The Zoo-April 30, 2010

So now that i am not voting every night (that was only my excuse for the past 2 months) because my brothers-in-law won their grant we were all voting for! YEAH!!! I figured, if i could make that much time to vote, i need to make more time to blog. So i am not going to go in order or try to catch up on everything, but i am just going to get in what i can. So, here are the pics from when i went with AJ on his field trip to the zoo. I was excited to be able to go, especially because i couldn't last year since they went on May 1st or something and i was afraid i would have a baby at the zoo! So we went this year on a nice spring day..ok, not "nice" exactly. Notice the kids are in winter jackets and some are all bundled up! It was really cold and wet but it didn't actually rain while we were there. But we had fun anyway and got some great pics of the animals-some up close!

Wow! ONE year!!!

ONE!

I CANNOT believe that my baby is 1. I sound like such an old person talking about how fast the time goes, but it is so true! I know i am TERRIBLE about posting, but, SERIOUSLY, it is her 1st birthday! So i decided to step it up today and just get it done. (Even if the birthday girls is yelling at me while i do it! :)!!!)

So, I dropped Julia off at preschool and decided to have a quick photo shoot with the birthday girl and our tulips. So here she is: TA-DA!!! She is SO dang cute, i can't even stand it!!! :) (OK, so i am a little biased, but it IS true!!!) I love the tongue sticking out-what a Jenson! The fuzzy is

I love the tongue sticking out-what a Jenson!

The fuzzy picture is not a great quality pic, but a perfect representation-she is IN ACTION!

Look at her kneeling-she is SO proud of herself (I can't believe how strong she is!)

I love the cheesy grin!

I am so proud of how well she is walking. Just this week she has made that transition to preferring to walk instead crawl. Although, she does drop to all fours and take off on a mission when necessary!

Of course, Julia had to get in on the photo op this morning, but such a cute picture. I am so excited for my girls that they have a sister. I don't know what i would do without mine!!! And (assuming that Amy survives childhood with Julia as a big sister) i hope they always love each other like they do know...or more!

AJ was at school during these pix-i'll have to get him represented later!

An Easter Miracle!!!

This is it--a new post IS the miracle!!! It's about time, ya think?!?!?!

So this is actually this past Sunday. We didn't go to church ON easter Sunday because it was General Conference. So I put them all in their "easter clothes" a week later! But, I must say...they are pretty DANG cute!!! (and, can i note that we FINALLY have a cute front yard. I LOVE That our daffodils have bloomed and our tulips are getting close!!!)

How FREAKIN' cute are these Kiddo's!!! This is them right before they got to look for their jelly beans that the Easter Bunny hides. They are a little excited!!!

And, after they find their Jelly Beans, they get their baskets...YUM!!!

YAY for Easter. It is so much fun. It was a little sad for AJ because he could hardly eat any of his candy because of his tonsils (or actually his LACK of tonsils!) but the peeps were ok and he has since made up for lost time and has less candy left than his sisters!!!
