John Turn's Three

Lara got her face painted with her inner animal. How suiting that they picked the butterfly. I thought that she looked really cute. She was so excited when I told her that they were painting faces the day that we were there.


We went to the Zoo with our best friends ever, Drew and Sarah and John. There handsome little boy was turning three. So crazy to think, because I remember when he was born and it does not seem like that long ago. Anyway, Eli loved the zoo. I was worried that he might be afraid of the big animals, but not hardly. He loved them. So here are some pictures to tell you about our way fun day in the sun at the zoo. Thanks for inviting us Drew and Sarah. And Happy Birthday John.

This is Eli Monkey playing with the big water ball at the entrance of the park. Eli thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I know, I know, nobody really cares to see the pictures of the animals, but I gotta tell you, Peacocks are the coolest birds in the world. I have never in my life seen a peacock with his tail completely open. They are beautiful. But it does kind of baffel my mind how they can even carry all those feathers around, they have to be super heavy.

Little stinkers, I swear every time one of them would look at me, the other one would not. I couldn't win. But, they are still the cutest two boys ever.

Justin and Eli posing on the lion statue. Don't they look so cute.

Gaye, Eli and Lara standing in front of the Zebras. It was such a fun day.

Matt, Eli and Gaye watching the black bear. Eli thought they were so cool. The bear kept going in and out of the cave and every time the bear would come out of the cave he would say " oooo oooo oooo" It was about the cutest thing ever.

John was so tuckered out, he slept through part of his birthday party at the zoo.

Eli and Grandma watching the bird show. He followed the bird to the back of the arena thing and then he was waiting for it to fly over his head again.

Priceless pictures.... I can never have enough of them.

Eli and his handsome daddy. I love you two so much!!!!!

Just a really cute picture of John. I'm not even sure what he is doing. I think he was caught off guard.

Again, they would never both look at me a the same time. That would be way to easy..right?

John relaxing on the Elephant's nose.

Say Cheese John.


Me, Eli, John and Sarah standing in front of the Elephant.

Eli's new favorite play pen!!!

So Eli has found the dryer. He loves it. I'm not quite sure why he thinks it is so cool, but he plays in there ever chance he gets and every time that I forget to shut it. Usually he just climbs in and out and in and out. But today he went and stole Lara's blanket and dragged that in with him. He laid down and was going to go to sleep in there, it was about the cutest thing I have ever seen.








Here are just a few cute pictures to show off Eli in his new favorite place to play.

A few of my new Favorites

So like I said a few posts ago, our camera has been on the outs for a bit and I have to tell you, I have missed it dearly, so I am making up for lost time.

This is just a picture I took of Eli in his car seat. I just think he looks so cute and innocent in this picture.... it is very deceiving....LOL.
We were out house hunting the other day and this umbrella was sitting on the porch of one of the houses we went to look at. It was a Batman umbrella, we thought it had to be fate, but regardless of all that. Eli thought it was the coolest thing ever. I guess we need to see if we can find him one.

And here are Eli's.......

Eli was pretty corroborative up the canyon. I do believe that Lara was feeling it a little bit more then Eli was, but we still got quite a few pretty cute ones of both of them.



This is one of my favorites. I think I am going to replace the one in my living room with this picture.



This one is pretty cute as well too... but then again.. it is Eli, they are all pretty dang cute.



What is with this face.....It kills me!!

He is such a cheeser.

I love you Lara!!!

So we went up the canyon today to take some new pictures of Eli because our camera has been gone for a few weeks because we took it in on warranty to see if it could be fixed. Well long story short, the camera seems to be working much better and while we were up there, we took a lot of pictures of Lara to, because I needed some new ones of her too. She is such a cutie. I love how some of these pictures turned out. Hope you all enjoy.
This one is my favorite






I quite like this one as well. She just looks so happy.

She looks so skinny in this picture. Usually the camera adds ten pounds, but in her case I think she lost ten pounds.

I love you Heather Noelle May

This is a shout out to my adorable, loving, and somewhat crazy sister. I just gotta tell everybody how much Eli loves his Aunt Heather. She is so stinking cute to watch with him. Eli is crazy when she hangs out with him. So Heather..... just dont ever forget how much WE LOVE YOU!!!

Shout out to FatBot!!!

We Just wanted to wish Kasey May a Happy Happy Birthday. We all love you very much and hope that you had an awesome birthday. We look forward to hopefully seeing you soon. Love you bud.

My Tribute to Sophie....

So we finally did it. We actually really sold Sophie. I know many of you out there have had to part with someone that you loved. Well just all of you know, I really did love Sophie very much. It was just to hard to have to little dogs and for some reason, she never did take to Matt. Ever! From day one she has just not loved him, so I have always had to always take care of her which made having her even harder. So here is my tribute to My Princess Sophie girl.


Sophie was born last January, making her just over a half a year old. She was the only girl born in a litter of 4. At first thought we planned to sale all of the puppies. But Sophie being the only girl and seriously the cutest little puppy ever, we decided to hold on to her for awhile and let Lilly have a play mate. At first it was great, and actually that never really changed. She was always such a great little puppy. She has always had such a free spirit and a ton of spunk. And from day one has always been really perfect with little children and new people.



Here are a few pictures of Sophie when she was about a week old. As you can see, even when she was still very very young, she was such a cutie and loved to wrestle with her brothers.




Here are some pictures as Sophie is growing up. She was so much fun. She just had a personality all her own.



The next couple of pictures are more recent ones of Sophie once she had grown up a little. Still as cute as ever though. We Love you Sophie. No matter where you are. We will always love you and are super happy that we got the chance to know you and have to as our family friend for a few months.





Sophie was sold to a really sweet family from Eagle Mountain. They have 7 kids under the age of ten. As you can imagine, I am sure that Sophie is getting loads and loads of attention and love. The wife has had a dog in her family her entire life and she wanted her kids to experience the joy of having a family pet. I know that she is a good home and getting all the love in the world. Sophie, you will be missed.
