Daddy's new toys



The girls bought daddy light sabers for his b-day. Unfortunatly they don't work with any of our Wii games but their fun to play with! And light up, how cool is that?


Lizzy loved them.

Snow Leopard Day @ the Zoo


Our Zoo just had two baby snow leopards born! So we celebrated at the Zoo. Though we could only see the babies through some mesh, twenty feet away, behind some bushes and trees, I could decern that white shapes where indeed moving around. Must be Snow Kitties! For obvious reasons we never got a good pic of them. SO the hour long wait to see them was a bit wasted. Oh well the girls had fun climbing rocks while we waited.

The girls got to be zoologists and take care of little stuffed baby animals. Taylor got so into it she started giving everyone else shots as well. Most to our displeasure....






I got to feed the gorillas after the docs fixed them up. Love my giraffe cheek?
























At least we got to see the new penguin exibit. It was huge. The girls are laying in a viewing dome to see the penguins swim by them.



























Daddy's Photographic skills at work. Aren't they cute?























Makayla loved the Komono Dragons. I told her they were looking at her because she looked tasty. She didn't believe me. Their getting to smart!


























We got our faces painted, play at the Zoo, got to pretend we were in Mongolia, and pretend we saw snow babies. Pretty good day after all. :)

Rex's Birthday!

We started our day at the Temple for a Temple Day with our primary. They took us on a tour of the Temple grounds and taught the girls about the Temple.


This is Rex's tummy shot of Taylor.







Here they're looking at Moroni. So cute!
Afterwards I had the Primary sing Happy Birthday to Rex. He tried to duck out but I caught him.
So Rex said, scew it! I'm taking my birthday into my own hands and getting the biggest rootbeer in WA. So we went to XXX Burgers in Issaquah for the 4th ranking rootbeer in America. Rex loves this place. And I hope he still will after they dressed him up as seen and sang happy b-day to you cha cha cha with the whole resturant cheering on. Oh yes that smile on his face is a "I'm gonna get you for this later Jess!"
Way to take your b-day in your own hands Rex!














At least he got a sundae and a new T-shirt out of it!

Charly's b-day!

So we had a family party at my Mom's.


All Charly wanted for her b-day was Legos. But she also was delkighted to find new jounal supplies(she goes through journals like water) and a shirt from Grandma Martin she wears every time I wash it.








Lizzy really liked Charly's bows.





After presents we went on a treasure hunt. Captain Charly led her 1st and 2nd mates on a treacherous journey though the backyard.







Dead bodies at every turn.





Cursed gold to tempt the weak.










But Captain Charly was resolute in her persuit of the big treasure chest. (the one she made the week before with Tia.)












Aha! The booty is found!























Now to break the booty!















With daddy's hiderence of course!
























The2nd mate was a true pirate! She would cheat, steal, plunder....































Taylor has a mean arm but she doesn't get anywhere with daddy pulling the strings.









Even Daniel and Bud got in on the action. Daniel finished it off for the girls.



Girls Camp


Yes I was forced to go but it turned out pretty fun. This was my cabin. We were the Lantern Lights.

We took our Bishop on a picture scavenger hunt. Very fun. His son took the pictures and had us act in different ways. Bet you can guess what he told us to protray!

















This was skit night. We had a skit based on television show "who's line is it anyways."I was the pregnant director. Love my fake belly? Lots of people thought I grew over night. Silly girls.
But I got my nickname from the skit. Spencer's Baby Mama. Nice huh? Spencer is the alligator puppet you see eating my belly. He's trying to take the baby out. I had to have him dragged off with security during the skit. Very funny:D














Me and Brittany with "crazy hair." After we did it then everyone else started to follow.







I must say that after this experience I really like my girls a lot. They are so much nicer then other girls in the Stake. And very suppportive of me and each other. Maybe I will survive this job.

Wild Waves





We recieved free tickets to Wildwaves. So much fun! I didn't dare take the camera to the water portion so sorry no pics. But we enjoyed 8 hours
of wet and crazy fun! Hehehe.
