is a late 1800s to mid 1940s ranch that you go you feel like you are stepping back in time! The best things about it is the self guided tour and the kids are encouraged to touch EVERYTHING! When you have four kids who are told this guess what they;  they touch everything!
It was fun to watch history dance before our little bees eyes, they were excited about the history that happen there and they have already asked to go back! It was so cute princess bee and her cousin were going around saying look at this old timey fill in the blank {bed, stove, floor you name it they were amazed by it!}







Also here is a quick tip for kids if you go to a federal park make your first stop  the visitors center, and ask a Ranger about the JR Ranger program. This is a free program where they kids can do activities to become Jr Rangers. Once the activities are complete {they are mainly from a coloring book} they can take the oath to become a Jr Ranger and receive a Jr Ranger badge or patch! This year we started to collect these fun keepsakes and the best part is the kids feel like they get a special treat and it is FREE!
In the end my favorite thing was the quality time we spent together it was worth every minute of it! 
Where in Utah do you like to visit?
