Our Last Trip To Our FAVORITE Zoo!!!

The kids and I went one last time to OUR FAVORITE zoo!! We will defiantly miss it. Here are pictures of our last FUN day with the sweet animals of Albuquerque!!




I loved these OLD KNEE's on the Giraffe. He is the oldest one at the zoo!!!









I LOVE ZEBRA's..I could take pictures all day of them...
can you tell :0)


The Rhinos were splashing in the mud.
 Luke got splashed with mud on his face!!








Rylee playing on the splash pad...



It was so cool, the diver was feeding the turtle his food!!


Joslyn LOVES animals of all kinds. She made "FRIENDS" with a small Sting Ray. She loved that it moved like it was dancing. We had to go EVER time we went to the zoo to say, Hi!! This time we had to go say GOODBYE. Joslyn went and sat at the tank on the ledge like she did everytime. The Sting Ray was in the back of the tank...as soon as Joslyn sat down the string ray swam up and stopped right in front of her. I can't even tell you how amazing it was..Joslyn continued to tell the Ray that she was moving to Utah and couldn't come see him anymore and how much she was going to miss him. She said, so I have to say goodbye..right has Joslyn said goodbye the Sting Ray started doing his dance...so Joslyn danced with him and said, goodbye and skipped off. It was so crazy how it all happened..this little girl as a connection :0)




Morgan's Last Party!!

Morgan and her friends went ice skating the night of the last day of school. It was such a cool place. It had some old houses that lined the skating rink. The pictures aren't the best, but the memory will last forever!!!








Rylee and Bekah!!

Rylee had a sweet friend Bekah..they were TWINS!! They both have the same SPUNKY personality!! It was so fun!! The last month we were in Albuquerque, they were fitting in all the play dates and sleep overs they could before we moved. They took turns sleeping at each others house. I loved when Bekah came over she had a book "The Super Sleepover". It was the cutest book, even had a check list that had to happen to make the evening PERFECT!!!





Another Fun Adventure!!

We have decided after many hours of talking and praying that we are going to move back to Utah! Boomer's job didn't work out the way we thought, it has been a crazy roller coaster. We had the opportunity to move back to Utah and move to my parents house while they are serving a mission for our church. It all fell in to place perfectly.
SO, MOVING AGAIN.....UGH!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO done packing. It was a very long month in May of packing and sorting, along with the kids end of school craziness. But, some how we got through it :0) It is just a NEVER ending battle to pack with kids around...glad it is over, well at least for another 14 months, when we move AGAIN!!!!
The boxes got piled high in the family room, that kept Joslyn and Luke busy most the day climbing and building forts.




Albuquerque was such an AMAZING place to live. We LOVED it, the city, the neighborhood and the people are UNFORGETTABLE. My sweet friends threw me a going away party before I left. It was so sweet and SOOOO emotional on my part. They all our so talented, amazing women. They are truly have a place in my heart. THANKS AGAIN for a wonderful afternoon!!!!

So many wonderful friends for my kids.


The amazing women of Albuquerque.



Joslyn's friends....


This is such a priceless picture...Joslyn with ALL OF HER PRINCESS FRIENDS!!


Yes, Luke was the EVIL MAN they put in to prison!!! 


It was so sweet, my sweet friend Keri had everyone write cute messages on rocks. It was so sweet. I will cherish them always!!


LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!

BOXVILLE!!!!

SOOOOOOO MANY things going on at the end of the school year, from animals reports, making poodle skirts for choir and NOW making a "CRAFT BOUTIQUE" for Rylee's BOXVILLE. The kids are learning about the economics of business. So, the kids choose a business and we create that business out of a box. This Friday they will turn it in and will create a city in the gym. At that given business, if it is something that sells things or makes things that business needs to create that object for kids to buy (fake money). So, Rylee first choose WALMART...seriously!! I emailed the teacher to see if we could come up with something a little more creative. So, we came up with a CRAFT BOUTIQUE...so, the kids can come to Rylee's business and choose from 2 items to CRAFT. We have coloring pages or making a book mark (big Popsicle stick with foam sticker on the end).... Should be fun for the kids. I just can't wait to get this BOX out of my living room. She assigned it a month ago and we had done within a few days....it has been a LOVED box!!!


Yes, will someone PLEASE come and pull out that buck tooth that is sticking out of her mouth!!!! We are DONE with the DRAMA!!!! :0)





Here are some pictures of "BOXVILLE"





There were some very creative boxes...this was a theatre that the parents had brought in some TV's and played videos, while the kids ate popcorn.


Rylee selling...(it was PJ day at school)








Luke's favorite...STAR WARS!!!
