Check your shoes

One day Carter freaked out when putting on his shoes because something was in there.  He thought it was a spider but it ended up to be...


A Pacifier

Nice re-enactment Carter! :)

Monster Movie Night

The kids school had a movie night where they watched Monster's Inc. with popcorn and drinks.  It was a packed house but the kids had fun.  For next year, I'll remember to sit nearer to the bathrooms and bring a chair to sit on for me.  Doug ended up taking the two little one's home early while the three older one's and I walked home in the freezing snow.  We only live a few blocks away but were frozen by the time we got back.

Eye Doctor

All the kids recently went to the eye doctor where we discovered that Carter needed glasses worse than Haleigh needs them.  So...

Here he is trying them on.



Getting his eye exam.  The kids thought it was that scream machine from the movie Monsters, Inc.

Eyes dilated for a few hours

Treat from going to the doctor. 


"Take a picture of me for your blog, mom!"



Little boys turn at the doctor.  Luckily no need for glasses for them yet.  


The final glasses choice once they arrived.  I think he looks quite handsome and he feels like a real author now.

Fun with Wyatt

In honor of my birthday boy today who is turning one, here are some videos of him.  I think of him as my gift from God.  All my kids are, but we ran into lots of stumbling blocks getting him here and our whole family has found him to be such a joy.  Happy Birthday Wyatt!

Zoo Day

We found out that the zoo in Salt Lake City offers free admission on the last day of every month in winter so we bundled up one cold morning and headed out.  It was a small zoo compared to Phoenix, but the kids loved seeing animals nonetheless.  

Watching the train



Watching the monkeys

Watching the elephants.  There was a baby one that was so cute!





Rhino


Alligator

Searching for the three tigers.  We found them later up high on a bridge sleeping.



I liked how the little boys always stood so close to big brother and big sister.

Checking out the water tank.  We like aquariums but haven't seen one better than in LA at the Aquarium of the Pacific yet.

The stinky giraffe house.  



Louis hated them.  "They're scary, mommy!"
