The Living Planet Aquarium & PIZZA!

The Living Planet Aquarium..... Today we headed to the aquarium. The kids had so much fun looking at all the animals at the aquarium

See how excited she is!

Wow, look at those!

Mary got to pet the sting ray

checking out the turtle

3 penguins

one supper cute "penguin"

they were "chopping up" the fish as they swam by... not sure where that idea came from, but thats what they said they were doing

I think that fish is as big as she is

What a QT!!

Gotta do the photo booth at the end of the aquarium!

5 goof balls

the girls!

After the aquarium we headed to Chuck E Cheese for some pizza and more fun

this sweet little girl ate more pizza than each of the boys did... in fact she ate as much as the two boys put together! I think the boys were too exited to go play all the games to worry about eating much

CHEESE!

Hanging out with Auntie!!

We had such a great time getting to hang out this weekend with the cousins! Thanks for coming up to visit us!!!

She loved the frogs!

She loves to dance!

I know there are tons of pictures of Ashley on these posts.... but we could barely get the boys to hold still long enough to get pictures of them.... and this little girl was getting pretty good at saying "Cheese" for the camera... so there you go :-)

The Zoo.... yes again

This weekend Mary, Scotty and Ashley came up to visit us and to go have some fun. First we went to the zoo.... these kids LOVE the zoo!!

3 Amigos

Mary, Ashley, Scotty and Chris

So Chris took over the camera for a little while and here are the pictures he took

2 shots of the porcupine

I think there is a snake in here somewhere

a little tortoise

Scotty and the Cavy kissing thru the glass... pretty darn cute! (No Chris didn't take this one)

The kids and Mary actually spent about 6.5 hrs at the zoo! I unfortunately had to go to work for about 3 of the hours, so I didn't get to have as much fun as they did, but I still love going to the zoo with the kids.

The Hogle zoo has a Dinosaur thing going on, and they have a new room full of dino fossils and facts, and there are some new animated dinosaurs all around the zoo. These two happen to spit water out at the zoo goers. The boys thought it was pretty darn fun.... Ashley was not interested what so ever in the dinosaurs.

Days of 47 Rodeo

Chris and I went to the Days of 47 Rodeo on the "Tough Enough to Wear Pink Night". Chris LOVES getting to wear is "tuff enuff..." shirt! He was a big hit at the rodeo this night, and he got two new Breast Cancer awareness bandanas this night, so we had to make ways for him to wear them.

Cutest lil cowboy!!

Tough Enough to Wear Pink

Chris really wanted this picture, and he took it himself, so I felt it deserved to be put on here. He's turning into quite the little photographer.

Chris' favorite bronc rider....Cody Wright!!!

Us after the rodeo

Mommy's tuff little cowboy!

Salt Lake City Bees

On Sunday we went to the Salt Lake Bee's game. This is the first time I've taking Chris to see the baseball team. We took the UTA trax up to the stadium, this is the first time he's ridden on trax with me. I think he had fun.

Mommy and Me

a bit of motion

We sat out on the grass past left field, this way the kids could run around and play

It started to rain a bit to hard for us to stay out on the lawn, so we moved up under some cover, the view from our new seats

a nice little rainbow we got

Chris and his new friend Abby running around playing

We had a good time, not so sure the kids watch much, if any of the game. But it's fun to get out and do some fun things with friends.... and the Bee's won the game in the 10th inning.

Living Planet Aquarium

We renewed our membership to the Living Planet Aquarium. Chris has such a great time going to the Aquarium. He has asked several times: "When do we get to go back to the Monterey Bay Aquarium?" Oh how I wish we could get back there again soon.... someday we'll get back there again I'm sure.

getting to pet a crested gecko

it actually felt soft!

he figured out to turn his hat around when he looked into the tanks so that he wouldn't bonk it anymore

Lil Fishing boat captain

So we actually went back to the aquarium the next day too.... he really wanted to go again, and we have a membership and we were running errands near the aquarium, so what the heck we went again.

Almost as big as a penguin

hanging out by some BIG fish

Piranas!!!
