The Zoo

We had a much needed family day at the Zoo. After Brandon's Grandma passing away and his Dad having a heart attack it was good to have some time together as a family and not have to think about anything. It was a beautiful day with lots of animals and lots of fun!
 

Bald Eagles

 
Elephants
 
 
The Rhinos were the most active we've ever seen them and one came right up to the window for some breakfast
 


 
The Polar Bear was as active as ever, coming right up to Briggs and doing a back flip in the water

 
The baby Giraffe is the same age as Briggs, only one week difference

 
Loved watching the Seals and Sea Lion.
It reminded me of being back in California.

Basketball Cake & Easter Eggs

Hey all, so it's been an up and down couple of weeks. There was Brandon's birthday on the 23rd and it had potential... except his Grandma isn't doing so well. So his parents were in Nevada. He tried calling friends to go to dinner but everyone was busy. So it ended up just us having sushi. My family gave him a party the next day, then his family came down the day after that for dinner, and then I planned a basketball party a week after his birthday. Sounds great right? Well the main part of the party was the guys playing basketball and I had reserved our church's gym and everything. So we get to the church and oh wait it's General Young Women's Conference. Not only was I already bugged but there was a lady that came up to me when I walked in and said, "There's been a mistake because we've had this scheduled for like years." -UGH she was just so rude about it! I wanted to smack her! So there goes the gym to the lady with a broomstick and pointed hat. (ya I'm still ticked) So anyway we had cake and ice cream in the primary room while we tried to find another gym (pics below). So we did end up finding another gym and everything was fine.



Yes, Brandon had a basketball party with a basketball cake :) and yes I made it
 





So Easter! The Easter bunny came to our house! (I have got to remember to keep that under wraps now) so here's our cute little egg hunter :)

















 The real reason for Easter :)
 





Briggs got dinosaurs in his Easter basket so he had to taste them all. 


So for the last week I've had this nasty cough/cold and wasn't feeling up to going to church on Easter :( so we didn't get the Easter pic of everyone in their cute outfits but I'll try to post that next time... Until then feast your eyes on this cute mini hunk :) he's so adorable!
 
Until next naptime! Thanks for reading! -nrobbins
