My Heart is FULL!

Every time I think of my family, my heart is full of love!  I have been blessed more than I ever thought I was worthy to receive!  Lily and Logan know how to make me melt every day! 
 Logan LOVES to climb and play in random spots.  The other day he was playing with his animals on the landing right outside our bedroom.  He was talking and having a great time, all the while laying on his back!
 Our Lily is becoming quite the little talker!  She loves to talk on the phone to Grandparents, and cousins and any one else that will talk to her.  She has SO MUCH to say and is so curious!  She asks a lot of questions, only because she wants to know everything!  Thankfully someone pointed out to me that the reason she asks so many questions is because TJ and I give her real answers and she wants to know more!  She is so smart and I love to see her grow in her understanding of the world!  To think that I am privileged to help her learn and understand is incredible!  What a special daughter Lily is!  She will do amazing things as she learns more and more!
 These two LOVE their daddy!  The other morning, they both wanted to help him make breakfast.  It was so much fun to sit back and watch them love their daddy! 
Both Lily and Logan have a deep love of books!  While I was making dinner, they were sitting together looking at the new library books!  I just had to capture this precious moment!  I love these two more than words can say!  They bring so much joy to our family!  It is a blessing to be their mother!

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

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!
