A Day At the Zoo

We took Gregg up to Boise on Tuesday for him to get everything processed for him to go to basic training on Wednesday. He got done earlier then we thought he would, and wanted to spend his last day with us at the zoo. We had a great time.

Brenix loved all the animals, it was the first time he's ever seen them. But MaKayla screamed when ever we got close to any of the cages. All i could get out of her was that the animals were going to get out. No matter how much we tried to convince her she was safe, Mak screamed her head off till we moved away. I guess the Zoo's not for everyone.
Gregg is now in basic training down in Texas. He will be gone from us for the next 174 days (one down and many more to go!). He said he was prepared and ready to take what ever the drill Sargent's dished out. We'll see just how prepared he was after his first letter. MaKayla and Brenix miss him already, and I'm doing all i can to explain that Daddy had to go so we could be happy together later. They're not really buying it, and neither am i to tell the truth. But we'll do our best to get along without him till he gets home safely.
The only time Mak stooped crying was when the tiger was swimming.

Happy Halloween

We had a blast this year. MaKayla insisted on being Sleeping Beauty, so Grandma went on the hunt and found the perfect pink dress for her. Only problem was that she gave Mak the dress a month before Halloween. But after a full 4 weeks of asking, MaKayla's patients paid off. She was the prettiest little primness at our wards trunk or treat.

And then there was Super Brenix! Poor kid wasn't so sure he liked the whole thing. But once he figured out there was candy involved, he got a lot happier. With all the chocolate he got, I'm surprised that he slept last night.
