A Day At The ZOO!!

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and spend some time at the zoo! The kids were so excited to see the animals and ride the train! Josh's favorite animal is the giraffe! Sam's favorite animal is the camel! And by Maurie's reactions, I think her favorite is the monkeys!

Sam and Chase enjoying the train ride!

A day in the sun!

Me, Maurie and Josh on the train!

Maurie's first go at the carousel!

Josh was a smiles as he rode on his giraffe on the carousel! Notice Peyton in the back on the right, she was so nervous and scared. I felt helpless, Heather stayed off with her baby and I was clear across on the other side so all I could do was yell words of encouragement! (Needless to say I am glad that she was able to stay in her seat the entire ride!)

Having fun with the cousins! I think Peyton was still in shock from the carousel that she opted to stay in the stroller for pictures!

Our First Go At Stitches. . . or Staples!!

Joshie and Sam were rough housing with each other today on the couch while I was painting my bedroom ceiling! Josh got bumped off and hit the coffee table. It wasn't as melodramatic like it would have been with Sam who probably would have passed out from lack of oxygen because he cries so hard. Josh on the other hand acted like he just got a bump on the head. He did cry though when the doctor used lidocaine. Four staples later our poor guy was all smiles when he received a sucker and a coupon for free ice cream!

Did I mention that two hours before this happened I had to call poison control because I caught Maurie sucking on the end of the boys toothpaste! Luckily the tube was nearing empty anyway.

Did I also mention that ten minutes after I put Maurie to bed tonight she started wailing , so I went in to check on her and there was blood all over her mouth and all over her teddy bear. I thought to myself "what could have possibly gone wrong now?, do I get another trip to the doctor!!" Luckily (for me at least) she had just bit her lip and it was bleeding like crazy!

What a day!!

Happy Birthday Sam!

I didn't think it would happen this early, but all that Sam wanted for his birthday was money and a cake! So needless to say it was the easiest birthday I have ever had to do!!

Sam is very proud of the lego race car he picked out for one of his presents!

Happy Easter!

Maurie with Easter goodies!

The kids had a fun Easter this year!

The Easter egg hunt was a classic, even Maurie got a lot in her bucket!

The Museum of Art at BYU

While Dane was with us we went to the BYU Museum of Art to see the Walter Wick displays (better known at my house as the "I Spy" guy). The boys had so much fun that they recreated their own version!

Cousins!

Aren't these guys little handsome devils!

I thought I would sneak a picture while they were all together!
