Hogle Zoo

Today we took a trip to the city to go to the zoo. The weather was GREAT and the animals were all out enjoying the sunshine. It was the perfect time to go because their weren't very many people there. Kade loved the snakes, elephants, and monkeys and Tyce loved riding on the carousel and eating lunch. We had a really fun day......and I got to try out my new double jogging stroller (thanks KSL). Wahoo for the zoo!!

Hello Sunshine

The weather down here in Good Ole E-County has been FABULOUS. It has been so nice to be able to spend the afternoon outside instead of in the house making a mess. Everyday after school we spend hours jumping on the tramp, riding bikes, playing in the mud, and swinging on the swing set. It's even better when Tylee and Kelsey come and play with us.

This nice weather makes me want to go camping SO bad.

Good Bye 10 lbs

About 2 weeks ago I decided that enough was enough and that I NEEDED to lose weight. I have eliminated all sugar, milk, treats, pop, ect. from my diet and have already lost 10lbs!! I am so excited. I already feel so much better and I can't wait until I lose 10 more.

Hiking

Today we went on a hike up to a waterfall near Joes Valley Reservoir. It was such a nice day and the waterfall was awesome. Tyce weights about 26 lbs so packing him was quite the chore.....Thank goodness my mom and my sister spelled me a few times or I wouldn't have made it.

Portraits

Here are Kade and Tyce's latest portraits. They didn't turn out as well as I would have liked, but they will do. They look a lot alike don't they?

Ice Fishing

Ice fishing at Milsite was FREEZING. Kade had fun but Tyce was not having it! I ended up having to take him to the truck to get warm.

I did get a pictures of the chilly event before I spent the next few hours waiting in the truck with Tyce.

My boys

Looks like Tyce is having a ball

Kade loved fishing out of the icy hole. Too bad he didn't even get a bite!

So I just wanted to add some of my cool news. Christmas break is over so I had to go back to school (thats not the good news), but this kid signed up to do his student teaching under me which means that he will be taking over my classes in two weeks. Wahoo!! I kind of feel bad for him because I have a P.E. class from HELL!
