Learning as we go

Last Monday we woke up and the weather was so nice that we decided to run to the zoo. It was my first time not taking a stroller! The boys did great walking around and admiring all the animals - especially this baby girl giraffe!

The gorilla terrified Austin and he's a pretty tough kid to scare.

   

   

Eli had a little playdate with Cambelle and then I insisted the boys take car naps.

   

Our neighbors have the cutest baby bunnies we've watched grow over the past 3 weeks. And Aaron got a new tent. He set it up and decided to leave it up for the boys to see the next morning. They were thrilled!

   

Eli had a dr's appointment this week and he got two shots and was so brave. He's growing so much and learning so much. It rained a lot this week so we spent Thursday morning at Monkey Business. 

   

   

   

Friday night Aaron took the boys camping - just the three of them for the Aaronic Priesthood Commemoration camp-out (aka father and sons). They had the best time!! I cried because I missed them so much. And because being a mother is a tough job - but while they were away and as I had time to think about being a mother, I realized that this is a tough job because Aaron and I are striving to raise independent, intelligent, hard-working, faith-filled children.
