Day at the Zoo!

We got a Zoo pass this year and I am so excited to be able to go whenever we can! We went for my nephew's birthday and we had so much fun! I will admit I think Tay's favorite animal was the chicken that was in with the gorilla! She loved it and would not move from looking at it! She was tired and it was super busy so she spent most of the time in the stroller. Cant wait to go again and again and again!

A couple of weeks ago Mark was honor for being a Marine by the chamber of commerce. Each year they honor 2 service men from each branch of the military and Mark was nominated by his unit! I was a fun evening, with food and entertainment! This should be his last time getting in his uniform. Here are some pics!

Mark's presents for being honor!

First Big Accident

At the end of May we went camping with Mark's family! It was a lot of fun BUT Taylor had her first big fall... not so fun! She fell off the cool flat on her forhead=( It was horrible to see and hear, she could not stop herself with her hands so it was really scary. She was screaming and we ran into our tent, both Mark and I where very shaken up after seeing her little head hit pavement. She was screaming and her nose was bleeding and we where worried she might have a concusion. Thank goodness Mark was able to give her a blessing and couple minutes later we where still worried and she was fine! She healed very fast but I did snap some pics~

Wheeler Farm

On Memorial Day we went to Wheeler Farm and had a pinic and walked all around looking at the animals! Taylor was not too excited about getting close to the cows... they are huge and she is so tiny! She LOVED the chickens and the little chicks, and the little goats. The goat was so little(not sure what a baby goat is actually called) she loved feeding it grass. She also likes the ducks and geese... not like her mom! While we where there Mark challenged me to let one of the geese eat bread from my palm... and I did it. For those that dont know me I DONT LIKE BIRDS, DUCKS OR PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THING THAT FLIES! For some reason they scare me so I was pretty proud of myself. As we where walking out we saw some Donkeys and she also loved them and sat and feed them for as long as we let her.

Happy Easter

Easter was a busy day for us with Mark getting put into the Bishopric! He was not able to go to my Aunts with us and we all missed him. I was great to see everyone and enjoy being outside!

Grand Announcement

Mark was called to be the 2nd Counselor in our Bishopric! He was ordained a High Priest and set apart today. We are so happy for this opportunity for him to serve our Heavenly Father. I as his wife am so proud of his worthiness and the willingness he has to serve where he is called. At first I was overwhelmed with the fact that he will be gone more but know that he is needed to serve our ward. He is the youngest High Priest in our stake! I am also very thankful to have family and friends who love and support us! I love and am so proud to be married to a man who honors the Priesthood and loves his Heavenly Father and Savior so much... We have just started a new part of our lives and know we will grow from this experience!
