One of our last get-togethers at our old apartment was for Dominic's birthday last summer. He got his first real bike and a TON of Thomas toys...that kid got spoiled! It was a Thomas pool party, and I don't think that Dominic could have asked for anything better than that! His two favorite things seem to be trains and swimming, so it was perfect!

New House, New Life

So we have been living in our new house since the beginning of October. It's nice having all of the extra space inside and out. We are planning to buy a house, hopefully this year. It will be nice to have our own home. We have looked at a lot of homes so far- It seems like that's all we have been doing lately! Owning a home is definitely our top goal for 2011.

Day in Big Cottonwood Canyon

Dominickles

We spent the day up at Moss Ledge in Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was soo nice to relax and enjoy the outdoors with the family! Dominic loved the river. He found a long stick and was pretending to be Willy Wonka with a cane!! It was hilarious! He thought we couldn't see or hear him..haha.

The most beautiful children in the entire world!! I can't get enough of those angels.

Ok...I'm not gonna lie. We had to bribe him with corn chips to get him to take this pic with Ash lol

My precious princess snacking at our picnic :)

Dominic

Playing on the Rocks. Dominic was such a tough kid! He climbed up huge rocks and walked through the stream. Once we told him there were chipmunks in the canyon he kept trying to find some so he could give them food lol.

Zoo

Our day at Hogle Zoo May 20 2010

Tiny Dominic next to HUGE elephant skeleton!

Dominic insisted on holding Ashy on the lion statue. He wouldn't let me take the picture without her!!

Ashley was quite content buckled

into the stroller getting into everything..and chewing on the map..and on our paper cups. lol.

This is Dominic riding on some bike exhibit at the zoo. He's saying "Better than a Harley!"...Just for daddy :)

This picture is at the elephant exhibit. He thought it was so cool to hold his hand up to the Rhino footprint. What a cutie!

We rented a big stroller and they loved it! Ashley was in charge of holding the map but she ended up drooling on it and ripped it up instead:) lol. Dominic just HAD to get a churrrrro of course.

Dominic loooved this cart thing that we pushed around because he could sit on the edge and hop out whenever he wanted. By the end of the day, his shoes were off and he was walking around in socks! It was such a relaxing, fun day and was super nice to spend time with both of them together.

These are the two cakes that me and Carly and my mom made.. We went kind of overboard on the decorations but it was still fun to play around with the cake tools and stuff..They look a little deformed lol. But they were sooo good:)
