Hogle Zoo June 2008

What a perfect day for the zoo! In between days of blazing hot weather today was overcast with the chance of rain. Luckily for us, there was no rain. We had so much fun with Rachel, MacKay, Hunter and Sydney.

The boys had so much fun finding out where the animals came from. Mitchell and Austin were so good at keeping track of Abbie! They always made sure she could see what was going on.

I do not think the Cheetah liked Austin very much! Is he in the Cheetah's personal space?

The Cheetah is planning for his lunch menu! "BBQ Mitchell!?!"

Sweet's Candy Factory

Today we went to the Sweet's Candy Factory! When the boys are off track for school we try to find fun things to do. They look very stylish in their hair nets!

Sarah, Tate, Lincoln, Sally and their nanny Noelle; Rachel, MacKay, Hunter and Sydney; Anna, Mitchell, Austin, Abigail and Sadie all came. It was cute that even Sally, Lincoln and Sadie had to wear hair nets also. All of the kids were excited that everyone got to take home a bag of candy!

Memorial Day 2008!

Since it was raining outside Charley, Tate and Abbie decided to take a warm bath instead of swimming outside in the pool!

They had fun pouring water on eachothers head and splashing water all over the place.


"Tate you are so gorgeous!"

"I love my twin cousin Tate!"

"I kissed Tate!!!"

Sidewalk Chalk!

Mitchell and Austin had fun teaching Abbie how to draw with sidewalk chalk. They loved it until Abbie wanted to draw on what they were drawing!

Before doing chalk I asked Austin to get Abbie a big shirt for her to wear. I think it is so cute that he put his football shirt on her! She looks gorgeous!

Mitchell loves to play with Abbie! He is showing her how to be a great artist!

Abbie reminds me of Steve's little girl Lily in this picture! She wears baseball caps and football shirts also!

Having fun on bikes!

On Sunday, May 25 after church the kids decided to go outside and ride bikes. It has been raining for days so they were so excited to be able to play outside!

The boys drew bike paths on the sidewalk so they knew which way the traffic was supposed to go. Abbie loves to play with her brothers and do what they do!

Discovery Gateway May 23, 2008

Tate and Abbie love playing at Discovery Gateway! They played in the 3 and under area for a long time. It is nice since there are not very many kids in this area.

They didn't figure out that you have to start rowing to move!

Austin is so cute with Abbie! They love seeing the paper fly in the air.

Is there anything better than Legos? Abbie's people are sleeping in the window sill!

Twins!?!

Abbie at 7 months old!

Sadie at 8 months old!

Trevor and I just saw this picture and could not believe how much Abbie and Sadie look alike. Abbie was a bit more chuncky. They both have very similar facial expressions in many pictures. These two pictures make them look like they could be twins!
