Our summer in Utah

While we were in Utah me and the kids stayed at my parents house for almost 3 weeks. My parents were so nice to let us stay so long I am sure they are enjoying their quiet house but, I know they are missing their little fan club. Every time my mom or dad come home(no matter if they have been gone 10 minutes or 12 hours) they were always greeted with 2 children full of hugs who were ecstatic to see them. We live so far away we rarely get to see grandma and grandpa, I am so glad the we got to stay so long so the kids could get spoiled and get to know how wonderful my parents are.

Going swimming with Grandma

While we were at my parents I had a pretty easy life (except for the fact that we all missed Anthony) I got to meet up with most my good friends, take a nap almost everyday, and have no real responsibilities other then taking care of the kids. We spent our days with friends, at the park, and hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa. Here are some of the things we did:
Paint the sidewalk with water(easiest thing in the world to clean-up)

Play at the park with Slick (my parents dog)

Swing

College Roomates

Can you believe these 3 lovely ladies all lived with me when I was going to College and they still are willing to talk to me and even hang out? Ahh.......the good old days.

I love that no matter what friends or family we are visiting kids are always up for playing with whoever. Here are all our kids feeding the ducks.

Just the girls (and a couple of kids)

This weekend I got to go on the annual girls trip that me and my friends have taken since we graduated high school in 1999. Due to some recent deliveries and busy schedules we also had a couple kids tag along this year, but that didn't stop the fun.

Here is me, Katy & Sam, Susie & Jaxon, Corinne & Sean, Aubre & Camden, Allison & Cambree. All the kids were surprisingly good but I dare say the little one in my belly deserves the reward for best baby, she didn't cry even once:)

Kenzie's purse

We recently bought Kenzie a purse, and I think it is one of my favorite things she owns. When I tell her it is time to go "bye-bye" she runs and grabs her purse, then as she walks out the door she turns and waves (the way models do, with a flick of the wrist) as the tells everyone "bye-bye".

Hogle Zoo

We got to go to the Hogle Zoo yesterday with some friends. Here is one of my good friends, with 2 of her kids watching a show. We got to see lots of cool shows and at the end of this one Parker and his friends got to pet a snake, armadillo and a lizard. The kids thought it was so cool.

Even though we are staying at my parents house for almost 3 weeks, my mom still likes us enough to join me and the kids when we leave the house instead of staying home and enjoying the silence. I am enjoying spending time with her and so are the kids.

Parker, Saige, Courtney and Kenzie

After the bird show Grandma gave Parker money to donate to the zoo. The bird took the money from Parkers hand and put it in the donation box.

My favorite picture:

Great Grandma Robinson

SeaWorld

All the shows at SeaWorld were so fun to watch, here is Shamu posing for us.

Here we are looking at the sharks.

Alex and J looking at the dolphins.

The whole reason I was excited for SeaWorld was because I love dolphins and I had my heart set on feeding one. It turns out the day we were there they weren't letting people feed the dolphins. I have the greatest husband in the world though, he told me he told he would pay for me to swim with the dolphins because he knew how much I wanted to just touch one. It was very tempting, but with less than 2 months before this baby comes I decided it would be best to just keep waiting for my dream of swimming with the dolphins to come true.

I settled for feeding the sting rays, not as cool, but it was still fun.Here are J and Parker riding the kid rides.
