Last trip to the Zoo...

 Lydia could sit in front of this monkey and watch it all day long!  She LOVED it!!

 Penguin feeding...

 She was not too excited to be strapped in.

 The classic Lion picture...

This was watching the Tiger stalk around...

Jake got some free tickets to the zoo so we decided to go one last time for the season.  It was a beautiful day and the animals were all out.  I am sure glad we went.  We went to the zoo several times this year and every time we did the kids had a great time.  Every time the tiger roared too so we would have to run over to that exhibit.  We love our little Idaho Falls Zoo!!

A visit from Grandpa Guymon...

Grandpa went to Yellowstone and was nice enough to stop at our house for a quick visit on his way home.  He read the kids stories, told me some amazing animal stories from his trip and had a few bites of popcorn :).  It was fun to have him for a minute or two.  The kids couldn't leave him alone as you can see from the picture...gotta love Grandpa!!

Cute Pictures and an update...

Lydia is all attitude these days!  She loves to smile, grunt and talks all the time.  She loves her sister Jenna and is always so excited to see her in the mornings. She loves to throw a ball with Anthony and hugs him when he gets home from Kindergarten.  She isn't the best eater, but loves fruit snacks.  We took away her bottle in hopes that that would make her hungrier and it hasn't worked so far...but we will keep trying!  She loves to 'talk' and she has started signing some words too.  She says Mom, Dad, get, binky, don't, hi, night-night and a few more that I cannot remember right now.  Her blonde hair is still super girly when we actually get mousse in it but she hates having her hair done so I usually just make sure it is brushed and out of her eyes. Hopefully that will change!  She brings a lot of joy into our lives and lots of smiles and hugs!  We love this stage of growing!!
