Great Weekend

I had such a fabulous weekend with my family! Steve went snow boarding so I packed my bags and stayed the night at my sister Tara's house on Friday night! We went out to dinner and had girls night and tried a new Thai Food restaurant that was quite delicious! Tara and I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning talking and laughing about who knows what! After a while, EVERYTHING was funny! We woke up to Ava talking to herself and saying "dada" in her cute little, high pitched voice! How can you be in a bad mood when you wake up to something so dang cute??? She is one of the happiest babies I have ever met! I hope my kids are that happy!

After eating breakfast, we all headed over to the Phoenix Zoo! You can take you bikes to the zoo now! I would definitely recommend that to everyone! It was so much nicer to get around the zoo! The weather that day could not have been more perfect! I was so glad that my dad came, even though he told me that I was "kinda cranky"... what do you expect from an pregnant girl who only got five hours of sleep??? :) Sorry dad! I am definitely one of those people that needs my beauty rest to function!
My favorite part of the zoo was watching the orangutans interact with each other! They were so cute! The mom and the grandma monkey switched off watching the baby monkey! It was so cute! They would tap each other on the shoulder and switch spots and take turns babysitting! Smart animals!
It was so fun to have a sleepover again with Tara, it was our first sleepover in about three years! It was definitely well needed! Thanks for the great weekend! Lets do it again!

  1. I am glad you had such a great weekend. Wish I could have seen you though, especially since you didn't come to dinner on Sunday! I could just imagine you and Tara laughing until all hours of the night :) See you this Sunday. I hope Steve had a great time snowboarding. Can't wait to see pics of his trip!!
