Just Because ...

A Day at the Zoo

We had a great trip to the zoo today. We got there early, well, for us it was early and the weather was perfect.

Emery and Grandma Lola playing with Emery's favorite thing - water!
Makayla's feet got tired and Emery refused to be in her stroller so Makayla took advantage of it and got a free ride for a while.
Myself, Quinlan and Emery. Emery wasn't quite sure what she thought of me holding another baby. At one point, she moved my hand so I wasn't touching Quinlan - too cute!

Pool Day

We met up with my family this afternoon at the Cottonwood Heights pool. I had never been there, but I have a feeling we will be going again very soon. Emery loved being outside, being in the pool and watching all of the other kids around. I don't have many pictures since we were off playing the whole time, but here are a few quick one's I was able to catch.

Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo

I took the kids to the petting zoo on Wednesday and we had a great time. It was nice to get out of the house and run around while petting animals.

4th of July Fun

My niece Makayla is in town for 10 days so we've been very busy. Below are a few pictures I captured over the weekend.

Makayla and Emery coloring together I bought this pool at Walmart for $30 and I think I will get every penny's worth. It was totally easy to blow up and is the perfect size for Emery - even Makayla loves it!Well, Emery didn't really like it the first time we tried to put her down the slide.
The second day (and diaper free) was much better - she loved it!After bathtime, Emery was entertaining herself and being quiet for too long. When I went to check on her, she was playing Ivan's PS3 all by herself and having a blast!
We went to the Discovery Center at Gateway today. I didn't take many pictures, but here are a couple. Emery loved being in the baby stroller .. her bum almost got stuck in it.Amelinda and Quinlan joined us today. Quinlan isn't walking quite yet, but he still enjoyed the baby area at the museum.
