A Trip to the Zoo

WE made our first trip to the zoo last week. We got a break in the weather which was really nice! Grandpa came along for the ride with the kids and I. Emily was very excited because the mamma elephant at the zoo had a new baby named Lucas. He was so cute and the kids just loved him. After looking at all the animals and having our picnic we headed over to the kids favorite part. The zoo has a kids center where there is a place to play and a stream (which is Mason's favortie) that the kids can splash around in. We had a great day and can't wait to go back!

Our 4th

Our family loves to celebrate the 4th of July. Ever since Emily was born we always have a family cookout. Play all day outside and in the water. Then we head down to end of the street to watch the fireworks over the lake :)

Viva Las Vegas

Brent and I went on our first vacation together since our Honeymoon!!! I know crazy huh! Our great friends invited us to go to Las Vegas with them for a couple of days. We left the same day we cam back from my moms so it was a little crazy. But when we finally got out there is was worth it. Brent and I had such a nice time together. Some much needed husband and wife time. I think it's so important to do vacations or little trips with just your spouse :) We did a ton if sight seeing and just spending great quality time together. We had such a great time with the Ziegler's too :)
