Hogle Zoo

I have been a little, or a lot behind on my blogging. It has been a long, stressful month. Good news this is the last weekend in June. Besides the heat, July looks real promising.

At the beginning part of June we were visiting Utah. We took Sloane and Emie to the zoo. Micah was sick and stayed at home for a little one on one with Grandma.

I thought this was a cool shot with Sloane, Jeremy and the Rhino in the picture.

Ice cream is always a highlight of any outing.

So are shoulder rides.

You can not see the little bird, but my girls loved the fact that it tried to bite their fingers through the glass. I mean we have birds that will peck them at home (for free), but the glass made it more interesting.

All little kids love the water feature with the marble ball. Big kids like it too.
Sloanie found some shade, I love this picture. I may just have to blow it up.
Sloanie and Daddy on the (10 second) train ride. I swear it was a lot longer when i was a kiddo.
Sloane learning about Asian culture and large cat paws.

It was really fun, I actually enjoyed walking around. The weather was perfect for us and the animals.

Public Again

Go Ahead an re add me to your google readers and bloglines. I am Public once again. Going private was a lot of work, so I can not believe I am doing this. But, I like being public better.

Hip Hip Hooray

A new job saves the day.

We were packing up ready to move to a new place. But, low and behold a job opportunity presented itself in our own backyard. Jeremy is so happy about working here and we did not have to compromise our asking salary. We feel so lucky and so blessed.

I am so Grateful for all those who kept us in their prayers.

That is right people we do not have to move anywhere. I think I have been in a state of shock. I really did not expect things to work out so well.

I think I might just celebrate by making my blog public again! What do you all think?

I have NOT enjoyed being private.

Playing with Cousins

Seriously, what kid doesn't love a bubble machine!?!

While we were visiting Jeremy's parents, we headed down to spend time with my cousin and her ADORABLE kiddos.

Emie just loves bubbles. She would stand so close and put her face right up to it, I thought we would for certain be washing soap out of her eyes. She was just fine.

This is the snuggliest little one ever. He is so sweet and simply precious.

Our kids play so well together, it is awesome.

The sand box was a big hit! I am a clean freak, but Jeremy has been helping me slowly get over it by letting the kids get dirty and wet. They had such a fun time and I enjoyed watching them. **Sigh** I may break down and eventually get one.
I love it when my kids play well together and with others, especially cousins.

We are ready to come back and visit again!
