I admit it, I'm a slacker. It's hard to keep up with life, not to mention blogging.
We went to the zoo over spring break this year. It was super busy. I guess every one else had the same idea. We had a hard time seeing any animals with people in the way. We were doing good just to not lose each other and get through the crowds.

 Here are a few pictures of that day.

 this is the group we went with:

 we were pretty exhausted after a busy morning at the zoo. We'll definitely be going again (hopefully, it won't be as busy)

Vroom! Vroom!

Daddy got a new motorcyle. Everyone had a few turns to take a ride on it and had fun.

Snowfun!

What do you do when it snows?

Walk to school with your awesome dad in snowshoes?

Make a giant hill in your front yard and go sledding?

Whatever it is, snow is fun!

Fun with Grandma

Oh, I'm so behind on blogging! So, do I blog one big up to date entry? Or several small ones? I think we'll just do small ones :)

Just before Halloween, Grandma & Grandpa came to stay with us. Grandma Sherrie took the kids to Build A Bear. They were so excited!

I couldn't get Henry to stay put long enough to get his picture with his dog he made. Thanks, Grandma for the fun day!

the next milestone of life

Today was Gabi's first day of kindergarten! She was so excited to go. Her teacher's name is Ms Little. (I am hoping to get a picture of Gabi with her).

Took this picture the next day. Gabi and Ms Little

Gabi was full of smiles and hugs when I went to pick her up from school today. She said she liked school and wants to go back tomorrow.
I am so proud of her. I was nervous that she was going to be scared. She did awesome! She told me today that tomorrow she would be going into the school by herself. Big stuff!

the other kids wanted to be in the picture, too:

St. George

A couple of weeks ago, the I took the little kids to St. George - to visit grandma and grandpa. We were there for 4 1/2 days. We went to the St. George Temple, the park, splash pad, shopping and just hung out at their house.
(I'm just going to post a lot of pictures with no captions)
