Boo at the Zoo

(**taptap**, is this thing on?) Sorry I haven't blogged in a couple weeks my peeps! Here is a few fun pics of us this last Saturday at the zoo!






Here is the little monkey!! Ooo,ooo.











After telling Emme all of her choices for face painting (i.e. flower, heart, star etc.) she chose a bat!..not just any bat, it had to be a RED bat. Well the 15 year old painting her face tried his darndest to do an awesome red bat, but well, it wasn't happenin'. The thing had about 5 wings!! Oh well, E thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. She kept checking it out any chance she got!!

Someone knew it was Cold and Flu Season

Last night I had Emme help set the table. Here is what I found at each place setting. She is very intuitive, don't you think?

Birthday Weekend!

We had a packed weekend of birthday events featuring friends, family, pumpkins, and even ponies. Click on the this LINK to see our slideshow =)

Happy Birthday Levi

Well it's official! I am a mom of a 1 year old! A year ago yesterday I was making some "Dream Dinners" to stock up for my boy that was supposed to arrive in 2 weeks! But he had different plans and at 5 something in the morning on October 12, my little "big" boy arrived.

Happy Birthday buddy.

Happy Birthday Goose

Happy 3rd Birthday to my little girl. You are such a blessing in our lives! I'm glad out of all the little girls that God picked you for our family.:) I love you Emme Kate.

Golf at the Appletree

While Mamo watched the kids on saturday, I got to play a round of golf with my dad and bro. You can actually see Josh's ball in his pic at the bottom, it's a little spec.....very cool. And you can see my lame form in the 2nd pic...what can I say, I swing for fences each time!

The Fair!

So while Bridge is off frolicking around in NC without the kids, I took em to Yakima to visit the fam. Today we went to the fair and Emme and Ella had a great time riding the kiddie rides!

Sophia pics

The Marchant Family

Dan, Candee and baby Sophia had us over for dinner tonight and allowed me to pry into their lives by shooting a gazzilion photos of them....it was fun. Here is the first one I have finished touching up. Thanks guys!

Snug as a Bug

This is pretty much a regular morning in our bed. Emme loves to come in when she wakes up, whether 2 am or 7am and steal my pillow and hog my side. Stinker. And because I'm too lazy to take her back to her room, so I just shove her a little farther over to her daddy's side.
If only I didn't know better, I'd say she looks like a little angel here, no? I love this shot.

Hyde Park Fair

Bridge and I went to the Hyde Park Fair downtown on Friday for a date......pretty liberal atmosphere, but we enjoyed seeing people's passions displayed non-the-less. This is a panaoramic pic stitched together using about 6 photos.....which is why some people look like ghosts ;)
