Zoo Fun

We went to the Zoo with my family recently. I personally was fascinated with the elephants, the baby was so cute. I forgot how much fun it was. Danika was all about the monkeys and Andrew just wanted to see the scorpion's. What is your favorite animal? Oh and if any of you plan on going, come and get a summer blast pass from me, I have a bunch of them. It gives you a free child's admission with a purchase of an adult. With all the adults that went we only had to pay for Kevin and I. SWEET!
My Mom and sisters met us there. My sister Shelly her husband Donny and their girls.
Giraffes are another fun animal to see. Did you know their tongues are blue?

BriLynn measures up quite well to a baby gorilla ha ha.

This is what happens...

This is what happens when you neglect your garden for awhile.

HA HA anybody want it :) You could make some killer Zucchini bread.

GOOD NEWS!

No I'm not pregnant. Although I thought the same thing myself when I read it. That would be good news but this is also:
1- We are saving about 20-30 bucks a month? How you say???? Jacob is potty trained! We started Monday. I still have him wear a diaper to bed since he still wakes up wet. I was at a PTA meeting on Tuesday and he pooped in his underwear. Ya that was no fun. I'm curious if any of you have awful potty training stories.
2- I have found eight names to do work for on the new family search website. It's AWESOME!!! I can't wait to go do their work. I found them all on Kevin's side of the family.
3- Time out for Women is tomorrow night and Saturday! My Mom and my twin Sister Susan along with my two older sisters that live here are going. I'm excited to see Mary Ellen Edmunds. She cracked me up last year!

This is random but here are some pictures we got of the kids with a bird that a friend had brought over for them to see.


This one makes me smile. Luke was laughing so hard. I think we probably scared the poor thing (the bird that is).

New Dancing Skills

We went from shoulder bouncing to booty shaking HA HA

Venting post #?

I had a breaking point tonight. It started towards the middle of the day. I have had to start making dinner in the afternoon since BriLynn has become so clingy. I have to get everything done while she is asleep. Breakdown= BriLynn crying (wanting to be held constantly), Jacob throwing a tantrum (no nap of course), Luke picking on Jacob (because he plays the annoying big brother so well), me paying bills online (like that's ever a happy event), Danika complaining about homework and Andrew complaining about his chores, did I mention the bathroom floor and sink being covered in water?, dirty dishes (the sink and dishwasher are full), dirty kitchen (salt all over,courtesy of Luke, baby seat full of mushed green beans and punch spilled all over the place) then to add to it Kevin saying "Bye" leaving for meetings. I had had it. After collecting myself and getting things all cleaned up I still feel flustered. I'm sure that some ice cream will help with that. Ahh.. just the thought of it makes me smile. Okay I'm good.
