We went to Members Night at the Zoo...awesome time! We met the Thorne family & Dr. Godfrey's family for a picnic before enjoying the zoo. We spent some time watching the sea lion show (as usual), letting the kids play in the geyser at Teton Trek, & watching the kids swim in the Nile as they danced to music from Grease. Fun & FREE! :)
Can't wait until these hippos get to move into their new home!
This dude wouldn't let me into my car to pick the kids up from school...he's a repeat offender!
This is Alice & Bella. Alice is the tabby...she's lived with us the past two months but went to a new home on Thursday. Alice went to live with Mr. Jason & his family on 16 acres in Mississippi, she's going to be a top notch barn cat! Alice just couldn't seem to get the hang of using the litter box consistently, I'm glad to say that she has left me her LAST poopy present!
We had a little bit of other animal drama...Gigi woke up limping one morning. An anti-inflammatory & a brief call to Dr. Godfrey fixed this girl right up...notice the Get Well Soon sign Emma-Rae made for our poor pup!
Emma-Rae and I made homemade...I'm talking from SCRATCH cake donuts. Too bad John's not a big fan of cake donuts. The kids loved them but they were an awful lot of work compared to running down to Howard's Donuts. We probably WON'T be doing this again.
This is the super fancy, super heavy, donut cutter that I asked John to make for me, John asked Mr. Brian to make it...it turned out really nice!
We're in non-stop soccer & volleyball mode...have been since August. John-Robert has found his calling as the team goalie, as he said after the game last week "I was born to be a goalie." Gotta love it!
Sports mean always carting around extra kiddos...gotta help each other out & get our kids to the game! That's Emma-Rae's team mate squished in the middle here, we love to have her! :)
Not many volleyball pics because they just don't come out too well in the gym...bad lighting, insufficient flash, beats me!
That's the jist of what we've been up to around here...I'm in school, kids are in school, John's working. Dad's still in the hospital, recovering well at this point from his amputation. Mom was in town last week & made it to one of John-Robert's games & one of Emma-Rae's. We definitely enjoyed having lunch with her both days! We're planning on decorating the house for Halloween today & tomorrow, the weather is gorgeous! Maybe I'll get another post up tomorrow evening.
