We had a very fun but busy weekend! We were out in Salt Lake all weekend with Brady's family and went to the zoo. The kids had a blast!!!! This was on the train ride at the zoo--We kinda cut Dav off--whoops! The kangaroo was bouncing all over the place before we got there! And the tourtoises just laid around-they were huge! It was hard to get Dav off the Carousel and every time we'd come around he'd wave like crazy to Grandma and Grandpa and Daddy. The Gorilla was my favorite part. He was HUGE!! Dav was fascinated by the way he ate. The zoo lady threw a sack of food over the fence and he emptied it out and just sat down and lounged out on the grass and started eating--a whole head of lettuce gone in one bite! Dav loved watching him! The Giraffes are the most beautiful animal ever! The baby was only 10 days old--look how tiny he looks compared to his dad! Dav loved the Zebras too--he kept calling them horses but got the hang of Zebra after awhile! Funny story. The top picture is of two bears playing and Dav kinda got scared. He kept yelling "STOP IT" at the bears--like they would listen! The bottom picture is cute--the bear was obviously tired. Sittin' on the Rhino with Aunt Karlee and Aunt Erin The Rhinos were Dav's all time favorite ((other then the monkeys)) he didn't want to leave them! There was only one elephant--the other one was in labor with her baby! They're pregnant for 21 months--almost two years--I'm pretty sure I don't envy them at all. We had lots of fun at the zoo--I can't wait to go back
We also spent a day touring Temple Square and This Is The Place--It was SOOOO cold outside--I'm not even kidding. Dav wasn't feeling to good this day either--but it was still fun! George Wardle is related to Brady's Grandma somehow--we thought it was neat that he was on the plaques there--and even has his own tree. The Salt Lake Valley--Gorgeous The monument was huge--very pretty! This is the Assembly Hall at Temple Square--I thought it was a pretty building. Inside the old Tabernacle. It was built when Brigham Young was Prophet--its way old but so beautiful! Salt Lake Temple Cool story. I've always loved going to visit the visitors center at Temple Square just so I can go up the ramp and sit in front of this statue--It's the most beautiful thing ever! We took Dav up there of course and I asked Dav who it was and he pointed and got pretty excited and said "JESUS!"--Brady and I were stunned. We've worked with him at home with pictures and stuff but we weren't sure if he'd remember--I about started crying--He definitely remembers...
The neighbor down the road from Dave and Jen's has this tractor and when Boston was up for a week--it was SO hard to keep them away from it. Davin wasn't to happy when Boston wanted to drive--but sure had a smile on his face when he was driving!! Jen went and bought a little kid pool so Dav could go swimming. This summer has been way hot so when the girls watch him he's got something way fun to do. Aunt Karlee went swimming with him and he was LOVING it! Dave has 2 mini horses and a cart to pull. The boys have a ton of fun with Papa riding the mini's. This one's name is Peppy We finally got Brady to drive the cart and now he can't get enough of it. The white and black horse is Rebel and the black one is Fancy. Dave went fishing with some friends a couple weeks ago up at Flaming Gorge and this is what he came home with. The fish was over 40 inches long and I think he said 26 inches around it. It was a ton taller then Dav! Jen took this picture when Dav was jumping on the tramp--I thought this picture was the cutest picture ever. He might of had a chocolate pop-cicle before she took the picture--but the messy face makes it even cuter!
We were married in May of 2007 and have two little boys, Davin and Trevin. We are currently living in Utah and both love where we are at in our lives!!
