Firepit!

one day we got a crazy hair up out butts and decided to put a fire pit in the back yard!
devin got up one saturday morning and we staked out where we wanted to put it and he started cutting out grass!

we got pavers from bunna and papa and we decided we would use those! of course no project is complete without uncle kevins help!

all sanded down!

the finished project! we have loved it over the summer! it has been soo much fun!

first 5k and the zoo!

sometime in may we ran, well walked a 5k with my moms work. there was soo many people there we couldnt run. it was up at the "this is the place monument" my great great, i dont know how many more greats has a statue up there, it was really nice to go up and see it!

anyston and boston ready to roll!

grandpa Israel Barlow

one of his many wives! i think had a total of 4 but only 2 of them had children... we are from the first wife i think...Elizabeth Haven Barlow

the statue of them!

after the race we decided to go over to the zoo for the rest of the day! so here is mommy elephant and baby zuri!

Boston and Anyston
of course once we got to the zoo boston didnt want to be pushed around anymore!

Anyston! ready to get out and crawl around!

the giant tortoise!

i thought this alligator was fake! it had its mouth opened like this for at least an hour.

nana and anyston

this year at the zoo was dinosaur themed so there were little statues of dinos all around the park! boston loved it! some of them would spray you with water as you walked past them!

lions and tigers and bears! oh my!

the tigers were playing with the balls! it was soo cool to see them doing something other than just sitting there!

i love giraffes!

my oh my! how time flies out the window!

i really cant believe my last post was for Easter! where has all my time gone? nothing too exciting has happened since then, not that i can think of right now anyway...i will update today! its my mission!

where has the time gone? i cant believe how fast three months will go by! anyston is finally crawling! i was really worried that she would do it while i was on my trip to las vegas and i would miss it! she started doing it about a week before! boston is going to be such a good body gaurd for her! he is always watching out for her and being a great big brother! devin yet again has more job offers that we are looking at... i really wish he would find one that he likes and just stick with it, but we all know he wont! lol easter was soo much fun! we went up to idaho for the night and boston loves it up there! i will post pictures of the holiday as soon as i can get my camera working right! hopefully by the end of the day!
