RAINBOWS

On our way home from UT we saw this GORGEOUS SUNSET and these B -E - A - UTIFUL RAINBOWS. You have to look kind of hard to see that there is two rainbows in one of the pictures.

This one has Two...

The many Faces...

The Hogle Zoo & Heber Kreeper

We all went to the Hogle Zoo on Friday the 17th and had a LOT of fun despite the HEAT. The best part of it all was the 'Singing Monkey'. I was disappointed though, they didn't have any LIONS, or HIPPOPOTAMUSES. :(

On Saturday the 18th I went with Masen on the Heber Kreeper with John's brother Morgan and family, and also with Caty & Gabe. It was a lot of fun, and the scenery was BEAUTIFUL. I still couldn't get Gracie to give me a hug or anything. Eventually though, eventually.

Meeting Family / "Auntie" Katie

On Sunday the 12th, Masen and I went down to Salt Lake City to visit with some of John's family that lives here: Caty & Gabe, Morgan & Alison, and their two little ones Gracie (3) & Jack (2). Masen had already met Caty but not anyone else, so it was nice for them to all get to meet him. I also hadn't met Alison or the kids before either. I was so happy to finally meet them, especially since Caty talks so Highly of them all. We had a good time playing and visiting. Uncle Morgan held Masen most of the time. I think Masen MISSES his DADDY so whenever any guy holds him he is just so content. (Male bonding)

I was lucky to get a picture of Gabe with Masen. He doesn't like to hold babies.

SUCH CUTE POSERS

Gracie only held Masen long enough for me to get this picture and then she wouldn't hold him again.

Can you guess what this is a picture of? ....... 1.... 2.... 3...... Jack's fingers. he loved to take pictures, but couldn't figure out how to without his fingers in the way of the lens.

I just had to get a picture of Jack walking on his tippy toes. Ryland does the same thing... its so weird.

I tried really hard to get a picture of Jack and me, and also of Gracie and me but I was only able to get one of Jack and me because I bribed him with the Camera. Gracie didn't really want anything to do with me. STRANGER!

Gracie Avoding me at ALL costs.

On Monday the 13th I had a dentist appointment so Katie Hunter, My BEST Friend - Masen's "Auntie" (she really isn't his aunt, but you know how it goes right?), met us at the office and she watched him while I had my appointment. We had lots of fun and really enjoyed playing catch up. We went out to lunch at the OLIVE GARDEN, and then went to her place to play a game that I had bought her for her birthday: Peanut Butter and Jelly Lunchbox. I mostly bought it because to each other we are PB&J. She is "The Jelly that makes the world go round," and I am the "Peanut Butter that makes it ALL Good."

Katie working hard on Masen's baby Presant. (Ill post a picture when I get it.)

SHE LOVES HIM!!! She could hardly let him go...

Not to copy but... The Aquarium...

On Thursday all of the grandkids; Masen, Ronnie, Ryland and Timothy got to go to the Live Aquarium in South Jordan, UT with Morgan, Grandma, Kelsey and I. We had a lot of fun and took tons of pictures between the 3 cameras we had. Here are a few that I got... (check out Morgan's blog for some more pictures, http://www.nellieandmo.blogspot.com/ )

I had to get a BOOTY shot. Masen being a good sport in the Moby wrap.

The Upside down Jelly fish. Timothy really liked those.

Ronnie and the touch tank for the Sting Rays. His most favorite place. He could have stayed there for days just reaching in and touching them. The sleeve to his shirt was soaked with water by the time we left.

My adorable Nephew Timothy. 'Say What?' A really cool Star fish.

One moment awake..... the next sound asleep.

Grandma getting in on a PUZZLE.

Through the fish tank. Look MOM a fish. (even though mom wasn't there.)

Drive-In Theater (Transformers)

Sorry the last two are out of order, but I forgot about this one till just barely.

So on Friday the 3rd we all went to the drive-in theater in Aurora, MO. It was lots of fun. We got to see Transformers and Imagine That. Both good movies. Of course Transformers was better than Imagine That, but I think that is mostly because of a few things: 1. Transformers is an action movie. 2. I am not the biggest fan of Eddy Murphy, although he was actually not to bad in the movie. 3. We watched Imagine That after Transformers... need I say more?

Masen did a really good job and slept the whole time. I was really surprised. I thought it might end up being to loud, or he just wouldn't be able to sleep because he wasn't at home, but he did. :D He also slept the whole way home and didn't wake up once we got home and put him in his bed either. (Totally Shocked)

On our way home was not the greatest though. We got about 15 -20 mins away and the car ran out of gas. :P Thankfully Morgan and Nelson happened to be at the movie with us that night and were just in front of us so that we could get home.

I Colored my hair. Can you tell? It is now Light Auburn, with a little extra red.
