Hogle Zoo with Grandpa and Grandma!

Anxiously awaiting to see the Hogle Zoo's new baby elephant.

Thrilled to be taking a photo with grandma and grandpa.

Colorado

Mark had the opportunity of a lifetime the first part of October. His friend, Quin Tran, from high school had tickets for them to go and see the Broncos play the Cowboys (Mark's favorite football team).

Mark flew over on Friday night so he had the chance to do some sight seeing while he was there. Quinn is in the air force so Mark was able to tour the base in Colorado Springs. Unfortunately cameras were not allowed so there are no pics but Mark said there were some really cool things there.

On Sunday was the day of the 'big' game. Mark really enjoyed seeing a live football game and he made it out without any incidences even though he was supporting the opposing team.

He cam home on Monday and the kids and I were so excited to see him. I definitely missed seeing him everyday and was glad that he had fun but even more excited that he was back home.

Hogle Zoo

Mark and I took the kids to the zoo on June 17 and I just realized I never posted any pictures. So here they are. Maleina's favorite was riding the carousel ride. She laughed the whole time. Tyler loved everything. In fact, we thought we would save the train ride for the end of the day. When we got done with the train Tyler said, "Can we please go through the zoo again I want to see everything again?" So we did the Hogle Zoo twice in one day. Tyler's favorite animal was the snow leopard.

Summer Time Fun!

Summer time is flying by way too fast for me. I am struggling sending Tyler to school all day in one month. I am so excited for him but I am going to miss my helper! I have uploaded some picture of what we have done this summer.
