Day at the Zoo

We went on a spur-of-the-moment trip to the zoo.  Myla loves animals so we thought it was a good idea.

Oooh terrible quality haha.  But Myla was pointing at the sleeping lions.

This elephant came out and went on a rampage!

Fun at the Park

We were sweating buckets, but it was a fun time.

Here's Myla going down the slide for the first time by herself.  She was smiling, but at the same time she wasn't sure why it was supposed to be entertaining.

 Then we tried to get her to climb up the slide, but it was too slippery.  I pretty much just pushed her up haha.

 In the tunnel...

Who's that creeping in the background?

Stranger danger at the park.

 And trying to get Myla to smile in a picture with me... and being unsuccessful.

She makes funny faces when grass is dropped on her or thrown at her.

Myla showing all 4 of her teeth.  And yes, they are all on the bottom.  Ha.

Memorial Day Weekend 2015

This weekend we went down to St. George with Robert's family for the family's annual family trip.  We found a nice vacation rental house from Airbnb and stayed there over the weekend.  We also took a 15-passenger van (we named it Peni--story about it down below) down, so that we could fit everyone when we went places, instead of having to take a bunch of different cars.  The weekend was filled with a trip to Zion's, swimming, sports, games, delicious meals and good company.

Peni helped us arrive safely in St. George.

On the way to Zion's in Peni.

In front of Peni just after a night out at Gun Barrel.

Okay, here is how the name Peni came to be: We knew we were renting a 15-passenger van, but it wasn't that funny until we saw it parked in front of the house as we were loading up to get ready to leave.  Poor Peni was the brunt of many jokes.  Everyone made fun of her non-tinted windows and how everyone driving by could see us, the unfortunate passengers, in the big white bus.  And we saw a few big white vans just like ours, but they all had tinted windows.  Robert said, let's just stick a sign on the van that says "Utah State Penitentiary" because Peni (short for Penitentiary) looked like a transport vehicle.  So we joked that we could all wear orange jumpsuits/shirts so people could see us in the not-even-tinted windows and think we were all inmates.  Maybe it's one of those you-had-to-be-there stories, but it was pretty funny.

Myla playing with a rugby ball in her white pioneer hat haha.

She was out cold after a day of being outside.

Wow... it has been a long while since I've blogged.  I just haven't thought of anything to blog about because my days pretty much consist of the same things... taking care of Myla haha.  I figured I might as well write something, so here's a little Throwback Thursday for ya (and for some reason there is a huge gap between this paragraph and the first photo, and it won't let me backspace to get rid of it... oh well).

Back when Myla had a small head and big body.

Back when perms were cool... (eh...)

Old family photo when Karson was just a baby.

That one time Kelcie and I did one continuous braid from one head to the next.

Back when we pretended to be cats.

This was us seeing Myla's small body next to Kajsia's.

Back when Myla was just a little bump and I was just barely starting to show.

Back when Robert and I mashed our faces together.  Oh boy.

That one time Robert sat in on one of my classes.  As you can tell, it was exciting.

Back when Robert and I could go watch movies whenever we wanted to hahaha.

And that one time Tanaya and I mashed our faces together.

The one time Myla sucked her thumb and fell asleep.
