All American FUN Week-End!

It was an all American FUN week-end full of outside time... time with Mi-Ma...time with Billy Idol... time with each other!  This week-end was FUN, FUN, FUN! 

Billy Idol looked amazing for probably being 60!  He sang our favorite songs too!  And... no one was dancing with themselves! Hee-Hee! We literally danced the entire time! Great time with the hubs and super fun friends!  Thanks to Mi-Ma for babysitting!

Doesn't everyone wear ear covers while doing "pops"? We finally figured we might have a chance at watching a few fireworks this year if we try the ear covers.  We are so silly... but anything for our Mallory and William! Actually, my kids are just like me... I use to sit and look at the fireworks through my aunt's window every 4th.  Today... even though I told the twins what the funfetti popper did, William ran in the house crying.  Yes, he had the ear covers on... we hugged it out and talked some more.  2 minutes later... he wanted to help me pull the string.  New things are scary, we just continue to try and love, love, love! It was super cute because later on they both told me... Mommy and Daddy will always keep us safe! Kinda cracks me up... it was just pops and  funfetti poppers.  Awwwww! Adorable! 

No "Lion", The Zoo Was Grrrreat!

Today, Cousin Matt joined us at the zoo!  We really had a grrrrrreat time!  The lion cubs were so darn cute and playful! It was our favorite animal of the day!  Although Mallory said that the zebra was her favorite today! (See the last picture... :)

This gorilla was just chillin'! The other gorilla further down the way was pounding the glass.  Even though you know it might happen, it continues to startle us! 

William and Mallory are quite the pair!

Can you see the zebra through the fence... so cute!

What a beautiful day at the zoo!!! 

Continuing Our Summer Fun!

We love to swim... and who doesn't bring a compass and 3 babies to swimming lessons?! We do!  (William has the compass... he knows how his Mommy gets lost!)

 William and Mallory love to play outside!  Our favorite things to do besides swimming... baseball and bikes!

We also got to babysit Miss Lisa's baby this week! Oh, how we love to play and snuggle with Baby Reed!

As a family, we all went to Kristin's "Welcome Home from Honduras" Party! It's so great to see her home safe and sound.  She has been teaching 2nd grade in Honduras for a year... what an incredible teacher and friend!

 Getting ready for Kindermusik... posing for Mommy!

Then... my life long best friend, Kelly, had her 3rd son yesterday!  Joseph entered into one amazing family! I just couldn't get enough of holding this baby boy sweetheart tonight!

Look at this beautiful family! So happy for the Lawler's!!!!

Happy 42nd Birthday, Daddy!

Happy 42nd Birthday to the best husband and Daddy in the whole wide world!  I continue to feel VERY blessed to have such an amazing provider, care-taker, and best friend! 

  

 Mallory and William helped me pick out Daddy's cookie design... so perfect for Daddy!

So... as soon as we opened presents and showed Daddy his dessert for later, we were off to the movies!  Today we went to see Monsters University!  It's always fun when it's family!

Finally, the day ended with swimming in the backyard, popsicles, and dinner with Mi-Ma, Matt & Steve!

We LOVE you, Daddy!!!

Come On A Safari With Us!

Today we returned to the Wildlife Safari Park and took our buddy, Tanner! We also met with with Miss Lisa, Cooper, Brooklyn, and Reed!  Thanks for the fun and ride, Miss Lisa!  It was so adorable to see all the little faces once they spotted the animals! 

Looking for the wolves at Wolf Canyon!

Here's at least one wolf... can you sorta see it?  We only saw two today... one white and one black.

Mallory and William love the White Bison best...

It was just too gorgeous outside not to have a picnic with these cuties!

 William is looking for "Bison boogers"!

I truly hope summer never ends... these days are just too good!
