The beginning of July

A few weeks ago I took the kids to the zoo with Davis' Mom, sister McKell, sister Kiersti-kids Lauren and Mya, and sister in law Heidi and her kids Lexi, Will and Jones. It was great for the first 10 minutes. Then we took cover at the carousel while it POURED rain like I've never seen before. We made a mad dash to the reptile house where we took cover until it drizzled and then finished the zoo in about 15 minutes. It was cold, wet and fun. Guess we'll try to go again when it's not raining.




Crazy looking kids...whose weirdos are these?!?!?!

Ahhhhh, sibling love.

Then on the 4th we headed to Alpine for the annual barbeque. Davis' grandparents have a barbeque every holiday starting with Memorial Day and ending with Labor Day. It was a small group this year and Bennett finally got to meet his cousin (if that's what you call it when it's his Dad's cousin's kid...) We'll say cousin just for fun.

Landon and Bennett-Landon is 2 weeks older and 10 lbs heavier. I held him for about 5 minutes and thought my arm would fall off....look at those cute legs and cheeks. I loved kissing those cute cheeks.

Cute boys!!!!
Bennett showing off his crawling skills. He normally army crawls, but didn't like the grass.

Eating Landon's hat. Bennett loves to put EVERYTHING in his mouth and I mean everything. By way of documenting. About a month ago Bennett was crawling around and Davis picked him up, noticed a hair clip in his mouth just as it went down the throat. Bennett started to gag and dry heave. We were freaking out he was choking. He was breathing okay, but in obvious distress. I ran the kids to the neighbors house and off we went to the doctors. We got there and they informed us the x-ray machine was an hour out, so we had to take him to the ER. 3 hours and $700 later (don't forget we have no insurance) the doctor let's us know they see nothing on the x-ray...bye bye!!!!! I checked his poop for the whole month...nothing. We still have no idea what Davis saw and or what it was he was choking on.....Davis swears he saw the hair clip and that Bennett has amazing digestion. Oh well, guess we'll never know.
