Do the Hogle

The Zoo is so cool. I like the Zoo. Moke wanted to see the dinosaurs, and Ashley wanted to see the cats?? All in all, I caved into the choo-choo train, the cotton candy, the carousel, and the lion drinking fountain. If that didn't top it off, on the way home, I stopped at Walmart, and after desperation to get out of the store bought Ashley a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Moke a Ring Pop. Then I dropped them off at their houses. Ha Ha! Sorry Mom! Sorry Lissa!! My favorite part of the day though, was when Jake had them promise to bring him home a panda bear and turtle. Well sweety, these two little cuties found every panda and turtle and asked how much they were to buy.. I mean every one of them. They love Jake so much and didn't want to disappoint him, of course=-)

Its always fun when Grandpa comes

My grandpa came into town for a series of eye tests. The cutest thing happened when he visited... Gabbie couldn't get enough of him. She was hugging and snuggling... it was so precious! My Grandpa is one of my favorite people. I feel like I can always go to him for advice or just a good laugh. He is turning eighty in a month..... it was just the other day when I was begging to be in his raft as we floated the Boise River! Those waterfalls were huge back then, and I always felt the safest with my Gramps!!

The Old News

Well I guess it is okay to officially announce that my baby sister is pregnant! She is due July 26th. She is such a good example to me. She was one of the people that I missed so much while I was on my mission. She is a crack-up! We still hang out all the time since she lives down the street from us. Ty, her husband, is a hoot as well. I am the one that actually introduced these two and yes, I take all the credit. She is having a boy, and the whole fam is out of control excited! But don't mistake all these angel faced pictures, she is crazy woman on the dance floor!! UMSCK UMSCK Love you Saren! Smooches!

Where's Moke? There He Is!

These two thought it would be so fun to stuff Moke in this box and take him around the house held by Jake.... I got a kick out of it! They tried doing this again the other day which ended up in the scene in Jim Carrey's movie Pet Detective when he busts out of the box in his tutu when he thinks he is going to be caught by the orderlies in the storage closet..... very nice boys!

Rub a Dub Dub Desi in the Tub

So this is Patrick, Mary Ann (Jake's sister) and their son Desmond. Do you think this is how Jake and our baby will turn out? And no, Nae Nae is not pregnant. Just an innocent question.

Mickey Dee's

I really don't care what anyone says... I am going to continue eating at McDonalds. I love it! From the fries to the yogurt parfait to the McFlurry. Yum Yum. Look at these happy kids... could it really be that bad?? I actually do blame my addiction to my dear Jordan Tech goers... yes you Cherissa and Milli!! Then Ashley fed the fire as she would have me sneak out of my computer class and go to McDonalds... those were some good 'ol days

A birthday to remember

So I want to thank everyone for such a fun night!! There is nothing like good company with some good food. Thanks Mama for the Crowley tacos, frog eye salad, balloons and cake. For the record, we had a four way tie for the ugliest sweater. Thanks to Jake, Sam, Ty and Kylee for gracing us with your extreme ugliness. We had a gift card to give out... but in four ways.. do you guys just want like 2 dollars?? Let me know :) Who knew we were going to get dinner and a show.... A special thanks to Ty and Sam for the "Boys are Back" rendition from High School Musical Three. It was so close to the real thing...... :) We played "Murder in the dark", and ended the night with a killer game of Family Feud. As folks were leaving, we karaoked to "I got you Babe", "You've Lost That Loving Feeling", and "Danny's Song". I had such a wonderful time! One of my favorite parts of the night was Jake surprising me with a road bike! This is a birthday to remember.
