My Little Monkey

Last week we went the zoo to celebrate Dave passing his personal training exam! Yay for Dave! So he is now an offical trainer so hopefully in the next few months we will switch to that at 24 hour fitness.
We were so excited to take Brinlee back to the zoo because she is so in to animals lately. Even if there is an animal on TV she will just stare at it and laugh. And it was as wonderful as I had hoped! The animals loved her as much as she loved them! These monkeys melted my heart! It was the first things we went to look at and they were all just sitting there and doing nothing when we got there, so Brinlee had no idea what we were looking so we put her up to the glass and they all came down to see her. It was so stinking cute! Probably the cutest thing ever.


Next, I was so excited to go to the zoo to see all the new babies! I didn't get pictures of the tigers or leopard because they were far up in their cages but the baby elephant was the best. I love baby animals.

Brinlee never falls asleep when we are out so it was funny that she did at the zoo.

I can't believe how big she is getting. She looks like a big girl sitting on the bench.

We did it!

Today was the race for Ovarian Cancer! It was really great. I am so happy we did it. There were a lot more people there than I expected, but hopefully next year there will be even more! It was great to be able to do it as a family for my Mom. Ashlee and I even made shirts for everyone so I know she would be proud. Here are some pictures of today.

We had to get up at 6:00 am to be there and Brinlee isn't much of a morning person.

Me and my friend Melissa. She did with us. Thanks again Meems!

The whole family!

It said on the back "walking for our Mom"

Crossing the finish line!

Labor Day

We had a very fun Labor Day. The first part of the day we had our family pictures taken by Ashlee. (I will post them soon) It is the first offically family pictures we have got taken since Brinlee was born and I am excited to have some cute pictures to hang up around the house. Then after we went up to Silver Lake. It is right by Brighton ski resort. It is so pretty up there, and it was fun to be able to go up and enjoy the mountains before winter sneaks up on us. Apparently there are tons of moose there all the time, so I was a little nervous we were going to run into one, but Brinlee was so loud the whole time I think she scared them all away :)
