Everyone say hello to our beautiful baby BOY! Everything looked perfect and he's right on target to arrive in early October. Both my husband and I were a bit surprised when we saw so clearly that it was a boy, we'd both had a hunch that we'd be buying pink again this time around! 

Speaking of buying things, we have zero baby boy clothes. Like, none, until he turns 5, then we have whatever survives from son #2. It's a little overwhelming thinking about...so I'm leaving that for September or so, lol. 

My kids? Oh heavens they're excited! They collectively decided last week that they wanted a brother, so they were over the moon when we told them. 

Here's his little foot. Seems like we've got a mellow little guy in there, which I admit makes me a bit relieved! All 5th babies should be mellow, right?!  

Thanks for letting me share~ I'll keep you all posted as the next few months goes by!

Giveaway: 2 Family Passes to Day Out with Thomas, 2013 from Heber Valley Railroad

Pin It

Thomas the Train is once again coming to Utah! May 24th- 27th, the Heber Valley Railroad will be hosting the popular Day Out with Thomas event. We've attended several times over years and my kids absolutely love it! The Train ride itself is fun~ it's a 25 minute round trip ride through the Heber Valley, which is always gorgeous. Aside from the train ride they also have several stations with other activities like playing on Train tables, listening to a Thomas the Train story, etc. Once they even had a small petting zoo! They give you a Passport where you collect stamps from each activity and kids can get a free souvenir once they redeem their passport. Really, it's a fun family event we've always enjoyed.

Here's a description of this year's tour:

Day Out with Thomas is a fun-filled and exciting way for children and adults to enter the world of Thomas & Friends®. Day Out With Thomas provides an opportunity for kids to take a ride with Thomas and have their pictures taken with Sir Topham Hatt, the controller of Thomas’ railway. The tour provides a unique, interactive and memorable family experience at every station, offering a variety of entertaining activities that reflect the local flavor of each stop. Different forms of entertainment – from petting zoos, miniature golf, and bounce houses to face-painting and magic shows – make each Day Out With Thomas event special.

You can purchase tickets in advance here. I know this event sells out nearly every year; it's very popular!

2 Utah Deal Diva readers will each win a Family 4-pack of tickets to A Day Out with Thomas!

Tickets are valid for any day, May 24th- 27th.
