...going to the zoo with our fun friends Anna, Joan, Erin, Dylan, Avarie, Christian and more! We saw more obscene and, quite frankly, disgusting animal behavior on this zoo trip than on all our others combined! (Monkeys anyone?)
One of the more well-behaved animals that day....partying like rock stars. Pretty easy to do when a.) your sweet older (and, therefore, super cool) cousin has a birthday and b.) your shoulda-been-a-party-planner-or-travel-agent grandma plans a rock star birthday party complete with cool rock star sunglasses, glittery hula hoops, make-your-own rock star necklaces, and a video camera for making rock star videos.
The beautiful birthday girl--7 years old!
...letting our jaws hit the floor when we got home from an afternoon at the gym to find that our yard had been destroyed by a wind/hail storm. Our trees lost nearly 2/3 of their leaves, we couldn’t see our driveway (covered in the previously mentioned leaves and other debris), and the front of our house has been plastered with more of those same wet leaves. Hail was inches thick in the yards around us too!
Our neighbor's milk delivery cooler and driveway.
...answering questions such as, “Mom why did Heavenly Father put gypsies on this earth anyways?” and “Mom, why do rock stars wear such ridiculous sunglasses?!”.
...having our hearts melted by pictures like this one from Erika’s wedding:

love Milo's Mohawk and Issy doing the hula hoop!
Wow, what a storm, sorry about your trees. I am totally laughing about the monkey part of the post, it is always a risk going to the zoo and having to answer the uncomfortable questions that will be thrown at you...like what is that hanging from the rhino and why are they trying to jump on each other? Monkeys are especially gross, I try to stay away from that exhibit.
sorry i showed up in the back of that presh picture. i'm a picture hogger.
I'm totoaaly stealing the rock star party idea for next year.
That storm looks like it was a doozy! I hope it's not as cold as it looks.
That last picture is ridiculous! So cute!! Does someone wanna plan our next party?
I'll have Melissa get right on that one Abbie.
That is a heart-melting picture. And love the hula hoop picture. Your kids have such personality, I always look forward to the next visit to your blog.
