Pets...

Brooklyn has recently started asking for pets we have between everything from horses to fishes. Her last request was a sheep and it went a lot like this...

Boky: "Mom, I want a sheep pet"
Me: "Sheep are too big and don't make good pets"
Boky: "But mom, I can make it small."
Me: "How can you make it small"
Boky: "I will feed it small food and small water!"

Mark's Birthday Celebration...

A week before Mark's birthday we went up to visit and had a blast! They took us to the Tautphaus Zoo in Idaho Falls. I was expecting a small scale petting zoo but it was actually like a "real zoo." They had lions, a tiger, and a cloth bear, Oh my!!! It was really fun for Brooklyn.

My lovely Zach made this picture interesting...

Brooklyn and Grandpa Mark...

The penguins!

Miss Tessa. She stayed in her seat/stroller for about half the time we were there and the rest of the time Grandma Tammy and I took turns holding her. It was a warm day so it was hard to want to carry a mini heater around.

Lions!!

One of the Sloth Bears.
They were really hungry and wanted food so I was lucky to get this picture because right after they went in the corner where they usually get food.

The TIGER!! He didn't want to come out and play.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

We had yummy banana splits for dessert and instead of birthday cake. You can tell by Zach's lovely picture how delicious they were!

Horse Ride...

So Brooklyn had her first horse ride on this past Monday. I didn't get to see it because I was at work but I was shocked when Zach sent me this picture on my cell. She is too little to be doing stuff like this, right? She is my baby! The funny thing about it is that we live here in the country where there are horses everywhere and her first horse ride was in Salt Lake City!! Love this girl, can't believe she is growing so fast...

Kitty....

This past Thursday and Friday we went and spent some time in Salt Lake with Zach's family. We had a great time but it never seems like we are there long enough to spend enough time with each person. We got to see everybody but not for very long. I always feel like we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off when we are there and trying to see everybody... oh well. It was nice to spend time since we haven't been there forever.

When we left on Thursday we decided to take Legacy Highway, and I have to agree, it ROCKS!! It cut time off of our trip by a lot, or it felt like a lot. We made it there in no time and Brooklyn was great on the way there.

We got to spend time with Grandma G, G-Grandma Day, and Jeremy the most. But it was good to see Grandpa G, Amanda, G-Grandpa Day, G-Aunt Mindy, G-Uncle Mark, Tyler, Devin, and Jer's Parent's. We even got to see everybody at the bowling alley (long story) and that was fun to see a few familiar faces in a public place.

Thanks for letting us invade the past few days, we will gladly return the favor if you guys make it up this way...


These are some pictures that I got when we were at the Barger's (Mindy, Mark, Devin, and Tyler). They have lots of animals and Brooklyn loved the Kitty. Here are some funny pictures of her and Tabby. You can't really tell but Tabby is ready to have babies any day now and she was still so patient and so good with little Brooklyn.

I really didn't get any other pictures which makes me sad, but I'm hoping Tammy will get some pictures on her blog (hint, hint, wink) ;)
