Day at the zoo.

Our lunch break, I think the kids enjoyed running around on the grass as much as seeing the animals.
Those Polar bears were HUGE! It was so much fun watching them in the water and seeing them so up close.
The three kids watching the bears; Kaylee, Camden, and Macie


We love the zoo here!!!! It is so fun to go see all of the animals I don't know who gets more excited to see the bears and elephants more Macie or Me. We have a play group that meets every Thursday and we do a lot of fun different things but this time I remembered the camera.

We had to have a picture with Macie and the elephant when she saw it she talked about her Grandpa and wanted to hang on its tusks just like he did. I had to tell her only Grandpas who live in Africa can do that.

Randome pitures of the kids.

I came out from the back room the other day and this is what I found she didn't see me with camera she was honestly trying to read her scriptures I asked her if she wanted to go outside and she said "No Mommy I need read my scriptures." That lasted 30 seconds and then we went outside.
Macie loves the camera, dress up, and playing Doctor. She thinks every ones dad is a dentist or a doctor what a surprise it will be when we don't live by students anymore. Thomas is always happy to sit in as her patient well actually has no choice, there is no one else around.

They are so cute!!!! It is so fun watching them grow up!!! They love to play together and I love it too.
Her first Easter egg hunt. I am not sure she new what to do but is was fun anyway.

"I all better Mommy!"

Last week Macie and I spent a couple of days at the children's hospital. She has been limping since Easter weekend and the doctors were worried it was interfering with her development so they took x-rays and took blood and did IV's she was a trooper. She didn't like it but she handled it well. She was always saying "I fine Mommoy, I all better Mommy, or I ready to go home Mommy" what a sweet girl!

She had to wear this boot for a day till they knew what was going on. They decided that she probably had a virul infection in her hip that traveled down her leg. That is what made her limp. We go back to the doctor Monday to make sure her blood dosen't show any more infections. ISN'T SHE SO CUTE??

Mothers Day Surprise.

The Friday before mothers day We packed up the car and when Sky finished his last final we buckled the kids in and drove straight to Idaho falls to Surprise my parents for Mothers day. It wa so cute to see Macie walk right in the house saying "PA, PA" and to see shock and tears in my parents eyes it was worth the drive and the time that was spent for the whole week.

Macie spent most of her time dressed up as a princess and talking about the temple. Thomas loved all of the attention and played for hours and hours. Sky and I just enjoyed being with family and relaxing with out having to get up and worry about every day life.

We had a chance to get together with Cory and Kinley Ricks while we were in town and Macie and Tanner played as they always have. That morning when I told Macie she was going to see Tanner, she said "I go get married to Tanner?" it was cute.

Macies wedding day...so she thought.

Macies new thing that she talks about all day and night is "I ready go get married in the Temple mommy" I hear her talk about the temple to her friends, at the grocery store, pretend friends and all day to sky and I. No I haven't brain washed her!! She saw a wedding picture of Sky and I an d I told her Dad and I got married in the temple and it only took once.

When we were in Idaho we took her to the Idaho Falls temple and went in the front doors she whispered the whole time and she was so cute about it. When we came out she ran to Sky and dad and yelled "I just got married in the temple!!" It was cute so here are some pictures of Macies wedding day...

REXBURG IS IN MILWAUKEE!!!!

Today we went to lunch at a hamburger joint and when we walked in this is what we saw. We felt right at home!!!

March!!!!

I am sorry it has been way to long since I have upadeted our blog but here is a quick up date while the kids are asleep. FINALLY!!!!!

At the beginning of the month my mom came for TEN days yup you read it right TEN and we LOVED every minute of it!!! We spent the days at the Zoo, the dentist, sleeping, playing, and just showing her Wisconsin. I think or hope she has a better impression this time because after last time we weren't sure if she would ever come back!!! But she did.

Thanks Mom for coming Macie still goes looking for you outside and every time we drive into Milwaukee she says, "go get pa off plane?" It was so selfless of you to take the time to come be with us when you already have so much on your plate. Thanks and we are so glad you are our Mom and Grandma!!!

The next week after my mom left was spring break for Schuyler except I think someone forgot to tell Sky until it was half way over!!! He spent the first half of the week at the school anyway preparing for the next weeks tests.

Then on Thursday the party began. We went to Chicago and wow is it a beautiful clean city.We rode the L (subway) and I am not sure if it was more fun for Macie or for Me, we walked for ever trying to find the aquarium and when we found it it was worth it. This was probably the best aquarium I have have ever been to and Macie loved seeing all the fish and little kids.

We stayed at the hotel with 3 other couples and we went swimming and enjoyed our time relaxing. While we were there we were able to go to the Temple we all traded off our kids so each couple had the chance to go. It was so nice to be able to go with Sky and feel of the spirit and be rejuvenated again.

Well as all party's have to this one ended as well. School started up again and it seems that it is one test after another. We see Sky at six in the morning before he leaves and at ten at night when he comes home. I am so grateful to be married to Sky he is so dedicated to taking care of his family. I love him and we are so proud of what he is doing. Oh and a side note he is happy to report that he is Number one on both his March Madness Brackets at school and with our family. This is his clam to fame. We will see what the next round of games brings.

I hope you are all doing well and I will work on being better at posting more up to date...
