Today I'm grateful my parents decided to stay over one more night because I love having their help and my kids love their attention!

Also, my house stays a lot cleaner with them around!

We will miss them when they leave!

Double blessings (I can't pick just one)

Today I'm grateful to finally get all 4 of my kids in the same picture frame (I think its been since Christmas).


Also I'm grateful for chocolate. Expecially dark chocolate. Happy Birthday to me, again. We like to drag birthday's out for at least a week.


Honestly, I think I could tunnel right through the rest of this cake!

The Zoo

Yesterday we took my parents to the Logan zoo. It was the first time we'd been this summer. It's not much, but the kids love it and its cheap so we go a lot. It was really fun to see the girls run from one favorite animal to the next.

Libby loved the monkeys and ducks. Good thing because most of what they have are ducks.


Sara the one time she actually paused long enough for me to take a picture.


Anne had to make a list of all the animals we saw. Sometimes I just can't get over how smart she is. That may just be my biased opinion though, maybe.


Truman chillin in the stroller, mellow as ever.


Looking at the tortise. Their favorite.
