Zoo Fun

*This post contains LOTS of pictures*

While Julie was in town we went to the zoo and met up with a few others that we went to High School with and their families. It was a blast and Julie bought our girls matching shirts, so cute! Julie's cousin came with us and we were SO glad that she did. She helped out so much and allowed us to visit while not worrying about where the kids were off to. It was good to see such old friends and be able to visit. So, 7 years, 3 spouses, 8 kids and 1 on the way later we were FINALLY able to be in the same place at the same time.

A Madagascar Hissing Cockroach; the kids got to touch and hold it if they wanted to. I don't think we had any takers on the holding part though, gross.

All of our children except for two, who were sleeping at the time.

Birthdays

Two of my favorite people had their birthdays this week and I was lucky enough to have them in the same house at the same time. Clint's birthday was Tuesday and we didn't do much to celebrate due to the fact that he had school and work. Monday Clint, Julie and I stayed up late playing Clint's favorite game, Settlers of Catan and Seafarers of Catan. Then on Friday was Julie's birthday and Clint was nice enough to stay home with all the kids so we could enjoy a girls day out. We went shopping, to see Eclipse and out to lunch. Later that night we went out for shakes and played more Settlers. I am so grateful for these two people in my life. They have helped me change and grow so much and really what would a girl do without a great girlfriend in her life?!

Bear Lake

Over the fourth my family went to Bear Lake where we were able to EVERYONE. It was so great to see my brothers and their families. It has been 4 years since we were all together and the kids had a blast together. We kayaked, ate yummy food, the kids went swimming, built sand castles and then watched the kids destroy them and went to the park. We had a great time!

7 months

For all of you that I don't see, here is a pic of what I look like 7 months preg.

A busy month

There are so many things I need to blog about but I don't have much time right now to do it all so here is a preview of what's to come.
