Surprise at the zoo!!

We decided to take a short trip to the zoo, we packed a lunch and took off. It was to our surprise, they were doing construction at the Zoo! At the end of it all we had a lot of fun. The zoo is one of our favorite things.

Noah was a little fascinated by the all the "Really Big Trucks"!

They had shut off the part of the zoo near the Arctic, and Africa.... We were a little disappointed.

Ok, this guy almost ran over us.....A little scary!

Noah was quickly distracted by a puddle, he has new "bug boots"! He loves them.


He calls them "bug boots" because the old pair had bugs on them, the new ones are iguanas and caterpillars....? Oh well, they are his favorite. He would wear them to church if I let him!

Favorite Restaurants!

Hawaiian food is a Huish favorite. Usually we go to a place in John's landing. Recently I found a place that is the AKA of our fave, the take-out version!!!! It's close too! Right over by Cedar Hills Crossing. If you are going to try it, I have some suggestions!

They take only about 15 minutes to get the food ready, just enough time to drive over there!Some must trys;

- Phil's Ono Chicken, its cooked in a shoyu sauce (a sweet soy sauce)Heaven!

-Korean Chicken, Garlic Lovers paradise!!

-Kalua Pork! Need I say anymore??

All the meals are served with Hawaiian sticky rice and Macaroni salad.

Thai Derm is yet another fave! Its in the same area, closer to the max tracks.

We love just about everything on the menu!

Some must trys;

-Hawaiian curry (of course)

-Red Curry

-Green Curry

Now, I know that some of you don't like spicy, but you can order it with no spice, or a lot of spice. Its fun, the tables look like they are on the ground, but the floor is hollow below, there are cushions that you sit on and your feet can hang down! Its really quite a kick!

We would love to go anytime, so, if you're up for an adventure...Let me know!

Enchanted... I figured it out!

She was in the movie Rent!

Not that that makes any sense to anyone, but for those of you that it does.....

Past summers...

I was organizing my scrapbook stuff, pictures, you know the usual, and I found this picture! I love it. We were on a hike with my folks, summer of 2002, just before we were engaged! It was so fun for me to find this! Thought I'd share.

Wordless Wednesday...

Ok, I love the idea of wordless wednesday. Enjoy!

My wild day!

OK, so the nastiest thing happened yesterday....
I have to go back and start at the beginning.
In the fall, we started hearing noises above our room, in the attic. I would listen in the morning, I finally realized it was birds. So, I called the office to have them come and take care of things, and put something over the holes so the birds would stay away....I was ignored. "Birds can't get in there.." I was told over and over. It started to quiet down a week or so ago. I still had the guys come out to check.....Finally yesterday they responded. I asked if they found birds or evidence of birds. "Oh, yes there are birds...but it's dead!" That is what they said....GROSS!!! (that is all they would say...) I forgot to add, they did take the bird out....still gross!
So, what should I do?? I have been calling all winter, and they ignored me. I have been told to go talk to the health department, or corporate, or make a complaint with the owners....I don't want to let it go because it is a health issue....?? Or should I??
Please help with some suggestions. Thanks!

Our computer was on the fritz. We took it in, and it was a cheap easy fix, it was just a hassle.
The icons on the screen were huge and not very pretty, I couldn't change the resolution without it shutting down. Well, its home now, so, all is well.

So, on a happier note. Aaron was able to feel the baby move last night for the first time!! He was so excited how fun is that. She is such a wiggle worm, I don't get much sleep, but it is so worth it! I finally have a basketball belly...I will have to post some pictures. Noah loves to tell me how big my tummy is getting, so sweet, I don't think anyone else could get away with it.

I am so excited for conference! Its the first time we will are having everyone over to our home. Some of Aaron's family is coming into town, and we are having a little conference Sunday. I am going to make cinnamon rolls (a little tradition in my family) and we are having a big Sunday dinner. It will be so fun!!

I've been tagged...

Ok, so I have to tell you 7 random things about myself.
Here we go...

1. I love reality TV, not all of it, just a lot of it.
2. Secretly, (well not so secret anymore) I want a pair of cowboy boots...don't ask
3. I have two false teeth, I was missing the permanent teeth...so they had to be fake. They are implants....I can't take them out.
4. I LOVE snowboarding, everything about it. I feel so free racing down the mountain.
5. I truly enjoy finding an old piece of furniture and giving it a make-over, and sometimes a new use.
6. I'm adopted...that should explain the lack of interest in star trek. (my folks love it, I don't)
7. I have an annual pass for Disneyland.....

I hope this was enjoyable for you all.....It's harder than I thought it would be. There might be more....but I only had to list 7.
I am going to tag, Jackie and Laurie!
Have fun ladies!
