~Hogle Zoo~

::7/19/11::
Grandpa Coon, Natalie, Daddy, Mommy, and Kimberly went to Hogle Zoo. It was perfect weather for our outing!! We went around 11:30am, so while we were there a lot of the animals were getting feed. It was cool to see the animals out and about. (I was afraid that going in the middle of the day they would be sleeping and hiding from us) I think Kimberly enjoyed the zoo a lot better this year. She has been into animals a lot more these days. I loved seeing her reaction when she would finally notice the animal. On the other hand she did NOT like the dinosaurs they had there. If we got to close and it would make a noise she would grab on tight and would want us to walk away. After we went to Cafe Rio for dinner (yum!)  and then we headed over to uncle Paul and aunt Jodi's house to swim (sorry no pictures). It was a ton of fun and we were so glad daddy took the day off to spend it with us!

Aunt Natalie and Kimberly!!!! (We like when Aunt Nat comes to visit)

 I think the Elephant was her favorite!

 She is so funny, when you crouch down to talk to her, she will do the same!

 Grandpa and Kimberly

 She hasn't been to fond of carousals lately, but we wanted to try. So Aunt Nat took her first and she didn't want anything to do with getting on the giraffe.

 But then mommy took her and kind of forced her onto the animal. After it started she actually enjoyed it and when I tried taking her off at the end of the ride she kept saying "no" "no" "more" "more".

 We had to measure up!

 Towards the end she got really tired and fell asleep before we could go on the train ride. Good thing we bought a year pass!!!

 I had to take these pictures to capture her mad face!!! ha ha she is doing these faces all the time now, and I have no idea where they come from, I NEVER make these type of expressions!!! ha ha

 And I would have to say I "heart" these shoes so much. I hope she doesn't grew out of them to soon!



~Fair~

This last weekend we went to the State Fair. It was so much fun and we enjoyed having a whole day with daddy without having to work on the yard. Kimberly really enjoyed the fair. I think she is a people watcher so she just sits in her stroller and watching everything that is going on. At the end of the night Kimberly played her favorite game, where you pick up a duck and see if you won anything. Well she won a stuffed animal that she picked from the wall herself. After she won it she was holding it and actually named it. "dubby du", She kept calling it that. I thought it was really cute that she named it. She has never said or called anything "dubby du". We also had a fun surprise, Cassie my good friend got stuck here in Salt Lake so she came to stay with us for the night and decided to join us at the fair. It was nice to hang out with her for a while, it has been along time. But we did miss her little boy KJ!!!! Hopefully next year he can go.

Kimberly loves standing up to the couch. She is getting so big, she will be walking before we know it!!! Kaydence (the little girl I baby sit) is watching Kimberly and I'm sure wishing she could get down and play.

Our little family at the fair, Kimberly didn't want to take pictures!

Cassie and I at the fair! I was glad she hung out with us for a day, But we did miss little KJ.

They had this cute "little hands on the farm". I'm sure Kimberly didn't understand it but she seemed to like doing things around the farm.
Picking a apple.

Picking carrots

Riding the tracker!

Gathering the eggs

Looking at the fishing!

Her favorite game!

This is the toy she won! "dubby du"

~Camping~

This last weekend we went camping with Jeremy's family in Fairview Cannon. We had a ton of fun and didn't like that the weekend went by so fast. It was a little cold and windy but it was supposed to rain on us and it didn't so we were glad about that. I forgot to take pictures every day that we were there so all these picture are of us right before we left but I did get Kimberly in her cute little camping clothes. Kimberly did pretty good. She had a little harder time with this trip now that she can crawl. She wanted to get down to crawl around but didn't like the feeling of the dirt. So she crawled around the trailer most of the time.

Here she is in the trailer!

Daddy and Kimberly

Our little family

She would sit in the dirt and even picked it up and played with it but didn't like the feeling of crawling on it.

Our camping babies!

I have started babysitting my friends little baby, Kaydence. She has been a pretty good baby! Here are the babies playing on the floor. Kimberly is ok with her, I think she kind of get jealous when I am holding her. But still gets excited when Kaydence gets here in the morning.

Here is a pretty dress Kimberly got. I put it on her to go to a bridal shower with Grandma Coon (Patti) I wish I had more events to go to that she could wear it. She looked so cute in it.

I turned on Dora the other day and Kimberly sat there for the longest time watching her. She doesn't watch much if any t.v. but I guess she like Dora.

Her first bruise!!! She keeps falling on her head when she gets to the hard wood floor from the carpet. Its like her hands stop but her legs don't!! I felt so bad when I saw the bruise. She also got a bruise on her cheek when we were camping. I think we definitely have a ruff neck. She only cries for a min and then stops.

Don't you love the Elvis lip!!! ha ha

~St. George~

Kimberly and I went down to St. George two weeks ago and stayed for a week. We had so much fun with the family. We spent a lot of time with Keesha, Jarryn, and Lexi. Jarryn had his 7th birthday, Chandler had his 23rd or 24th birthday ( I can't remember!!!) We went out to dinner at Sameri 21 for there birthday dinner. I got my hair cut by my loving sister. (Thank you Kylee) We went swimming at Aunt Traci's house and at the rec center for Jarryn's friend party. Went out to dinner ALOT! (Thanks Maga and Papa),Bought new fun clothes for Kimberly. Kimberly learned to sit up from a laying down position and is finally teething(I know I keep saying this but it is real this time I will prove it with pictures later if I can get them from her)!!! Spent some much needed quality time with Maga and Papa. And Kimberly went on her first plane ride!!! Yes a very busy week!

Kimberly and Lexi are starting to like each other, but they still pull hair, poke eyes out, roll and kick each other.

Dinner at Sameri 21 for Jarryn and Chandlers birthday!

I just realized I didn't get a picture of Traci, Blake, Corbin, Carly, or Braylon at dinner

Kimberly and Lexi liked taking baths together. They both love baths!

Keesha and I bathing the babe's

Cutest two babies ever!

Kimberly tried cookie dough for the first time! (we didn't put eggs in it so she could have some)

Kimberly's first plane ride. She did really well, she got a little antsy at the end but she was really tired and my little girl does NOT fall asleep in my arms! She wants her bed or car seat!!!!

I love this smile!!! (Sitting on mommy's lap on the plane)

This post and the next one are backwards but I didn't want to download pictures again.

Also today 8/10/10 I felt in Kimberly's mouth and her first tooth is finally poking through!!! It is about time little girl. She has been kind of cranky but I guess I can't blame her!!!
