Toyota Elephant Passage

The Denver Zoo just opened their new Toyota Elephant Passage!  We have been watching the construction for over a year.  So the weekend it opened, we headed to check it out.  It was a great day at the Zoo!  The kids had a great time petting the different animals they had out!  These two cuties are not afraid to pet the animals and actually really enjoy getting to experience the different animals! 

 Lily and Logan started the morning off petting the Bearded Dragon. 

 It was so much fun to watch Logan discover the animals this time.  He is at the perfect age to really start LOVING the Zoo.  He sees all the animals now and gets excited to point them out!  His smiles were incredible to watch!

 This is just outside the new Toyota Elephant Passage.  They have brought in two new males so they can start the breading program.  They have a very unique exhibit that will allow them to bread because they can keep the males and females separate.  They also run all the animals through all the yards so that the animals get the sent of other animals.  The exhibit is HUGE!

 They also brought in a new Black Rhino as part of the new exhibit. 

 After we did the Toyota Elephant Passage, we headed over to the Lorikeets to feed them.  Logan enjoyed climbing on the benches and finding birds down low to point and talk to!  Lily loved feeding them and was able to do it all by herself this time!

 And then there was the Carousel! This time Lily picked to ride on the bench and kept her arms folded the entire ride!  

 Both of my kids did something that I would not, pet a snake!  I try not to pass on my fears to my children and clearly they alright to pet a snake!

At the end of the afternoon, both kids were pretty tired!  Logan fell asleep and Lily was not far behind him in the car!  We had such a great day as a family! 

My Wife

Just so everyone knows, I have the greatest wife ever. She's a great wife, a super mom, and a friend to anyone who needs one. She shows her testimony of the gospel and the Savior by the way she cares for and treats others. Thanks, Megan, for all you do! -- Me

Ice cream Bliss!

The smiles say it all!  

City Works

The City of Centennial had a City Works day at the Library!  They brought a few of their trucks for the kids to climb in! The kids had a great time!

 So very serious!

Princess Lily

I love this little girl and that smile!

My Crazies!

I love being a mom!  I love being Lily and Logan's mom!  I love my crazies!  They keep me smiling all the time.  I love watching them grow and change.  I love seeing their little relationship grow stronger all the time!  Logan just thinks the world of Lily and Lily thinks Logan is a lot of fun too!  The past few weeks it has been fun to see Logan copy Lily's play habits.  Lily is always cooking something in her kitchen.  Now Logan is also always cooking something! 

 I also love looking at old pictures with Lily.  The other day I was going through old pictures with Lily and we came across a picture of when she was just over a year and she was dressed up like a potato head!  Well she came into my room the other day and asked me to take a picture of her.  I turned to see her dressed like a potato head again! 

Carrots Please!

The other night we had a bowl of carrots and cucumbers with our dinner.  After dinner Logan, decided he wanted to sample the carrots.  So the logical solution was to climb on the table and get the carrots himself!  I turned around from taking a few dishes to the sink and saw this.  I had to snap a few pictures before I took him down.

 And of course Lily had to get in on the action!  I sure love these two crazies! 

At least these two LOVE healthy foods!  I am totally okay with them sneaking carrots and cucumbers!
