Zoo Day

What is better than a Zoo day? It was the perfect day for it.. The animal were all out and it wasn't crowded at all.. So much fun with my sister and my mom.

 The elephant is always a hit!

 Cousins

 Of course Brinley always wants to pose.

 She loves the monkeys!

 I'm telling you, the animals were awesome today!

 Me and my littles

Merry-go-round rides for all!!

The Longest Day. Ever

Talk about a long day.  Darren left for Park City this morning for work only to call me about 45 minutes later saying his car had broken down in the canyon.  So I called the tow truck, loaded the kids in the car and went to pick him up.  I was thinking the tow truck would beat me there, but nope.  I got there and we waited AN HOUR for the dumb tow truck.  We had them tow us to park city, otherwise it would have cost us an arm and a leg to tow it home. So we stayed in park city for dinner when we get a phone call saying they want to charge us twice as much as the original quote from the tow company.  After another hour arguing with them we finally came to an agreement.  Then drove an hour home.  All of this with tired, grumpy kids. 

 At dinner.

First Day of School

Brinley's first day of 1st Grade.  She is so excited!  I was so nervous for her to go, but she had such a great day and loves her teacher!!

I can't believe he is in Kindergarten!!! I will just leave it at that or I will get emotional again.. My kids aren't supposed to grow up!  He was so excited and wasn't sad at all.  Me on the other hand.... At least I held it together until after I got in my car. 

Surgery

Another surgery for Presley.. This time they are going to go in and try to fix a hole behind her two front teeth.  The Dr. isn't sure he will be able to close the whole thing until her bone graft.  But it is too big right now, so it is affecting her speech.  She was champ as usual.. Love her guts!

 In Pre-Op

 Just waking up.

 She would only take her pain medication if grandpa Burrup would give it to her.  He was more than happy to oblige.

Family

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the love I have for these people.  It can take my breath away some days and I am so deeply grateful they are mine and for the knowledge that families are eternal.
