Going to the Zoo

My family came down for there spring break last week and we went to the zoo. Here are some fun pictures.

I thought this monkey was pretty cool. They were so close to us we could almost touch them. They call this the dinosaur. It's actually a pretty crazy animal. It's tongue is very poisonous.

Just a few fun pictures.

Mom and Anna.

So Amber is running 5mph oh so fast! I thought this was a funny thing to have at the zoo. Oh so cute!

All my siblings except Jamie and Natalie. It's fun to have us all together...

Doesn't she look so excited to be there, she was just tired, she slept through most of it. But I think she still enjoyed it.

3 cute kids!!!

Some fun pictures of Anna

Anna's 1st attempt at eating with a spoon... what a funny experience. She screamed (well cried) for 3 hours after this experience. Anna's 1st Carousel ride.

Hiking with Mom, actually this was really fun. I hope Zach and I do this often with her, she loves being outside and slept most of the time. Every time I stopped for a break she'd wake up as if to say hey you quit moving, get a move on...gosh so demanding lol.

Anna Rolled Over

It was so much fun watching Anna roll over for the 1st time! I couldn't believe it! She actually did it on Thursday the 25th but she's only done it one other time since then. She'll get the hang of it sometime but I think it just startled her. I was so excite though.
I'll have to post some pictures sometime of our adventure to the zoo and also of hiking but Zach's using the computer that has all the pictures on it.

We just took Anna to the Doctor Monday March 15th and she is 10 pounds 2 ounces. She's so little. She's in the 5th percentile for weight and 25th for height. She is doing very well though. She didn't like the shots too much but who would right? The Doctor wants me to start her on rice cereal now and in my mind I was thinking oh I won't start anything for a while. But I think the Doctor thinks she needs more calories and he said that she doesn't get enough iron just by breast milk. Well either way it will be a big change for me cause I'm so use to just feeding her myself. Zach says he's excited to watch her face when she eats. How time flies, I can't believe that she's 4 months old!!!!

Fun Pictures

Studying with Daddy

Andrea is holding Addyson and Jamie is holding Anna. They are going to be such good friends!
This just makes me smile...
Me and my cute little smile!


So I just thought that I'd add some of my favorite pictures I've taken of Anna lately! We are so blessed to have her in our home. She loves to talk and make all kinds of noises. She does this grunting thing when she's really tired as she's drifting off to sleep, honestly it really makes me laugh. I need to get it recorded cause seriously it's an Anna special.
Zach has been busy busy busy with 16 credit hours at ASU, driving school busses, going to do respite care with me at Kitty and Kevin's and also being the 1st counselor in the young men's presidency which also makes him the varsity scout coach. I know he loves all that he does and he really has such a great attitude about it all. It's crazy because a few years ago I felt like that was me. I was always on the run and now I stay home with Anna all the time. It has been a lot of fun but there are those times I miss just getting in the car and going where ever I want when ever I want. But nothing can replace the joy that it has been to have a sweet baby in our home. I'm also going to be watching Brightlie Reidhead while her Mom teaches one dance class at a Hendrix Junior High School for a few hours Mon-Fri. Anna and Brightlie aren't quite sure what to do with each other yet but they'll get use to it over time I think.

Anna laughing

So Anna's new favorite thing is when we take her clothes off to give her a bath. The other night Zach got her to laugh and we caught a little bit of it!

Valentines Day fun

Paul and Kristi invited us over for dinner on Valentines day and we took some pretty cute pictures of Brightlie and Anna!
