The Zooooooo

Last week Courtney and I decided to take advantage of the fine weather and take our girlies to the Zoo!

(honestly i'm not the hugest fan of the zoo but I wanted to do something fun for the girls)

So we lathered on the sunscreen, filled our water bottles, packed our treats and went

I can't believe how big my baby is getting...

Kenz was VERY excited to see the animals...can you tell?

Two hours later we were pooped! But when all was said and done I am glad we went :)

K and Courtney posted about this trip on her blog and wrote it from the girls perspective and I laughed my head off so if you're interested take a minute and read this

Garden Grow

This weekend we finally started our garden...well part of it anyway...all this rain (which i LOVE) has kind of gotten in the way but we did get some of this planted

Emery was such a big helper

Goodness this girl melts my heart...

Now this weekend we are going to plant the rest of these

I'm soooo excited!!

(If anyone has any veggie gardening tips please let me know)

So today while this girl was taking her morning nap...

I planted these!

I've decide Ranunculus are my new favorite flower...aren't they beautiful??

Tulips are right up there too though...

Its days like today that remind me why I live here :)

Now we're off to the cold White Mountains to play in the snow!

See you soon sister!!

7 Random Things About Me *REVISED*

I was looking back at old posts and i happened upon this site. and it made me laugh how different things are since having a baby!

1. I have to wear an undershirt with everything. My G's don't count so i definately wear at least three shirts...everyday.

**ya right! breast feeding broke me of this one...its hard enough to work around G's and a T shirt

2. Every night before Morg and I fall asleep, (i'm talking laying in bed with the lights off) I have to know what time it is. I think its cuz I have this internal clock I have to set so i won't sleep in.

**i could care less what time it is...all that matters is that i'm in bed which means Emery is finally asleep and thats good enough for me!

3. I wipe down the sink and the counter around the sink after everytime i wash my hands. I'm talking i have a separate rag at home that i keep in a drawer in the bathroom that i use only to wipe down the sink. If i'm in a public restroom i use the paper towels.

**honestly, who does that?? i had way too much time on my hands...

4. I have to keep the shower curtain in my bathroom shut all the time.

**if the shower curtain is closed then i can't see if Emery is in there or not so its pretty much open and pulled up out of the way all the time...

5. Before Morg and i go out of town the house has to be spotless and all the laundry done. I hate coming home to a dirty house.

**i still try and do this...but sometimes its just impossible...

6. I love home decor. If someone gave me $5,000 (like on What Not To Wear) i'd totally blow it on random things for my house instead of clothes.

**i'll take the clothes...PLEASE PUT ME ON THAT SHOW!!

7. And lastly...hmm...whenever Morgan and i go anywhere in his truck i have to sit in the "girlfriend seat" (in the middle). That way he can put his hand on my leg:) YAY!

**Emery now sits in the "girlfriend seat" she likes to use her feet to help Morgan drive its pretty cute :)

see??

Love the iPod

Sometimes when nothing else works we whip out the iPod and let Em watch her little Pixar Short Films...like when she wakes up before we do in the morning we'll give it to her while we get 5 more minutes of sleep...or when she is done being in the car...or when Morgan wants to play XBox...

Her favorites include...

Boundin', For The Birds and Geri's Game...

I need to download longer ones though...sometimes 5 minutes just isn't long enough...

Anyone Interested??

So my stake offers an Institute class every Monday morning from 9-10:30 and I really want to go! The only problem is my babysitter (my mother in-law) goes to the class herself...so i was thinking...if any of you girls are interested in going to the class with me we could switch off watching kids in the nursery during class! I know its kind of a big commitment because its every Monday...but it could be a lot of fun so please let me know if anyone is interested!

Daxton

This little boy melts my heart

We LOVE him!

(we love that little girl too!)

I always knew my brother and sister in-law would make a beautiful baby but they went above and beyond with Daxton Boy

Dave and Jess,

Thanks for letting me hug and kiss those cheeks yesterday...I'll watch your kiddos anytime!
