Memorial Day Weekend Day Two!

Monday was Memorial day and Chase's Birthday so we decided to head to the zoo to CELEBRATE! Are we CRAZY? Probably but the kids had a blast even though it was rainy and cold. The boys enjoyed looking at the animals and telling everyone what sounds they make. We unpacked the strollers from the cars and found that they stayed empty most of the time. After the zoo we headed to a Church Pavilion in Kaysville for Mark and Erika's wedding BBQ. Pictures of the wedding will come soon! (Scroll down to see Memorial Day Weekend Day one!)

Memorial Day Weekend Day one

It was a CRAZY few days in our family and I thought I 'd share the craziness with you. It all started Sunday! Jen and Todd and their kids Chase and Kayla are visiting for Erika's wedding and decided to bless Kayla while they were here. The kids decided to play in grandpa and grandma's yard and we took the opportunity to take pictures of all the cousins!


My new adorable neice Kayla!

My super cute nephew Chase!

Carter and Rylee playing with soccer balls!














Rylee just hanging out being so cute!

Chef Carter!

Ryan and I were in the other room with Rylee when suddenly things got very quiet (as they always do when Carter is up to something) so we went to investigate! We found our little "chef" making, in his words, "macaroni and cheese!" It's pretty funny what kids observe us adults doing and then attempt it themselves!
This apparently is the "pan" cooking the noodles on the stove!

This is him with his oven mitt (or in his exact words, his "glub")

He had to take the "pan" down to actually stir it and then he would put it back on the stove.

PS Just so you know, we make it a general rule NOT to encourage our children to play with the stove, we just couldn't resist taking pictures of this classic Carter moment!!
