The Zoo

I took last Monday off of work so that Sasha and I could go to the zoo with Aunti Pam and cousins Mcartny and Paige. We had a lot of fun and Sasha loved the animals! She gets so excited, it just makes me laugh.

It was a good day at the zoo . . . a lot of the animals we saw were pretty active so we actually got to watch them doing something rather than just sit there. We'll definitely be going back soon!

Sasha, Paige and Mcartny

Pam, aka Giselle (from Enchanted), she actually got the bird to hop up on her fingers, it was pretty funny!

Measuring up against the gorilla's

Riding the carousel. Sasha loved it!

And finally the train. I think it was a little bit of sensory overload for Sasha, but at least she didn't cry!

This is a cute video of Sasha watching the Monkeys. She gets so excited about animals! Of course as soon as she realized that the camera was on she got much quieter. Little stinker!

Run Forrest! RUN!

Last weekend Josh competed in his first marathon- the Park City Marathon. Arguably one of the most difficult marathons in Utah to run because of all the hills and steep terrain. But he had a blast! He finished 12th in his age group and 45th over all.

Last few steps to the finish line

Eeewww, he's all sweaty!

"Dang alligator bit my hand off!" Name that movie!! Sasha's hand in this picture just reminded me of that and made me laugh. She's actually in the middle of waving. (It's Happy Gilmore, in case you were wondering. Chubbs, the guy with the wooden hand)

Project Runway

This is my #1 favorite show and it starts up again tonight!!!! I am so excited!

My #2 favorite show of the moment started last night, so it's been a good week. If it weren't for Project Runway moving to Lifetime, I would keep my TV permanently locked on Bravo. Oh well. I guess I have to give the remote something to do.

And to top it all off, I'm taking Friday and Monday off of work for a nice, relaxing four day weekend! I'll tell you all about it next week. It's going to be fabulous! It's okay to be jealous. ;)

I had a birthday shout HOORAY!

On the 11th I turned the big 2-8! Just in case you were wondering, 28 is NOT over the hill!

Josh bought the balloons and SWEARS that this balloon said Happy Birthday when he took it out of the bin. :) I still love him.

Okay, so 28 isn't really that big a deal, but I like birthdays. They are fun to celebrate and should always be a big deal. It's the one day out of the year that you are more special than everyone else.

I started the day with a Sea Salt Scrub and massage at the Garden Day Spa. SO NICE! I have never had anything like this before but you can bet that I will be doing it every chance I get! Then I got a pedicure, had some lunch and just sort of wandered through town aimlessly. I loved it!

That night I met up with some friends and family at one of my favorite restaurants- CHARLIE CHOW'S!!!! I love this place! If you haven't been there, you really should go. Good Chinese food!

It was a great party with Dave, Ann, Mason, Madilyn, Steve, Whitney, Jake, Wes, Wendi, Vincent, Josh, Sasha, Chris and my mom!

Thanks everyone for making my birthday great!

I got a sewing machine from my mom so you can bet that I am on my way to becoming not just crafty, but SUPER crafty! I'm excited to get it set up and start using it!!!

"Aim low boys, they're ridin' shetland ponies"

Last Friday we took a trip to the Davis County Fair. Sasha LOVES animals so we thought it would be fun for her. She went absolutely crazy! Here's a few of the fun pics . . .

I am totally in love with shetland ponies! They are the cutest things ever!!!

She really wanted to touch the goats, but everytime one would get its mouth near her she would start to squeal and flap her arms so the goats got scared!

Four Generations

Saturday Sasha and I went to my mom's for lunch and then to a movie with my Grandma for her birthday. We thought it was a good opportunity for a four generation picture. I love my mom and Grandma and everything they have taught me. I can't wait for them to pass it along to Sasha. She loves her Grandmas!
