Zoo Days


So the warm, beautiful, and gorgeous weather we have been waiting for is finally here!  Today we decided to go to the zoo and enjoy Boise!



Aspen and Brooke loved just playing in the park, they are still a little young to enjoy the zoo as much as Hannah.  They spent their time chasing each other (and their big sister) through the grass and playing in as much dirt as they could find.  It was cute to see 1 yr olds with their finger nails full of dirt!


We should have just spent the night in the park since I don't think it was worth the fight to get the girls back into their carseats BEFORE they were done having fun!  :)



A monkey posing with a monkey!



Nap time at the zoo was both non-existant and tiring as we carried the girls a lot!  Timing is everything!






Yep they let children drive.  ;)



This is a picture of one VERY thrilled and happy little girl.  She is now qualified by both the zoo and Mom to ride the merry-go-round solo!  This is Hannah's favorite thing at the zoo and she couldn't be more proud to be able to ride alone.  (This also helps me when I take the girls alone because I get sick on the merry-go-round which means I don't ride it!)



Today was also a first for the twins as they got to ride a merry-go-round for their very first time!  I could hardly contain the two in their stroller as they watched their big sister so Grandma agreed to brave taking two babies at once and they LOVED it!



They have a new exhibit allowing you to feed some goats and sheep! (They sell approx 8 pieces of food for a quarter but they tell you where your quarter is going so you should feel good about it! Ha!)  Hannah enjoyed this area as well! 



Aspen was a huge fan too (she is an animal lover just like Hannah) but as you can see instinct told her to keep her toes close and away from the goat!


We all had a great day and Grandma even braved wrestling a Komodo dragon to the ground!  Anything to protect her babies! ;)

A couple of cute videos


So Grandma found this cheesy dance video game at a garage sale for $0.10 or something ridiculous and the girls love it!  The twins have been "official" dancers for about 3 1/2 weeks now and here are some of their moves....



(This one is especially funny in the end because Brooke gets so excited that she falls over!  What cuties!)

So many milestones coming so fast!

 We definitely have some climbers on our hands.  And what better thing to climb on than the gift Aunt Lis sent them!  And as we approach 1yr and 20lbs so quickly...  Front facing car seats are in our immediate future!  Yay!
 If you haven't noticed a trend yet, outside and popscicles go together and are part of our daily routine!
 Only slightly dangerous, but Hannah only rides her horse while standing!  It's more fun that way!
 Our big helper!  Or John's big helper I should say!  Hannah is always facinated by John's shaving/trimming of his face and this time he let her help!  What a brave Daddy!
 Absolutely thrilled!
 As we begin/continue the upgrades to our backyard Hannah has found hours of fun in the random dirt pile...
 ..and yes she is very aware if you add water you get mud!  :)
 Evidence that she can't deny!  Hannah's hand is the only one that fits this print!
Here the twins are following their 1yr check up at the Pediatricians office.  Visit went well, 12mo shots... not so much.  Aspen was easily distracted by Grandma Pats cell phone but Brooke would have none of it.  She was mad and wanted us to know it!
