Lately...

I haven't blogged in awhile. We've been busy, sick and just plain lazy. Gotta love summer!

Zoo!

I can't remember if I put these pictures on the blog but if I did here they are again...

A few months ago we went to the zoo with my sister. We had a pass for a year and hardly used it. Sad, but the couple times we went it was really fun.
Photobucket
It was McKenna's first time. Both McKenna and Cameron were so good and stayed in the stroller.

Photobucket
Brooklynn's favorite is the giraffe's. Can't go to the zoo with out a picture with the giraffes.

Photobucket
Cam enjoyed all the dinosaurs. He thought it was so cool.

Photobucket
Brooklynn loves aunt Terra.

Photobucket
So does Cam.

Photobucket
They might fight, but they really love each other.

Photobucket
Me and my girls!

I had found this picture of my brother awhile ago and loved it. I wanted to take a picture of his oldest son Caleb. Originally I was just going to do him in the cowboy hat and gun and crop out the horse of Josh's picture, but my aunt had a horse and it turned out so cute.

Father's Day!
Photobucket
For Father's day we went swimming with my dad and also celebrated his birthday.

Photobucket
Cam stayed close to Ryan and he even let Ryan take him down the big slide.

Photobucket
McKenna and I got in the water a little bit, but she was content staying in the stroller.

Photobucket

The kids had a blast in the water. Usually Cameron hates swimming, but he acctually had fun.

Photobucket
Love this picture of Cameron. He was singing as he steered the ship.

Photobucket
Brooklynn loves water and I could barely get any pictures of her staying still.

Life Flight
Photobucket
Ryan started his new job with Life Flight and we went to visit him at work. The kids thought it was so awesome. They got to sit in the helicopter and asked Ryan all sorts of questions. Cameron kept asking "Where mote?" (where is the remote? He thought the monitor was a tv.) Since that day all Cameron talks about is helicopters. He thinks his daddy is the coolest! (I do too!♥)

Bryce Canyon Half Marathon
Photobucket
Ryan's dad got released awhile ago as bishop and decided he wanted to start running more. So they signed up for the Bryce Canyon Half Marathon. Ryan took a break this year from marathons and is just doing half marathons. Next year we are going to Boston so Ryan can do the Boston Marathon.

Photobucket
Our hotels were these cute little cabins and the racers passed right in front of our hotel about 6:45 am at the halfway point. The kids were still asleep and so I turned on the baby monitor and my mother-in-law and I went out front to cheer on some racers. Ryan passed us around 6:45 am and Ron was about 7:20 am. I checked on the kids and McKenna just woke up. So I went next door to the other room to feed the baby. All of the sudden on the baby monitor I heard Cameron's little voice. "BerBer! NO ONE HERE! BerBer!" Poor Cam was so confused. I ran back in the room to them. Not too long after Ryan and Ron came back. They both got their goal times. Ryan did 13.1 miles in 1 hour 18 minutes and Ron did his in 2 hours. They did awesome.

I have more pictures of Bryce Canyon, but I will save that for later.

Preschool Graduation

Photobucket
My little girl graduated from preschool. I can't believe how fast life is passing by. It is crazy. She loved preschool and loved her teacher Miss Amy. At the graduation there was a program and my favorite song was "A Tooty-ta"

Photobucket
"A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta-Ta... Thumbs up!"

Photobucket
"... Elbows back, Legs together, Knees apart! A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta-Ta..."

Photobucket
"... Bottoms up! A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta-Ta"

Photobucket
"...Tongues out! A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta-Ta"

Photobucket
"...Eyes closed, Turn around! A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta A-Tooty-Ta-Ta!"
Best song ever!

Photobucket
Berkie with Grandma Bean!

Photobucket
Brooklynn with Grandma and Grandpa Oldroyd!

Photobucket
Our little family! Afterwards we celebrated with the grandparents and got icecream at Cold Stone. Brooklynn got lots of new books to start reading as her gifts. We love you Brooklynn. You are so smart, talented, creative, have a love for learning and a zest for life!

Zoo

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago with my sister. It has been so long since I had taken the kids and they loved it.
Photobucket Brooklynn's all time favorite animal is a giraffe. Had to get a picture with the giraffes.


Photobucket AHHHHH! Don't eat me.

Photobucket


Photobucket McKenna was so good just hanging out in the stroller.


Photobucket Cameron did not want to sit on the elephant. It didn't help that right when I sat him on it the elephant spit out water with a big noise.


Photobucket Berkie and Terra watching the elephants.


Photobucket Cameron with Terra- we were almost done and he was so tired.


Photobucket My two kiddos. A day at the zoo.


Photobucket We love our baby McKenna!
