Dallas!

McKenzie and I got to have a much needed girls weekend a few weeks ago when my friend's husband had to go out of town and we decided to go out to Dallas to keep Kelly company. It was so much fun and despite what she says, she has some of the cutest, funnest kids. We had a great time! Thanks so much to Kelly for showing us around for the weekend and letting us crash her house!

Things we did:










Went to the Dallas Aquarium. It was so awesome. I was totally impressed.










Playing with the river otters. They loved it.
















They took any chance they could to pose for a picture.









This was McKenzie's favorite part. She loved the sea turtles and manatees.




Checking the map to see where we go next.




Merry go round at the Fort Worth Zoo.
















By the elephant. Don't they look like supermodels! This zoo was really cool too. It makes the Hogle Zoo look really wimpy!









We went to the Rain Forest Cafe, which I had never been to but it was too dark to get a good picture. The Rain Forest Cafe was a lot of fun. Better food than I had expected. I would totally recommend it!

We also did a lot of eating out, talking, laughing, and got in a lot of House Hunters, which happens to be my favorite show! Oh and we did get in a walk one day...a little exercise to burn off all the food and treats we ate!

Thanks again Larson's! We'll have to do it again really soon. Actually McKenzie now wants Bodie to be a dentist so we can live in Texas. She did inform me that Bodie can't be a Vet though...because he is allergic to cats and what if a cat needs to be fixed? Bad news for Dad!

Happy Anniversary!

Wow... our 11th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it has been 11 years. I still feel so young, but maybe it is because I am still pretty immature sometimes! We celebrated by going to dinner at Market Street Grill. It was delicious. We were pretty boring since we had both been working a lot that week, but we planned on spending Labor Day together, just the three of us. As it turns out, Bodie was on call that weekend and ended up working for most of it. We did get to go on a little hike on Labor Day up in Middle Canyon which was lots of fun . Anyway...it has been a wonderful 11 years!

First Day of School

Posing for the first day of school pictures!

McKenzie finally had her first day of Kindergarten. Finally in her words...not mine! She has done great going this first week. She goes in the morning and on the second day of school, she asked me if she could start walking in by herself...I said no! I had to make sure she knew where her class was! Now that she knows, she walks in by herself and is so proud of herself. She told me the other day that she had made a friend in class and when I asked what her friend's name is, she said she didn't know. She is really good at going, and doing her reading homework, but just about falls apart at night. I know she is just trying to figure out what it means to be in kindergarten...she has to be big, and independant, and has to do it for the next 20 years! When we were getting ready for the second day of school, she said that she didn't want to go anymore because she has to wake up so early and she doesn't even have time to do yoga anymore. I realize that it has only been a week so far, but overall, the whole school starting thing has gone over pretty well!
