What a zoo!

It was perfect weather, and Terry finally had a day off, so we packed up the two monsters and headed to the zoo! It was definitely way better than I remember, and most of the animals were out and about.

Terry HAD to have a wagon for Deacon (so much for the double stroller!)

A monkey on a monkey!

The elephants enjoyed some lunch (didn’t get to see the baby though)

Deacon loved the monkeys!

Taking a break…

The famous lion fountain!

Checkin’ out the giraffes

Deacon decided it was Terry’s turn to ride in the wagon

Evan was having a blast too!

Only one mishap the entire day: I spilled my grape sno-cone all over my purse and Evan’s blankie! If you’re keeping score, that’s two blankets ruined in three days (gusty winds blew one off at the mall parking lot, then a car ran it over). But hey, at least I wasn’t wearing these shoes (or the pants):

This is Deacon about 2 minutes after we left

Going,

Going,

Gone!

What's going on

This guy turned 3 months old

Terry’s mom got married Congrats! We love you!

Deacon discovered cupcakes (and loved them)

Evan practicing his adorable smile

Deacon discovered wagons (also loved them!)

Warm summer weather means lots of lawn mowing (we’re training him early)

Lots of playing at the splash pad and park too, but I’m a ding-dong and forgot the camera.

Warm weather = 2 happy kids and one happy mom!

2 months old

Evan turned two months old on the 9th! He is such a sweetie and we love him. He weighs 11.7 pounds and is 22 inches long. Pretty sure he is going to be my tiny little guy compared to Deacon!

2 month bear chair pic!

And in case you didn’t get an announcement, here it is:

He’s a pretty mellow kid so far, but when he does cry it’s pretty cute (see for yourself, and I apologize for Deacon’s ear-splitting scream)

And what has the goofball been up to? Check it out:

Farm day!

I made the long drive to Tremonton to let the boys see some farm animals (ok, Terry’s stepdad had to buy a pig and invited me along, but you get the idea!) This place had some serious farm equipment and really cute animals!

Deacon loved the very huge tractor

Mini horses!

 

Puppies!

Giant pigs!

 

And one cute little boy

Baby pictures!

We got some pictures of the new babe the other day. He wasn’t very cooperative, but I think they turned out pretty cute! Thanks to Kylee for taking them. Check out her blog at http://kcoulamphotography.blogspot.com/

 

Cute pics

This is a pretty random post, but these two boys are keeping me on my toes!! I’m loving every second of it, though. It’s definitely easier the second time around!

Terry bought this outfit for Deacon. What a stud!

Having fun at Grandpa’s

So precious!

He's here!!

He’s finally here!! Evan Ross Rees arrived Tuesday March 9th at 7:37 am (his lungs definitely work!) He weighed in at 7 lbs 5 oz, which is pretty tiny compared to Deacon who weighed 8 lbs 12 oz, but I guess considering what happened in January it’s pretty good! He has been a pretty mellow dude so far, which has made recovery a breeze. I got to go home a day early, and I’m feeling great!

He’s here!!

So glad he made it!

So what did Deacon think of his new brother? Check it out
