Willow Park Zoo!!

Now that is a fun Zoo, short sweet and cheap!! They even had monkeys which Matthew absolutely loved! Some highlights the kids loved were, of course the monkeys, the turtle, swans, and how could I forget feeding the ducks and fish. We do hope that we can make it to the real zoo sometime this year, but for now the kids can enjoy our little zoo right here in Logan.

My cute little family enjoying the zoo!

If you can't tell this is a duck they are staring at, Matthew kept yelling at them trying to get their attention

See the swan in the back ground? Kaitlyn and Melanie thought it was so cool, they have really been into the swan princess movies lately. So you can only imagine how much they loved this swan.

We had to go and see the monkeys one last time. Matthew would just kick his hands and feet and scream at them. He absolutely loved them.

Our New Toy!

So about six months ago when it was really cold and winter was setting in, ICON decided to clear out their warehouse. So they had a huge parking lot sale, with items dirt cheap. Brad and I intended on going and getting me an elliptical, but little did we know that we would come home with a tramp instead. Side note, I am still waiting for my elliptical. So this huge box has been sitting in our garage for the last six months. It was finally warm enough up here to set it up. Well at least we thought. (Little did we know that it would snow the next day.) We spent most the afternoon putting it together. The girls were great help! We even had a picnic out on the lawn. The girls were so excited you would have thought it was Christmas. Which by the way was the original plan for the tramp, but I felt it too mean to give the girls something that they couldn't use for Christmas. The pictures don't show the eye sore of a net that we also got for a super good deal. This net surrounds the whole tramp and has bright green posts. At least it gives me the security that my kids are safer. Which in all reality probably is a false sense of security. We have had a few chances to enjoy it when the weather permits. The girls just can't wait for it to always be warm so they can jump everyday. Hopefully this will give me a little more free time.


Melanie loves to help her dad with projects.

Random!

Here are a bunch of random pictures.


Waiting to go to Jacobs Baptism. Aren't they beautiful?

We got to the baptism early, so let the girls walk around the church for a little while. I thought this was so cute as I walked behind them. They decided it would be fun to hold hands, they really are such great friends.

Don't you just want to hug this little guy?

Photo Shoot!

The other day my great neighbor Courtney took pictures of my kids, with her awesome camera. They turned out so good, she really captured their personalities. I had to post some of them. OK, so I had a hard time choosing which ones because they turned out so cute, but I narrowed it down to these.
