Free Zoo Day!

A few months ago my neighbor told me about the free zoo day on the last Wednesday of the winter months.  Today ended up being a good day for us to go and it wasn't nearly as crowded as I would have expected.  It was about the same as any other time I've been to the zoo.  

We went with our neighbors, the Squires.  Some of our other neighbors were going too, but I lost my phone and was never able to meet up with them!  We also ran into my friend Natasha and her cute boy Lincoln so it was fun to catch up with them.  

The weather was pretty good except for that cold wind!  Compared the the blizzard outside right now it was pretty much great.

It was a fun day!

Biggest Loser

My family is doing a Biggest Loser challenge.  It's more like a "get healthy" challenge since the little girls and Tyson are participating:)  Everyone gets a point each day for each item on the left and a point for each percent of weight loss every week.  Every one gets a turn creating a weekly challenge for everyone to do to earn an extra 5 points or something.

Kelsey pretty much already posted everything that I was going to post on her blog.  It's been funny so far hearing all of our reactions to this healthy stuff that we should have been doing all along!  I always knew I didn't drink enough water, but holy cow!  Now I'm wondering how I even survive!  Same with vegetables.  It's just funny that I never paid attention before.  We'll see how long this lasts:)

It's day 2 and I have 15 points so far.  Anyone else have more?

The Best Things in Life

Any of my three boys will agree that one of the best things in life is an ice cold coke in a nice hot bath. 

(I promise the discoloration is spilled coke)

(don't anyone freak out - it's just his belly button)

 Tyson had a Coke in the bath the other day and Easton wanted one in his bath this morning.  I accidentally left the can in there when I put Callan in the tub and he LOVED it.

While we're on the subject of bath photos, here are the boys sharing an octopus for breakfast the other day.
