Sunday Afternoon

Jackson doesn't stay dressed for long after church

Sundays can be pretty crazy sometimes but every once in awhile I see what they can and should be like. This last Sunday was one of those days. We made it to church on time and the kids were so well behaved during sacrament. Then the kids came home and quietly sat down and enjoyed each others company. Savannah and Jordan played a game together that Grandma Bodily had brought them and Ren, Emma and Jackson sat down to look at pictures to put in Emma's scrapbook. They all stayed quiet and I even had a chance to take a nap. The perfect Sunday!

Rainforest Cafe

We went to Phoenix over the weekend and had a blast! The girls were having fun with their cousins so Dave and I took the boys to the Rainforest Cafe. It was so much fun. The restaurant looks like a rainforest with tropical fish all around, stars on the ceiling, jungle noises and an occassional thunderstorm. It was perfect for crazy boys because no one could hear or see them climbing the walls and they were entertained the whole time. We didn't get the volcano desert though so we'll have to go back again.

The Sharks and Rays

Ren, Savannah and Jordan couldn't get enough of this exhibit

Jordan is such a cutie! The shark and ray look cute enough to touch

Phoenix Zoo

This is the whole gang. Dave's sister Cherylen and her family joined us at the Zoo for some cousin fun. . . .they're all related to the monkeys!

These kids went "ape" over the monkeys on the monkey trail. (I am so clever)

I took the pink shirt idea from Debbie's mom. You couldn't miss me.
