Kangaroo Zoo

A few weeks ago my Mom Jill, Amber, Zack and I took the kids to Kangaroo Zoo and they all loved it! I was worried that Hailey would have a hard time keeping up with Braxton but her little legs never stopped moving!! If there was a slide to go down that was pretty high to climb Braxton would just get behind her a push her little butt all the way to the top!!! Both kids slept 12 hours that night! So if you are trying to find a fun place to take your kids ( since mother nature still thinks it is winter) I would suggest Kangroo Zoo!! We will be returning there soon!

Winter SUCKS!! But Magformers don't

With two little kids that can't go outside unless it is over 50 degrees Winter months are very boring! So one night when I was watching QVC ( YES I watch QVC because Zack works Late some night and I can't sleep until he gets home) Anyway!!
They had these really cool magnets that were called MAGFORMERS! So Braxton and Hailey both got a set from Santa for Christmas! I knew that they would like them but I was not thinking that they both would spend countless hours playing with them! Not only do they love them but ever adult that comes to my house seems tp love them also! So if you are looking for a new toy to pass winter days I would go to QVC and check them out! Plus I love to take a bag of them with us when we go out to eat and my kids just sit at the table and build with them while we wait for our food!

WHEN ALLREDS CAME TO VISIT!!

It has been really hard to have Jamie and her family living so far away!! It had been over a year since we had seen them so we spent everyday that we could with them!
My sisters and I get together every tuesday so it was so good to have us all there for the first time in forever!

We had a white elephant dinner, where everyone brings a dinner in a paper bag and we pick numbers to see what dinner you picked ( everyone who knows me well knows that I am very picky of what I eat So I was stressed out about picking something gross like chinesse food or something) Luckly my wonderful sister Jill went and got a sandwhich from Jasons deli and magically I ended up with it:)


We spent a lot of time at my parents just hanging out with them and talking! Hailey and Olivia warmed up to each and started playing really cute together! I am so sad that they are gone now, But so happy that we will see them in April for bryces wedding!!

9TH GRADE ( was this really 12 years ago)

HAPPY BITHDAY ZACK ( on weds the 14)

Zack turned 28 on weds and that means that he is two years away from 30! I am so thankful to have Zack in my life! He's the most amazing father to our kids, they love him so much!! You look at zack and think that he is this tough guy, but all it takes is one of my kids to ask him pleaseeeeeeeeeee about anything and he gives them whatever they want! He would do anything for anyone! I honestly think that my family likes him more then me and if they had to choose between us he would win! He is the strongest person I know not just physically but mentally too! We love him so much and I don't know what I would do without him!

BRYCE IS ENGAGED!!!

We are so excited for Bryce, he has found an amazing girl and we can't wait for Aimee and Kassidy to be apart of our crazy family!  We love you guys!!!
