Day 2 at the Zoo

We were all up and at the zoo really early on Tuesday morning and it felt like a 100 degrees out already! We were all hoping to be able to feed the giraffes but the giraffes didn't want to come over and eat and they only open it for a short time. 

We did get to see them up close and lots of other dessert animals. We also got to spend the day with Tricia :) She came up the night before and went to the zoo with us! The kids always love spending time with Tricia!

So glad they had misters, it was so hot!!

They kids loved the big turtle that they got to touch and hear about.

They had great little encounters all over the zoo! And being a weekday it was not busy at all, so the kids got to touch, talk and hear about the animals up close.

The Living Dessert Zoo is also known for the huge train city set up they have. The kids really liked checking that out!

After the zoo we had lunch and ran into the pool as fast as we could to cool off! Then we all had a great time at the Spaghetti Factory for dinner.

Vacation!

We took a little trip to Palm Springs with some of our closest friends and their families. We had the best time. As soon as we got to the hotel we went straight to the pool for a couple hours. 

They had a kids pool and sand area along with a regular pool and jacuzzi.

Lounging around!

The kids loved the pool, they floated all around and had a great time in the water!

After hours of sun and fun, we all got cleaned up and ready to go out to dinner. All together we had four 2 years olds and three 4 year olds.

The hotel was great! In the main lobby they had long runway that would change colors every couple minutes, the kids loved playing on it!

Memorial Day BBQ

We had a great start to Memorial weekend, spending the day celebrating at two parties.

Woodranch BBQ take-out, the park and a couple of close friends is how we started it off.

Kate even brought out the snow cone machine and everyone loved it!!

Cheers...!

Elle, Adelaide and Haley gossiping while the boys play.

After that we walked down the street to another friends house for a BBQ and more play time. 

The kids had fun chasing each other and playing ring around the rosie.

We are so blessed with so many amazing friends and family.

Under Construction

Cory woke up for work and when he went down stairs he found the first floor flooded. The water heater broke and flooded the first floor :( So challenging does not to do it justice when I talk about how our two weeks has been. They had to come in and remove all the flooring, baseboards and dry wall. Put up fans, and then replaced everything. We were restricted to upstairs or out of the house. 

So here is one quick picture of the kids playing in the backyard while everything is under construction and adding in some potty training. The positive that came out of it was I thought everyday life with twins was hard but I now realize it can be a whole lot HARDER!

Pool Date

It starting to warm up so we met up with our friends at the pool. 

 The last swimming lesson didn't go so well so I was so happy that Ellanie was back in the water and doing well. Logan spent most of his time playing with the water, not so much in the water.

 Best friends, Ellanie and Tabby

Happy Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day at the beach with the family. It was the first visit of the summer but it was still a little cold for it. So we didn't stay very long before heading over to Grandma T's. Overall, it was a great day, it's always fun to be with the family! 

 Making sand castles with Aunt Kelli

 First time fishing and Logan loved it! It must be in the blood!!

 Grandma brought amazing treats!

 Back at Grandma T's house hanging out with all their cousins :)
