The ZOO!

The kids LOVE the zoo. This was the perfect day it wasn't to hot and most kids were in school so it wasn't too crowded. My aunt Patty was here for a couple of weeks and we wanted to take all the kids so we loaded up and off we went. Taylor was in school and she wasn't very happy she missed it when she got home!the kids sat on the elephant it made sneezing noises and sprayed water at them. they are all watching to see the spray. They have really done a lot of work to the zoo it is looking really nice. They have added a carosel the kids were so excited. Baby KK was too nervous to sit on one of the animals by himself so grandma decided to get on one with him. He loved it. I loved seeing my mom up there!! haha. I love watching how much they love the different animals and seeing them learn about them. My favorite is the monkey's I would love to take one home! I figure I raise monkey's anyway so it would feel right at home!!

Its crazy how I am reminded every day that these little beings that I care for are growing so fast right before my eyes, Even though the mundane chores of the day are tiresome and I am often tried beyond what I think I can bear, It only takes one small moment or a song that brings floods of emotions of them going to be on there own. Now i know they are only 6,5 and 3 but it seems as though every morning they have grown a little slowly changing into the adults they will one day become and i remember that my most important job is them. I hope that even with my many mistakes they will grow into confident and well adjusted people. It amazes me the heart ache I have knowing I will be leaving them in a few short weeks when I go to oklahoma to visit my aunt for a week. I have never left my children for that long ever!! I know I will have fun but some how a mothers worry never leaves! I dont think I will beable to totally relax. I just hope they know how important they are to me and how much I love them, They bring such joy to my life. They are doing so many fun things and I wonder what new changes I will see when i return! I am eternally greatfull.

Dancing Queens!

Today was the girl's first dance lesson. I didn't think that I would be as excited to see them go as I was. It was an all day event! Kristy and I went to register them with our boys (who were not as excited to be there!) and then we were off to shop for the perfect outfits! Kristy has danced her way through life and was determind to get my girls involved! we went to Target where we had nasty lunch and no luck with clothes or shoes! We had to find black all leather Ballet shoes and oh by the way none of the Paylesses in utah county carry them!! so off we were to Jordan Landing we went! where Kristy had found adorable skirts and shirts for the girls at carters~! (and she had a coupon that was burning a hole in her pocket!!LOL! Thankfully there was a Payless nearby with an abundance of black ballet shoes!! We were in bussiness!! (good thing too because we only had 15 min to be home before the girls got off the bus!) we got them dressed and headed out! We were the only mom's poking our heads through the window to catch a glimpse of the girls in action!! Im sure the teacher just loved us! They are taking a combo of jazz,tumbling,and ballet! they will be performing twice this year! so I'm sure there will be many more dance pics!! I decided we needed a little photog shoot when they got home and the girls were a little tired from the day so they were a little hard too work with! Mckaydee was showing her exhaustion by wanting to be asleep in every shot!! haha those girls keep me on my toes!! Thank you Kristy for all your help!! Dance usually brings up bad memories for me. Taking kristy to and from dance always in rush hour traffic 4-5 days a week and her continuosly fliting around the house!! I had a new sense of excitement today seeinf there cute little faces lght up! Taylor was all worried she would be late she didn't want to miss out on anything!! I think this will be a new fun chapter for the girls!! Dance like no one is watching girls!!! Have fun I love you~ mom

camping with vern and patty

We had so much fun going to Vern and Patty's cabin (my best friends dad and girlfriend) . I have known Vern forever and he has kinda adopted me and my family. I think because Steph lives so far away im the closest thing to her and i appreciate that! We got to ride four wheelers and just hang out and relax. It was so beautiful up there. We stayed on the deck most of the day watching the kids play and I got fried!!! my face looked like a lobster. lol. we roasted marshmellows and made smores! mmmm. My kids absolutely love the outdoors and it was fun to just let them relax and enjoy the beauty.Taylor loves their dogs chase and bailey but, they are older and dont enjoy her carting them around as much!! we had to keep reminding her that htey were old!! she is such an animal lover! she keeps trying to convince me of getting her a fish which in most houses would be a reasonable pet! But you may not know Im deathly afraid of them!! My dad got me and my sister crayola fish tanks one year for christmas and we jammed as many little fish in there we could. I think there just wasn't enough room so when I would go to feed them some of them would jump out and I would run to the kitchen grab a spoon scoop them back up into the tank. Needless to say some of them started swimming sideways and that ws the end of my love for fish! one day maybe i will swallow my fear and suprise her with an attiquite tank with the a good lid!! haha thank you so much vern for letting us stay with you hope to see more of the cabin next year!!
