Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

2 A Gaggle of Girls @ Hogle Zoo

Last week, while our Stafford cousins were visiting (Bailey was out of school for 'Spud harvest'), we met up with our Beattie cousins in Salt Lake & went to Hogle Zoo. It was the perfect day! It was cool, but a jacket was almost to much. The animals must have loved it; they were all out for us to see. Since it was a Tuesday & the area school were in session, there was hardly anyone there. It was great to let the girls roam a little since there were no crowds to get lost in. I don't think we will ever try to go in the middle of the summer again. October is the time to visit the zoo!

It was really hard to get all the girls in one photo.
Maren ended up in this one trying to help.

This one was too cute not to share.
Maren caught Laura & Emma in a candid moment at the Elephant Encounter.

Kylie started off in the front pack, but couldn't sleep there so Allie got booted out of the stroller.

Oh I love the pic of the girls "reading" their brochures - too cute! Looks like lots of fun! Maybe I'll get to bring Syd on one of these outings on day...

SUPER! One of the bonuses of being a mommy is that you get to spend time at parks, pools, & zoos. We'd love to have you come play with us big girls. Plus, we need to meet Syd!
