Trip to the Zoo

Nothing better than a trip to the zoo, especially if the weather is cool, the zoo is practically empty, and the animals are actually moving around doing something! We got to see a giraffe drink water, and that is really something to behold since they have to spread their legs WIDE for their head to reach the ground. We saw a peacock up close and personal since it was just wandering around the zoo as if it owned the place. We saw kangaroo walking around on all fours---absolutely ridiculous looking, and then take off jumping--equally funny. All in all we had a wonderful day.

Gus, Greyson, Kaden, and Win.

What mighty ancient civilization built this structure?

Which way does the map tell us to go?

All aboard!

Personal Progress!

Adelynn was awarded her personal progress medallion on May 1, 2010. When she first began the Young Women's program she set the goal to finish before she turned 14. She is the first in our ward to finish the program as a beehive! Will and I are super proud of her, and as a special award we told her we would take her on a trip to Washington DC!

The stake held a special brunch for all the girls who had earned their medallion. Here are some pictures of the event.

This picture doesn't really do it justice, but you can see displayed the nativity that Adelynn made from drift wood. It is the cutiest thing ever!

Easter Egg Hunt

Start off the Easter fun with some bubble machines.
Enoch doesn't need a machine! Those bubbles would impress even Gandolf himself.

The hunt begins.

It didn't take Win long to fill his basket.

Caught ya!
Win always grins his way out of trouble.

Greyson crashes in the laundry room

You know how we love sleeping pictures. Late in February we came in from playing outside. I took off my shoes and headed in to get dinner ready. After a few minutes I wondered where Greyson was and called for him. When I got no response I started looking. I found him asleep in the laundry room, still in his jacket, sleeping on Win's jacket!

The next day was sunny

When you are stuck at home, unable to drive anywhere, you play in the snow! The second snow day was sunny and bright!

The kids were able to sled down the street.

They made a great big snowman!

Then collapsed from the effort! :)

Snow Snow and more Snow January 31

Getting ready to go out to play in the snow! This snow storm dumped enough snow that the kids missed four days of school and church! We were all home together for 4 days straight. We had a blast.
