The Best Zoo Trip Ever

We went to the zoo last weekend and it was seriously fun! Perfect weather and it was feeding time for a lot of the animals so Austen was in heaven. Before we knew it we had been there three hours and we hadn't even seen everything yet.

They have these new dinosaur things that look REALLY real.
They move and growl and some even spit out water.
Austen liked this mom with her baby, but by the time we got to the raptor and the t-rex he was NOT enjoying them any longer.

Daddy and Austen by the Rhino.....Austen said this was his favorite animal.

Checking out the porcupines.

And the Gila monster.

How cute is that profile???
I can't get enough!

The tip toes kill me.

These ostrich were fighting and Austen thought that was really cool.....he kept saying that about three thousand times!

Playing in the prairie dog enclosure.

Summer Corn

Austen loves corn on the cob.... a lot!!!
We bought some the other night and after he ate two whole cobs, he was mad that there wasn't anymore left.
I have a feeling that we will be buying a lot of corn from the Farmer's Market this year!

So I Guess This Is How Brian Watches Austen

I left to get some new make up last Saturday with Brian in charge of Austen.
They had to run to a gardening store for a project that we are doing in the yard and apparently since Austen doesn't stay put for one second, this was Brian's solution.
(He didn't even tell me about putting Austen in an actual cage.....I just found these pictures on my camera.)

Epic Family Day

We had the best family day last week. We were busy busy busy from the time we got up until bedtime, but it was really fun!

First we stopped by the chalk art festival at the gateway to see the amazing pictures.

Austen of course loved it!

So much so that he wanted to recreate it at home.

After the little man's nap we went to the South Jordan fair and had a blast.
There were rides and games and even snowcones.

Playing a water squirting game.

That he WON!!!

Driving what he calls a jeep with his little friend.

A huge slide with daddy that he loved!!!

And to end the night....fireworks.

He was so tired when we got home, that he was looking a little comatose.

We Needed A Little Distraction From Life

Last week was rough.
I didn't really feel like blogging.
I needed to get away......something to distract me.
So I took the little man to his favorite places.

The aquarium

Look at the wonder in his face.....love it!

To the playground.

And then out for ice cream.

When life gets hard, he makes it worth it.

Happy Father's Day

This Father's day I let Austen pick the gift to give Brian and out of all my suggestions he picked....

A putting thing.

How cute it that???
They use it every.single.day!

Hope You're Enjoying Your Weekend As Much As He Is

Just relaxing in the sun...

And having a snack.
