Fun With Cousins

Robbie (3) and Aubrie (5) have been with us since Wednesday, and we have been having a blast. The only the that has been killer is Mabel has been sick. She has literally thrown up over 30 times on every square inch of our house, bless her heart. I drove 2 hours to go see her vet that knows her to see what was the matter. I left at 6 am...got back around 2, and still more vomiting. Also, Mabel can't even hold down water let alone food, and if you know Mabel, you know something is up if she won't eat. Anyway, we took her to a local vet to get put of fluids b/c she is so dehyrated, and she will be staying the weekend. We miss her dearly, so please keep her in your prayers. Here is me bringing all 4 kids to the vet by myself. (Carl went to the BYU v Tulane game...he owes me big time :).

Then after getting depressed about missing Mabel, we decided to go to the zoo...After we went to a consignment sale that was on our way home from the vet. It was 50% day, so how could you not stop for that?

This Tiger was so cool. It was pacing right up next to the glass. I am sure he was debating which kid would have been the tastiest. He sure liked CJ, so I am glad for the glass.Kangaroo Country at the zoo has a mine where the kids can go mining. Doesn't CJ look cute!
KWho wouldn't want these guys working at your mine?

I have about 20 pictures like these. It was like this at every exhibit....So Cute!

And then, there was the petting zoo, or shall I say, "kid heaven".

Aubrie wanted to get her picture taken with every animal. I think we have like 10 other pics that look just like this but with a pig, goose, lama, baby goat, etc.

Now, this is boy heaven.

Seriously, boys and their tractors.

That is supposed to be a lion face.

Again, another lion face.

She was actually growling at me. That's a true lion.

Then, after the zoo, we invited all the girls whose husband were at the BYU game to come over to have homemade pizza. Then, after pizza, icecream, and then after icecream, our new toy...

WHAT A DAY!
