Fun at the ZOO!

So on Saturday we went to the zoo! It was fun to go, I haven't been in a really long time! We went with my sister Chantel and her family! Gabe liked looking at the animals, but his favorite animal was the meercat! It was funny- he would chase them up and down the glass. Then they would stop right in front of him and he would laugh! Jon took him for a ride on the carosel, that didn't go so well, lucky for us though, we got a few pictures where he looked semi-happy!


Jon and Gabe were in this little thing where you could see the rhino's up close- I thouhgt this was cute of them together!

Always happy after eating (like every man!)j/k

We took him to get a drink in the lion drinking fountain, yeah, he was terrified! It was so funny. Even after watching me and his cousin Cruze drink out of it, he wouldn't have anything to do with it!

The Great Outdoors!

This past weekend we went camping with some friends. It was so nice to be away. I think that it was Gabes first time camping. He did really well. We got there late in the evening and Jon got a fire going. Gabe just sat there on my lap staring at it! I then noticed that he was smacking himself in the head! He wasn't used to the heat from the fire! But he just smiled the whole time. The next day we went 4 wheelin'. We took a belt and wrapped it around Gabe and I so that he couldn't slip off. I was worried that he would be scared, but he wasn't. We came upon this toyota 4runner that almost rolled. He wasn't the smartest, but he sure is lucky. With some help he was able to get his car from rolling and back on the road. When we got back, the girls fixed lunch. I snapped this funny picture of the 3 guys relaxin'. Gabe was just totally into this little water bottle. It was cute. We finally had to come home- I wish that we could have stayed longer, but that's life!

Perfect Pedicure!

I love when I can have a break and do something relaxing for me! Well this weekend- some of my friends came and picked me up on Saturday and took me to breakfast and to get pedicures for my birthday! It was so nice and we were all excited to go. Breakfast was great and so we headed off to get our pedicures. They were scheduled at a place in Ogden called Perfectly Polished! By the name it sounds cute and like things will be great. So to make a long story short- here we go! We walked in and I think that we were all looking around for the nice massage chairs with the attached foot baths, and we couldn't seem to find them. Next thing we know we look up to see the workers carrying out foot baths (Like the kind that you buy at Walmart!) I almost wet myself trying not to laugh! The first lady looked quite manish and totally freaked me out ( not the typical salon junkie type if ya know what I mean!) So when the other ladies said someone can come down here, I jumped at the chance! My Lady told me to go pick my polish, so I did. That meant that I had to go down by the She-man. She-man had turned on the foot bath for my friend whose feet she was doing, and the bubbles were going out of control. Seriously!She-man was freaking out- So the other girl that was doing my other friends feet ran over and started spraying disinfectant on the bubbles. Yeah- they went down! So for the whole time bubbles were out of control- my friend was getting disinfected as well! My lady was fine- but she was letting her 3 year old son help rub my feet- which was a little freaky! I knew that the scrubby tools weren't new for us and that grossed me out- My other friend will probably get a foot fungus from the scrubby thing that was used on her! We probably should have turned around right after we walked in- but ya know- we were giving it the benefit of the doubt! So if you see me and my feet have been removed- just give me a hug and tell me that "everything will be alright!" It was honestly hilarious- the girls that were giving us pedicures were really nice-(even She-man), but come on- even they have to admit that it is a little ghetto inside! So.. moral of the story, if things seem a little off at the beginning of your next pedicure...RUN! (Thanks Sundee for a memorable and funny birthday!)

Jon wanted me to put pictures of our horses on here! I think that he was a little torqued that I haven't talked about them yet! Probably because I am scared of them! Ha! Ha! He always tells me not to act scared when I am around them, but it's kind of hard to do that when you really are scared! Maybe someday I'll be the cowgirl of his dreams! Yee-haw! (I do like the boots though!)

No, it's not a RAT!

This is our little dog, Buck! We have had him for almost two years. We had been trying for a while to have kids with no luck. Jon is also gone hunting in the fall a lot. So we decided to get me a guard dog! He sure looks mean! All 3lbs of him!

Almost ready!

We will be able to finalize everything with our adoption on August 14th! We are so excited. After that is done we will be able to go to the temple with Gabe! Time has just flown by and we can hardly wait!

Isn't Life Wonderful!

Wow- life is just flying by. Cut me a little slack as I have never done this before! We (Jon & I) have been married for almost 4 years. We just adopted a little boy at the beginning of this year. He is so freakin' adorable. His name is Gabe! Pretty much life for me has just been crazy the last little while- but it is great! Jon is always keeping himself busy. Either with work or dreaming up where he is going to be hunting for this fall! I think if he had it his way he would hunt all day, every day! We have our usual bumps in the road, but other than that-life is wonderful!
