Random

So I always think of things I want to post on my blog, but I never seem to have time or I'm always typing with one hand while feeding the baby (like I am right now) resulting in a once a week post with lots of pictures and few words. I guess this is better than nothing so it's just going to have to do for now. So here is a random post about all of the things we have been up to lately.

We finally made it to the San Diego Zoo and let me tell you, it was so much better than the Santa Ana Zoo- mainly because they actually had animals!!!

One of the boys favorite things about the zoo was the foot massage chairs!

It's funny how interested we can all be with the hind end of a hippopotomus!

We actually didn't have any coins for them to ride this, but they still had fun just sitting on it and pretending!

Jon was cleaning out the garage one Saturday and I walked out to see the boys like this! Apparently they had strapped themselves in and tipped their seats over and were stuck in this position. I think it's a great idea for 'time outs'!!!

Carli and Justin are in their high school choir so I went to their end of the year concert last week.

When Carli came out she happened to be positioned right in front of one of the microphones. She proceeded to sing her group's 3 songs as loud as she could and lets just say that she doesn't have a lot of fluctuation in her voice, but boy, was she getting into it! My mom was dying, but we all got a good laugh out of it!!!

We took the boys to the beach last week and let them run around and play in the sand. It was such a beautiful day and not very crowded at all- just the way we like it!

Jake and Nate had fun burrying Jon in the sand and then jumping on top of him when there was nothing he could do about it!

We tried to fly a kite, but it was broken and despite all of Jon's attempts at fixing it, it never really took flight!

I finally captured Max smiling on camera. Look at those cheeks and dimples!

Christy and I took the kids to storytime yesterday. The story lady was doing face paintings, but the first little boy decided that he wanted a snake on his arm. So of course every kid after that then wanted a snake on their arm! Laney and Nathan were pretty proud of their snakes!

Last night our ward had a Hoedown and it was so much fun. We left the kids at home (except for Max who slept the whole time), ate good food and square danced the night away!

Overall, life is good!
