the zoo

We took the kids to the zoo saturday. It was a gorgeous day, but turns out everyone else had the same idea. The kids had smiles on their faces which made it so worth it though. They are really into animals lately and learning the noises they make. The first animal we saw was an elephant. It took Alta a little while to find it at first, but once she did she was so excited. Of course between managing two toddlers and the stroller I didn't get as my many pictures as I had hoped. In fact I only took two. Doesn't that always happen. So this picture will have to do. 

Yay for weekends in the sun!! So happy to not be stuck inside all day everyday. 

weekend partying

We had an awesome weekend! 

I had a maternity photo shoot with my college roomie (pictures to come), we started our nursery by buying a rocking chair. Now I just want to start buying everything. We celebrated this lovely girls birthday....

My sister in law Marissa is turning 21 on Friday. Happy Birthday! 

We went bowling with great friends.....

Although we lost it was a great time. We had been missing Meg and Dan. They had their first little boy the beginning of April and have been confined to their house for awhile. I can only imagine how it is going to be for us :). We will just have to throw parties at our house for a couple months.

Saturday we went to my little sisters soccer game....

and the BYU rugby championship game with my dad. Although they lost it was Amazing! We had great seats. That is one intense sport, look at the blood on that guys bum...

they had little kids playing on the field during half time and Greg said "we should have our boys play rugby." Although I think it is an awesome sport I'm not sure I want my kids playing it. What doesn't kill them only makes the stronger though I guess. I'm sure the ladies would love it. 

Now only two more days until next weekend and it is a three day weekend, YAY!!! 

Tulip Festival

Mothers Day weekend we went to the Thanksgiving Point Tulip Festival, it was gorgeous! The gardens were huge, we were there for almost two hours and could have stayed longer easily. The day couldn't have been more perfect the sun was shining I got to walk around looking and taking pictures of gorgeous flowers while catching up, dreaming of babies and holding hands with my hubby. If you get a chance next year you must go! Next year I want to get a year membership to Thanksgiving Point events so I can take my kiddies whenever we want, wouldn't that be lovely. If you are close by (hint, hint) you should get one too, would be a fun play date. 

Conference Weekend

This past week was conference weekend and we had our good friends from Arizona, Tim and Mal Pal, up visiting, which  means I got to take lots of pictures of their baby girl Alex. Isn't she the cutest?

We had a great week we...enjoyed watching conference, made delicious crepes and curry, caught up, celebrated Cort's birthday, and had a girls night while all the men went to Priesthood.  

I love her little grin...

I Did it....

I cut my hair and I love it....most of the time :) Thanks everyone for your suggestions!!

 Greg and I were able to hang out with a lot of good friends over the weekend. On Saturday we stopped for lunch and got a Jamba Juice, where we entertained ourselves with our camera... we know we are dorks, but we had fun so that's all that matters :).

 Hope you had a great weekend as well!!
