Utah: Part Two...

So big! Swinging at Gma and Gpa Rogers' house


Riding Lady, my parent's sheep, she is so sweet, Auston loved her! Muttin' Bustin' here we come! (It's where all the little kids ride sheep at the beginning of Strawberry Days Rodeo in PG, in case you were wondering)

We went to Gardiner Village with our friends, Andrew and Missy, and the kids loved the petting zoo!


We went to Idaho falls for Dave (Steve's brother) and Britten's sealing. It was so beautiful, Congrats you guys! Here are 10 of the 13 grandkids:

Here's what we've been up to...Part One...(warning: lots of pics!)

This past month has been pretty busy, with Steve doing finals, getting together with friends before everyone leaves, and then going to Utah for two weeks. Busy but so much fun! (Except for the finals part :) ) Oh, and our anniversary was thrown in there also, which was fun too :) Here are some pics of all the fun we've been having!


We had a BBQ with the J. Reuben Clark Law Society (the LDS students) at Prof. Stancil's house. We're really going to miss all of our friends, the Parrys, Andersons, Logsdons, Watkins, and Gutkes, who have graduated and are moving away to start their real-life adult lives :) Congratulations everyone!Here's a picture of our last girls night out all together. Every week we'd get together for a movie night and/or craft night, and we had so much fun!

Watching Daddy play softball, one of our favorite things :)(It was a long day)
Where's Auston and Audrey?
Caught ya!

Little Miss Cool
Just like his dad, he can sleep anytime, anywhere!
UTAH
After arriving in Utah, we went swimming at our neighbor's pool and we had so much fun!
Audrey found the googles and loved having them on! She didn't even try to take them off :)
For Steph's (Steve's sister) husband Spencer's birthday, we went to Crown Burger and a Bee's game in Salt Lake, and had a blast! Here are the four cousins who were born within six months of each other: Audrey, Hailey, Auston, and Taylor. They're quite the troublemakers when they all get together!
Audrey couldn't stop dancing, everytime a little clip of music came on, she'd start shaking! It was pretty darn cute when her cousin Taylor joined in!


With Aunt Stephy
The Pink Ladies: Hailey, Gma Rogers, and Audrey
There will be more pictures to come in the next couple of days. Our camera broke, so since I don't have any pictures besides the ones from our trip, I'm trying to stretch these out till we get a new one. Recommondations on which camera to get?

Spring Break, Chicago, Easter, Oh My

Well, here's a quick update on our past month or so and I'll get to the pictures. Spring Break, we just took it easy, but we did do a day trip to Nauvoo with our friends, the Bednars, and were able to go to the temple and see some of the great sites :) The temple is beautiful, we had a lot of fun!
The following weekend, we went to Chi
cago and met up with Steve's parents and brother, who were there for a conference. We stayed up there for the weekend, and had a blast! We did shopping on the Magnificent Mile, ate at some really great resteraunts, went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, Wrigley Field, and the Field Museum. It so much fun, and the best part was seeing Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle Scott!
Easter was fun, except for the fact that Audrey and
Steve were sick, and I was in charge of our big Primary Easter activity, but other than that, it was great!
The kids are growing up so fast, they both are walking around and getting into everythi
ng, talking and jabbering away! They're so much fun, I love watching them figure things out and put things together. The other day, I started singing "Old McDonald", Audrey was singing along going "E-I-E-I-E-I....", when I got to the horse, Auston just got up and walked out of the room, and I could hear him in his room moving things around, then he comes walking in holding his toy horse! I was so surprised and proud of him! He's so smart, they both are! Anyway, enough jabbering, here's the pictures, which I know is the reason you all came here. Enjoy!

Nauvoo Temple
The kids love the playground, once they're there, we can't get them away

Chicago, We back the bid! (for the Olympics)

The view from Grandma, Grandpa, and Scott's hotel room. Ya gotta love Lake Michigan!

Auston's pointing something out to Audrey, not sure what...

So much fun at the Zoo!
Here's a really cool video of the lion roaring, be sure to mute the music before you push play

Here, the monkeys were going crazy, swinging around and fighting, and one of them only had one arm, it was amazing to see him swinging. The kids loved them!

With Sue, the T-Rex, at the Field Museum

Easter Time!

They loved the balls we got them

and their "house"!
Easter best!
