Why we haven't posted in a while.

At the playground at the zoo during the field trip with Ariana's class.

ooops! I can't get rid of it.

Ariana with her "boyfriend" Zac. He said that he wants to marry her when they grow up, and she is already planning the wedding! She designed a dress for Grandma Bailey to make for her and has half of the guest list done. She has even told me what I am supposed to wear!!

Ariana and Zac wrestling a crocodile!

Baby elephant playing with her balls. She was so cute running, kicking and hitting the balls!!

The group that I was in charge of at the zoo for Ariana's class field trip last week.

Riley, Ariana, Zac, and Tyler

I always wanted a daughter with curly hair. Now that I have one, this is what our mornings look like!
On the way home from the zoo on Anela's 2nd birthday. May 15

At the zoo on Anela's birthday. Silly girl didn't want to put her head in the lions mouth for the picture!

I know it has been a while since I last posted, but I have a very good reason. We moved! We were not happy in the house we were in, and had been wanting to move for a while. Then some things happened that made it possible to move right away. It was all very sudden. We found the place and got approved and moved in all in less than a week! We are still in Magna, just further west, and we are in an apartment now. I was a little worried that I wouldn't be happy about the size since it is quite a bit smaller that the house, but I love it here! It is 3 bed 2 bath, and really nice. Yesterday we went to the pool for the first time, and had so much fun! I never thought that I would want to live in an apartment, but I really love it. We have a pool, a workout room, and really nice landscaping, and we don't have to pay for or take care of any of it! The kids have met some nice kids in the area and are adjusting really well. The only problem they are having is remembering to be quiet and not run since we have neighbors below us.

Anela turned 2 just over a week after we moved in, and we did get to go to the zoo for her birthday. It was fun, but there are several empty exhibits right now because they are renovating. We did get to see the baby elephant though, she is so cute!

Last week Friday I went to the zoo again with Ariana and her class as a chaperon for their field trip. That was really fun too. It was nice to spend some time with the class and get to know some of the friends that she is always talking about.
