Alexa's New "Do"
Alexa decided she wanted to have shorter hair and bangs. I have cut her hair since she was a little girl so I was game to cut it short if she was sure. I wasn't too excited about bangs and I think she agreed. We looked back at some of her pictures and I showed her how short she has had her hair in the past and she decided to go for it without the bangs. She looks pretty cute...at least in my opinion.

Play Date
The mommies recruited some of the older kids to take pictures of us. We were standing in a nook by the Kodiak bears and some other zoo patrons thought for sure the kids were taking pictures of the bears...surprise!! Just a bunch of silly, but good looking, mommies. Dayton and Mackenzie didn't get to take the mommy pictures so these are the photos they did take .
Mackenzie started to not feel so well just before lunch and stayed pretty lethargic the rest of the day. She doesn't do so well in the sunshine sometimes. We would stop to see some of the animals and I would turn around and find Mackenzie on a bench somewhere lying down. The other kids found any opportunity they could to get wet...who knew a misting sprinkler could bring such enjoyment.
Mackenzie was able to hold a butterfly...Dayton was so close. The butterfly had a leg on Dayton's finger but not all the way. He was pretty bummed. Alexa held several but she was never close by me when I had the camera out.
All in all a great day at the zoo. Fun, friends, laughter, and lots of memories.

Water Heater
So on Monday morning I came downstairs and went into our bathroom and the floor was wet. I asked the kids if they had noticed and they said they thought I had mopped the floor. Ya, since when do I mop by dumping a bucket of water onto the floor. Well after investigating the toilet and the sink...I looked up at the ceiling. YEP...it was wet. I ran upstairs and found the tray surrounding the water heater full of water. Now What??? I called Nathan, who was in a meeting and not answering his phone, left several messages and then a page. He called back and had me turn off the water to the whole house. To make a long story short....we get a new bathroom...in addition to a new water heater.
