We've had lots of fun this past week with the NICE weather we've been having!  Jacey loves being outside and can't get enough of it.  We've had outings to parks and we've even gone to the zoo twice this week.  We decided to invest in some annual passes this year.  So far it's been worth our money.  :)  We went on Tuesday by ourselves, then again on Thursday with Michael, Melinda and Claire.  Claire was an angel and slept the ENTIRE time we were there.  Jaclyn cried for about half the time and ate for the other half.  Well, she did sleep a little bit.  Jacey had fun, he doesn't really get that excited about the animals yet, but like I said, he just likes being outdoors.  We got him one of those "leashes" for kids.  It's soo cute and he LOVES it.  He thinks he's in charge, and we don't have to chase after him as much.  It's a win/win situation.  The second outing to the zoo was more eventful animal-wise.  They were more active and playful.  I love this picture that Jeffrey got of the bear.  It is soo cute.  Looks just like how a little boy would play in the water.  We're not doing anything special for the long weekend this year.  There are some things that are happening in town that are keeping us here, but with the weather so nice, there's really no point in leaving.  If only we had a pool....




The zoo is exhausting!


Our family hanging out at Michael & Melinda's after an afternoon at the park.

Snuggling with mom & dad.

Enjoying a few skits from SNL. I don't look very amused, but believe me, I AM!!

Oh - and I LOVE Jacey's leash! :) Nixon has the same one. I swore I'd never be one of those 'wierd' parents who treated their kid like a dog...but it just can't be helped. lol

That pic of the bear is awesome -- those zoo pics look like they belong in a magazine! And I miss those kids so much. Blogs just can't be updated enough when you're away from those sweet little kids :( I too love that Jaclyn is sleeping on the table in the last pic haha. So cute!

Jaclyn's so precious.

Those are awesome you guys! The bear picture is amazing, and the one with you and Jaclyn...you just look so sad, but so beautiful...and your eyes look like drops of crystally brown diamonds (hehehehe my attempt of poetry!) :D And I love your new background. So great! Can't wait to go to the zoo with you! I need one...no two of those leashes!!

your pictures all look like they are out of a magazine. I love them. I miss the Calgary Zoo. It is so awesome. Jaclyn is so beautiful I can not get over it. I love the picture of you and her.

Glad you love your zoo passes; I am seriously thinking about getting some, too. It is so fun to go with little kids, but maybe Mady is a little young to fully appreciate it yet.

Hey Emily!
I just thought I'd let you know that I have checked out your blog a few times. Your family is so precious - Jacey is the most handsome little man, I can't believe how fast time flies either... It doesn't seem that long ago when you barely looked pregnant when I worked at Palmer Salmon with you, and now you have 2 little ones!!! I hope things are going well for you and Jaclyn is doing much better :)
Would you mind me putting your blog link on my page? Im still pretty new with all this...
Take care!!
- Suzanne
