Cabin Life

basketball

Kali and Krew love to watch their Auntie Cori play basketball, they love to cheer for her and they like to practice so one day they can be just like her. Luckily Grandma Tami got Kali and Krew some cool new shoes that will help them run faster and jump higher.

Kali is like 90% inside the paint :) She like to pretend there is 3 seconds left in the game and she has to make the last shot to win the game. :)

When the game is over she has to eat her banana so she will grow strong muscles, that is what she told me :)

Oregon Zoo

I finally got our pictures up from our Zoo trip.

The Polar Bear was definitely our favorite, he was so fun to watch playing with his ball and when he would dive into the water he did it just like a human, arms up by his ears and jump and dive head first. So fun to watch!

The elephant on the left was HUGE! And the baby elephant was cute.

We walked by this rock and a speaker was making a growling noise.

Krew thought it was so funny.

Krew's favorite animal was the Zebra. He didn't want to stop looking at them.

We rented this for the kids to ride in. They wanted to pull more than ride in it. By the end of the day Kali decided is was time to rest. We finished off the day with a train ride that goes all around the Zoo.

The Zoo is always a fun place for the kids, they love to see all the different kinds of animals.

It was fun going with the Brook family, Lindsay says Kali is the little sister she always wished she had, so she spoils Kali. It is fun:)

He is not only my best friend, but has gained long lasting friendships with others.

Not only does he have a good relationship with his brother Zach who he loves and is always thinking about, but he has gained 4 more siblings from my side of the family and now knows what it feels like to have sisters. He is protective of them :)

He is known as the Ox, Hulk, the big guy, etc.

My husband is not hard to miss because of his massive size, but he is this way because of his dedication to working out. It is so amazing to me how he has been so dedicated for about 6 years now.

Aaron, I love you.

I am such a lucky girl to have you as my man :)
