Mom's Wedding

My mom married Fred Neilson on Saturday Oct. 17th 2009 in the Boise Temple. It was a beautiful autumn day.

My baby turned 1 yesterday and it makes me so sad that he's not that little baby anymore. I don't know how this past year went so fast, but we loved every minute of having Cole with us. Here's his tribute for this past year:

8 weeks

6 months

9 months

12 months

He reacted the same way Ella did at one year with the cake. Not so interested. He maybe had two bites and was ready for real food. Happy Birthday son! We love you!

First Day of Joyschool

It was time for Ella to get some outside stimulation and her mother to get a break, so I really wanted to do Joyschool this year for Ella. Nobody was doing one already in our ward so I had to organize it myself. Our group is small, but it's perfect. She loves it, and gets excited to wear her backpack.

Ella insisted that I do TWO braids that morning. Although it almost made us late doing two french braids in her hair with her moving all the time, I figured I'd do it so she'd be happy at joyschool.

Swimming at the YMCA

We absolutely LOVE the kid pool area at the YMCA. We go there at least once a week during the summer. It is perfect for my kids with a deep end of 2 feet, and it begins with a shallow fading effect like the beach.

Indy Zoo

We wanted to go to the zoo before our season passes expired. I don't know why but every time we go to the Zoo in the summer we pick the hottest and most humid days.

But the kids did well dealing with the heat.

This giraffe was in labor while we were there and you can see one hoof coming out its end. She crouched down a few times in labor position, but then the zoo keepers took her in a gated area for care.
