Summertime

Our weather has been a little crazy lately (lots of rain, and even cold, then to 90+º and a whole lot of humidity) but it is definitely summertime! (unlike in some places... sorry to my sister Emily in Idaho, where they've recently had snow...) We took advantage of the mostly nice weather (and half-price Tuesday) to go to the zoo the other day. The kids really enjoyed it, but I didn't get too many pictures. Jaina wasn't feeling top notch, apparently, because she chose to ride in the stroller most of the time, but Reilly was a trooper as we navigated through the 21 school buses of elementary school children to see some of the animals. It was fun, and we'll have to do it again sometime soon. Preferably after school is out...  I'm always a little torn at zoos. I love seeing the animals up close, and showing them to my kids, but I wish they didn't have to be in the zoo, epecially one this small, that only has so much room and funding. Still, the baby giraffe was so much fun to see, and there was a very friendly (I think he was hoping we had brought his breakfast) porcupine, too!

The other night we were outside and Jeremy took pictures of all of us. These are some pretty typical faces these days for Jaina...

And here's me at 35 weeks pregnant... 3-5 weeks to go, depending on if my blood pressure behaves itself this time around or not...

What a cute porcupine! :-) The pic with Reilley putting his arm around Jaina is SO sweet! What a good big brother! And I am amazed that you took 2 kids to the zoo and being 35 weeks pregnant! I won't even go by myself w/ 2 kids and i'm not pregnant! :-)

Good job going to the zoo with 2 kids being that prego! You look great for only having a month left. Love the pregnant belly! Your kids are getting so big and as always, super adorable! Are we going to see you on the mountain this summer? Hope so!
