ZOO day

I took the kids to the Zoo today, which is why my house is so quiet right now. I have two tired boys and I am loving it. And so blogging is what I am choosing to do with my free time. Maybe not a wise choice, but I just dont really care. I am the boss applesauce! Quinn has been gone for work this week so I think our trip to the Zoo was just as much for me as it was for the boys. We needed to change it up, and we actually had a really good time.

Asa LOVES the goats. And I LOVE watching him.

Right now they have their butterfly exhibit going on, which was really cool to stand and let them land on us. 

They were so so beautiful.

 The one on my hat hung out with me the whole time. 

Kyran was with us, I just dont have pictures to prove it, but he was hooked to my chest the whole time. 

I look forward to next year when he will appreciate it a little more!

Oh and when Quinn can join us as well!

I miss you Quinn...

FOOTLOOSE!

WHAT???? A NEW FOOTLOOSE? THIS IS SO SHOCKING AND SO CONFUSING I MUST WRITE IN ALL CAPITALS TO EMPHASIZE MY FEELINGS ON THE MATTER!!  IT MAY SOUND SILLY BUT FOOTLOOSE HAS A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. Anyways. I look forward to seeing it, who knows I may be adding it to OUR movie collection. No matter how hard Quinn tries to fight it. 

I really LOVE Footloose.

REALLY REALLY LOVE IT.

SUMMA' TIME

LOVE SUMMER!!

This morning I was lucky enough to capture  a few sweet moments with my boys. Sadly pictures just don't do it justice. But you get the sweet idea.

 I just love this sweet boy and his sweet smile! So I thought it would be first up on the blog today. Since I am not great with words I am going to let the pictures do most of the explaining. Here are a few of my favorites from  the last few weeks.

...Kyran is such a JOY. Seriously.

 We went to Idaho Falls for the 4th to see the  Haslems, and of course we enjoyed every minute.

Asa and joshy...sweet.

I think Asa wore everyone out on the 4th. Poor Haslem kids chased him around all day long. 

oh my gosh he's so sweet. 

Quinn is showing Asa his wet foot print. 

Adorably sweet.

This is where we Walked today. 

Jealous?

...and my worn out sweet Asa. Not quite so sweet when he woke up though.

mmmmmm sweet!

Can you guess the one word I would use to describe my life right now?

SWEET. Sometimes though it can be described as bitter but the bitter is just as much apart of life as the sweet. But I am SO grateful I have the Sweets that I do to make the bitter so totally and completely worth it. 

Considering the circumstances I had a really good day yesterday! Besides the fact that it just sounds like a big number, it's really not that big of a deal. I feel great, and I am a happy girl. So how on earth could I complain about something as silly as my age. 

Thanks to Quinn for making my day so great,

I know without any doubt that I am loved!!!

Now, I am ready for my thirties....Bring. it. ON!!

This has basically been our summer so far. Since we are apartment people this year, we have to go to the park to make some fun. (our apartment is not really fun) But luckily Boise has some AWESOME parks. 

These kids live in this thing. K, not really, I promise but they are in it everyday at least. Kyran is still learning to like it. So a lot of the time I have to pull him out and carry him. 

Speaking of strollers, yesterday we went to the library and I decided to drive there this time.(stupid decision #1) Then after I decided we would stop at the park (stupid decision #2) So I get out of the car to get the stroller out of the trunk set my keys on the seat with my phone(stupid decision #3) and as I do so the door closes and Locks.....I am done counting my stupid decisions......anyhoo I lock my most precious    

kids in the car....Seriously???? Considering the situation I think I handled it well. I ran to the park and yelled for a phone. People were so nice, and come to find out I am not alone in this. Several women at the park had done the same thing on a few occasions. So I kind of let down a teeny tiny bit on beating up myself, although in my head I was still  so disappointed in my careless self. So while I waited for a locksmith for maybe 15 minutes I played peek a boo with my babies. After about 10 minutes though Asa was getting pretty frustrated and by the end I had 2 screaming babies.  They were fine and obviously had no idea what happened but I did, and still do. And I'm still trying to get over it and forgive myself!

Even with that dumb accident yesterday still turned out to be excellent. We played at the park and I wore my kids out as much as  possible..

SEE??

Actually that happened twice this week. And I think it's s great because that NEVER happens, and I think it  means he had a good time. 

And so did I. 

I'm thinking Kyran did too. 

 Our first camping trip ever with kids turned out to be great! I thought we would have some kind of issue but I was proved very wrong. It was so enjoyable, the babies were happy and slept great surprisingly! 

Asa had so much fun playing!

Idaho is so beautiful.

Daddy and Asa walking to the toilets, precious...

Quinn choking down the massive amount of tin foil dinners he made. YUM!

I hiked to the top of the mountain with Kyran that was just above our camp. It was straight up, but made for a breathtaking view. Kyran slept the whole time silly boy.....

.....and so worn out and dirty. LOVE IT.

Kyran is just happy as ever sitting in the back looking out the window at the beauty!

Quinny and me,someday we wanna retire in a place just like what is behind us. I love planning and dreaming of our future together.

I cant wait for our next camping trip!
