Our Missionary

Mom successfully got out of the house and to the MTC this morning. she was dressed to impress. she looked stylin! In case Anita is reading this, i convinced mom to go get her hair cut, and she did. Here is the new do'. She said it was a little shorter than she wanted, but i think it looks good, and you can really see her face. if nothing else it will keep her nice and cool out in the California heat! anyway, here are the pics we shot of her just before she left.

 And mom if you are reading this, we love you and miss you and wish you the best of luck!!!

our trip to the Hogle Zoo

so we had lots of fun at the Hogle Zoo on Saturday! we had never been before, and we had a pretty good time. We got to see the new baby elephant named Zuri---we got to see her playing with this big red ball:) it was so cute. we also got to see penguin's, llama's, rhino's, and a few giraffe's. we also came super close to a cute little monkey---he came all the way to the glass and looked at us:)  we didn't get to take that many pictures, because i forgot the camera at home again! sigh. i did get to take a few with my phone, so without further ado, here they are:

Is This Better?

Oops!  Is it obvious I haven't been into blogging too much lately? :-)  I still have to figure out how to change the font colors.  Fortunately the ones in there go well, but they've changed how they do it on blogger.  Crazy!

fix me please:)

so i was just checking the blog, and i noticed the background on the blog has disappeared. the image is no longer there. Anita, Please fix me!
