The Weekend!

We had a pretty fun weekend! Friday we went to softball with everyone and had a blast with all the little kids! Ally spent the night and so did Todd's little sister Kellene.  We had so much fun with those girls! They are the same age and so much fun to have around! We watched "I Am Legend"...If you haven't seen it go rent it, its SOOO good! I was trying to make everyone stay up to watch it and Kellene conked out, and then so did I after I told everyone to stay awake! Haha, so Todd and Ally were the only ones awake at the end.  Saturday morning we woke up and made pancakes! We had Jane's buttermilk syrup...its SOOO good, thanks Jane! After that we headed to the zoo! We took the girls and met up with all of Todd's family.  It was so fun! We saw all of the animals and then this time when we went to see the stingrays we got to touch SHARKS! It was so cool, they feel weird! Like sandpaper! Ally and I were afraid to touch them because we thought they would be scaley like fish, but they weren't, it was weird! After that we met up with Jane and Todd, got a free car wash and headed home! We did homework Saturday night and thats about it! Here are a couple pictures from the Zoo...thats all for now!

Lions and Tigers and Stingrays?!

Yesterday Todd and I became official members of the Phoenix Zoo! That being said, we have season passes all year to the zoo for 2 adults and 4 kids ages 3-18.  Also, the little ones under 2 are free.  If anyone wants to go just let us know, the pass is for me and one guest, so I have to be there but if you want Todd and I can take your kids! There is a new exhibit there and you can touch stingrays, you have to pay a dollar but it is really neat! They are only going to be there until April 20th though, so if you don't go this week you'll miss them! But, you can do the same thing at Sea World for free.  Anyways, while we were petting them it was feeding time so we got to feed them fish and shrimp.  You make a fist with the food popping out and put it down into the water and they come suck it up.  Its kind of gross and a little scary, but they don't have any teeth just suckers.  Here are a few pics, Todd pointed out that we should've used our underwater                                                                        feature on our camera, but the Zoo people probably wouldn't have liked it.  After we saw the stingrays we went over to see the Orangutangs and the other monkeys.  The orangutangs were huge! There were I think 2 females and a baby and then the BIIIIIGGGG Papa.  He was huge! Then, we went over to see these Squirrel Monkeys. They are just crawling on ropes and trees out in the open seriously like a foot away from you.  It was crazy! There was this one little bugger who jumped over my head from a tree from a rope and it freaked me out! I thought he was going to land on my head! The zoo workers ere telling us how they will bite HARD if you get too close, and that they use their pee to mark their territory, so as soon as you get out of the exhibit you have to wash your hands.  Crazy little monkeys thats for sure!

Snoop Dogg has converted to Mormonism! Oh well, its a pretty good April Fool's joke, thats for sure!! Click on Mormonism and it will take you to the story...funny stuff!! Let me know what you think! If you scroll all they way down to the bottom it says "You got fooled...Snoops not a Mormon...YET! There is an urban legends site that confirmed it was a joke.  Craaaazy!

SuNs GaMe!!

Last Friday night Todd and I went on a double date with his cousin Bobby to the Suns game! They were playing the Minnesota Timberwolves and they KILLED them! The other team wasn't very good so it wasn't really a close game or anything, but it was still fun! We got tickets from a scalper and we were on the lower level 25 rows up, I have never been that close before! It was so cool to be down there where all the action is! We got to see Shaq and there was some other famous guy there, I forgot what movie he was from.  Anyways we had such a good time and it was such a fun double date!! Afterwards, we went to Jane and Todd's for a fun sleepover weekend to watch Conference and for Dad's birthday.  Thanks for letting us stay, Jane and Todd! And thanks for the fun weekend!

The Weekend and such!

Hello! I just found the cord for my camera so I was able to upload a few pictures! Last weekend Todd and I went to CaLi and met up with Mom, Dad, Jane, Todd and the kids for Todd's triathalon! It was cool to see him running up a storm to finish! We drove over Thursday night and got in about 230am.  Friday we went to breakfast at this really yummy cafe called Sunrise Cafe.  It was in San Clemente and we went there on Saturday also with Todd's cousin Tanner.  Tanner just got home from his mission in Utah so we hung out with him a lot since Todd hadn't seen him for awhile.  Friday we went to the beach and then hung out with all of Todd's cousins and their boyfriends/girlfriends/friends/wives/husbands and went to dinner at Red Robin.  Saturday we met up with Jane and kids and mom and dad at the triathalon and hung out there for most of the day.  Todd's mom and little sis came too, and afterwards we went to eat at Joe's Crab Shack! It was pretty good, I had popcorn shrimp.  After that we went to shower and get ready and then Todd and I went out to eat with Mom, Dad and Ally at P.F Changs.  It was so good.  Sunday we went to church and headed home.  It was a pretty quick trip and we had a lot to do, so time flew by.  It was a well needed vacation though! Tomorrow night we are going on a double date with Todd's cousin Bobby to try and scalp tickets for the Suns game.  I will be sure to take pictures!!
