Hogle Zoo

We ventured off to the zoo today and it was crazy. We really should do these types of things on weekdays. Baby Delcia saw a baby giraffe and elephant, but was most excited by the pool of water and water trickle in the bear exhibit. I guess that is what being a parent is. Expectations and excitement and then they play with the box the toy came in.

The baby Giraffe.

Laid off and Laid back

These pictures are mostly for Grandma Bev, but the latest news is that John was laid off last Thurs. We are dealing with the bad news by spending a lot of time together and enjoying the smiles and giggles of our sweet little girl. We are hoping John will find a new job soon...

Visiting Idaho

We had a great time visiting Jenny, Chris and Grady in Idaho. Delcia enjoyed attacking Grady and going through his toys. Hopefully they will have more fun together when they get a little older. She also acquired two bottom teeth while we were there, hence the screaming all night long.

This is the day after John and Chris climbed The Grand Tetons. As you can tell, John is a little tired and worn out.

Grady did not climb The Tetons, but was also tired and a bit grumpy.

Jenny and I unsuccessfully trying to give the kids a bath. Delcia went through a phaze of being afraid of the tub without me being in it with her, and Grady did not want to be in the tub with Delcia.

Grand time

For brother in law day this year Chris and I headed up the grand Teton. It was a first for both and we were happy to make it to the top and back. It is a big mountain and an achievent to make it successfully back to the car. Here is Chris "Jigity" Jensen guide extrordenare and us at the top.





We learned a lot for the next time in 4 years when we've fully recovered.

Bath time with cousin Kirra.

Delce, chartering new territory.

The red balloon

A lady working at the grocery store gave Delcia this red balloon. She thought it was so cool! It popped shortly after these photos were taken, when it had a run in with the ceiling fan.

Caught!
