It's a girl!!!

Yep. Definatley a girl!

Olympia

Look at the mighty girls infront of the Temple of Justice! Their like so powerful!

On the Capital Steps. Charly's practicing for Vogue.

Aren't my photgraphic skills mind boggling! This is the 10 ton Chandalier that a VW bug could fit inside of.

It's considered lucky to rub President Washington's nose. Oh yes....I feel it.....

We went to Olympia with My parents and Sabrina & Lizzy. The girls have never seen the Capitol before.

I had a meeting with the Department of Early Learning so we didn't get to stay very long. But we did take the tour with a guide I swear was gay.

Rex got a Com!

Rex got a Navy And Marine Corps Commendation Medal for all the long hours and hard work he did at his last command. Yep, he's transfering! Now instead of seeing him only late a night, I never get to see him! Wahoo

The acting Captain gave him the award. It's pretty rare, I hear, that a 1st class recieves such a medal but Rex really deserves it!

They made Rex give a speech. It kinda went along the lines of, "I love the guys I work with but the job stinks so I'm happy to be leaving."

And he thanked the Captain for signing the document.

Rex with his Division Officer. This is the man who wrote Rex's medal. He doesn't even have a Com from the Navy. A real nice guy.

They had a bouncy house for the kids. The girls LOVED it!

Watch out for Taylor lips! Their a killer.....

School!

Taylor's first time on a bus by herself! My neighbors were in tears over their children. I was like, "C-ya!"

The three musketeers. There are 4 people from our ward in Taylors class. She already has a posse!

Taylor started kindergarten today! Yesterday we had orientation. It was cute. The Principal went on a gingerbread man hunt with the kids around the school. They had pictures of gingerbread men at places like the office, library, gym, etc. then they got to eat a gingerbread man. But today she is gone for a whole 2.5 hours! Man, half day kindergarten's a waste of time. Mikey starts preschool soon. It's 4 hours longs. So I have Taylor in the mornings, then I drop her off to pick up Mikey and have her till the other two come home. My four hours of freedom last year is over. Oh well. Kids are fun too right? ;)

Daddy's new toys

The girls bought daddy light sabers for his b-day. Unfortunatly they don't work with any of our Wii games but their fun to play with! And light up, how cool is that?

Lizzy loved them.

Snow Leopard Day @ the Zoo

Our Zoo just had two baby snow leopards born! So we celebrated at the Zoo. Though we could only see the babies through some mesh, twenty feet away, behind some bushes and trees, I could decern that white shapes where indeed moving around. Must be Snow Kitties! For obvious reasons we never got a good pic of them. SO the hour long wait to see them was a bit wasted. Oh well the girls had fun climbing rocks while we waited.

The girls got to be zoologists and take care of little stuffed baby animals. Taylor got so into it she started giving everyone else shots as well. Most to our displeasure....

I got to feed the gorillas after the docs fixed them up. Love my giraffe cheek?

At least we got to see the new penguin exibit. It was huge. The girls are laying in a viewing dome to see the penguins swim by them.

Daddy's Photographic skills at work. Aren't they cute?

Makayla loved the Komono Dragons. I told her they were looking at her because she looked tasty. She didn't believe me. Their getting to smart!

We got our faces painted, play at the Zoo, got to pretend we were in Mongolia, and pretend we saw snow babies. Pretty good day after all. :)

Rex's Birthday!

We started our day at the Temple for a Temple Day with our primary. They took us on a tour of the Temple grounds and taught the girls about the Temple.

This is Rex's tummy shot of Taylor.

Here they're looking at Moroni. So cute!

Afterwards I had the Primary sing Happy Birthday to Rex. He tried to duck out but I caught him.

So Rex said, scew it! I'm taking my birthday into my own hands and getting the biggest rootbeer in WA. So we went to XXX Burgers in Issaquah for the 4th ranking rootbeer in America. Rex loves this place. And I hope he still will after they dressed him up as seen and sang happy b-day to you cha cha cha with the whole resturant cheering on. Oh yes that smile on his face is a "I'm gonna get you for this later Jess!"

Way to take your b-day in your own hands Rex!

At least he got a sundae and a new T-shirt out of it!
