Picture A I love the picture, but we are all kind of squinting.


Picture B

I like this one too, except Elizabeth is looking at the ground.

Picture C

I love this picture, I just wish I had worn an ankle length dress. I don't like my legs and flip flops in this picture, what was I thinking? Hello, I know my legs aren't my best feature.

Family Pictures by Heather Ferguson

One of my friends from my childhood just started a photography business about a year ago. I decided to have her take my family's pictures while we visited Texas and she did an amazing job. I am so pleased with the pictures she took and I am pretty sure that my family is probably one of the hardest families to catch on camera. These are just some of the pictures, there are more that I love, but I decided to post these. Go to her website at http://www.heatherannette.com/ and book your photo session with her today if you live near Provo, Utah or Denton, Texas. Her prices are reasonable for a professional photographer and she gives you the copyright release, which I love.

A Day with Pa Pa at the Fort Worth Zoo

Grandpa took all the grand kids minus Taylor to the Fort Worth Zoo today. It is one of the top 5 zoos in the nation and it was pretty fun except for the 100 degree heat. The pictures in this post are in reverse order, and there are a lot of them.

Abigail and Thomas crashed 5 minutes down the road coming home from the zoo.

Elizabeth got another shiner on the other side of her head while we were in the zoo. I am afraid she may have her mother and grandmother's klutz gene.

Water Works

The water park in Denton is about one mile from my parents house. Every Friday, they have splash story-time sponsored by the Denton Public Library. They read a story at the water park and then the kids get to play for one hour. The best part about it is that it is FREE. We met cousins at the water park and had a blast.

Listening to stories.

Abigail has lots of fun with her Texas cousins: Trevin, Brendan, and Liliana.

The Frank Buck Zoo

We went to the Gainsville Zoo with Grand Nan. I remember going to that zoo when I was little, it is the perfect size for little children and they loved it.

They had a little train that went around the park. Perfect size and length for the kids.

More Texas Fun

This weekend we went to the Bass Hall in Fort Worth to see Little House on the Prairie the musical starring Melissa Gilbert. It was great! I love musicals and it was really neat to see Melissa Gilbert as Ma this time instead of Laura. The girl who played Laura had an amazing voice and the story was so cute and reminds me of my own circumstances in Rockland. I wish it was showing in Salt Lake so I could take Darin to it, but they are staying in the south for a while.

We ate at Joe's Crab Shack before the play. Yum! So many restaurants, so little time.

Dear Pocatello

Dear Pocatello,
We need Super Target. I promise I would shop there weekly.
Thanks,
Target's biggest fan - Misty

Dear Pocatello,
Please get rid of all of your Artic Circles and Taco Johns and put the following fast food restaurants in their place. I am not a huge fan of fast food, but these have to be my favorite and Pocatello doesn't have any of them.

Wow the last 10 days have been a blurr! We are in Texas now, well Darin has already gone back to Idaho and we have been running since we arrived. We are having a blast and have kept ourselves very BUSY! Here is a re-cap of the last 10 days.

We left for Texas, where it is 100 degrees in the shade on May 29th, we drove through every season in two days. It was quite the trip 1500 miles in 24 hours.

First things first, Heather, Mom, and I went on a shopping spree and got our hair and nails done. We were all starting to look pretty rough around the edges, and now we feel much better.

Our family got pictures taken by my friend Heather Ferguson. More about that to come.
