Lots of fun stuff...

So I'm a really big slacker, and I'm sorry.  I have a few things to catch up on so here goes (I'll try to keep it short and put lots of pictures).
3 Year Anniversary!!
Zack and I celebrated our third anniversary on Feb. 17th.  We didn't do anything huge, we just went out to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, but we
 did get a baby sitter which we don't do very often.
  
So it was fun to be just the two of us and a sleeping baby.  It's been an awesome three years, and I feel like I've known Zack my whole life instead of just three and half years.  I love being married to Zack and I wanted to write a few of my favorite things about him:
  1.  I love how he thinks bodily functions (burping, tooting, potty stuff) and toilet humor are the funniest things on the planet.  He's just a little boy inside.
  2.  I love how he is a little OCD about things, it cracks me up.
  3.  I love how he makes me laugh when I'm crying.
  4.  I love watching him with his two baby girls!  I think he is the best dad ever.
  5.  I love how much he helps out around the house.
  6.  I love how he goes easy on me when we play sports together.
  7.  I love his eyes, they are so gorgeous!
  8.  And I love when he smiles (a real smile, not the fake ones he does or pictures).
He's an amazing husband and father and I love him! 


Wedding day in Manti

Our Honeymoon in the Bahamas!

Great news!
My brother Jason and his wife Paloma are expecting!  They just found out and I am really excited for them.  They are also buying a new house in Hurricane at the end of the month.  Congratulations :)


Visit from Nama and Papa!
Zack's mom and dad came to visit us on March 12th.  It wasn't a super long visit, they had to leave on the 17th, but we were so glad to see them.  Ady had a blast bossing her Papa around for a few days, and he did what ever she wanted him to do.  Poor Nama was sick the whole time, so it wasn't a lot of fun for her, but we were so glad to see both of them.  Thanks for all your help with the girls and the yard, and thanks for coming to visit, it was lots of fun!  We love you!


Papa took us to Chuck-E-Cheese!  Zack and I won 
lots of tickets so Ady got a pretty good prize.


Camping trip!
Zack had spring break this last week, it was so nice to have him back for a whole week.  We went camping from Tuesday to Thursday with some friends.  It was so much fun.  We were really nervous about how the girls would do, specially at night, but they were amazing little campers!  And the weather could not have been better for us.  It was 80 degrees the first day and 85 the second.  We went down to a place called Chickasaw and camped by The Lake of the Arbuckles.  We also went over to an awesome place called Turner Falls on the second day.  It was fun.  We played in the water and the mud, we skipped rocks, and we roasted marshmallows.  Ady loved it so much, and I've never seen such a dirty little person before.  She was so filthy, but she loved every minute of it.  She was so sad to come home.  

Ady and her friend Drew playing in the lake.  The water was really cold.

The sweet Brinkley girl.  She was such a good sport.

Ady and Drew hugging.  Ady was so dirty.  The shirt she
 wore was covered in dirt and leaves when we left.


While we were at Turner falls Ady heard a little boy speaking spanish and she looked at Zack and I and said, "Silly boy, he can't talk".  It was so funny.  So I tried to explain to her that he was talking, but in a different language.  I don't think she quite understood.  

This is Turner Falls.  It was beautiful, and it was nice to 
see some mountainous land formations again.

Other stuff...
-We still haven't heard from the Air Force, but we are still keeping our fingers crossed.   

-This weekend Zack participated in quite possibly the geekiest thing ever.  Him and 12 other guys here had a star craft party.  I think it's funny that they all get together and play star craft til like three in the morning.  Geeks!

-We've been planting fun stuff in our yard.  Our neighbor gave us one of his pear trees and we planted some big flowers too.  

-Zack and I just got done playing session of indoor soccer, and I just started playing the next session.  It's fun, and our team does pretty good!

-I finally started Brinkley on rice cereal, but she won't eat it.  She seals her lips shut when I bring the spoon to her mouth, and then when I do get some in, she gags on it.  I don't really know what to do about it.  She's five and half months old and so sweet.

-Ady quote:  she grabbed Zack's cheek and said, "chunky baby."  She also says she doesn't want a dog any more because "they stink and they poop in the bath, and they are dumb doggies"  according to her. (Zack brainwashed her into thinking that all dogs are mean and horrible, sad.)  And I'm not sure why she thinks dogs poop in the tub????

That's about everything that's going on with us right now
