Well, it's been a busy couple of weeks since I last blogged and we were on another fun trip, this time to Salt Lake City. My cousin AJ was getting married so the kids and I flew down to SLC with my mom and brother which was a million times better than the 10 hour drive in the car!! Yeah for airplanes. We had a wonderful time seeing lots of family and had a great time hanging out with our North Carolina relatives which we don't see too often. My cousin Kim brought her new 6 week old baby and Gage was absolutely infatuated with the baby, which was a good sign knowing what is coming soon! My camera is not working so well, so I don't really have many pictures except a few from the day we went to the zoo. SORRY! AJ looked very happy and we wish him and Polly the very best. We did lots of eating, (Cheesecake Factory, Old Spaghetti Facotry, Rodizio's, Red Robin, oh my......) chatting, and walking. The kids had a blast at the zoo and Gage's favorites were the elephants and the snakes. THanks mom and Jeffrey for taking him in to see the snakes, you know me.....not my favorite animal!! Macy just had a big day and needed to take a little rest so she kept me company (great company huh???) We came home on Sunday and boy were the kids ready to see their daddy! He stayed home and worked, worked, worked! Thanks to mom and Jeff for helping with my two little busy bodies, and thanks to everyone for such a fun weekend!
DOG!!! Haha! Steve decided that he wanted to add another member to the family so one night he came home with this new puppy. The puppy's name is Red and he is 6 months and 80 lbs. YIKES!! I'm sure many of you will be surprised that I agreed to this, but since I never got to grow up with animals and my children are scared to death of dogs, I wanted them to get used to animals and not grow up being afraid. So after a couple of weeks of having Red they are both actually doing much better around him. Macy will say to him "Red, gentle" and loves to get after him when he barks. Gage is actually to the point where he will pet him now and doesn't freak out when he comes around. As far as dog's go he is a really sweet gentle dog who I think will be great with the kids. I can't give him too much love since I'm allergic, but he's hard not to love. So that's our latest news and here a few pics of the kids outside enjoying the great weather. They love to help daddy drive his tractor and can't get enough of it!!! Steve's been super busy at work which is a great thing, but the kids sure miss seeing him so they are at daddy's side the minute he comes home. We love our daddy!
