2 Trips to the Zoo and Judy's visit!

We went to the Zoo twice last week. It was so fun! I don't know how much Brooklyn cares for it, but I love the Zoo! Especially the Monkeys! I could watch them for hours. Chicago has an incredible Zoo, as good as any I've been to, and best of all, it's Free! So whenever we go into Chicago, I try to go, even for just an hour or so.

A few of friends from church and I went Monday. It was kind of crazy, and I think the highlight for the kids was the little puppy that came over to visit us as we sat outside to eat lunch before going into the Zoo! Maybe next time we can just pay someone to share their puppy with us and save 3 hours in the car with fussy kids!

I wish I'd gotten more photos of Brooklyn and her "Nai Nai". Our Zoo photos didn't work out. That one on the right is of them with the Hippo. We LOVED having her with us! I am soooo blessed to have the most wonderful in laws ever! Judy promised to come often while we are here and I'm holding her to that! We were all very spoiled while she was here - especially Brooklyn who got a whole new wardrobe (;

As Trey would say, it was "Balls to the Wall COLD" at the game last Saturday! Judy truly has a mother's heart and sat on the metal bench until Brooklyn and I arrived near half time. We put Brooklyn in her Tiger outfit because it's the only hat that she keeps on. Needless to say, she was a hit (;
She loves her Daddy!

It sounds like everyone had a great time. Zoos are great especially when they are free. Have you been to the Botanical Gardens at the Chicago Zoo? Incredible place to take photos of the little ones.

Option for a Healthy Birth

I am not typically a big writer on my blog. I usually just post a few dozen photos of my adorable child and make little comments below. Well, I need some sort of outlet for all of my frustrations and thoughts and would love some feedback on them. As many of you know, I ended up getting a C-section with Brooklyn after planning on a completely natural birth with the help of Hypnosis. That is a whole nother story, and I wont' go into it, but I learned a lot about the what I want and need to have a healthy delivery. After extensive research into the process of birth, I know that it is possible for me to have a beautiful, natural birth and the things that that entails really aren't extreme and are in fact proven to be healthier choices for both me and my baby. (For our book group this month, we are reading "Gentle Birth Choices" by Barbara Harper, which is one of several books I have read on the topic and one that I would highly recommend - as well as the documenary ...

Washington D.C.

So I am finally getting around to catching up on the blog! My excuse for not blogging for months is that life has been insane - don't we all have that excuse though? Here is a brief description of mine though. Blogs to come. October 10th, Trey left for DC and I had a few days to get everything together for 3 weeks away. I decided to bottle a dozen or so bottles of Grapejuice, throw a dinner party etc. But soon we were off. We spent 11 amazing days in DC with our INCREDIBLE friends the Boeys. They were so hospitable and fun! (Adding to the fun and craziness of it all, My Sister Brooke and her family just happened to be there at the same time, and my BYU roommate Sariah and BFF from Childhood Kelly both live there) (SEE BLOG) Straight from D.C., we went to Georgia for 5 days to visit Trey's Grandparents. It was amazing and I will blog soon about that! Spent Halloween there As soon as I got home, my dear companion from Taiwan was in town, so I met up with her and 2 of my oth...
