Ten on ... Zoo style

The Holiday weekend has me all messed up, so I am doing my Ten on Tuesday today, Wednesday... Sprinkled with pictures from trip at the Denver Zoo this summer with Grandma Bette. It was really hot, so I only have pictures of the animals for some reason...

1. We are getting close to getting our house! As in, it's almost countdown style. And we are going to be in the local paper for it. I will post a link if I can... We get our pictures taken today. The kids think it's just weird.



2. This means we get our stuff in about 2 weeks! It has been almost 6 months. This may be better than Christmas for Max!

this rhino thinks it's Africa hot...


3. At some point I have to write a post about all the crazy things that have happened to us since we moved into this Boulder apartment. Not in a "woe is me" type of thing, but just a keepin' it real and would like to remember because one day we will laugh about right? type of way..."

this big horn sheep is like, "who put me in the freakin' Sahara? I can't see in this bright light."


4. Zoey is doing fine adjusting to middle school, but it is hard moving into a place where people have lived their whole life and aren't used to the military moving thing.



5. I rarely get on facebook, but it is nice when you have a birthday and people pop out from all over with birthday wishes.



6. Speaking of birthdays, I turned 37 last week! I think that is crazy. I haven't had issue with any age before but for some reason, this one gets me. not possible. I still have decided what to be when I grow up! HAHA

This picture I took especially for Ross... he has a thing for grizzly bears.


7. Ross missed my last two birthdays (he was in Afghanistan and then a month long trip to Colorado), so he took the day off for this one. Besides the fact that we had to get the car registered as it expired on my birthday, we had fun!



8. Max gets to play on the playground before school if we get there early enough (and it starts later here than Ohio), so he has some fun before the day starts. Zoey had that in California, and I thought it was such a nice idea. Don't know what happens when the weather changes though.

this was my favorite picture of the day:


9. Max and Zoey are both in soccer and they practice in different towns on the same day. It causes me stress. that is all.



10. I hope you have a great rest of the short week and a fun September!! Zoey is 11 at the end of the month... WOW



I like his tongue here. Have you ever seen a giraffe tongue? HUGE AND PURPLE!






the end.
