Lions, Tigers and Bears

Okay, so we didn't really see the lions, but we did see tigers and bears at our trip to the zoo.  We went with our good friends to the zoo last Thursday.  It was a great day.  Wonderful weather, and not many people.  It was so much fun.  

Here is D at the while alligator exhibit.  Last time he was really scared, but this time he thought it was awesome.  
Kate thought the alligator was really cool last time, but this time she was terrified.  She stood in the corner and screamed, "It scares me! It scares me!".  I had to convince her to pass by the alligator just to get out.  She was pretty scared of all the animals this time.  
D has a big mouth, but not as big as an elephants.  There are not many pics of D, He was too busy running around exploring and having fun.  
I thought this was a cute pic.  My little tiny girl, next to the huge elephants.  
One of the cutest things was this little baby monkey.  We tried to get a good look at it, but there were lots of adults looking at it, and they would not let the kids get too close.  So, we went around the exhibit.  The baby monkey followed us.  He was lots of fun to watch.  He jumped on his sister's head, picked his nose and wiped it on his mom, and playfully jumped and climbed on the fence.  K loved it.
Here is the one photo op. of our little group.  It was a great day at the zoo.

So cute!! It is no small task when you can get 4 little kids to smile at a camera at the same time. We were in Salt Lake last week and we were going to go to the zoo on thursday, I would have seen you there!! We went to the dinosaur park instead though.

Hooray for Hogle Zoo!!! We were there in July. It's a great place to go. The one here in SA is huge, but stinks really bad thanks to the effects of humidity. Thanks for sharing. You're kiddos are so cute.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
