Zoorrasic Park at Hogle Zoo

We spent the afternoon at the zoo today. The weather was perfect! We had such a good time. Me, Jace, Garet, and Maddie rode with Aunt Laura and the babies and we met Aunt Jacci, Sophie, and Dawson at the zoo. I'm pretty sure we saw every single animal there was to see. We played on the playground, and we rode the train and the carousel.

Dylan did not like the carousel...

But Dawsie did!

Ice cream! Yay!

This was my ice cream cone. I think Brielle ate more of it then I did. She has a real sweet tooth!

"Natures Nightmare"...this is Maddie's scared face. haha

This was the little boys favorite. A water squirting dinosaur!
Front row of the train! They had it all planned out!

Cubs Baseball 2011

The Cubs have had a tough season this year but that isn't because they haven't tried their best and fought for every win or loss that they've had. Uncle Jeff is the coach and that has been tons of fun. I love watching my boys play ball!

Joking with the third base coach...aka...Dad.

Pitching a great inning


Here I think Kaleb is thinking: "I'm sure glad coach Dad isn't here because I'd probably have to stand up." haha

Easton is an awesome short stop

Play ball!

My GIGANTIC sized meal

We just spent a fun filled weekend in Vegas with two of our favorite people. We left Saturday around noon and got to our hotel around 6. We checked in, and while the boys got in a round of Craps, Jacci and I checked out the pool. It was so cold outside, but definitely not as cold as the weather we left. We went to find the boys so we could go to dinner. We drove up the strip and went to the MGM Grand to eat at the Rain Forest Cafe. The food was so yummy. When we got back to the car we realized we were REALLY out of gas! We were below the E and weren't sure how far we had driven like that. We coasted our way out of the MGM and made it to a gas station. Phew! We had some good laughs thinking about Jacci and I pushing the car down the strip.  Back at the hotel the boys headed to the Craps table while Jax and I headed to the beautiful hot tub. It was awesome...other than we froze to get in and once we hopped in we realized it was LUKE WARM! The pool attendant let us know that one of their heaters had just gone out. Awesome. We laughed and shivered all the way back to our hotel room. We woke up early Sunday morning and went to Treasure Island. Jacci and I had an appointment at the Spa. We spent an hour getting our legs and feet massaged. It was lovely. After lunch we went to get our tickets for our show and buffet. We drove back to the hotel and dropped of the boys, then we went shopping. Yay! We went back to the hotel and took a nap and then got ready for dinner. We ate at the Treasure Island buffet and then went to see Mystere. It was so good! I love Cirque de Soleil. Monday we woke up to sunny skies so we hurried off to the pool. We were worried it was going to be cold but were pleased when our sweaters were not needed. The sun felt AMAZING! We spent the whole morning reading by the pool. We met our hubbys for lunch and then went back to the pool for the rest of the afternoon. We both got a little too much sun but it was HEAVEN! After getting ready we went to the movie. (there was a big theatre in our hotel), we saw Source Code.  After the movie we went to dinner at Claim Jumper. It was yummy, but the portions were giant and could literally feed a GIANT. We woke up early Tuesday and drove home. We had so much fun! I think we laughed the whole time, got honked at by far too many taxi drivers, and the boys left with huge smiles on their faces and a little more change in their pockets! Thank you Jax and Cor for an AWESOME weekend! FRANKLY we couldn't have asked for a better time! :)
