Zoo

Last weekend we thought we would take Dane to the zoo! The weather was perfect and we all had such a good time. Dane's favorite would have to be the monkeys...go figure! He would point at them and then kick his legs like crazy. We also saw en elephant, rhino, giraffe and crocodile! The tigers were all sleeping and Brent was bummed because the part that has the penguins and polar bears was under construction and will be finished next summer. Guess we will be going back. Like how we are wearing our Boise State gear? Go BRONCOS!!!

Birthday Bash!

This boy had such an awesome birthday! We went out to lunch with some of his friends to McDonalds and had chicken nuggets, fries and root beer! He was also featured on Good Things Utah for his birthday. My mom, Steve, dad and Lupe all came to share this special day with us. He got so many fun gifts that he just loves them all! Dane is such a special boy and we just don't know what we would do without him. He is constantly making us laugh! So glad that he was sent to our family.

I wanted to get creative and I made him a sock monkey birthday banner! It turned our super cute. We left it up all week since we celebrate birthday WEEKS around our house!

Dane wasn't sure when it came to opening gifts. He would get so excited with one gift that he just wanted to play with that. He was so funny to see his expression and have him make is vrooom noises when he got his 4-wheeler and Buzz car!

We got pizza for everyone and boy does he love pizza and root beer! It was priceless when this kid ate his cake! I'm so glad that he had such a fun party. The day after his birthday I asked him if he had a good birthday and he looked at me and shook his head up and down!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday to our sweet little boy Dane!! Oh how we love you so much and you bring so much to our family. We have had such a blast with you this past year and we are so excited for the years to come!!

1st time Fishing...

Last weekend Brent had to run to Idaho to go to work so we thought we would tag along. Well it just so happened that my brother and his family were going to be in Sun Valley, Idaho so it was a no brain-er that we were going to go!! We had such a fun time...quick trip but a BLAST! We went to check out a spot to go fishing and as we got there some friends were leaving and left their pools for us to use. Brogan caught the most...he is a pro! I caught one!!! Dane LOVED the fish, after we would get the hook out of the fishes mouth we would let him touch them and he would want to stick his fingers down their mouth and full on grab the fish. Bo caught one fish that only had one eye...ewww! Dane loved the dirt and enjoyed every minute of it!!

Toes...yes please!

This little guy has been loving on his toes lately!!

Too cute huh?

Best Buds

My brother and his family stopped at our house the other night on their way to Lake Powell. They have a little boy Red who is 9 months older than Dane! They are going to be such good buddy's. They would crawl around and chase each other and talk! We put them in Danes bed and they were just so funny to watch.

Being wild monkeys jumping on the bed!

I'm so glad that Dane loves all his cousins even if they are in Idaho and Washington!
