ZOO LIGHTS!

A week or so ago we went with our good friends to Zoo Lights to celebrate Rob's new job! We have made it a family tradition to go see the lights at the zoo and I think this was our third year in a row! The boys loved it as always.

So excited to go in!

Say Cheese!

I love that most of the lights are animated!

I'm so glad we were able to keep the tradition going this year. It was great to finally get out and do something Christmasy with the boys.

LaGoOn!!!

This past Saturday we decided to take the boys to Lagoon. I have wanted to go all summer long and we scored some discount tickets and decided that we couldn't pass it up! Saturday turned out to be a perfect day for Lagoon. The forecast said it was supposed to be rainy and cold, but like usual, they were wrong and it was perfect~ mid 70's all day! The boys overall had a great time! Wesley had a scare right when we got there and I thought it had ruined him for the day. The first ride he rode started out great, but half way through he got spooked, and it took him awhile to warm up to the rides again.

This was the first time I have ever been to Lagoon without riding all the rides. Taking kids really changes the dynamic for having fun. Although I only got to ride a few rides here and there (most of them being kiddie rides), I had a lot of fun! I really enjoyed watching my boys having all the fun! Watching their faces light up and hearing their squeals made it all worth it!

It is hilarious to watch Wesley on the bumper cars...he just spins in circles!

It had been a couple of years since Rob and I had been to Lagoon, and there was a new ride that we hadn't been on before that was a family favorite! The Odyssea! Even Beckett was able to ride this ride and I think we rode it the most over any other ride! Wesley loved that the dolphins and shark would squirt him with water. He came off the ride giggling every time.

Beckett was all giggles as well! He looks so tiny!

This is how Beckett spent most of the day. If he wasn't on a ride, he was chowing down!

Later on in the day our good friends, the Arbuckles joined us! Wesley and his buddy Carter got to ride together on all the rides. They were in heaven!



It was a very LONG, but super fun day! I don't think we left the park until after 11pm! The boys were pretty well behaved. We only had a couple of incidents, including a pretty funny poop accident including Rob. If you want to hear the story, you'll have to ask me about it! I think Rob and I are going to head back to Lagoon again this weekend (thanks to bounceback!), without the kids and ride all the big kid rides. We can't wait!

It's been awhile...

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged. One of the main reasons is that I've been busy re-decorating our bedroom. (I will post pictures once we put the final touches up) Let's just say it turned out better than I could have hoped for! The boys and I are completely loving the beautiful weather we've been having! The park has been a home away from home. Other than that, our lives have been quite uneventful. I'm still running my butt off...(literally!) and Rob is still working hard. We don't see him as much as we would like, but we appreciate all he does for us! I had a great Mother's Day weekend. Rob spoiled me all weekend long. Friday I had beautiful flowers delivered, that night we went to dinner and a movie (we've been having bad luck with movies recently...don't go see Ghosts of Girlfriends Past...two thumbs down!!!), Saturday I was able to fit in a run, go tanning, and just relax, and Sunday was spent with good company and great food!

I know this post is kind of random, but I wanted to post some cute pictures of the boys. A week or so ago we went to the zoo with some friends. I didn't get any pictures of the boys with any animals, but did take pictures of them at the playground. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time!

gelato, good music, baseball, and great company!

This weekend was a lot a fun. I love summer time. It seems like we do something fun all weekend long. I guess it is easier for us to put projects off to enjoy the nice weather. On Friday night we decided to eat at a new Italian Cafe in Jordan Landing. We had discovered their delicious gelato a couple of weeks ago and decided to try out their food. It was pretty good, but their gelato is still my favorite thing there. They always have 2 flavors of sorbetto that are sugar free fat free and they are fantastic! They definitely fit into our healthy eating lifestyle. After dinner we dropped the boys off at Rob's parents and went and saw Jon Schmidt play at the Sandy Amphitheater. It was such a nice night. We saw a beautiful sunset and the weather was perfect! There was a guy named Jon Troast that opened for Jon Schmidt and he was fantastic! We ended buying both of his albums. His music had a Jack Johnson feel to it. It was a very relaxing night. Thanks to Rob for planning a fun date. Then on Saturday we went to the Bees game with a bunch of our friends. Thanks to Tara and Jeff, we had a great time watching very little baseball and visiting with some of our bestest friends. Thanks for a great night!

Unfortunely our camera battery died after taking two pictures at the game, so I didn't get any pictures of our other friends that were there. Sorry guys!
