Philly Zoo

First things first... ya I am riding a CAMEL! Maddex saw these kids riding a camel and he wouldn't let it go! We walked the entire Zoo and yes he like the animals but he just kept saying "After the (whatever we were looking at) are we going to ride the camel?" Thank goodness it was only 6 bucks so as you can see by his HUGE smile he loved it!

It was very stinky and very uncomfortable and BIG! It was kinda intimidating.

This dang goose wouldn't leave us alone he kept trying to eat Jett's pretzel out of his hand. Jett kept looking at me and saying "Whoa!" He is so cute! (Jett! Not the goose of course)

Checking out the giraffes!

This manly gorilla was sitting right next to the glass just chowing down on some cardboard pizza boxes. He was so big and kinda freaked me out cuz he would look you right in the eye!

This 13 year old new daddy orangutan was so cute he kept playing peek a boo with that green blanket. Maddex thought he was way funny! His wife and new baby were tucked away resting!

This is at the Barnyard Petting Area and Jett was not so sure about all the animals running around, he stayed pretty close to his daddy.

Maddex of course LOVED this and got to brush the goats.

Jett and Tyler checking out the sheep and more goats, Jett did not leave Tyler's side it was pretty cute!

Me and Jett pretend feeding the ducks, this duck actually tried to eat my wedding ring! If he would have succeeded we would have had roast duck for dinner! Jett held onto my pant leg every time a duck came close to us, it is so funny how different he and Maddex are.

Maddex chase the ducks all over the place! He would lure them to him and then jump at them to scare them. He is ALL boy!

Needles to say the Philly Zoo was pretty fun we got to see some animals I have never seen before and that was way fun for us! I love making memories with my family and watching my kids faces when they are learning and growing from the experiences they have!

So one of my life long dreams was to attend a MLB game, and for Mother's day my sweet and incredible husband made that dream come true! IT WAS A BLAST! I smile the entire game I teared up a bit when I walked to the bleachers behind home plate! I couldn't belive how HUGE the stadium was and the atmosphere was in a word... BASEBALL! It was the best mother's day and it will be hard to top!


Big statue that Maddex thought was way cool!

Up high so you can see the whole field!

Behind home plate!

Family pic behind home plate!

The Phillie Phanatic! I was in pure bliss the whole day!

Playground by our apartments, super fun!

The road trip from Idaho to Philly was not to bad the boys did really well and it was fun to see the countryside!

How did our parents do it without DVD players? Honestly we would never have made it!

Summer Plans!

So since our planning was just a way for Heavenly Father to say uh na uh I am in charge! So now our plans are to go with a few friends to sale security systems for the summer in Philadelphia! And here we are! We love the expiances we have had and continue to have, the east coast is completly different (they really should have split our country in to the west and east) but surprisinly friendly. Tyler is working hard everyday and continues to surprise me and people around him with his ambition and abilities! He is incredible and I am very lucky! So wish us luck! And we will see you in September!

February

Jett got a heart attack in February! Hahah on Valentines day! He sadly did not feel good most of the month of Feb he got a cold and then got 3 more teeth so it was a long month for him.

While grandma and grandpa were in Hawaii we decided to build a fort in the front living room. Maddex thought that this was so cool. He brought his pillow and his animals in and just played it was great!

Jett on the other hand was not a fan, mostly I think becouse Maddex would block the exits so he couldn't get in and then once in he couldn't figure out how to get out. Do you like the snot in his nose, ya sorry about that!

This is my best friend Chelsea's little boy Keaton, her family is moving to JAPAN!!!! So we have been getting together a ton and the boys really like spending time with their little buddy!

Aren't they just the cutest kids! Keaton is only 4 months older than Jett so they have a lot of fun exploring together!

January

January was a cold and snowy month but that just meant more fun for the boys. My dad has a four wheeler and the kids LOVED sledding behind it!

We finally go to play in the snow! Dax and Maddex look pretty cute in their snow clothes!


My Mom and I got gift certificates to a spa so we decided to get pedicures together. She left for Hawaii a few days after she got hers, I was a little jealous!!!

Isn't my mom pretty! She is a great person and I love her very much, even if we drive eachother nuts sometimes!

Yes that is Tyler with Maddex in his arms! I know I know we are crazy parents but hey Maddex loves it and he is not afraid of anything!

We visited Tyler's grandma and she has horses that are so beautiful and nice. Maddex was giddy about them!

Jett's eyes were even bigger than they usually are (which is pretty huge)! He wasn't so sure about them until Daddy took him over and let him touch them. Then he just keep going hehehhehehe and pointing.

Here Comes Santa

Our ward was able to have Santa come to the ward party and Maddex was more than excited! Santa walked past us and Maddex jumped from his chair ran to him grabbed his hand and hugged it so tight. Then when he sat on his lap he asked Santa for some trucks and some transformers! Thank goodness Santa was able to find those things for him. Jett on the other hand was a little bit more contained. He didn't cry but he was ready to get to Momma again.
I will have more Christmas pictures soon.

Birthday Days

As some of you may know my boys are 2 years and one day apart so Maddex's birthday is December 8th and Jett's is the 9th! So this year we had a BIG party! We had presents, a Transformer Pinata, and cake and ice cream it was a BLAST!! Jett really love opening his gifts Maddex has a serious wack at his pinata and literally craped his pants which was hilarious that he hit it that hard but sad cuz he just started crying. Then we had our Cakes Maddex had a Transformer cake with Optimus Prime and he LOVED it! Jett's cake was a basketball and he DOVE into it! It was so much fun and we want to thank everyone who came and shared their birthdays with them!

Since none of the kids were able to break the pinata, they were able to pull these strings and then the candy came out!

He loved his little hat!

YAY!!!
