My Diary

I just got back from our last zoo adventure yesterday with my favorite friend. It was such a windy day, but nice that the park was empty. We had a good time. I was lucky to be able to put Samuel to bed and have Dale work from home. So I knew with one child less that the zoo was do able. My friend has to be careful bec she was miscarrying and I had my broken toe. Which I would take the broken purple toe any day then have another miscarriage. I hurt my toe stepping over my broken baby gate. It came down as my toe brushed it and I landed on my toe wrong. Then the rest of the day Samuel, Eliza and Dale all managed to step on it. So fun times!
I am glad to be done with the zoo bec my kids are now getting bored with it. So if they aren't having fun what is the purpose of going. So maybe next year I will get a membership!
My baby Samuel is doing some cute things these days. He likes wearing Eliza's headband. He will go into the bathroom and rummage through her bows etc and grab the headband. He feels so big when he has it on. Dale was like did he put that on himself? Funny. So I wanted to take a picture of him with it on but Dale was like he is wearing Eliza's pink sweats. So he said no pictures bec he didn't want to tramatize our child. Maybe next time!
Also last night we were doing our family prayer and I got him to fold his arms. It was so cute and he felt so big and started giggling at himself. Everytime I would say fold your arms Samuel he would do it. Such a cute kid!
Well I am off to go to the temple tonight with Dale's family. I am having a new friend watch them. So I am a little nervous bec I am not sure how the kids will do. It is hard letting someone new watch your kids.
Goat milk? I just started my kids on whole goat milk. It has been great change because my kids are lactose intolerant, so tummy aches happened quite regular. Goat milk does not have lactose in it... is is very similar to mother's milk. Easily digestable, and has the natural immunity in it. So they have been as healthy as a horse lately. I am lucky my sister Rachel has goats so I can get it fairly inexpensive. I can't wait for my brother's goat to have her babies and we will be able to have another goat producing milk.
I just went to my good friend Julie Larsen's wedding this last weekend. She is in the middle of this picture. This is a few of my friends at my bridal shower. Such a cutie! I am so happy for her to find her perfect match.... she is 32 and he is
35. So they know perfectly well what they are getting into at this age.
Also I saw this picture of my grandmas and I miss them. My Grandma Gardner died January of 2007, and my grandpa soon followed. This is a tribute to my Grandma Gardner.
